"I'll see you later," patting her on the shoulder before she left. He watched her walk away, almost in a dream state, and smiled happily to himself.<br/><br/>Maldor lingered in the room as the Princesses departed, bowing his head as each passed. He glanced up at Akira and cleared his throat for his attention. "Kitsune, come with me," he said monotonously, and left the room. Akira padded behind, reminding the knight of his name as he did. Once completely alone, Maldor pushed Akira against the wall. "Whatever you are doing, kitsune, you better stop now," he growled harshly.<br/>"Wh-what?"<br/>"Leave the lost Princess alone."<br/>Akira's eyes widened and immediately averted from looking at Maldor. He tried to shrug but Maldor's grip on his shoulder prevented any movement. "We're just friends, she's been a princess for barely an hour," he muttered.<br/>"And keep it that way," Maldor hissed before releasing the fox. He continued down to the main hall, his fairy brethren had brought out the their greatest triumph of the hunt; a giant boar. He joined the festivities with a smile, although underneath hiding his fear.
