"Tch!"

Lanus wrapped his arm around Renee, jumping away while lifting the fae from the expanding web the beast produced. Their speed, however, was insufficient, with some of the webs latching on to Renee's feet.

"Renee!"

Lanus yelled when he realized that his lover had slipped away from his arm, pulled back in by the webs glued to her feet. And to make matters worse, the beast was gunning straight at her!

"Damn it! Renee! Wake up!"

Try as he might, he was not fast enough to protect her. She had to do it herself!

And then, to his surprise, and relief, the beast suddenly stopped in his tracks, before dissolving into tiny wisps that promptly disappeared.

He quickly rushed forward to Renee's side, kneeling down to cut through the webs binding her feet. Normally, he would use the opportunity to look up her skirt, but his mind was now solely focused on saving his lover. That was far too close to comfort, even for him.

He stood back up, hugging the shaking elf, telling her everything would be alright.

Only when the blonde fae made her appearance that he looked away from her.

"Giselle?" His mouth fell. "W-why are you here?"

Years ago, back when he was still a royal knight of the Fae queen, she was a co-worker of his. A particularly feisty, hard-to-flirt-with co-worker at that. No matter how many times he tried to woo her, she would always reject his advances.

And so, it was only natural that his jaw fell to the ground in her presence.

His gaze was now locked upwards towards her divine beauty. Or rather, the fabric that rested between her legs, unhidden by the short dress she wore. Now that Renee was safe, it seemed his perverted mind had resurfaced once more.

[I] Ooh, nice sexy black! It fits her perfectly! [/I]

"Hey, Giselle!" He waved his hand at her. "Long time no see!"

Rose then came over to where he and Renee stood to check whether the latter was well.

Renee slowly nodded. "I'm-I'm fine. I was just… reminded… how Father… and Mother… was…"

Lanus placed a hand on her head. "It's fine. You don't have to remember if you don't want to." He shook his head at Roze, signaling her to drop the matter for now.

The reavers then returned to the surface world, with the children thankfully alive and well. On the way, Lanus simply gave Giselle a grin as she gazed daggers at him. All the while holding hands with Renee, who was still recovering from her shock.

Lanus smiled at the tearful embrace the children had with their parents. Even Renee did as well, though only a little.

Only after all that, Giselle finally decided to speak to Lanus.

"Why, hello there, Giselle! I thought you've all but forgotten about me!" He grinned. "It's been quite a while, isn't it?" He gave a deep bow towards her.

"Now now, it was Her Majesty who wanted to bed me. I didn't force her into it in the slightest! As a ladies man, and her loyal retainer, I couldn't possibly disappoint her, could I?"

At these words, Renee's grip on his hand tightened. She looked up at him with a mixture of disapproval and disbelief. "You… bedded… Her Majesty?"

"I did. But don't worry, my dear! My body is now only for you and you alone!"

Renee's gaze turned cold. With a huff, she switched her attention towards Giselle.

"Hello. I haven't thank you for saving me, haven't I? How shameful of me." She pinched the hem of her skirt as she produced a curtsy. "I am Renee, Lanus' partner. Apologies if he has offended you in any way, Miss Giselle. I assure you, he shall be punished for it. He never told me he had bedded another woman before me, that's for sure." It was now her turn to stare daggers at him.

Lanus smiled at the sight. His Renee was returning back to her usual self.
