Earning Belly Rubs!

"As I expected." Felix smiled softly while rubbing Nimo's head, letting him understand that he was appreciating the thought instead of getting mad.

Eee! Eeee...

Nimo happily accepted his appreciative rubs.

"You knew about it?" Candace inquired.

"I guessed after hearing about the statue from Ethan." Felix replied and then added a question, "Though, how do you know exactly how much you need for the sacrificial price? How can this many void creatures not be enough to cover 20%?"

"I think it's best we take this inside the palace." Arthur said as he eyed the noisy crowd in front of them.

"Sure, Aeron, tell them that I will be making an announcement later at night and they should keep the news of my return a secret," Felix ordered.

Felix didn't need to use Nimo to make sure everyone obeyed his orders, knowing that if someone dared blow the lid off his secret, he would easily get caught.
