"Why are you here?" Celestria couldn't help but ask the redhead who was unexpectedly following them to the North.
Valerie shrugged, "I thought it would be something fun, so I tagged along."
Celestria pinched the bridge of her nose as she said, "You know where we are going and for what we are going, right?"
Amanda wryly smiled, "Don't you think Valerie will be more interested in coming along when she hears about the contest?"
"Contest? As a battle contest?" As Amanda thought, Valerie's eyes sparkled hearing about it.
"Alex has gone there to find more about his real parents, and to make his wish come true he would be participating in some kind of contest." Edric added, "We are going there to back him up."
Valerie raised her brows in surprise, "Never thought Alex would be taking such bold steps on his own...and even leaving Cela behind."
Celestria grumbled, "He was worried about me, so he didn't bring me with him."
