[HMM?]
Ruto was surprised when the Eternal Flame summoned him.
He got a bit nervous because the last the Eternal Flame summoned him was when it asked him to stop Neoma in the first timeline from being corrupted by Darkness.
[But I don't think Neoma would go rampant this time.]
Ruto was aware that the current Neoma had a very nasty temper. But the current Neoma was better at controlling her emotions than her past self.
[Moreover, she grew up a bit shrewd, so…]
<"We met again, Commander Yoan.">
"I go by 'Ruto' now, Mr. Eternal Flame," Ruto said. "Is Neoma alright?"
<"Of course, she is.">
"Then why did you summon me?"
<"The little princess decided to share her right to wield the Eternal Flame with her people.">
To say that Ruto was shocked would be an understatement.
If pride would become a person, then it would definitely be Neoma. She would rather die than let other people die for her.
