Noah's loud, cheerful voice created a vibrant echo in the atmosphere, completely obliterating the numb silence that stayed on Xanthus's side. The first-order knights except the one sent flying off in the air stayed still behind their Commander Randall, gawking at the sight ahead.
In fact, the knights standing on Illay's side seemed perturbed by watching a measly servant like him, glowing and cheering up for the Crown Prince, waving those plum blossom branches up in the air. The fact that it was harder for them to digest was that Xanthus allowed that himself!
However, with each cheerful applause from Noah, a brightened smile crafted Xanthus's charming face, as he peeked a few glances at him behind. Watching Noah's jovial hand waves and loud cheers for him was an absolute feast for his eyes, which even let him completely forget about the lonely feeling that was spearing deep inside him a while ago.
