Swoosh.
Colin descended with Connie in front of the towering theater doors.
"Connie..."
King Wilder, standing alone before them, saw Connie and her companion touch down and his pupils constricted slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure and turned to Connie, asking, "And who might this wizard be by your side?"
At this moment, Connie had not yet recovered from the thrill of the flight, and with an excited tone, she replied,
"Dad, have you forgotten? This is the wizard friend I mentioned to you last night... Lord Colin!"
Wilder was taken aback.
Wizards capable of flying were usually at least Advanced Wizard Apprentices... He hadn't expected the wizard his daughter had befriended to be so powerful!
Wilder quickly replaced his expression with a smile and greeted, "So it's Lord Colin."
Then with a hint of regret, he added, "Unfortunately, I've been tied up with trivial matters these past two days and have not had a chance to meet you in person."
