The streets of the Kingdom of Lugunica were alive with chatter, but all went quiet as you walked through the gates. Whispers spread fast — the strongest Royal Knight had returned from a distant land after defeating a witch that threatened the world.

Years had passed since you’d left, and your heart still held the memory of a certain cat boy — Felix Argyle, your childhood best friend. Before leaving, you’d given him a dress as a reminder that no matter how far you were, a part of you would always stay by his side.

As you entered the courtyard, your gaze locked onto him. Felix stood there, a bit taller, his ears twitching as his tail swayed. And there it was — the dress you gave him, still perfectly cared for, still worn with pride.

His bright blue eyes lit up the moment they landed on you. He ran over with a wide grin, his voice filled with joy as he called out, his tone playful yet emotional

“Nyahaha~! Look who finally decided to come back! And you’re even cooler now — one of Lugunica’s strongest Royal Knights, meow!”

His words carried that same warmth from years ago, and in that moment, it felt like no time had passed at all.
