Soft and delicate white translucent silk curtains danced with the gentle breeze swirling through the curtained pavilion. It was spacious with eight strong statue-like pillars supporting the massive octagonal roof. Small crystal lanterns hanged on each corner of the roof, gleaming brightly against the sunlight.

A lone figure sat on a delicately designed chair, elegantly setting a teacup down on the similarly designed table. Soft platinum hair fell down from the woman's shoulders like a waterfall of silk. Her oval angelic face, beautiful light grey pupils, and soft milky skin made her look like a deity except for the pair of pointy ears, visibly protruding. With one look, she was clearly an elf.

"My Lady!" Kihyun, the knight, greeted the female elf with respect.

Lady Elliah was an elf mage serving the Min Family since Yoongi's father was young. Before then, she was still an apprentice mage, and currently, she was now an esteemed Mage as well as a valuable educator in the well-known Azuran Academy. Although she was years older than Lord Fraunces, her beautiful face remained unyielding.

She had just returned from the tiring journey to the country of Meian. Upon hearing about the disappearance and return of the third young master, she hastened to return quickly to check the family.

"Kihyun, don't call me that" Elliah cracked a smile at the heaving knight. Kihyun never failed to amuse him. She always prefers for people close to her to call her by her name.

"Sorry, it's a habit" The man scratched his head, bashfully. "Where's Kashter?" He asked, eyes roaming around in search of the blue golden-eyed Aezelian long bird that had often accompanied the woman in front of him.

"I sent her away to check on something. She should be done by now" Her voice was cut off when loud beatings of large wings came closer as a marvelous bird, no longer than a meter, glided through the pillars. Kashter, the Aezelian bird, Fluttered her colorful bluish amethyst wings as she descended and perched on the crest rail of Elliah's chair. Fixing its gold eyes on Kihyun, it chirped in greeting.

Kashter's chirps were like musical chimes as she conversed with her master about her discovery. Kihyun watched like a spectator, observing them as they communicate with each other. The man was already used to it.

"White hair?" Elliah's eyes perked up, curiously. How strange... This was definitely something worth investigating. Yoongi's strange transformation was something unusual indeed. Perhaps, it would be nice to sit and chat with the third young master for a little while.

Since, Jinyoung, the spirit seer, could not identify the cause of Yoongi's change maybe she could perhaps examine him herself. The spoiled child must be frightened by his sudden transformation. She had always wondered how in the world did that frail boy manage to survive in the deathly freezing winter mountains.

"Are you talking about the third young master?" Kihyun's eyes were wide and sparkling, oozing with adoration which surprised the woman. "Young master Yoongi has changed tremendously ever since he returned. He hasn't insulted anyone, hasn't bought anything lavish, and he even learned to train how to fight every day. Although he had gotten much quieter, he's now kinder and gentler to everybody. His smile is like a dazzling ray of sunshine, like a cure for the dark heart".

Kashter tilted his head, staring dumbly at the exaggerating man in front of her master.

"That's... quite surprising," Elliah blinked in disbelief. That child was like a hoarding bear, endlessly unsatisfied with everything he would own. It was a bit much to describe Yoongi in Kihyun's point of view.

"Why don't you meet him yourself? You're bound to be surprised by his change as well" With a proud grin, his freckles looked extremely childish. "I heard he's going to be attending the Moonflower Gathering in Faerim City soon. I'm a bit worried about him but young master Yoongi is very different now so I believe he will be fine".
