|| Chapter 18 || Cataclysmic Red War

A stray wind blew throughout the inside of the wide silent pavilion. The white curtains danced wildly as if punished.

Without care, Yoongi let the wind brush through his hair. His eyes remained as it was, suspiciously glaring. Even after hearing his secret unearthed easily, spoken by the elven woman in front of him, he remained dangerously silent.

Elliah, who was still utterly shocked, she immediately apologized for her inconsiderate behavior. She acted on her own completely lackadaisical to the third young master. She was too rash but was sincere about helping the young man.

"Are you hurt?" She asked, worriedly.

Once again, Yoongi only looked at her silently. Even the little fox beside him made no move but stared at her.

Yoongi's thoughts weren't panicking but the complete opposite. He calmly watched the elf who had learned his secret. It wasn't such a big deal if his ability was revealed, he just didn't expect the event to happen in a situation like this.

Sighing, Yoongi relaxed his stance and slowly sat down on his seat, softly apologizing for the mess on the table.

"Forgive me, It was very rude of me. Are you alright?" She asked again, tempted to check on him again but declined to do so.

Yoongi turned to her with an unreadable face "I'm not hurt".

"Thank goodness..." The elf sighed in relief.

"However, I would be very thankful if you only keep this secret to yourself, Lady Elliah.." He's smile was kind but his tone was threatening. Gone was the previously laughing youth she had chattered with.

"Of course, Yoongi. If it means to you that much, I will support you" She returned a smile to him. "I was very rash earlier and I assure you it wouldn't happen again. I was trying to break through a hidden force inside your internal body and discovered your mana core strongly hidden within. I realized then that you are an ability wielder. I want to help you, Yoongi. But if you find it really troublesome you can refuse me. I understand if you want to keep it hidden".

Yoongi felt the sincerity in her voice but after the performance, she did earlier, he was tempted to avoid trusting her at all. He will never put his guard down ever again.

Narrowing his gleaming silver eyes, his doubts were spoken openly by the frost in his eyes. Elliah knew then that this youth in front of her was extremely different from his two brothers. Break his trust once and he will never trust you again.

Yoongi only stared at her for a long time as if to search for any suspicions. After failing to find any except for the elf's look of undeniable sincerity, he began to relax slightly. "I appreciate your offer, My Lady. But I'm afraid I must decline, perhaps, some other time. The tea was excellent and I had a great time so if you would excuse me, I will be heading back".

Placing back the overturned teacup, Yoongi smiled at Elliah as he stood up. Without waiting for a reply from the woman, he beckoned Mochi to follow him as they exited the place without even glancing back.

Kashter flew and landed on top of the table as she stared at her master, curiously.

Blinking her shocked eyes, Elliah sighed regretfully. Why did she carelessly offend the boy? Wasn't it going well?

Recalling Yoongi's cautiousness from the gleam in his eyes, she was sure this boy had experienced something harsh to attain this kind of vigilance. Perhaps, it was really true that Yoongi had survived all on his own in his life in the mountains. This boy had the power to defend himself of what endangers him.
