My face flushed bright red as I noticed how close we were.

"Thanks," I said, removing his hands from my shoulders.

"I can protect myself."

Elliot nodded.

"You'll be a sad excuse of a girl if you couldn't. In fact, you should be protecting me. Not that I would want that. I'm pretty strong for a Xianian guy."

Wait, then are Xianian guys usually regarded as weak in the capital world?

I gave him a wink.

"Of course, my young prince."

It was Elliot's turn to turn red.

"I told you that I can care for myself. Jeez."

I let out a hearty laugh.

"Thanks, for the offer."

"Can you two move aside?" Alex asked, glaring at us. "You're blocking the doorway."

We moved away, letting him pass.

"Where is he going?"

"He has a buont recital to go to."

"He plays the buont?"

The buont is a string instrument that resembles a harp but the tunes don't.

A varied sound is produced.

That sound depending on the emotions and feelings of the player.

It is said that it's both the easiest and hardest instrument to play.
