    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" You figured it out?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s my brother."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You mean Licht?" He didn''t seem like the type of guy to hire assassins against him. He was pretty calm. They also appeared to have a friendly rtionship.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No!" Alfia shook her head, "Licht isn''t the one who caused all this. The one who did this is my other brother, Iston,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You have another brother here?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes," Alfia nodded, her voice firm, "This is a matter of life and death. Can you take this more seriously?" This man was half-heartedly saying things without a care in mind. This was supposed to be a serious conversation. However, he was making itical.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"My bad. But that frown on your face isn''t helping." Keithughed. She was being too serious.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry." However, Keith quickly apologized.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, my brother was the one who caused all of this. It seems he views you as a threat." Alfia sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A threat? How am I a threat?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Alfia and Faelyn paused as they stared at him. Are you seriously asking this question?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Point taken," Keith didn''t say anything as he knew what they wanted to say. With all the damage he caused, it screamed nothing but a threat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But I don''t think-Wait, is it?" A thought urred to him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, it''s because of me," Alfia groaned. She continued, "Iston''s thoughts are what you expect. He thinks of elves as the superior race. And he, a prince, is above everyone. So me talking with you is a problem."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." A silence came after once she said this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s why I hate that man," Alfia''s expression turned dark.


    <span style="font-weight:400">This was a surprise. Keith had seen Alfia''s anger many times before. But this was something else. It was hatred that was ingrained in her bones.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s always there to try and ruin me. He says he does things in the name of "elves," but it''s really for his own personal gain." Alfia understood the backhandness Iston had! It was nothing more than a farce.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But then again, I''m powerless against him," A look of remorse was on Alfia''s face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Princess,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But it''s true. I can''t do anything to stop Iston. He has more power and influence than me." Alfia understood. Influence and power. All of it was something Iston had. Some elves followed her. However, it was nothingpared to the ones following Iston.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There was no way she could go against him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t count yourself out," Keith sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That type of person will not grow,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Faelyn and Alfia tilted their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You keep saying that you''re weak. However, I don''t think you''re weak." Keith chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How am I not weak?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith flicked her forehead, "Because you''re not."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey!" That didn''t answer her question.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re walking a different path than all the others."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"People can join others and follow the same path that was already built. Those types are a dime a dozen. But those who stray off to make their own path are the strongest." Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But I don''t have what Iston has."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So? Just because you don''t have what Iston has doesn''t mean you can''t match him."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alfia, don''t think of anything of that sort. Iston''s mindset is set in the past. There will be no growth. You have opened your mind to everything around you." If he had to choose between the two, Alfia would definitely be his choice.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And besides, you''re more beautiful than him. I''m sure there will be people who will follow you," Keithughed. There was a plus.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Alfia''s eyes widened when she heard that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh? What''s the matter?" He said it as a joke to ease the tension.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing, you can leave now."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is it really-gah!" Before Keith could say anything else, what he got was a fist to his stomach,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Just go!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sheesh, woman!" Keith rubbed his stomach as he walked away. However, Faelyn looked at Alfia,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Princess," There was a slight hesitation as she stared at her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing!" Alfia shook her head.
