After meeting the elves, Yumo was deeply moved by the bond between the Black Rose and the elven race. Once the elven attendants greeted her in the garden, their Black Rose friends quickly pulled them aside for a chat.
Soon, Prince Odom appeared before Yumo, arm in arm with Xiao, both of them sharing light-hearted banter, much to Yumo's delight.
"It seems that Xiao indeed made some good friends~" Yumo mused to herself.
However, after a brief ten-minute chat and expressing her gratitude to the elves, Yumo's brows furrowed in thought.
'Something seems... off...'
She had seen the Elven Prince in the cave earlier and he was full of life....
'Why... now? He seems completely drained and tired?'
To say he looked like he was at death's door wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Are you okay, Prince Odom? You seem quite down."
