"I wish to have permission to go out of the palace," Emelia pleaded again, but for the last time, he refused to let her out. There are reasons why he didn't allow her. It's due to her safety. It could be anytime when the enemy would strike and kidnap Emelia. "Fine, then I will find my own ways to get out of this place," Emelia turned her back, and as soon as she held the doorknob, she was stopped.
Having Emelia try and escape would make him look like a possessive owner who doesn't want his dog to leave his sight. As days continue to pass, the more Elliot thinks he had become more possessive of her. But this time, the reason he allowed her was because he made her cry.
When Air told him about that, for some reason, he felt bad. Elliot knew his words were harsh towards her, but then he didn't expect her to cry because of his words.
