Round Two (1)

Elliot was frozen in his seat after hearing the news. He waited for the girls to say that everything was just a joke and the Aurora Knights had an argument with each other instead.

But what he waited for didn't come. Instead, the mood got even more intense.

"Mr. Elliot, are you okay?" Christina asked. "We know it's a shock, but it is what it is. Elizabeth wasn't in her guild when the attack happened. She was devastated after hearing the news."

"Does anyone know why?" Was the first thing Elliot asked after he regained his composure. "Who or what did it?"

"No," Florencia frowned. "Elizabeth was heartbroken when this incident happened about a month ago. The kingdom wanted to keep this as a secret so no news broke out. If this was on the headlines, the entire kingdom would be in a state of panic."
