Chapter 57: King's Scheme III

Xiel's knee is still on the ground, he has been sobbing for 10 minutes now but with his younger brother's small hand patted him he finally calms down. Zed decides to stay in their house for a while.

"So Zed should we inform Ray about this?."

Hendrick stroked his chin.

"For now let's not because we don't know what will happen to both of them when we return to inn."

Zed reply calmly.

Zed is right, neither him nor Hendrick know what will happen to Xiel and Liel if he leave them both. They might get killed by the king's subordinate or worse, being tortured.

While on their way back to the inn, Ray and Bell sees someone being bullied. A young-looking elf has been surrounded by the other five strange looking Elf.

"Please, I don't help anything."

The elf kneeling on the ground.

"Huh? What did you say? You haven't paid our debts and want us to let you go?."

One of the strange-looking Elf talks while kicking the Elf on the ground.
