CHAPTER 267

"I see. I was really curious, but if it's not appropriate to say so, I won't ask anymore," the elder Vilmon said after a few seconds of silence. The elder's words puzzled Andrew, as he was sure they would be more insistent.

Elder Vilmon noticing this smiled and asked, "Did you think we would force you?". Andrew noticing that the elder spoke more casually, also put politeness aside and replied with genuine surprise, "Honestly, yes."

Hearing Andrew's very honest answer, the elder Vilmon let out a laugh that surprised him and after a few seconds, when he had calmed down, spoke again, "Boy, do you know elven pride?".

Elder Vilmon's question confused Andrew. He couldn't understand the reason why he asked him that question when they were talking about a completely different subject.

The elder did not wait for Andrew to answer and continued, "We elves are a proud race, however, our pride is not the same as that of humans."
