Same threat

The way that the dark elves laid there in the cage was like they were puppets that had their strings cut.

With the way that they looked, it didn't seem like they would react to anything around them.

It even seemed like they would stop breathing at any moment, but at least for now, it seemed like they were still breathing. Though how long they would keep this up with the way that they looked was hard to tell.

After looking at them for a bit, the prime minister looked at me with a strange look.

I didn't have to ask him anything to know what he was implying with the way that he looked at me.

"Just what did you do to them that they're in this condition?"

I didn't say anything in response to this gaze, I didn't even look in his direction as I just focused on the dark elves inside of the cage.

I didn't think that they would be this despondent from just that alone…

After all, these were the dark elves that I hadn't even touched yet.
