Volume 5 Chapter 74: Let’s Have A Talk

As Keith stretched his hands back and forth, he smiled. Good, it's not affecting me anymore. It had been a few days since he got the wound. It did affect him for the first day.

"But you have gotten used to it, right?" Keith turned his head to a grinning Carolyn.

"That was what you were thinking, right?"

"...I don't know what you're talking about."

"...Really?" Carolyn got close to Keith and stared into his eyes. Keith returned with a gaze of his own, "I'm telling the truth." Carolyn sighed, "Fine." She continued to walk forward.

"..." Thank goodness. Keith didn't show it but was wiping the sweat off his face! It was too close. This girl knew too much about him; even the simplest things would catch her eye. She had been asking questions these few days. When the two entered class,

"Good morning, Alfia!" Keith waved his hand to the elf. However,

"..."

"Hmm?" Alfia didn't respond to him. She looked away from him.

Strange. Keith sat in front of her, "Is there something wrong?"

"..." No response. Alfia looked away from him.

Eh? Keith turned to Carolyn. The latter shook her head; she didn't know what was wrong either.

...

Okay? What happened? When they headed to lunch, Keith called Alfia and Faelyn again. But the latter nodded and walked away from him.

"What did you do to her?" Everyone turned to Keith. It had to be something he did to cause Alfia to be like this. But the guy shook his head.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"I didn't do anything to her." Besides teasing her, Keith didn't cause her any trouble. He was clueless.

"I think she might be angry?" Keith shrugged his shoulders. That was the only guess.

...

"Princess, do we really have to do this?" Faelyn sighed as she stared at Alfia. She didn't see it. But she heard about the argument she had with her brother.

"I can't stop." I can't let Keith get hurt because of him anymore. She understood what kind of dirty-handed tactics Iston would use. And there was no way Keith was going to get away scot-free. The last one almost left him at death's door.

That was why she had to be away from Keith. She didn't want anything to happen to him. However,

"Alfia!" When the two turned around, they saw Keith there. She was surprised. Why was he here?! Before Keith could say anything, the girl started to run away!

"..." Keith and Faelyn blinked. But that started the chase; Keith ran after her!

"Come on! You can't run away from me!" "Stop following me!"

"Not unless we have a talk!" Keith shouted. The two continued this game of cat and mouse for some time before it stopped.

"How are you this fast?" The first person to be out of breath was Alfia. Keith looked too unfazed. That caused Keith to laugh,

"That's because I work out a lot. Now, let's have a talk."

"Stay away from me!"

"Eh? Why so?"

"Because you're a human!"

"Really?" Keith tilted his head.

"Yes! You're a dirty stinking-" Before Alfia could finish her words, Keith smacked her in the head!

"Ow!" Alfia grabbed her head.

"Don't say things you don't really mean," Keith scowled. He could tell the girl was only saying it with a faint heart.

"If you really thought I was dirty human, you wouldn't have left your spirits on my island," Elves revered spirits. For her to leave the spirits on the island meant she trusted him.

"..."

"How about you tell me what's the matter?" It was clear that she knew something he didn't.

"..." Alfia continued to be silent.

"Princess, you should tell him," Faelyn interjected. She didn't want this to go on.

"...." Alfia took a deep sigh, "We shouldn't talk about it here. Let's go somewhere else." This conversation shouldn't be done out in the open.

"Sure," Keith smiled. The three went to a calm area, free from prying eyes.

"Keith, remember the attacks that happened to you?"

"Yeah, the elves who attacked you and me."

"Wait! Princess! You were attacked?!" Faelyn jumped in. This was the first time she had heard about this!

"..." Alfia clutched her head, "Keith, you're too much of a loudmouth." How could he reveal something like that right now?!

"Ehehe," Keith scratched his head, "My bad."

"..." Alfia's expression dropped. However, she took a sigh and explained, "I know who was the one who caused this,"
