Aurdis widened her blue eyes. Her lips slightly parted. The Magic pressure she felt was not just a tiny pressure.

So Aurdis immediately closed the door. After that, she walked closer to Aerchon.

Although the Magic pressure is great, it's not the kind of Magic pressure that will paralyze her.

The Magic just came out of Aerchon's body who was doing something with his power. It's not something he meant to do to let his power overwhelm like that.

It wasn't the Magic he used to attack. So Aurdis didn't feel the painful pressure.

Its, the Magic was emitting with such high intensity that it surprised her.

The closer Aurdis stepped, the clearer she saw her brother.

Aerchon closed his eyes and he don't wear his white shirt. It was rarely done by him.

Even by the other Elves. They are always reluctant to expose their body unless they are on a special occasion or doing a very important thing.

"(What is he doing?)" Aurdis wondered with a frown.

But Aurdis couldn't walk too close because of Arondite.

The sword with immense Magic power floated around Aerchon while giving off a bright silver light.

As if acting as a bodyguard that secures the smooth running of whatever Aerchon is doing.

Aurdis knew that Aerchon was meditating. But for what reason did he do it?

Usually, he only meditated when he wanted to strengthen his Magic power.

However, Aerchon's Magic power was strong enough.

Based on all the Magic pressure that was coming out of his body, Aurdis was sure that Aerchon was indeed strengthening his Magic.

Once again Aurdis asked herself. Why did he do that? Does he want to do something?

However, Aurdis was glad because it meant Aerchon was doing something and had a goal. That way he won't kill himself.

Aurdis sighed. As soon as she saw that her brother was fine, she decided to leave Aerchon's room.

Leaving Aerchon with whatever he was doing.

But when Aurdis was almost at the door, Aerchon's voice called out to her.

"(Wait.)"

Aurdis was slightly taken aback. She turned and saw that Aerchon still had his eyes closed.

But not long after, Aerchon opened his eyes.

For a moment, Aurdis noticed that the bluish color in her brother's eyes seemed much brighter than usual.

A moment later Aerchon's eyes dimmed again to their usual blue color.

"(You called me?)" Aurdis asked.

"(Yes. Since you're already here. We better talk,)" Aerchon said.

Hearing his words, Aurdis canceled her intention to leave.

She walked over and put a chair in front of Aerchon and sat down in front of him.

"(What do you want to talk about?)" Aurdis asked.

"(You first. Why are you here?)" Aerchon asked back. His tone was still as cold and sharp as ever.

"(I thought you killed yourself,)" said Aurdis. "(Everyone says that you rarely come out of your room.)"

"(So you're worried about me?)"

Aurdis sighed. "(Of course. Even though you are selfish, arrogant, and stubborn. And how much I hate you, you are still my brother.)"

For a glance, Aurdis seemed to see that Aerchon had a regretful look on his face. There was also a glint of sadness in his eyes.

The sight that only glimpsed made Aurdis feel shocked.

But she also wasn't sure if she really saw it, or if it was just an illusion of her hopes.

"(I'm just doing meditation to strengthen my Magic again,)" answered Aerchon. Now the cold look on his face was back.

'Turns out it was just an illusion,' thought Aurdis.

"(Good to know,)" said Aurdis. "(But it's even better if you come out and help us clean up the mess in the palace.)"

Aerchon turned his head towards the window which was tightly closed by curtains.

"(How bad?)" Aerchon asked.

"(You're still asking? Have you forgotten what happened?)" Aurdis said in an annoyed tone.

She thought that Aerchon would snap back at her like he always did before.

But to her surprise, Aerchon just snorted and smiled faintly.

"(You're right. It was a big mess,)" Aerchon said.

Aurdis was slightly taken aback by her response. But she immediately turned back to a more important topic.

"(If you already know, you can come out of the room and help us.)"

Aurdis stood up from the chair and walked towards the door. Aerchon let her out and he just kept silent.

Everything Aerchon wanted to say suddenly disappeared. He realized that he had made many mistakes up to this point.

And the mistake of his sister is one of the biggest mistakes he had done.

Aerchon got off his bed and tucked Arondite into its sheath. Then he headed to prepare to come out of the room.

When Aurdis had reached outside, she frowned.

Aurdis was still confused by Aerchon's attitude that she had seen earlier.

What was that all about? Even though he still spoke with a cold tone and gaze, Aerchon didn't snap at her anymore when she said things that usually irritated him.

'Did that event make him change?'

Aurdis walked while thinking about that.

If that's what actually happened, wouldn't that be a good thing?

'Maybe he's realized that he's a jerk and stupid Elf all along.'

Aurdis snorted with a small smile.

'I can't get my hopes up. Aerchon's nature has been like that since birth. How could he possibly change in just a moment?'

Aurdis shook her head.

Yes, she shouldn't get her hopes up. Or she will just be disappointed when she sees Aerchon's annoying and stupid nature again.

Aurdis walked towards Saeldir's room to discuss what they should do.

She did not forget to order the servant to bring food to Saeldir's room for fear that Saeldir might forget to eat again.

When she finally arrived at Saeldir's room, she entered without knocking.

Saeldir was already at his usual desk and was reading a book again.

"(I found something interesting,)" Saeldir said as soon as Aurdis came inside.

He seemed to have been waiting for Aurdis' arrival.

"(What's that?)"

"(A clue.)"
