Kaio 'passed by' outside the room five times, but Yuling didn't come out. His initial smugness gradually faded with time.
It seems that even that aloof beauty of the elven race has fallen to the dust, just like me...
Ha, he'll definitely hate himself!
How does the purest elf, born from the sacred tree of elves and untouched by emotions, feel now being treated so harshly?
Will you cry?
It must have been very painful. After all, the count's methods were so cruel. How could that pampered elf prince possibly endure it?
No!
I'm not worried about him at all!
The intention was clearly to let these self-proclaimed extraordinary elves taste the despair they had once felt, but how...?
The thought that the count, who was all looks and no substance but was as stupid as a pig, would have the chance to touch the prince he had longed for his whole life made him feel incredibly stifled!
Finally, on the sixth time he passed by the room, he grinned and, with a slightly crazy, strange smile on his face, knocked on the count's door.
Even if there was a possibility that the count, whose good deed had been interrupted, would treat him even more cruelly, he did not hesitate or back down in the slightest.
"Knock knock knock!"
When a third person entered, the count quickly snapped out of his dazed state, which had been captivated by Yu Ling. After obtaining Yu Ling's consent with his eyes, he tugged at the tattered clothes he was wearing, which had been torn to shreds when Yu Ling had beaten him, and opened the door with the same fake noble smile as always.
"Keio? That's rare. It's actually you who took the initiative to contact me. What, are you jealous because of the arrival of the new elf?"
Yu Ling was hiding behind the curtain, concealing the fact that she was not hurt at all. She was a little surprised to hear the Earl speak so normally. If he had just said this earlier, why would he have been beaten up by her?
At the door, Keo saw the marks left on the count's body from the 'fierce resistance', tightened his grip on his back, and gave a forced chuckle.
“Your Excellency, you have a banquet to attend tomorrow. You shouldn’t be indulging yourself like this.”
"Ah, those hypocritical guys are much more cunning than I am behind the scenes. What I'm doing is nothing."
As usual, the count showed no respect for Kaio, and after a few words he tried to drag the dark elf into the house. But this time Kaio was very firm, and even though he kept smiling, he insisted that the count throw the elf out to recuperate.
"So, deep down, Kao really longs for my exclusive favor!"
After disgusting Kao, the Earl pushed Yu Ling, who had been 'dressed up' miserably for him, out of the room. Then, dragging his 'tired body' that needed rest, he closed the door.
"...You look really ugly!"
Having just saved the fallen elf, Kaio's eyes darted away, and with an awkward expression, he covered the handsome elf, whose eyes were filled with tears and who seemed as fragile as a broken object, with the blanket he had prepared.
Even though Keo's dark skin blushed with embarrassment, no one would notice. Seeing Yu Ling's current appearance, he finally understood why so many people were obsessed with capturing Pokémon.
That cheap Count, that good-for-nothing pig!
In reality, he didn't actually outshine the protagonist in the finale, and the count wasn't as incompetent as he claimed. In this wealthy country, he was second only to the emperor, a famous playboy, and the dream lover of noblewomen and naive girls.
When Yu Ling saw that Kaio's attitude towards the Earl wasn't good either, and that he even helped her, the 'enemy' who had kicked him out, her eyes lit up.
At this moment, it would be out of place if he didn't faint like those delicate little princesses!
The faint sobs of the purebred elf that had been uttering in Kaio's ears soon ceased. He felt a sudden heaviness in his chest as the elf, whose soul had been tainted by the mortal world and whose spirit had been extinguished, collapsed into his arms.
He's so light, his body is so soft, his face is so beautiful, I want to...
With his rich experience, the very thing that he used to hate the most suddenly came to mind.
Pshaw! What are you thinking?! I'm not that kind of elf!
Before he could mentally prepare himself, Kaio carried Yuling back to his room. Looking at the unconscious elf prince, he once again struggled with his inner turmoil.
In his mind, a little demon representing malice grinned and said: I will take revenge on him! I will torture him! I will make this elf taste the bitterness I suffered! That count's methods were quite good, hehehehe...
But then a little angel with hearts shining in his eyes, Xizi clutched her heart and said, "Why don't we put some medicine on him first? Hehe, how can you put clothes on while putting medicine on? Hehe..."
Keo shook his head, clearing the two unsettling thoughts from his mind. He circled the room a few times, still conflicted, before finally deciding to make his move. But just as he touched that exquisitely beautiful face, the elf happened to open its eyes.
"...Who are you?" Yu Ling's innocent expression was worthy of an Oscar. He scratched his forehead, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "And who am I? Where am I?"
These three questions left Kao completely bewildered.
"You don't remember? Do you recall what just happened?"
Yu Ling: "Yes!"
Then, seeing the complicated look in Keo's eyes, he added, "You were touching my face just now!"
Kao: ......
"That's not what I'm asking about. What about what happened before that?"
Yu Ling pondered for a long time, then shook her head and said, "I don't remember."
Kao: "Would you mind if I examined your body?"
Yu Ling shook her head, looking obedient.
When Keo examined the creature more closely and found that his touch no longer caused the germaphobic elf to have a stress response, he understood completely.
This delicate elf prince has probably lost his memory due to the Earl's... you know...
Keo fell silent. What to do? Was it still worthwhile to retaliate against someone who had lost their memory?
He didn't think the innocent elf would lie or deceive people, but he regretted bringing Yu Ling back to the Earl's side. He should have secretly kept her outside and taken revenge himself!
Yu Ling was held in the arms of the dark elf, who was ostensibly there to examine her body. She blinked her lifeless eyes, poked the elf's pointed ear, and whispered:
"I feel a little uncomfortable, and I feel really bad staying here. Can you take me away from here?"
Isn't it painful? All the firsts in every sense of the word in my elf life were over today, and I was tricked by myself, a dark elf, and ordinary humans everywhere. It's normal to want to escape.
