"Su Xuan," Niru approached quietly, her gaze holding a hint of curiosity. "Why did you come here with Princess Alina?"
Su Xuan's gaze shifted from Paslo and Princess Alina, who were talking inside the wooden cabin, to Niru. "At someone's request."
"Was it the Elf Queen?" Niru asked softly, her voice seemingly tinged with complex emotions.
"Yes," Su Xuan answered frankly, with no intention of hiding it from Niru.
Hearing this, Niru lowered her head slightly. Her deep, dark purple eyes seemed to be veiled in a thin mist as if she were lost in thought.
"Do you all… still resent the Elf Queen?" Su Xuan asked Niru with some concern.
"Resentment?"
Niru mulled it over for a moment before shaking her head. Her tone was somewhat cold as she replied, "More than hatred, we're confused. Why would she cast us aside so cruelly after using us?"
"Is that what you all think? But the truth might not be what it seems." Su Xuan's brow furrowed upon hearing Niru's words.
