Chapter 159: The Banquet and the Truth Behind the War
As the king of the elven race, his teacher carried immense responsibility.
Even though the Elven King wasn’t required to manage too many affairs personally, he still had to attend various important occasions.
As a result, every time his teacher had to leave the house, he would always wear an expression as though he were in unbearable pain.
His teacher once told him that forcing a shut-in to go out was like trying to make a sow climb a tree—utterly unreasonable.
He figured that Eoryun probably felt the same way.
From the corner of his eye, Illiya caught sight of Eoryun, who had visibly relaxed.
In his heart, Illiya understood that he had already accomplished half of his objective.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Illiya finally brought up the real reason for his approach.
"I barely managed to escape from all that, only to find you hiding in a corner without a care in the world. I have to say, I’m more than a little jealous. So now, out of pure jealousy, I’m going to drag you into the crowd. Everyone’s being surrounded and bombarded with small talk. As one of us, there’s no way you’re getting out of that."
