Just then, everyone heard a snort from below . It wasn’t hard to tell it was from Bruzuryano .
Entos lifted his brow and stroked his chin . He blinked a few times, as if thinking, then nodded slowly .
"It seems like Lord Bruzuryano is upset," Anfey said slowly .
"It’s not hard to understand why . Druids are related to elves . I want to be related to elves too, but it seems that they do not like me," Entos said with a smirk . "Lord Bruzuryano, are you telling me that Hotchbini isn’t an easy opponent?"
Bruzuryano did not say anything . Instead, he slammed his window shut .
Entos sighed and shook his head . "The great druid, the Guardian of the Goddess of Nature, seems to think we aren’t worth his time . " Then, as if he had suddenly remembered something, he turned to Anfey and said, "By the way, you should go check on that girl . I heard her crying when I was coming up . "
"Really?" Anfey asked, frowning . Suzanna had always been strong, not only physically, but also emotionally . He had never seen Suzanna cry . She did not even cry after she had received severe injuries after killing the manticore . Why would she cry now?
"You better go talk to her," Entos said quietly . "Communication is the key to a healthy relationship . Or else you would…" Entos’s voice trailed off . He closed his eyes and shook his head .
Anfey did not understand Entos’s words, but Ernest did . He let out a long sigh and shook his head like Entos .
"Go ahead," Entos said, nudging Anfey on the shoulder . "I have to go . I have a new discovery . "
"New discovery? What is it?" Anfey asked . Entos had already disappeared, however, and Anfey did not know if he had heard him .
"Go," Ernest said . "I need some rest as well . "

Anfey hesitated when he saw the light peeking through the gap under the door . He took a deep breath, pushed open the door and walked inside . Usually, this was extremely rude, since the common courtesy was to knock and receive permission before entering . However, neither Anfey nor Suzanna cared much about common courtesy . They were close enough to consider themselves a single unit, so Anfey knew Suzanna wouldn’t mind .
Maybe it was because Suzanna was too preoccupied, or maybe it was because Anfey hadn’t announced himself, he went into the room just in time to see Suzanna wiping her eyes .
"Why don’t we go and explore the city?" Anfey asked as he walked over . He pretended not to see Suzanna wiping her face and focused his attention on a candle on the table .
"I’m a bit tired," Suzanna said . "I don’t want to move . Why aren’t you resting?"
"Can’t sleep," Anfey said . He snuffed out the candle and plunged the room into darkness . The only light source became the pale moonlight . "Suzanna, are you homesick?"
"Just a bit . "
"Just a bit?" Anfey asked, moving closer to her .
Suzanna nodded but did not say anything else .
"Come here," Anfey said, reaching over . He touched her cheeks gently and found his fingers wet . "Were you crying?"
"No," Suzanna said, turning her face away . "Anfey, what happened on the way? Why don’t I have any recollection of it? You were all looking at me weird, too . What happened?"
"Slanbrea tried to control you," Anfey said . "He let an angel possess you . " Anfey decided to tell Suzanna the truth . Entos was right . He could not keep the secret away from her forever . Sooner or later he would slip . It was better to tell Suzanna now than to hide it from her .
"What?" Suzanna frowned and asked .
"Don’t worry," Anfey said . "It’s all over . " Anfey caressed Suzanna’s tear-stained cheeks gently and smiled . "Did you just say you weren’t crying?"
"No, tell me," Suzanna said, backing away from Anfey’s hand . "Tell me exactly what happened . " She lost her memory of that time, which meant that the memories were traumatic and she had already suppressed them . Did she attack anyone during that time? She felt the question weighing down on her like a boulder .
"Slanbrea wanted to control you . Master Saul severely injured him . He was already dying anyway, so I took the opportunity and killed him . "
