Thud!
Jumping to the other corner of the room in reflex, Kyran glanced to the side with wide eyes.
'How did he get there? I didn't even sense him!'
Out of everyone in the Silverstar Pack, Kyran was developed by Rex to be their eyes and ears, especially with his gift in senses that are way stronger even when he was still a human. None of the others can even compare to his senses.
In his human form, his senses are still stronger than naturally born Werewolves.
Kyran can hear the sounds of an ant picking up a bug miles away, smelling the scent of a rotten corpse from tens of miles away, and also his sight is ten or more times stronger than an eagle that can see its prey from the sky vividly.
With this kind of sense, he can bypass many cloaking spells that can lessen one's presence.
As long as the spell is not erasing the sound, presence, or scent from their actions or bodies completely then he can still sense them. But the figure sitting in the corner with a wooden cane that looks like a staff in its hands is completely undetectable.
Even Kyran has a cold sweat running down the side of his face, finding this figure to be an anomaly.
Sitting in the corner of the room is a Dark Elf that is putting both of his hands stacked at the top of the cane, he's wearing a loose-fitting dark maroon robe with a black suit underneath. From the black lines around his face and his long silver hair, the figure should be really old.
But the most eye-catching feature the figure has is that his eyes are covered with a black blindfold.
From the looks of the Dark Elf, it seems he's blind.
Not only was Kyran surprised by the sudden appearance of the figure, but he also saw that Kendel is also surprised showing that he also doesn't realize this Dark Elf was here. The initial reaction is mostly honest, and Kyran believed that Kendel doesn't know if there's somebody here too.
Upon being gazed at by the two of them, the Dark Elf stood up from the small wooden chair.
'Did he realize that I'm here? I bet what he said earlier was directed at me, I'm too arrogant to think that nobody can sense me in this place. Some races have special abilities, maybe the Dark Elves have a powerful detection ability', Kyran thought before he tries to find a way to escape this place.
Creating a commotion is not the ideal way, he would be surrounded if that happened.
Putting on a light smile on his face, the Dark Elf then continues amidst Kyran wrecking his brain to get away from this situation, "I know you're angry that you're not allowed to fight, Kendel. But trust me, there's a reason for that..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKyran can breathe easily when he hears this, it seems the Dark Elf doesn't know he's here.
Feeling a bit relieved that the Dark Elf doesn't sense him, Kyran glances at Kendel with a meaningful look. Signaling to Kendel through his eyes to answer the Dark Elf before he becomes suspicious. "Yes, Uncle Isniu. I understand..."
The Dark Elf, Uncle Wisnu smiled gently before he walks closer and pat Kendel on the head.
"Now go outside and train, prepare as much as you can before your time to fight comes", Uncle Wisnu said before shoving Kendel outside, pushing him out of the door with a genuine smile on his face.
After pushing him outside, he closed the door and paused for a second.
With Kendel pushed outside Kyran was left alone with Uncle Isniu inside the small throne room, he held his breath not wanting Uncle Isniu to realize he was inside. Soon enough Uncle Isniu lifted his head a little while facing the door before going back to the small chair in the corner and sits there.
Stacking his hands at the top of the cane again, Uncle Isniu stayed in place without moving an inch.
Kyran hoped that Uncle Isniu would leave the room but it seems he has no intention of leaving the room, just like a guardian of the throne room or a statue that wouldn't take even a step outside of the throne room.
A minute passed and there's still no movement, 'I'll just slip through the door'
Nodding to himself, Kyran started to make his way to the door while minding his steps to not alert Uncle Isniu. Since he's a blind Dark Elf, his other senses should be very keen as that is just how disabled living creature works.
Just as he reached the door and intends to use his element to slip through, Kyran's body stiffens.
"I hope you and your Alpha doesn't have any bad intention for us, we're agreeing with Queen Shaneala's suggestion after all", Uncle Isniu suddenly said, showing that he knows Kyran is inside the room with him.
For someone like Kyran that is used to others being unable to sense him, this gives him chills.
But realizing that he's not a helpless creature even though he might be surrounded by the Dark Elves, Kyran glances back at Uncle Isniu slowly. Exposing a glimpse of his Werewolf form by showing his four sharp eyes, he then said, "As long as you don't tell our existence here, your race would be safe from us"
"Great, then we have no complications with each other", Uncle Isniu replied with a nod.
With that out of the way Kyran gazes back at the door before his body turns into darkness and slips through the door, he was not surprised by the fact that Uncle Isniu knows about him and Rex.
Kendel already told him that Queen Shanaela told them to avoid conflict with the Silverstar Pack.
Rex's bloodline is strong enough to make Queen Shanaela believe that he might just help humanity win the war and that alone forced her to warn the other lower-rank races to not make any bad blood with the Silverstar Pack.
A moment later, Kyran and Kendel went out again from the premises of the Great Tree.
"Give back my friends, I already told you everything I know about Queen Shanaela and our response to her suggestion", Kendel said, demanding Kyran to give back his friends that are swallowed by Kyran's darkness.
Upon hearing this, Kyran waves his hand and walks away. "Don't worry, they'll come back"
"What do you mean by that? Give me back my friends, you already promised me to do that!", Kendel exclaimed, fearing that Kyran wouldn't give back his friends or worst, he already killed the three of them.
But this makes Kyran chuckle lightly, "I didn't capture them, I just teleported them away"
"The three of them would definitely come back at most in an hour. Although you tried to kill me earlier, I'm not going to pursue that matter. But the next time you try to do that, you won't get this kind of treatment again", he added before he disappears into the shadow.
Although he's still reluctant to let Kyran go, he can't do anything to stop him.
With the disparity in their strength, it's clear that Kyran is in a way higher realm compared to himself, it would be a foolish move to try and stop Kyran or even try and attack him, especially when Kyran shows him mercy.

Meanwhile, inside Rex's new castle.
Adhara walks out of Gistella's room and closed the door shut lightly, she paused by the door and looks down for a brief second remembering what Gistella said to her earlier. Turns out it was a sickness of some sort that made Gistella like this, it was a side-effect.
Even though Gistella is reluctant to say, she finally told Adhara about the spell she just did.
Nightmare Negation that she cast on Rex lifted the nightmare inside his mind for a day and let him rest at ease, but that comes with a nasty side-effect of Gistella having the nightmare for three days straight and the nightmare is also amplified.
If she were to tell Rex about the side-effect, he wouldn't let her do that to him.
Knowing that she decided to hide the side-effect from Rex lest he would stop her from doing the spell. Of course, the nightmare wouldn't be about Rex's parents, but something way more painful for her than seeing her parents died in front of her eyes.
Due to that, Gistella was left in this weak and moony state.
Adhara was curious about the nightmare she was having to put her in such a state, but Gistella doesn't want to tell her and she doesn't try and forces her to tell. But still, this puts Adhara in a trance, she can't do anything substantial for Rex right now.
But as she was dwelling in her own thoughts, a voice called out from the side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRex saw her from the end of the hallway and approaches her, "Adhara!"
"Huh...? Rex?", Adhara glanced to the side before her eyes widen seeing Rex approaching her, it would be bad if he went inside Gistella's room and saw her in that state. Out of everything, he would be angry at Gistella for doing that.
Standing in front of her, Rex looks back at the door with a frown.
Despite the castle still new and there being some places that they haven't even visited yet, he can smell Gistella's scent coming from the room behind Adhara, "What were you doing in Gistella's room?"
"Uhmm... nothing important. What's wrong? Do you need me for something?", Adhara asks.
Although she was trying to remain calm, her body automatically moved slightly to the side as if she was trying to block Rex from going into the room. Rex looks at her with suspicion, but he has some matters that he needed to do and didn't think much of it.
With the help of Gistella, his mind is fresh again and he decided to tackle every problem he has.
"Yes, I need you to be in charge of the place for a moment. I need to do something", Rex replied before signaling to Adhara to follow him. Both of them walk side by side before they arrived at the Great Hall, Flunra is already inside waiting for them.
Just as they were heading to the Great Hall, Adhara suddenly remembered something.
Glancing at Rex with a worried look, she then asked, "Rex... I forgot to mention this, but Evelyn is still in the city we left her in. When you suddenly teleport to Ratmawati City, we fear that you would go berserk and forgot to bring her with us"
Upon hearing that, Rex's steps suddenly halted as his eyes widened in realization.
Shifting his eyes that contains surprise and shock mixed together toward Adhara, he now remembered that Evelyn is still in human territory. It's been more than a week and his mind are in a mess that he forgot about Evelyn.
'I thought that there was something missing, now I remember...', Rex thought with a hard frown.
Remembering the fact that Evelyn, his Luna is still in humanity's territory, his expression darkens as he picks up his pace toward the Great Hall. 'It would be foolish for them to do anything to Evelyn, I'm not worried but still I have to bring her here'
Arriving at the Great Hall where Flunra is already waiting for them, Rex approaches him instantly.
"Flunra, I want you and Kyran to go to the Great Barricade and ask Brigitta about Evelyn. Both of you will be my proxies there, don't be afraid to be ruthless if you need to be", Rex said with a grim tone, he's going to take Evelyn back no matter the cost.
Just as he said that Adhara walks into the Great Hall before her eyes widened.
It was not the fact that she saw Flunra already waiting there, but there was a weird red portal at the center of the Great Hall, splashing powerful red kingly energy that shade the entire air inside the Great Barricade red.
Looking at the two, she then asks, "What is that portal?"
"Oh, right... I'm going to do my first ascension. If I succeed, I'll get the Herald Mark that I can give to you as my Female Alpha. From the energy emitted by the portal, Flunra is worried that I might die in there and won't be able to clear the trial but I say I'm not easily killed"
