Elias and Ayu stood silently, each of them immersed in their own thoughts while watching the car disappear from their sight. "If your grandmother was here, she'd be so happy to see those two getting along so well", it was Elias who broke the silence with a pair of teary eyes.
Ayu felt a warm feeling in her heart. "Isn't he too harsh on his little sister?"
Elias sighed. "Probably. But let's not forget that he had no choice but to act indifferent around her. Their connection must not be exposed until the right time."
"Do you think he knows that we know who he is?"
"I don't think so. After all, he grew up in a different country. Your grandmother and I are the only ones who originally served the Seie family. Now that she's gone and the secrets were passed on to you, we're the only ones who know."
Ayu nodded, remembering the confessions of her grandmother which was recorded in a tape. She was in London when she died but the tape made its way to her with the help of her grandmother's coworker and old friend, Elias. Lost in the distant memories of the past, Ayu didn't notice Elias on the phone assembling the escort envoy for the masters. He organized 12 professionally trained bodyguards in 2 separate vehicles. One sped ahead of the Sweptail while the other tailed behind it.
