"I'm back, Annie."
Liszt greeted the Phoenix Perch Parasol Tree Greater Elf, Annie, and from the mess of elf emotions, he sensed its desire—it wanted to be close to Leo.
It was a matter Liszt needed to address, so he responded with a reassuring emotion and waved his hand. All the Little Minor Elves immediately followed him, chattering as they returned to Thorn Castle.
"Jela, take them back to the Worm Room, I'll come to visit you there in a bit."
"Wow, whoever doesn't listen, Jela will beat them up!" Jela, upon receiving Liszt's instructions, immediately became aggressive again—proving that Jela had become one of Liszt's favored subordinates; otherwise, why wouldn't Liszt instruct another Greater Elf and choose it instead.
Liszt's actual intention was simply because Jela was more aggressive, and the intimidation of a bully always seemed stronger.
