"Who was that for?" Elliot asked, puzzled.
I glanced at him helplessly and said bluntly, "Were you distracted just now? Didn't that guy just say that the Bone Flute is used to summon schools of fish!"
Upon hearing this, Elliot's face turned red, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.
He bowed slightly toward me and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I indeed got distracted just now and missed that information!"
I nodded lightly, which was as much as accepting Elliot's explanation. His workload had been intense over the past few days; he probably hadn't had a good sleep, so it was normal for his mind to be a bit slow.
"Why don't you take a seat over there in the chair? You're not needed here for now," I said with a light sigh, my tone gentler.
Elliot clearly understood what I meant, nodded, and bowed before sitting down in the designated spot.
