Draven simply looked at him, not getting affected by his flattery.
Erlos gulped and said, "Sire, I can explain. The act of theft is not acceptable. It's a despicable crime, right? Not only that, I was just enraged seeing how pitiful that human girl looked. I thought the attacker had assaulted her after seeing the condition of her torn dress that barely had anything left to cover her body—"
"Erlos!"
The displeased voice of their king had a tinge of anger, causing both elves to feel their bodies feel suffocation.
Erlos immediately kneeled on the floor, thinking he had pissed the King for real by calling him a thief and saying how he would punish the culprit.
