In the end, Killian had no other choice but to agree with Chrysanthe's suggestion. He didn't want to get into an issue with the Unseelie King because of her. He supposed they could drop the young elf off in the next village or town and hope someone there would be willing to take care of her.
Ryn was thrilled to leave the destroyed elf village and follow her new master. Chrysanthe asked her if she had things she needed to bring with them, and the young elf nodded. She led them into her shabby home, filled with worn-out furniture and tattered belongings.
Ryn carefully packed her few possessions into a small bag, cherishing each item like a treasure. Her home looked deplorable and desolate, reflecting the hardships she had endured.
However, as she was packing her things, Killian spotted a familiar dagger Ryn was about to put in her bag. His hand immediately held her wrist, and he took the small blade from her hand.
