"Danacus is certainly no idiot," Pannis said, narrowing his eyes. "However, he won't take back the Divine Power from me. He can only wait for me to come to him, then try to kill me personally."
"Why are you so sure?" Flare's hand shook slightly as she held her teacup, looking straight into Pannis's eyes as she asked in a deep voice, "Kyle, this is a very important question. If there's anything I don't know about, you'd better not hide it from me. That way, I can help us all fulfill Nellie's wish. You should understand that if I were just representing myself, I wouldn't ask any further after what you said. But now it's different; if I'm to propose this at the high council meeting, then I represent the entire Elf race, and without sufficient reason, I wouldn't make such a proposal."
"It's hard to explain to you," Pannis sighed and said with difficulty: "This is a tacit understanding between her and me."
