After who knows how long, Elias emerged from his room, looking like he'd been through a war.
Stepping out, he seemed completely transformed from the man who had entered.
Despite finally defeating his adversary and gripping victory tightly, the victory came at a great cost.
Gone... everything was gone.
It turned out to be a punishment, a horrific one at that!
But it wasn't like this last time...
Maybe Elias really underestimated the mix of "resentment" and "affection" she had accumulated from the capital to here, almost causing a disaster.
Their clash was fierce and chaotic, ending with both of them passing out and only waking up the next day.
After a shower, Elias wandered into the hotel's living room and slumped onto the long couch.
Olivia had reserved the entire luxury hotel, and Elias caught Professor Isabella by the fireplace, experimenting with some odd culinary creation, with Luna looking on curiously.
