Alice felt that she had a lot to ask the person in front of her. she often pinches her own cheek only to feel that it was a reality. She also noticed that William seemed a little guilty whenever he answered her question
She was neither surprised nor afraid of the fact that there was another world within her. About the balance created by the elves and also the treaty with humans. William explained that nature will always be closely related to the existence of elves and this is nature will
He also explained that it is the duty of a human to always respect the elves because of their great role in the world's forests and also the balance of nature. Alice still didn't really understand about it until she remembered her mom
"So ... where is mom?" asked Alice. Somehow this chat about elves made her forget that someone owed an explanation as well. William cleared his throat which felt dry
"she's with Dylan now," he said. There is doubt in his words. Either hesitation to make Alice not panic or something. "What? That crazy person? " Alice said in a panic. William nodded, stunned to see the angry face of the woman in front of him
"How can? We have to find it now. I don't want to be an orphan” Alice stood up with a fist. William immediately grabbed Alice's body as he pulled her arm back to sit down. Somehow her words caught the attention
"Orphan?" asked William. He smiled for a moment then continued “she will be fine Alice. Your mom is not that weak, even though Dylan is not a match for her but hurting a Porta will make the elves lose their magic. Well at least it would be good if it happened to that bastard” William said. Alice breathed a sigh of relief for some reason her mind still couldn't calm down
"Why aren't you following him? And why don't you ask me? I'm afraid there's something happen to my mom William! " Alice slightly raised her voice. "Your mom told me to take care of you. She will meet with Maya after all this time since you were born. The incident where Maya and Dylan found you made the queen angry because they were not aware of your presence so far," William said. Alice struggled to hold back her tears
"Then who is this Dylan? Why do you and mom hate dealing with him so much?" said Alice. William shifted his scared gaze, Alice noticed the change in his expression. He always had a hard time seeing Alice's worried face
William struggled to regulate his emotions. "He is the son of the Elf Queen, Maya. Elf who likes to go in and out of the portal to protect the supply of rain for humans" he said. Alice could see that William was trying to grind his teeth. Now that she knew the fact that Dylan was a prince, she understood the domineering aura emanating from him. Alice hates always being intimidated
"Ah ... that's why he's so annoying" said Alice as she stood up to pick up the blanket on the bed. Suddenly she felt cold. She returned and say, "then .. why does he seem to hate me and mom? Is it a big mistake for an elf to live in the human world? ” she sat down again and opened the blanket to cover her body. William is seen taking a heavy breath
"Not because of that," he said. "then?" asked Alice. "You are Dylan's younger sister" William said, looking at the window which was wet with rain. Alice opened her mouth wide in disbelief at what she heard. Time seemed to stop and Alice pinched her hand to confirm that it was all a reality
"So ... mom .. and Dylan?" Alice still doesn't understand the family tree. Since childhood, she never questioned the existence of his biological father. Her mother only said that she was pregnant in a bad opportunity but to have her it is some a tremendous gift. Since then Alice never asked back. after all, she was quite happy with her life now without the figure of a father
William was still watching Alice's small face struggling to digest his words. He felt really sorry about something. "At least you are half-sibling, and you were born in the human world without anyone knowing" somehow William's words made Alice hold her blanket tight. Judging from William's expression and all that happens during these three days she realized that her birth was a disgrace to the elves. Somehow the puzzled in her mind seems to wrap up a little
"So ... my father .." said Alice, looking at William's face.
"Yes, your father is an Elf king. The great Avery, king of elves "
