The Dwarven King promised to take care of everything since he was the one that had been responsible for this mess in the first place.
But before we could discuss this any further, there was a knock on the door.
All of us froze when we heard this knock as we didn't expect anyone to disturb us.
But then a voice said, "Big brother, can I come in?"
It was Elsa.
She had been guided away by Kali earlier and he should have been keeping her busy while they discussed business.
So what was she doing here?
Still, it wasn't as if they had the time to slowly think about that since she was already here.
They quickly put away the things that were on the table before the Dwarven King said, "Come in."
The door opened and as expected, Elsa was standing outside.
As she looked into the room after the door opened, she couldn't help revealing a surprised look. After all, it was clear that she didn't expect us to be here as well.
She just gave a bow to us before moving over to stand in front of both me and the Dwarven King.
The two of us looked at each other, but it was clear by the looks in each other's eyes that neither of us knew what was happening.
So the Dwarven King cleared his throat and asked, "Little sister, what is..."
Before he could finish, Elsa suddenly gave a deep bow to both of us which caught us both off guard. Neither of us were able to say a word as we just stared at her in shock.
But in the end, we finally reacted and both stood up to help her get up.
The Dwarven King also said, "What are you..."
Once again, before he could finish, she cut him off by saying, "Please save him."
Both of us were once again caught off guard when we heard this.
Still, we didn't need to ask to know who she was talking about.
With a sigh, the Dwarven King asked, "Why are you doing this? You should know how he treated you, he's not worth you asking for forgiveness like this."
I just remained silent since I knew that this was a matter between the two of them, but there was a look of approval in my eyes.
I too had seen how he had treated her, so I would stand with the Dwarven King on this matter.
Elsa's body trembled a bit when she heard this and she remained silent for a bit after the Dwarven King's voice fell.
But in the end, she still said with a sigh, "You don't know him like I do..."
Both of us knitted our brows when we heard this.
This was the one thing that we had been worried about.
What would we be able to do if she still had feelings for him?
If she still did have feelings for him, it didn't matter what we did as she would still try to stand on his side.
As I was trying to figure out a tactful way to ask this question, the Dwarven King suddenly said, "What's wrong? Are you saying that you still have feelings for him even after the way that he treated you? Are you trying to say that you can save him?"
I couldn't help looking at him like he was crazy when I heard this.
There was clearly a much gentler way of putting this, but the way he was doing it was like he was stabbing a stake in her heart.
It was clear by the trembling of Elsa's body that she was affected by his words.
But then she said, "It would be a lie to say that I still had feelings for him, but there are things that you don't know."
We didn't doubt her words since we could hear the sincerity in them, but that just made us even more confused.
After all, what was she basing this on that she was so certain of this.
We couldn't help deeply knitting our brows after hearing this.
After a pause, the Dwarven King said, "What don't we know?"
We couldn't see her face since she was still bowing down, but we could tell what kind of expression she had based on the shaking in her voice as she spoke.
"In the middle of the night, I can hear the things that he says. It's clear that he's struggling with something that he can't deal with."
Both of us knitted our brows even more after hearing this.
It seemed that there really was a story behind this.
After all, the mumblings of a person in their sleep came from their subconscious. There was no way for them to lie about something like that.
And the fact that he was mumbling in his sleep meant that there was something bothering him.
But it was clear that the Dwarven King was more bothered by this than me.
He looked at me with a concerned look after a moment of silence. The way that he looked at me almost seemed like he was leaving this decision up to me.
I didn't say anything right away since this could be considered a big decision.
After a brief period of thinking, I gave a sigh and said, "As long as he doesn't go too far, I can step back as well."
The Dwarven King's face lit up when he heard this, but that look didn't last long.
I then said in a serious voice, "But if he shows no sign of remorse, there's no need for me to hold back. If he intends to hurt me or the people that I care about, I won't show any mercy."
The Dwarven King's expression stiffened when he heard this, but he gave a nod with a sigh as he said, "That's fair. It's already more than I should ask for."
At the same time Elsa stood up and said, "Thank you."
I couldn't help thinking that I really was too soft hearted at times.
But the looks on their faces...seemed like it was worth it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
