“Agreed Then second?”
“Shelly’s hallucination Due to being i his mental state is unstable If that’s the case, then the cure is easier”
“I have a feeling it’s not that simple”
“Not just a feeling, Ellen” The knight raised an eyebrow, “So that concerns ain his freedoold’ ”
“In that cause… tiht, “If the length or aht think it was impossible and refuse to help”
“What happens after four year? I don’t think Duke Elmond would be such an honorable person as to uphold his end of the bargain”
“Right, the duke would never let go of such a ready source of money” The elf replied with certainty, “But if he breaks his promise, Shelly wouldn’t continue to obey him”
“That proves that he has ample confidence, that within four years’ tiht said darkly, “That can’t be done just by persuasion though”
“Drugs?”
“Or soht revealed his conclusion, with obvious disgust, “De his soul, then have the demon control his body to continue activity – I fear that is what that blood ic circle is for”

“No buts, don’t worry” Seeing the elf’s troubled expression, he reached his hand out to pat his head impulsively
“…Cain,” the elf said helplessly, “did you mistake me for Shelly?”
The knight laughed unapologetically, “You don’t look much older than hie by appearance, but… how to say this… most of the time it’s just so habitually that I just accidentally –“
The elf looked at hi in common sense?”
“Don’t be overly harsh on yourself,” the knight replied holding back a laugh, “At most it’s naivety, I think it’s very cute”

“Are you asking about 300 years ago or now?”
“Eh!?”
“There was soe” The elf nodded re expressionless, “Due to a certain reason I slept for about 300 years –But before that I was 123 years old”
