The bracelet slowly crawled towards Kyle's wrist and, with a click, snugly settled itself around his wrist.
Instantly, a wisp of white smoke hissed out from its surface, causing the icy layer on Kyle's wrist to lt a little.
However, only after a minute, a faint cry pierced the room, and the bracelet was flung in a different direction. Countless tiny blue particles gathered around Kyle's wrist, and once again, a delicate layer of ice ford on his skin.
Another frustrated voice resonated from the bracelet as it crawled back towards the bed. Yet, the peculiar cycle repeated itself, and the bracelet was once again forcefully flung away from Kyle.
"This pesky... mortal!"
Once again, the bracelet crawled its way toward Kyle's wrist, but this ti it wasn't flung backward. Instead, the blue particles around Kyle's wrist seeped into its body, and a crack appeared on its surface.
"Fuck...??"
A loud curse filled the air, and this ti the bracelet distanced itself from Kyle on its own. The blue particles tightly clinging to Kyle's skin finally cald down and settled on his skin once again.
"No way... what's wrong with this bastard? Doesn't he know how much I've suffered under that dwarf for the past few years just to reach him again? I do want to eat his lifespan, but how am I going to enter his consciousness?"
After grumbling for a while, the bracelet tried once more, but once again, it failed. Nevertheless, the delicious treat right in front of it was too tempting to resist. And so, the cycle continued for a long ti... until the room door slowly creaked open and a beautiful figure stepped inside.
The bracelet next to Kyle's hand completely stilled as it watched the figure slowly approaching the bed.
Her amber eyes had a faint coral color in the center, and her hair flowed down in long, lustrous waves. The strands shimred in the soft light, like spun gold cascading over her shoulders. The attire she wore was crafted with intricate details and exquisite fabrics, almost as if she had just co from a grand occasion. It hugged her figure in a way that accentuated her grace and elegance.
And in her hand, she carried a silver crown adorned with delicate jewels that glimred in the dim light.
She sat down beside Kyle and looked at him with a faint smile.
"It's been a while, right?"
Yue humd softly and placed the crown beside Kyle. Her eyes were faintly red, but she didn't say anything for a while. She silently stared at his face.
"I rember...."
She raised her hand and touched Kyle's forehead. It felt cold, even colder than she rembered. Her finger slowly traveled to the tip of his nose.
"We have t before, haven't we? A long ti ago, when we were kids. It took a while, but I rember."
Once again, there was silence in the room, which was broken by a faint sob. She didn't want to cry, but she had experienced too much in such a short ti that it felt a little unbearable.
"I'm not crying! Okay... I know Alec and the others co here when they want to cry, but I'm not here for that!"
She wiped her eyes and looked at Kyle.
"I'm just here to see you."
After another pause, she started speaking again, trying to tell the man beside her that she had lost her father. The newly constructed elven Kingdom was nad after her father because he had sacrificed his life to defeat a powerful enemy.
"You know, Dad left behind sothing special... Those two porcelain bracelets, do you rember them? They were actually pieces of an artifact. He collected all the parts and left behind another divine artifact for ."
A tear trickled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.
"Now I have two divine artifacts... The first one was given to by my brother before his death."
"But they're not useful at all..."
More tears trickled down her cheeks, and she bent down to place her forehead above his.
"Now that mom and I are alone... the elves crowned as the new queen because the elven King died. Also, I just reached the (SSS )-Rank. You might be wondering how I did it when my talent was lower. It's because of the artifact Dad left behind. The artifact is a little bit different. It didn't give power. Instead, it summoned soone from a faraway place..."
She closed her eyes, and a few tears dropped onto Kyle's face. The layer of ice on his face cracked a little, and one of his fingers twitched slightly. However, the elf beside him had her eyes closed.
The bracelet, which had been observing everything from the sidelines, quietly leaped out and clung to Kyle's wrist the mont it noticed the small crack in his defenses. Yue raised her head slightly and let out a faint smile.
"Just look at crying beside you when I said I'm not here to cry."
She stood up and smoothed out the faint wrinkles in her clothes.
"I won't be able to co see you for a while. Maybe the others won't co as well. We have a lot of work to do. Don't be lonely."
"Ah... right, Bia, she also reached (SSS )-Rank recently. Now she has the authority of a monster lord. She wanted to co see you too, but as one of the guardians of the new continent nad Coexis, she has been staying around the border with your family to control the monsters, who, for so reason, have lost their minds."
She paused in her tracks and once again bent down to drop a fleeting kiss on his forehead.
"Ah... your skin is cold. Well, it's not like you will know."
Yue stepped back and left the room, wearing a faint smile. She had a lot of work to do, and after she was done, she had to leave for a faraway place with that woman who appeared after she activated the artifact.
