From Aetherius' palace, Beda could see the lights that were used to decorate the Elves' village. She was sure they were having a celebration for Celina's return.
She folded her coat and tossed it to the side. She has just returned from training with Aetherius, who sat there without any expression on his face.
"Did you know that girl is back?" Beda asked him.
"Why should I care?" He asked without sparing her a single glance.
"You should care. That bitch tore me to shred during the duel and you aren't going to pay her back! People see her as a god because she rescued those kidnapped creatures. Isn't that supposed to belong to you? The respect! The worship!"
Aetherius finally opened his eyes from where he was trying to catch a breath.
"Respect? Worship? I don't need any of that. Besides, if you want me to pay her back for ripping you to shred, shouldn't that be your job? Do you think you'll be able to beat her up like then?" Aetherius asked her.
