 "Excuse me, sir, you'll have to wait in line." said a gentle-face boy, holding a board of customers' waitlist."Why do I have to wait in line? I see that table over there is free anyway," said a guy in a grey T-shirt and light blue jeans. A three-day-old beard and mustache covered his oblong face-shaped, making his dark brown Asian eyes and the whole complexion more intimidating."No, sir. We're cleaning it for the next customer whose name is on the list here," replied the boy while pointing to a clipboard in his hand. "You need to register your name and wait for me to call you when it's your turn. Just like those—"."Oy, so noisy. Why does a waiter here talk so much? Did he not get trained?" said the young guy in a similar facial structure as the one from before, but with a clear and smooth jawl

 Seeing Oswin's bloodshot eyes, Sean's fear increased tenfold, for he knew the elf king wasn't the all-talk type. He would surely do what he had said. And that was the least he wanted. To prevent a murder case from happening, Sean grabbed Oswin's wrist tightly, refusing to let go despite the pain in his hand."Let me go, servant. I'll deal with those scums. How dare they hurt you?" Oswin commanded, demanding Sean to let him go, but the latter shook his head vigorously and tightened his grip. Oswin could break free easily, but he didn't do it, for he was afraid the force would hurt the fragile human in front of him."Don't do it, Oswin. I'm okay," Sean said."How come you're okay? Look at your blood. It almost floods the entire room.""What's going on?" James

 "Mr. Sean?" Robert tried to bring his attention back to him."I-I can explain." He stammered as he turned his gaze from Oswin and back to the legal person."I believe you have nothing to explain, Mr. Sean.""B-but...I... he," he stammered, trying to find words to defend Oswin. He did not want the elf king to go to the police or court. The risks were high, and the consequences were severe. Oswin's identity would be exposed, and James would know the truth. He did not want to break the man's trust. James had always been taking care of him ever since he started working here. He did not want to return the gratitude with lies. But the question was... what should he say to save the situation?"Please listen to me first, Mr. Sean," Robert held up a hand, waking the

 The disappearance of Thomas and his sons remained a mystery to Sean and James. Oswin refused to say a word, no matter how hard he tried to grill him. He could not shake off the feeling that this whole thing involved Oswin's doing. But as stubborn as the elf king could be, he got nothing out of Oswin. Knowing it was useless no matter what, he decided to drop the subject. Besides, there were no murder cases that involved the trio for quite some time. It looked like what he had feared did not happen.The transfer of Thomas' restaurant's ownership to James took only two weeks. It was faster than anyone expected. In less than a month, he was swamped helping James manage two restaurants simultaneously. They thought they could do it, but in reality, it turned out to be more complicated than they had thought. They had no choice but to sell the old restaurant and used the money to renovate the new one

It did not allow him to see things clearly. He blinked several times, trying to regain his vision back, yet he lost another thing when it did.The sight that greeted his eyes made his lungs lose the ability to generate air. He forgot to breathe as he looked down at Oswin's pulchritudinous face, beautified by the long and silky blond hair that spread all over the white pillow, extendin
