Bab 159: Even for a moment [5/7]

The sun was already up when the door opened. It was Caelian. 

"Princess…" the man looked disheveled. But what made Elle's heart sink was the blood that had stained Caelian's white undershirt. There were even rips of his jacket. "I just came to confirm that you had not left the house. Well then –"

"Wait!" Elle looked at him worriedly. "What happened? They're okay, right? Abi and Alicia and Azy are fine, right?" 

Caelian hesitantly nodded. His expression was a little weird as he looked at her, unlike the usual carefree way he had been when he was with her the last time. "They are safe for now. So please don't worry. The problem has been solved and everyone's already settled down. I was ordered to tell you that you still can't leave the house today too. This is for your own safety."
