Chương 11: Aurdis's Help
"What are you doing here?" asked Erend.
"Who's that, Drake?" Lt. Boartusk asked from within.
"Let me in." Aurdis looked to her right and left. "I have something important to talk to you about."
Without waiting for Erend's approval, Aurdis went straight into the room. Lt. Boartusk and Billy stared at the presence of another Elf girl before them, both confused and fascinated.
Aurdis' beauty is no longer a new thing for Erend. He admits that Aurdis is indeed very beautiful. But in Erend's eyes, she was still an Elf. A being who had brought war into their world.
Aurdis wears long white clothes. On the chest, the clothes are a little looser so that her already big chest looks even more prominent. Her flawless white skin also stands out.
Seeing the reaction of Lt. Bortusk and Billy, Erend believes that Aurdis must have chosen these clothes on purpose before coming here.
"Say what you intend to say and get out of here immediately," Erend said firmly.
"Uhhm, you don't need to be impolite, Erend," said Billy, stealing glances at Aurdis' chest.
"Lieutenant-"
Erend turned his gaze to Lt. Boartusk but the Lieutenant is in the same condition as Billy.
Erend feels helpless.
Aurdis sat on one of the chairs and then spoke. "I have to tell you this."
Again Erend noticed that Aurdis' lips moved differently from the sound that came out of them. But it seems that only Erend is aware of that.
"What's wrong... Uhm..." said Lt. Boartusk.
"Aurdis." Aurdis helped with a smile.
"Miss Aurdis," the lieutenant continued.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"After lunch, you'll fall for Aerchon's plans."
Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk widened their eyes in a surprised manner.
"So it's true that our invitation here was a trap," Erend muttered.
"Wait, but why did you warn us?" asked Billy.
"Before that, do you know why we send an attack on your world?" Aurdis looked at the three of them one by one.
"What do you mean?" asked Erend.
Suddenly the door burst open. Delirien stood in the doorway with a look on her face that immediately turned into a smile.
"Ah, my lady," said Delirien. "Why are you disturbing our guests?"
Then Delirien walked towards Aurdis and pulled her hand away. Almost forcibly.
"I just wanted to say hello to them, Delirien." Aurdis smiled and removed Delirien's hand from hers.
Then he shook the hands of Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk alternately.
After doing that she walked out together with Delirien.
Erend, Billy, and the Lieutenant stared at their hands. There was a small bottle with a blue liquid in their hand.
They have a rough idea about what to do with the bottle.

"What are you doing there, princess?" Delirien asked in a soft voice to Aurdis. Even so, her tone contained firmness.
"I told you, I just greeted them," replied Aurdis innocently.
"How do you know they arrived this morning? Does Prince Aerchon know about this?" Delirien asked.
Aurdis' eyes turned in another direction. As if to avoid her gaze.
Delirien could immediately conclude the answer. This princess must have overheard and sneaked in here.
Delirien already knew how the princess was behaving. But there was one thing that confused Delirien.
"Princess, there is something strange about one of them." Suddenly, Delirien changed the topic.
"What do you mean?" Aurdis asked.
"I can't use Magic to check on one of those men."
Aurdis immediately knew who he meant. However, Aurdis didn't want Delirien to suspect that she knew something.
So Aurdis just kept quiet while Delirien continued her suspicions.

Lunch is ready.
Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk were escorted out of their room into the lunchroom.
The food provided there seemed a little different from the food in their world.
The three sat together. Aerchon sat in the main seat indicating that he was the host who entertained them. In front of them were also several other Elves.
Lunch started. The elves tried to start a conversation with them but the three soldiers answered curtly. So the Elves also gave up their intentions.
Lunch continued in silence until it was over. After that, the humans were escorted back into the room.
Aerchon also said they are welcome if they want to see the scenery around the palace.
Inside the room, the three of them sat opposite each other.
"What do you guys feel?" asked Lt. Boartusk.
"Full," Billy replied.
"Bro!" Erend snapped.
"Sorry." Billy burped. "I don't think anything happened. Either way, we drank something Aurdis gave us, right?"
"Yeah, let's hope nothing happens," said Lt. Boartusk.
Erend hoped that the Elf girl really wanted to help them.
Lt. Boartusk and Billy decided to sleep because they couldn't do anything now either.
A soft mattress and cool air coupled with a full stomach make them both unable to resist sleepiness.
Erend once again hoped that it wasn't because of Elf Magic.
Not feeling sleepy, Erend decided to get out and walk around the palace.
"Psst!"
Erend turned to the source of the voice. Aurdis was peeking from behind the door of a room. She waved her hand at Erend, telling him to come in here.
With suspicion, Erend entered the room.
"What is it?" Erend asked.
"Our conversation was not over yet," replied Aurdis.
"Oh right," said Erend. "What did you want to say earlier?"
"We sent the Elves to invade your world for a reason," Aurdis said hastily.
Erend just stared at her.
"Something belonging to us was stolen by humans."
Hearing that, Erend gasped. "What does it mean?"
"Human stole a Key," said Aurdis.
Erend looked at Aurdis with narrowed eyes and sharp angled eyebrows.
His feelings are mixed now. Between surprise, doubt, and anxiety.
"Why should I believe you?" Erend replied.
Aurdis sighed. "I'm telling the truth!"
"I've seen how cunning the Elves are. Maybe this is one of your tricks." Erend folded his arms across his chest.
Aurdis gritted her teeth. "Tonight. I'll prove it."
Erend was still looking at Aurdis suspiciously. But he would wait until tonight.
