When morning came, Valerie wondered why she couldn't find Aur anywhere inside their residence.
Ali and Ari, who were always beside the Dragon Princess, naturally had not seen the Dragon Prince either.
"Lux, have you seen Aur?" Valerie asked the Half-Elf, who was eating the Elven Kingdom's special egg drop soup made from the eggs of a colorful bird that was said to put anyone to sleep after they heard its song.
The Half-Elf didn't reply right away as he recalled what happened several hours ago.
"No," Lux answered. "Maybe he had something to do and went to look for Piccoro."
Valerie, who thought that Lux's answer held some logic in it, didn't inquire any longer and ate alongside Ali and Ari.
Because she was too focused on her food, she failed to notice that the tips of Lux's ears had reddened quite a bit.
