“Erlos, why are you shouting?” she offered him a smile, “Please do not raise your voice like that. It is rude. Besides, I wonder what you are doing listening to a conversation between two women.”

Erlos was about to walk towards her but Ember looked at him as she shook her head lightly. Ember, despite being generally naive, realized now that this young lady seemed somewhat unhappy with her despite her smiling face.

As Erlos stopped, Isa looked back at Ember. “Oh, apologies. I hope you do not think badly of me. I am saying this only out of concern for you, Ember.

“I know we just met, but it is precisely because I am a stranger to you that I see things objectively. I am from the beast clan. All the males would consummate the bond once their intended female woke up. I am just concerned between you and His Majesty, since males wouldn’t have waited for this long,” Isa said as she glanced at the incomplete mark on her neck. “But from what I see, it’s more than two weeks since the marking yet you have not consummated the bond.”

“There is a reason—”

“Of course, there is a reason,” Isa interrupted her with a gaze full of pity, “and that reason is His Majesty doesn’t truly want to bond with a human.”

All the time, her expression had become so emotional, it was hard to decipher the true meaning of her words unless one truly knew her personality.

Ember could only wordlessly stare at her, and Isa used this chance to speak again.

“Well, I think I am saying something you already know. I apologize again. You, more than anyone, would know how His Majesty doesn’t have any feelings for you so obviously he would not want to consummate a bond,” she sighed, “But, His Majesty would be forced to fulfil his responsibility on the night of the full moon even if he doesn’t want to…”

Ember was maintaining her calm composure but she could not deny that Isa’s words were starting to affect her. Her pretty green eyes held venom in them as she pulled her hands back from the fox’s grasp.

The entire time, Isa acted as if she was ignorant about how offensive she sounded, causing Erlos to immediately intervene. He stood in front of Isa with Ember behind him.

“Isa,” he said in warning, “I am sure you would not like this to be known by His Majesty.”

The young fox maintained the same innocent smile on her pretty face. “You cannot stop meddling between women, can’t you? Why do you sound so indignant? I am just stating a fact to her so she won’t be disappointed later.”

“Facts? How can you say that when you don’t even know a thing?”

Erlos’ anger was rising, but just in time, someone landed at the balcony, breaking the tense atmosphere.
