Meanwhile, outside the sacred pond, the elf prince leaned against one of the massive roots of the Tree of Life.
He looked toward the pond. Then he looked down at his reflection in the clear water.
His face was bright red. He covered his eyes with one hand.
"What was he thinking?"
He was referring to the Elder. A short while earlier, the Elder had personally spoken to him. The old man was a special guest of the Elven Kingdom. Because of that, the Elder had given him an unusual request.
"Keep an eye on our guest at all times."
The elf prince had been confused.
The Elder had even given him a strange grin before adding, "If possible, accompany him while he bathes. Make sure nothing happens to him."
At the time, the elf prince had simply stared at the Elder.
Accompany him while he bathes?
Why?
