An Extra’s POV

An Angel.

That was the best way to describe the person he was currently looking at.

She had long black hair that sharply contrasted her pale skin. Her blue eyes looked like the ocean—or maybe the most precious kind of sapphire.

She wore a black gown that was decorated with traces of blue embroidery.

A precious necklace hung around her neck, gleaming with colors that matched her gem-like eyes.

She looked absolutely majestic as she walked closer, though her aloof face made her seem more like a sculpted statue than a kind presence.

'It's her? There's… no way! S-she's gorgeous!'

Rey could barely recognize the girl as the Half-Elf he had saved the other day.

Sure, they shared certain features, but this girl was beautiful—too beautiful.

She was the prettiest person he had ever seen.

'I think only Seraph is prettier. What the hell?!'

As her beauty captivated him, Rey felt increasingly grateful for the mask he had on his face.

He was certain he was currently gawking at her like an idiot.

After taking a few steps away from the closed door, the pretty maiden stopped dead in her tracks and looked just like a statue.

She said nothing, made no gestures, and Rey didn't even see her blink.

She just… stood there.

"She hasn't uttered a single word since she woke up. I don't know why, but perhaps you do, Sir Ralyks."

As Aldred's words broke the silence, Rey found himself gently nodding his head.

He was too deep in thought to reply.

'Didn't she have short hair when I saw her? She's grown her hair out already? And what's with the quality of that skin?'

Even though he healed her back then, she was still dirty. He wasn't able to see past all the grime.

But now… she looked like a brand new person.

'Looks like it was the right call to bring her here. These people really took care of her.' Rey slowly removed his gaze from the beauty.

It was hard, but his willpower was enough to save him from her entrapping gaze.

"Sorry for abruptly placing her under your care without informing you. You did an excellent job taking care of her."

"Haha! What are you saying? This much is nothing, Sir Ralyks."

As expected, Aldred tried to be as generous to him as possible. While Rey appreciated the gesture, he knew he had to press on even further.

"I'm serious. How can I compensate you for your troubles?"

In response to Rey's question, it seemed Aldred wanted to say something.

However, he quickly decided against it and shook his head.

"There's no need for compensation, Sir Ralyks. Our relationship runs a lot deeper for you this small gesture to warrant compensation."

The moment Rey heard this, he sighed internally.

He knew there was something the man was hiding, but it wasn't like he could force Aldred to speak his mind.

"Very well then."
