An Extra’s POV

Rey's eyes were wide in shock.

'W-what…?' He struggled to process the words that Aurora had just spat out.

'Abominable half-breed…?'

He took another look at Aurora's face, and what he saw wasn't an emotion synonymous to pity, kindness, or sadness. It wasn't anything warm and fuzzy that was synonymous with a happy reunion.

This was the opposite.

Aurora' tears were not for Esme, but for herself and her people. The look she gave Esme was that of disgust and slowly growing rage.

"A Half Elf… that looks like Older Sister…? How repulsive!"

Esme was so stunned by the response that Aurora gave that she fell silent. All the resolve and confidence that she had accumulated for this moment fizzled out almost instantly.

She just stood there, like a statue, and watched as Aurora uesed words to tear her to pieces.

"Isn't that a bit too far?" Rey finally spoke up, his brows raised in annoyance.

He didn't want to speak up, since both parties were Elves, and it was only right for family to sort things out themselves. However, he quickly changed his mind once he saw how Aurora treated Esme.

And more importantly… he noticed how hurt Esme looked.

'This bitch clearly doesn't see Esme as the same kind as her.' For the first time since the start of the conversation, Rey frowned.

"You stay out of this, filthy human. Our deal is complete, so you may be on your way." Aurora waved her hand and dismissed Rey with that gesture.

"You will leave this Half Elf here, though. I have some questions for her that are not the business of humans."

'What the hell…?' Rey's frown deepened.
