After a few minutes of complete silence, Jason and Daphne watched as Kurt retracted his sharp gaze and hugged Vivian.

“Don't be scared,” he consoled in a tone much gentler than before.

That sudden transition formed such a huge contrast that he looked like a completely different person from earlier.

At that sight, Daphne, the Astorian woman, trembled again before she mustered the courage and asked in a shaky voice, “H-How do you know my name? A-Are you from Elysium too?”

“It doesn't matter who I am. You should be more worried about your own safety, Daphne. If you want to live, I suggest you destroy that face!” Kurt snarled as he fastened his eyes on her again, striking a greater fear into her heart.

“No... This face belongs to him!” the woman protested when she noticed him sweeping his sharp gaze toward her son.

“Is it really his, though? You're the former high priest of Elysium, yet you betrayed the tribe and stole the face of the king's son! Did you really think you could escape his clutches simply by hiding here?” Kurt questioned, narrowing his eyes.

After all, she has been cared for like a princess her entire life, so it's only natural for her to be traumatized after experiencing something so dangerous.
