Yuna was ready to leave, but was stopped by Tiny.

"Not choosing silence, Cyclone should be the top priority," Yuna impatiently said to the slow-moving Tiny.

"What do you want to say?"

"Tsk, before I say anything, you have to answer me a question first."

Upon hearing this, Yuna decided to ignore it and headed towards the door in big strides.

As she passed by Tiny, Tiny calmly said, "Think about it. Wouldn't it be faster for me to find you than for you to find me?"

"Phantom Tracking" is an ability Tiny gained when transforming his eyes into the eyes of a phantom dragon.

By tracing the specific locations a person has been to, one can trace their movements afterwards, seeing the residual image left by their departure.

With the power of the dragon, Tiny was able to track down Yuna directly.

So Yuna knew this very well, and Tiny's words indeed stopped her in her tracks.

But Tiny knew that Yuna was now impatient to go find her man.

The worry of a loved one possibly leaving does make one restless.

Tiny understood this well, as when hearing the news of Arrogance's death, Tiny also once considered ending their own life.

Tiny had a deep understanding of this feeling.

Walking towards the window, Tiny asked without facing Yuna, "I ask you... have you ever loved Klein, brother?"

Elyse was stunned, not expecting the young girl in front of her to ask such a question at this moment.

Although Elyse did not know who Klein was, but from the term "brother," he must be a man.

Yuna was married to Cyclone just like herself.

Being asked whether she still loved another man was indeed a difficult question to answer.

Of course, Yuna could choose to respond with a false answer to deceive Tiny and get help.

But being here herself, a false answer would also lead to misunderstandings.

"Of course, he was the first man who didn't mind my past."

While pondering, Yuna had already responded, a response that Elyse couldn't have imagined.

A woman who loved Cyclone with all her heart was now openly talking about her past feelings for someone else.

"Why do you still want to..."

What do you still want? The content of the second half is quite obvious.

You still want to choose Cyclone, become someone else's wife, and turn your back on Klein, who was once your lover. This was Tiny's question.

But halfway through, Tiny stopped and instead said with a smirk, "Hmph! This answer of yours, I really want that boy named Cyclone to hear it."

In the face of Tiny's sly smile, Yuna replied nonchalantly, "Cyclone knew a long time ago."

"..."

This time, not only Elyse, but even Tiny was stunned.

Finally, Yuna added another sentence to end the topic.

"Don't talk nonsense. You better not underestimate the man I chose."

This sentence left Tiny speechless.

Because the man Yuna liked, Klein, was the man Yuna chose.

Tiny would never underestimate Klein, because in Tiny's heart, Klein was the greatest demon man.

"Hmph!"

Unable to speak, Tiny could only snort and leave it at that.

"I've answered your question, now it's your turn."

Yuna tightly held the fox mask in her hand, staring at Tiny.

"Are you going to waste my time here, or help me find Cyclone?"

Tiny closed his eyes and thought deeply for a few seconds.

"You stay here, I'll find him for you."

With that, Tiny opened the window, turned into a black mist, and disappeared.

After Tiny left, Yuna still held onto the fox mask in her hand.

"Elyse, although Tiny is trustworthy, but I..."

Yuna glanced at Elyse, who simply nodded.

The two of them never fully agreed with each other, always enjoying arguing with each other.

Perhaps because of this, in this moment, this one nod was enough to convey their thoughts to each other's hearts.

Yuna put on the mask and jumped out towards the open window.
