Kapitel 203: A Simple Request

"That's a lot…" Yovan murmured, his face lost in thought as he looked at Einar, as if recalculating everything about her.

"Wait a second, did my ears deceive me, or did you really just say 'Daughter of House Larven'?" Sam, the clueless one, asked the obvious question. Though Damian himself was curious about why she revealed it, she could have just said "son" and no one would have questioned her.

"You've got to be kidding me… For real? All those late, distant baths…" Ah, Yovan's brain was short-circuiting too.

"I'm sorry, guys. I didn't want to deceive you, but I was afraid to reveal my gender. I lived on my own in Pyron, and whenever I did… it just didn't go well…" Einar said, her face clouded with the weight of past memories.

"Stay here.. The beastmen are here, I should go," Damian said, stepping towards the exit. He gave Einar one last glance, and she quietly nodded.
