Eiro slowly stepped through the front door of his manor. He had been silent the whole way back from the royal castle. It was an exhausting night, painfully so.
He might have managed to unseal everyone's memories to find out more information of what happened last year, but with that, he found out so many more horrible things. Things that he really never wanted to know, even if Eiro had an inkling that something was off.
Merlin despised people as a whole, but still hated Eiro because of the way that he acted. He didn't act like a 'Monster' at all, after all. At least not most of the time. Why would someone want to act like a monster? That was just a horrific thought for him in the first place. And the fact that Merlin acted so worried for Eiro's children the first time they met... It disgusted Eiro.
Well, that was a chapter with a bit more melancholic emotions in the first half... Hope it was enjoyable anyway, though!
I hope you'll check out my new novel "Starlight Necromancer!"
