บท 251: Chapter 251 - The beginnings of trust

Eira lost a little of her momentum with Erik's demand. She looked a little sad and unsure about what to do. If she did as he asked, she would essentially be defenseless against him. Her face showed some struggle, as she simply never had to deal with this kind of distrust before.

"Trust will come, huh…" she mumbled softly. "Do you promise? Because I… want a friend I can trust, and who trusts me…"

Erik nodded slowly and seriously. "I also want that, Eira."

"Alright, prove it," Eira suddenly demanded. "You say you'll give me a proof of trust in return for me shutting down the sigils, then I want yours first."
