Chương 292: Chapter 292 - Denied

"Why do you ask?" Eira wondered, clearly curious what brought on this sudden interest in her non-existent mother.

'She's clearly clueless… but how much should I tell her?' he wondered inwardly. 'On the one hand, if that voice really did belong to Audumla, than there's a good chance that Eira will find out about this eventually and probably feel betrayed if I don't tell her now. On the other hand, if I tell her, she might ask me to reestablish a connection, and I'll have to refuse. For obvious reasons.'

Seeing Erik lost in thought, Eira cocked her head to the side in curiosity, "Master? Are you alright?"

This caught Erik's attention, his eyebrow raising in surprise. "You're calling me 'Master' now? Not 'Harbinger'? Or even my name?"

Eira shrugged and explained with a bright smile, "Why not? You asked me to stop calling you Harbinger, and since I serve as your armor now, it only makes sense!"
