Elora shrugged nonchalantly in response to Viljar's question. "Two reasons. Firstly, because I don't trust you as much as Erik does. I won't try to convince him to keep you here by force, but neither will I help you if you don't.
As for the second reason…" she suddenly looked a little awkward. "Erik has just reunited with you, and I want to give him the chance to spend some time with you."
Viljar's eyes twitched a little upon hearing Elora's words. "Couldn't I just come back here after I warn Frostfang? It's not like I don't want to spend some time with Erik either!"
But unfortunately, Elora waved her hand dismissively. "No deal. As I said, I don't trust you yet. Besides, there's no guarantee this third-rank Runebound, Frostfang, won't follow you back here."
Not really able to refute her words, frustration passed across Viljar's face as he glanced at Erik almost pleadingly, hoping he would say something to the fairy.
Hey guys! I'd like to experiment with a change in my daily uploads. Instead of a single chapter with 1500-1600 words, I'll try two chapters with 1000-1100 words each. That's already 500-600 more words a day, and I'll try to ramp up the words per chapter in the future.
If you have any thoughts about this change or anything else to do with my novel, please let me know. I'm always happy to receive feedback.
