Chapter 843 An Agreement
After the surprising turn of events, the Fierce Lioness said, "I'll provide a room for you and your follower to rest," showing with a nod that Rebecca would show them the way.
With that, she left the room, her laughter still echoing behind her.
Once the door closed, Rebecca turned to Erik, her expression a mixture of admiration and concern.
"You risked a lot today."
"There were very low chances to know if my mother was going to react as she did."
What Rebecca didn't realize was that Erik had an advantage she was unaware of—his ability to read minds had made the encounter far less risky than it appeared.
However, Erik chose not to reveal this detail to her, as that could complicate things a lot, but was sure he was going to sooner or later. NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
For him, having the conversation with the Fierce Lioness had been easier than Rebecca could have imagined.
Rebecca sighed, the tension of the meeting leaving her shoulders. Just then, a butler escorted June to their room.
Rebecca's gaze settled on him with a complex mix of emotions flickering across her face.
On one hand, she recognized June's intelligence. Erik wouldn't keep him if he wasn't useful.
That, if she hadn't misinterpreted her friend. However, because of how they parted back in Testrovsc's Rest, she was keen on believing she was right.
Yet, on the other hand, June's childishness presented an unpredictable variable.
The knowledge that within this seemingly innocuous man lay the capability to transform into a black wyvern sent a shiver down her spine.
The thought of him, in a moment of childlike, impulsive or angry behavior, choosing to transform and unleash chaos, was a frightening prospect.
Her eyes, reflecting this whirlwind of thoughts, watched him with a cautious curiosity, wondering which side of him would prevail in the moments to come.
"Rest well," she said with a smile, then left the room, leaving Erik and June alone.
In the silence that followed, Erik pondered the day's events, grateful for the alliance they had formed with the Band of Giants.
Meanwhile, June continued to enjoy the jacuzzi.
However, it was June's turn to ask questions.
Erik paused for a second. He already checked the room to see if there were cameras or microphones, and of course, the room was full of it.
Erik jumped on the bed and turned to his side. He was going to talk to June telepathically, but wanted to make it look like he was going to sleep while June bathed.
June thought about it. It made sense, but only up to a certain point.
Erik's expression was a mask of contemplation.
But June still wasn't convinced.
Erik smiled at that question.
