Chapter 490
“It’s broken...”
“Yes...”
Luna stared blankly at the axe in my hand. The handle had snapped in the middle.
“Son?”
“Could you please not call me that...”
I suddenly understood why Luna detested being called “Mother.” It felt incredibly strange. Of course, just like I had done, Luna didn’t pay any particular attention to it.
“Rijaiera is not a place with abundant resources. Do you know how precious a single axe or pickaxe is?”
“I’m sorry...”
I was getting scolded.
Almost being killed by Luna had been a bizarre experience. Luna had tried to kill me because she believed the continued existence of the Demon King would eventually pose a great threat to Ellen and eventually cost her her life. Fast forward two years later, though, and I was being scolded by Luna for breaking an axe handle, while I stood there, bowing my head and apologizing as if I had committed a grave sin.
What was going on? What sort of situation was I in? It made my mind spin.
