Chapter 312.1
“Did you tame it?” Riner asked. “How?”
As soon as the priest had left them alone, his eyes had instantly turned to Eugene’s left wrist. It had made her feel strange to see his red eyes grow dark with aggression. He looked like a mad scientist on the verge of some great discovery. Eugene quickly covered her sleeve with her right hand as if to protect Kkoma.
“I didn’t tame him,” she told the Fire King. “He’s a lark.”
“Are you his owner?” he pressed.
Her eyes narrowed. “Of course not,” she said. “Only a king can own a lark.”
“So he’s a king’s lark?”
“He is.”
And, just like that, Riner’s expression changed completely. He went from looking like a completely mad man to a relatively sane one. If anything, he just looked disinterested now.
“A king’s lark,” he said as if he was contemplating. “I must say that it is odd for someone else to be charged with taking care of a king’s lark. And even stranger to see him so calm by your side.”
