Chapter 52 - 52: Are you sure, Director?
"Don't you feel anything about it, young master?"
Upon hearing Erik's indifferent response, Seraphina couldn't help but ask, a bit concerned, as she attentively watched her young master, who casually replied while continuing to review his notes.
"Not really; I've never thought it was anything special. I also killed many animals on the island for food and leather; it's more or less the same."
"I see..." Seraphina murmured softly, a meaningful look in her eyes. But at that moment, Erik turned to her and asked with a smile.
"Do you have another question?"
"A couple more, young master. But first, I'd like to know: for what reason would you kill another human being?" After nodding her head, Seraphina asked seriously, staring directly into Erik's eyes.
"You can only kill another human in self-defense. In any other way, it's immoral and, in the long run, will harm your mind," Erik responded with a proud and slightly amused expression, almost like a child correctly repeating a lesson they'd learned.
"That's a relief, young master."
Seraphina smiled a little at Erik's answer, mentally noting that she would delve deeper into it at a later date. But first, she decided to ask one more thing. If it were as she imagined, she would need to take immediate action.
"One last thing, young master. How did you manage to avoid the knight's final attack?"
"I was able to do it thanks to a trick I've been working on recently. I call it 'overdrive,'" Erik responded with a smile, while Ebonique, who had been watching Seraphina closely from the start, closed her eyes and rested on the starry-haired contractor's head.
