Chapter 131: VOL 2 - 76: A very dangerous gamble.
After sitting down at the table, Erik began to eat with a voracious appetite, devouring everything on the table at great speed, which slightly angered the wolves, who were still in their puppy forms. They started slapping Erik's legs, demanding food, since he hadn't shared a single bite with them since he started eating, leaving them to only eat from their own plates—a total lack of consideration.
Feeling the pressure on his legs, Erik turned to look at the wolves, who were sitting on the floor, wagging their tails enthusiastically and barking cutely at him. They had plates with small mountains of half-eaten meat beside them, which inevitably made him smile in amusement. Accepting defeat in silence, he began to share his food with them as he ate.
"Thank you for breakfast, Seraphina, as always, it was delicious."
When Erik finished eating, he thanked Seraphina as usual and stretched with a satisfied expression on his face. At that moment, he felt the presence of his masters approaching from behind, prompting him to turn and look at them with a calm expression, greeting them with a smile, though internally, he prepared himself for what was to come.
"Good morning, masters."
"Good morning, Erik, how did you wake up today?"
Eleonora greeted him with a smile as she sat down across from Erik, followed closely by Sigrún, who sat down without saying a word and with her gaze lowered, almost as if ignoring Erik. He inevitably took this as a bad sign and quickly began to strategize his next actions if the worst outcome became a reality, though his expression didn't change in the slightest, maintaining a small smile as he casually responded.
"I didn't actually wake up, I didn't even sleep, hehe"
"That's not good. You're still very young, and at your level of power, lack of sleep can have long-term consequences."
With a hint of concern in her voice, Eleonora commented while looking at Erik's slightly red eyes. Meanwhile, Seraphina cleared the table with whips of darkness and then walked toward the interior of the ship, intending to give the trio of masters and disciple some privacy—a thought that Ignis and Ebonique shared, as they quickly disappeared in flashes of blue flames and black lightning.
"I know, it's just that I got too excited developing a spell and lost track of time."
