Richard stood frozen in his spot. He felt that Erin was angry with him. Was it because he tried to save Henry? Looking at the magician lying on the ground, who was trying to stand up at the moment, he felt like killing him. If he knew earlier how Erin would react, he would have let her kill that guy. Though it would be a loss, it wouldn"t be as bad as offending Erin."Haa. Go and take care of your wounds. I still need you to make the formation." Feeling a bit resigned, Richard turned around to leave, too. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Anna"s silhouette. It seemed that she just came there.
"Anna, go and check on Erin. She plans to leave the castle now." He said. Maybe if he let Anna talk to Erin, the situation might still become better.
Anna was startled. Her master wanted to leave the castle? She looked around and saw Henry just standing up, his right hand covering a wound on his waist. Just looking at that, Anna already had some idea of what had happened.
"Yes, my Lord." She bowed to Richard. Turning around, she left for Erin"s room. She could feel her master there.

Erin rummaged through her clothes and took out those bought from the human city. She put all of them in a bag and started to undress. Now she needed something more comfortable for going out in the forest. The best attire for that would be... She took out leather clothes and dressed in them. Just before she turned to leave, she looked at the mirror and saw the necklace on her neck.
"That necklace..." Erin wasn"t sure what to do with it. Finally, she untangled it and put it back on the table. After taking what was left from her breakfast earlier, she walked to the window.
It was still gloomy outside. A mist was spreading out everywhere. She could barely see fifty meters forward in that mist. But if a normal person looked, they wouldn"t be able to see even two meters away from them.

"Hmm, the window is big enough." Erin opened up the window. Wings grew back from her back and she spread them out. With a slight jump, she flew out from the window.
"Wow. Flying like that isn"t bad." Erin smiled and flapped her wings strongly a few more times to ascend to a new height. Even though everything was shrouded in the mist, she could still see the top of the trees in the forest. The scene was just mesmerizing.
Erin"s eyes brightened looking at that. She never expected to be able to fly one day. It was good that she remembered her last awakening. "My last transformation..." Her mood became bad. Her last awakening was when Lyse was injured. She had only bad memories from back then.
"Master!" Erin turned around after she heard that shout. Anna was flying towards her. She stopped in her tracks and waited for Anna.
"What is it?" Once Anna came close, Erin asked. She was a bit annoyed that someone followed her.
"Master, can I follow you too?" Anna asked. The worry in her eyes was evident. She felt Erin"s mood and wanted to help her.
"No! Go back!" Erin turned around and started to flap her wings again while frowning.
"Master! Don"t forget that I am your servant! If you don"t let me follow you, who can follow you then?" Anna panicked. She bit her lips and felt the blood in her mouth. "Master, please allow me to follow you! I promise I will do everything you ask from me! Any task you give me will be finished! I can make food, shelter, anything, I"m just begging that you don"t leave me behind! I don"t want to be discarded like that!" Her eyes became teary. She felt like Erin was leaving her behind. Even though she liked to tease her, she still loved her master. Even if Erin asked for her life now, she would give it without hesitation!
"Anna? What are you talking about? I"m not leaving you behind. I just want to be alone for some time." Erin stopped in the air, a bit astonished from Anna"s reaction. "I will come back soon, don"t worry about me. Just wait for me back in the castle." She said, with the most sincere expression she could give.
"Is it because of our Lord? Did you have a fight with him? Master, our Lord loves you! He would never hurt you! I"m sure if you talk to him, everything will be clear and he will make a compromise for you! Whatever it is, he would never want to hurt you! Even though he never said it, I can see that! You are the first person that he is so close to! He never smiled or joked with others before! It"s all because he met you, master!" Anna"s words left her mouth one after another, she didn"t even realize what she was saying. The only thing she wanted at the moment is to not separate from Erin.
"Wh" Erin"s whole face became red. She covered her face with her hands, not willing to look at Anna. "Our Lord loves you!" Those words repeated in her mind time and time again. She just wanted to cover herself with something and hide. Even though she knew that Richard had some feelings for her, she wasn"t sure how strong those feelings were.
"Anna, stop! It"s not because of that! I know that he, he...will never hurt me!" Erin waved her hands, a bit panicked, trying to stop Anna from saying more.
" You don"t need to tell me that! Please, go back to the castle! I want to be alone for some time in the forest. I have to clear my mind and get used to the new changes in my body, that"s all!" Erin found an excuse for the moment, though it was the truth, too. She had to clear her mind from all of the things that happened so far. If she stayed in the castle, Erin felt that she would become even more depressed and lose her mind at the end!
"Now, go back!" Her words now were a clear command, that couldn"t be ignored.
Anna"s face distorted. She tried to open her mouth and say something else, to change her master"s mind, but in the end, she couldn"t. "Master, please be safe and return soon. I will be waiting for you." She thought to herself. The pitiful maid finally turned around and started flying back to the castle. Her shoulders drooped and her face looked teary.
A few minutes later, Anna got back to the castle. She saw Seth waiting for her in the distance. Somehow, she got irritated looking at him. Her flying speed increased and she landed just in front of him. "You, come with me!" Grabbing his hand, she started to drag him away from his spot.
"Wh" Seth was startled. He didn"t resist her dragging and followed behind. "What are you doing here?" Finding his voice, he asked.
"We are going to spar." Anna"s eyes blazed with fury for a moment, but in the next moment, they were back to normal.
"Spar?!" Seth was confused. Did Anna want to spar with him now? "What"s going on here?! Who made her so angry?" Even though he wasn"t sure what had happened, but he could feel Anna"s fury. "And why is she going to unleash her fury on me? How did I deserve that?" He felt gloomy about that. "I am going to find the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who made her so angry and torture him to death! Making me into a dummy for Anna?! It seems like he is tired of living!" The only thing he could do is to redirect his rage to the person who made Anna that angry.
