"It is you who called here, Bernice Balliol Agnes," Erios said.
What? What did he just say?
"Youuuuu, reading my mind?" I stuttered, taking a step backward and hitting the rock-hard chest of Alexavier.
"Madam, what are you saying?" he asked.
"Can’t you hear what I’m saying? Can’t you hear Erios speaking?" I asked.
"No, and who is Erios? Madam, I don’t understand what you are saying. It is only and you are here. There are no Erios here," he said, making even more confused than I was.
"What are you saying? It is the Holy sword whose na is Erios. It can talk to . It is the one who told its na. Why are you acting as if you can’t hear it but only I?"
"Because I can’t hear anything. I only got to know when you said," he said.
I massaged my temple.
Gosh! Now my head is literally blasting. What on earth are these things happening?
"Bernice, as I said, you can only hear because you are my master."
"We are connected by blood."
"Blood? How? It is you who just observed my blood now, but you have been following till here by yourself when we were not even connected by blood," I asked.
"Bernice, do you think now is the only ti I have observed your blood?"
"Think carefully! When was the last ti you scread in pain asking for help?"
"Think and tell when was the last ti you have seen yourself drenched in blood trying to survive?"
I scread in pain? I was drenched in blood? However, no matter how much I think, I can only think of the ti when I was killed. Yeah, that was the ti I was begging for help. Yeah, that was the ti I was trying to survive even though I was drenched in my own blood. Then was that ti we were....
I looked at the sword.
"You have figured it out," Erios spoke again with a pleased voice.
"Why is it ? Why did you co to ? Why the hell didn’t you save if you were there? Why the hell didn’t you save when you called your master? Why didn’t you!!!!!!!" my voice got louder.
"Madam, what is going on? Is there sothing wrong?" I totally forgot that Alexavier is still here.
"Duke, can you excuse for a while?" I said looking at him.
"But-
"It would be better if you follow the contract rule." I know we didn’t even sign the contract paper, but still, I have a thought he sure will take the privacy term seriously.
"As you wish!", he said and left while I was left alone with this Holy sword Erios.
"Now tell , why didn’t you? Or did you just lie about saying you are not followed by the god but by ?" I asked.
"I’m a holy sword. And a holy sword never lies."
"The first thing I said was the truth. I don’t follow God. I don’t have a movent which is decided by God but by my master, which is you. But as you were reborn again, I was free from all the ties which were stopping from interacting with you," it said.
Ties? Was sothing holding on to him?
"Yes, I was locked by the god of fate," it said.
"God of fate?"
"Yes, the god of Fate is Moirai, who has all the authority to rule."
"He is the most punctual and dedicated god I have ever seen, but that was the day I saw the side which no one ever saw."
"When you were dying, I was summoned by you. Even though I have no idea how a re human who doesn’t have any magical power is able to summon , still I was there when those inhuman people were hitting you again and again with those sharp swords, piercing through your skin."
"Before I could do anything, you stopped breathing, but I connected with you as I was drenched with your blood."
"I tried so hard to save you, but that is when I was locked in those ties which made my power stop from flowing."
"It was the God of Fate who stopped ."
"He was so furious seeing stopping the flow of life which is why I was tied, but that could have never stopped as I was able to know the existence of yours once again. I was freed even though it was against the god. But no one can make stop as my contractor is still alive."
"Moirai?" I spoke.
"Yes, Moirai, be careful. The danger is still here. No, in clear words, the flow of life has continued so if you won’t be careful, the flow will continue once more, killing your life, and this ti the god will be the one to take your life to rectify the previous mistake."
So because of , the flow of life has changed? Is this being the Lunar god trying to tell I was assigned as the Holy knight and if I don’t do as he said I will be killed once more? Or is he the one of them who is after my life? No, no, I can’t just co to a conclusion until I reach an end.
"Yes, Bernice keeps moving forward. But slowly. Those gods are the most cunning ones from inside. From outside they can pretend to be gentle to their followers but inside they are nothing but monsters."
Yeah, I kind of guessed the mont I faced Lunar. Even the priests were saying that his na can’t be taken carelessly. Then I wonder what kind of nature Moirai holds. Does he have even bigger authority than Lunar? Or is he superior to Lunar from every perspective?
"Thanks for the warning, Erios." I finally smiled.
I really have a desire to pat this sword so badly.
"I can take human form as well, if my master wishes."
