Chapter 268 - Coming out [2/2]

"Master!" a happy and excited Emma exclaimed, before turning around and glomping Erik into a hug. Despite her previous confidence, the observant under them still noticed a hint of relief in her actions.

It was no different for the others, however. They all looked relieved. Even Emily. Although her relief looked a little more hesitant, as she was still getting used to this whole 'having admitted her feelings' thing.

Alice even jumped in and hugged both Emma and Erik with a content smile. The young girl had been growing much closer to Emma over the last few weeks, and she had also started missing Erik due to his long absences.

Eira also looked happy, but mostly because things didn't come to blows. She already knew Erik was fine. In fact, rather than celebrate, she was sticking out her tongue towards Emily and Astrid, as if to taunt them with the fact that she had been speaking the truth after all.
