Chapter 43

As Nyx eases into a temporary rest within the watchtower, he reflects on the peculiar connection he feels with Norhana. Unbeknownst to him, the beast-like appearance has obscured Norhana's true gender. Nyx's assumption of a fraternal bond stems from the shared experiences and mutual trust formed on the battlefield.

Shortly after, Norhana starts to stir, her eyes fluttering open. She yawns and stretches, then notices Nyx. "Master, you're back. Sorry, I got really bored when you left, so I decided to take a nap, but I guess my nap became a sleep. I just hope the Arbortis clan didn't see me slacking, hehe."

Seeing Norhana's guilty appearance, Nyx chuckles and reassures her, "It's okay. Since you were still sleeping when I got here, which means the Arbortis soldiers didn't come here."
