"Teach me!" Astoria immediately exclaimed, jumping up to Damien and tugging on his sleeve.
"Calm down, calm down," Damien urged as he shook her off.
"I'm not just planning to teach you, I'm going to accept you as a proper disciple. Do you understand what that means? My status in your life will be no less than your father's, and my words and ideals will be reflected in you in the future. You are still young and have plenty of time to decide on your path, so do not rashly make a decision because of my demonstration."
Despite his eagerness to teach her, he needed her to know what it meant to accept him as a master.
He wasn't going to say something like she could never have another master in this life, as such practices were extremely outdated, but during their time together, he definitely wouldn't take it easy.
He wouldn't treat her as a "little sister," but as a "disciple."
Astoria nodded her head in understanding.
