Erik looked down at Anne's surprisingly lively, light-green eyes with a curiously cocked eyebrow. He genuinely hadn't expected a request like that, nor had he expected Anne to behave like this.
This was neither the angry Anne he'd met first, nor the withdrawn Anne she became in his service. This was a far more lively, playful, and even seductive Anne. But… he realised this Anne was actually closest to the one he'd seen in the memories of her youth, before hunters killed her parents.
This realisation made him smile. He softly caressed this lean Norse beauty's platinum blond hair and nodded indulgently, also glancing at a curious Nora. "Alright, Anne… I think the two of you have earned that right."
As his two cute servants instantly became excited, an amused Erik turned to his bond with Elora. "I'm sure my beloved Empress would be willing to help me with this, right?"
