The Naiad King silently gazed upon Eiro, who had just calmly explained his situation to him.
"This is certainly quite... unusual," he pointed out, though Eiro felt that might be a bit of an understatement.
"You could say that, indeed," the demon responded, "But please, I do hope that you now understand I'm not a threat to you."
With a light scoff, the king shook his head, "I feel more threatened by your very existence now than when I heard you snuck into my wife's chambers and threatened her."
Eiro laughed lightly, "I just did what I had to in order to save my dearest friend."
"And if that had meant injuring or killing my men, would you have done so?"
Looking into the Naiad King's eyes, Eiro hesitated to respond. Not because he didn't know what the answer was, of course, but because he wasn't entirely sure if the king would be happy to hear what he had to say. However, seeing that hesitation, the king shook his head.
