Elyon likely noticed but decided to let Damien figure it out as a learning experience—or worse, for some twisted amusement.
Well, this complicated things. Since the "illegitimate son" nodded at his questions, it seemed his hearing was fine.
"Can you write?" Damien asked.
The "illegitimate son" shook his head.
Damien sighed. "Okay… is there any way we can figure out your name?"
The "illegitimate son" folded his arms, deep in thought.
"Maybe the name of something nearby?" Damien suggested.
Another shake of the head.
Damien was at a loss. This was going to be tricky.
What to do? Damien hadn't expected to stumble at the introduction stage.
"How about Master gives him a work name to use?" Lysander suggested.
Damien hesitated, but the "illegitimate son" eagerly nodded with a delighted expression.
"Wait, you're okay with that?" Damien asked, surprised.
