A Reality in Darkness

Julius saw that Erica had much different clothing than she is used to; she no longer wore a royal dress because she decided her life as an earl's wife was over. Even if she sees her husband again, she becomes frightened about the answer that Julius might give her. The demon hunter stood there like a statue and remained calm while Erica walked to him. She wanted to see with her own eyes if she saw a spirit or an actual person who has the same might and strength that Julius has. Of course, it would seem like neither Julius nor Lenora had any reason or any honor to be standing before Harald's wife.

"Julius, is that you?" Erica asked.

"I am here, Erica. I'm here to tell you some things before I leave again simply," he answered. But while he is standing there, Erica rushes to the demon hunter and wraps her arms around him.
