Eren paused in his meal, his attention fully focused on Sirius. He straightened up in his chair and stroked his chin, contemplating the situation.
"Hmm, that is indeed a valid concern. While I'm not afraid of Demonmir, I would prefer to avoid any collateral damage. So, how much time do I have? Negotiating with Layos is likely to be even more difficult than with Edinburgh," Eren inquired.
Sirius raised his right hand, displaying a victory sign with his fingers as he responded, "You have approximately two years, give or take. That's the time frame Demonmir needs to match your success in Hex Artifact creation."
Eren chuckled upon hearing Sirius' answer.
"That's more than enough. I only need one year to get rid of that bastard," Eren replied, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "You should head back now, Sirius. This meal is on me," Eren added before returning to his food.
