Chapter 567 – Greed 101
"I still don't get it…" Sira muttered, arms folding tighter. "How could he affect her? Dreams are Sloth's specialty. Their playground. Not Greed's."
Her brows furrowed, and Lux could tell she was piecing something together in her head. Sharp. Impatient.
Eros inhaled, finally stepping forward, voice quieter now. "Long time ago… Greed House used to be generous. To other Houses."
Lux gave him a look. "You mean leveraged generosity."
Eros nodded. "For connection. Influence. Favors. Greed 101. But… they didn't just work with Pride and Envy. They worked with Lust too. And… you know I was the Crown Prince of Lust, once."
"Still hard to believe," Sira muttered.
"Zoltarin used to give me some gifts," Eros continued, ignoring her. "Items. Charms. Mostly decorative. Safe, or so I thought."
Lux exhaled slowly and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Please don't tell me you used them all without checking enchantments. You do have a legal department, right?"
