Chapter 620 – Greed Takes, Lust Enjoys
Lux laughed quietly, shaking his head.
Then… he stopped.
The smile faded, just a little. And his voice dipped low.
"I just…" He looked out over the ballroom, but not really seeing it. "I feel like I have to do well. That I owe it."
Asmo tilted his head. "To who?"
"Everyone." Lux shrugged. "Mom. Dad. You. Seredor. Greed. Lust. The Court. The Hell. It's like… if I stop for too long, everything unravels. The balance tips. The deals fall apart. And I'm back to being the unwanted bloodline again."
Asmo was quiet.
Then he reached over and slapped the back of Lux's head.
Hard.
"Ow—!"
"You're not unwanted," Asmo snapped. "You're just a perfectionist with infernal trauma."
"Thanks, that's comforting."
