Chapter 1134 – Lilith's Seduction [Part 1]
Lux slowly looked around. "This place is neat."
Lilith's smile widened. "You sound surprised."
"I expected… more ruins."
"Because I was imprisoned?"
"Because everyone ancient I meet lately comes with structural damage."
"Mm. I prepared better."
He glanced at her. "This is your real house?"
"Yes." She walked forward, shadow-silk trailing behind her like obedient smoke. "I built this in case I woke up someday. I needed a place to go."
Lux looked at the spotless furniture. The lit candles. The clean carpets. The fresh flowers arranged in a black vase near the entrance.
"I assumed this place existed long before I was born, but it doesn't look abandoned at all. No dust, no rot, no lonely old mansion smell. Someone has been taking care of it. Either that, or your house has better maintenance standards than most royal palaces I've visited so far."
"I have servants."
She snapped her fingers.
Shadows peeled away from the walls.
