"I'm back~," Luka announced as he stepped through the door of his home, his voice carrying a light, almost musical lilt.
As always, his faithful personal maid was already there to greet him.
Serene gave a graceful curtsy, her smile radiant and her tone composed.
"Welcome home, Young Master."
Across the room, the ever-aloof Snow lounged comfortably on the couch, ears twitching slightly in acknowledgment.
"Glad to be back," Luka murmured, making his way toward the spacious kitchen with a relaxed pace.
He ran a hand through his hair, the day's fatigue starting to settle, though the faint smirk on his lips betrayed his satisfaction.
Serene followed closely, observing him with curiosity.
She couldn't help but notice the shift in his demeanor—
The subtle confidence in his posture, the glint of pride in his expression.
"You seem to be in quite the good mood today," Serene remarked, tilting her head slightly as she studied his back.
