Chapter 105 – Aurealis, Capital of the Upper Realm [Part 2]

It wasn't obvious—not to the average celestial passing by, nodding politely or sipping holy green tea under hovering shade-umbrellas. But she saw it. The tiny glances.

The barely-there curl of his lips when he caught a glimpse of someone playing a harp in the middle of a floating park. The way he straightened his back—not out of pride, but wonder.

Lux always carried himself like the underworld's CFO. High-ranking diplomat of greed and chaos. Measured. Slick. Dangerous with a smile.
Now?
He just looked…
Curious.
