LATER THAT DAY!
It was now night-time in the Demon Academy, the various night lights illuminating the magnificent campus as a restless hush settling after the uproar of the day.
Most were still shocked at Albedo's beast defeating Celeste in public, and late night discussions were already happening across not just the Academy, but the entire Demon Kingdom about what that would mean for the future, especially since there was already a spot-light on Albedo due to his shenanigans with Lilian.
However, far from the crowded dormitories, Lilian was walking through the northern wing of the Academy, which was nearly deserted at this hour, only sparsely used by the night-owls looking for peace and quiet.
Tall windows of black crystal admitted thin strands of moonlight, silvering the obsidian floor. Her boots made only the faintest sound, a rhythmic echo that seemed to fall into step with her thoughts.
