Chapter 43: I will Find her
Lilith stepped into her office, the familiar scent of old parchment and incense lingering in the air. She moved to her seat and sat down with a soft sigh—until a sudden chill ran down her spine.
Her smile faded.
Something felt... off.
She stood up abruptly, her eyes scanning the room with sharp intuition. The air around her shimmered faintly. And then—
She felt it.
A presence. Familiar. Powerful. Unmistakable.
Lilith relaxed slightly, letting her guard drop, and turned around with a smile tugging at her lips.
"Well, what a surprise... to what do I owe the honor, Queen Mother?"
Behind her stood a woman of striking resemblance—tall, graceful, with long silver hair and eyes like moonlight. Her aura exuded elegance and authority, matured over centuries.
The woman turned, arms open wide. Without waiting, she pulled Lilith into a warm, dramatic embrace.
"Ahhh! What, I can’t even come visit my daughter anymore? How rude! I’m heartbroken, truly!"
