Chapter 307: Rebuilding Grafen with Passion (End) Significant Progress
Lyan woke up feeling an intense sensation coursing through his lower half, stirring him from the depths of a pleasant dream. His eyes fluttered open, and he blinked against the morning light streaming through the high windows of his grand bed chamber. As his senses gradually returned, he looked down to see Raine, her white hair tumbling in soft waves around her face, and her mischievous smile that reached her eyes.
"Good morning, Lyan," she purred, her voice sultry as her hands and mouth continued their expert ministrations. "Did you sleep well?"
Lyan groaned, a mix of pleasure and surprise evident in his expression. "Raine... what a way to wake a man."
She giggled, the sound both innocent and alluring. "I thought you might enjoy a special wake-up call."
He reached down, his fingers threading through her hair, gently tugging her upward. Raine complied, moving up his body until her lips were inches from his. "You’re incorrigible," he whispered before capturing her mouth in a deep, lingering kiss.
When they finally broke apart, Raine’s eyes sparkled with mischief. "Only for you, Lyan."
With a playful swat to her backside, Lyan rolled out of bed, stretching his muscles as he moved toward the bath. "Join me?"
Raine’s smile widened. "I’d love to, but I promised Belle I’d help her with some new potion experiments this morning. Rain check?"
Lyan chuckled, shaking his head. "Fine, but you owe me."
Raine winked at him before slipping out of the room, leaving Lyan to his morning routine. He stepped into the spacious bath, the warm water instantly relaxing his muscles. As he leaned back, he couldn’t help but think about how far they had come.
A week had passed since they began their concerted effort to revitalize Grafen, and the progress was nothing short of remarkable. The city, once dilapidated and sparse with only 5000 residents, was steadily transforming. The repairs on the roads were well underway, thanks to the tireless work of his skeleton labor force, cleverly disguised with his illusion magic to avoid alarming the townsfolk. Public utilities such as water supply, sewage systems, and waste management facilities were being constructed according to Lyan’s designs, bringing modern conveniences to the town.
