Chapter 177: Seeing Lucius Drake.
"I’m simply amazed by you—the things you can do leave me speechless. Do you want to try again?"
Blushing, Salviana nodded. "Yes, I have you here." Her words made him smile, and even Jean couldn’t help but swoon.
"I want to see Lucius Drake," Salviana declared with renewed determination. A tense silence followed as she froze, her focus sharpening.
"Where is the coffin?" Jean asked softly.
"It’s... dark and lonely," Salviana said hesitantly, her words measured. "It’s in a tomb."
Jean’s eyes brightened with hope. "You’re doing well. Maybe try to see where the tomb is—"
"Ruins," Salviana interrupted, her voice firmer. "It’s in ruins."
Jean’s breath hitched. "Is he alive?"
Salviana’s gaze snapped to Jean, her expression intense. "Of course not," she said with a no-nonsense tone, her eyes bloodshot.
Jean recoiled slightly, surprised by the outburst.
"Salviana," Alaric called softly, pulling her attention back to him. His black eyes held hers with a steady calm. "Are you all right?"
