Lucian didn’t answer her. He just gave a slight nod before he vanished from the room.
Iris couldn’t help but smile when she saw Lucian leave in such a way. Without lingering, she rushed to the door, eager to find Xavier and share what she heard from Lucian.
However, before she could reach the door, Xavier’s voice rang in her mind, ’Darling, please wait for me. I’ll speak with Lucian before he departs.’
Her steps halted as her smile slowly appeared, ’Oh... Alright. Take your time, Xavier,’ she replied in her mind. Then, she walks to their bedroom.

Meanwhile, atop the mountain peak behind his house, Xavier stood on a vast rock gazing toward the city of Willow Town.
The sky had darkened, leaving only the moon to illuminate the area. The night creatures’ voices echoed around the mountain, yet he paid them no heed. His mind was busy with the conversation he had just heard between Lucian and Iris.
He felt immense joy knowing about his engagement with Iris in the Middle Realm. However, something troubled him deeply; he suspected that Lucian hadn’t entirely revealed the truth to Iris.
Determined to find out, he resolved to speak with Lucian again, hoping to get a clear answer this time.
