Chapter 28 - Bloodbound Vigor
Atlas led the way through the bustling city streets, heading straight for their first stop: a hotel. He was eager to finally experience the luxury accommodations he’d only ever heard about. And with the credits they’d been given, why not enjoy a bit of comfort?
Honestly, he’d once considered vacationing here. Who would’ve thought he’d end up arriving as a Lord, summoned into this life by force? Still, even if this wasn’t a holiday, there was no harm in enjoying the moment.
As they moved through the city, he noticed the steady stream of eyes following them.
It wasn’t because they looked strange. No. Atlas knew the real reason.
Morganna and Lyrassa.
He sighed. By any standard, their beauty was extraordinary. The kind that turned heads without trying. It was like watching celebrities stroll through the city, and if this had been anywhere else, somewhere wilder than Veylamar. They probably would’ve been swarmed.
Here, people just watched from a distance. That, at least, was manageable.
Arriving at a high-end hotel, Atlas noted the steep prices but didn’t hesitate. With plenty of funds on hand, it was worth the expense.
At the counter, he booked a large suite. The ideal five-room setup was already taken, but he secured a six-bedroom suite, even better. Keeping the team close would make coordination easier.
They stepped into a grand elevator, its transparent walls offering a view of the lobby below. A mix of waterfalls, indoor greenery, and elegant lounge spaces greeted them. A quiet, polished welcome to the city.
Atlas noticed Karian glancing around, his eyes quietly scanning the polished marble floors, the shimmering lights, the floating displays. There was a curiosity in his gaze.
