Naturally, when the door opened, every gaze swung toward the newcomers. Azriel's did too. He watched them enter and banked the surprise that flashed through his mind.
Clothed in finery only noble ladies could afford, two beautiful women stepped in—women Azriel knew. The one with long silver hair: Celestina. The one with long blonde hair: Liliane.
'I forgot Lumine had a harem that included them in the book…' Not Veronica or Ranni—Liliane and Celestina. Hell, the two of them—along with Yelena—were main characters.
They were even more beautiful than when he'd last seen them. Azriel wasn't blind; objectively, they were stunning. Now, their beauty seemed sharpened. 'Both are advanced.' It made sense. Undergoing [Soul Rebirth] had refined them, just as Lumine himself had become objectively handsome. The higher one climbed, the more inhumanly perfect the face became.
A few maids and butlers followed them inside.
