Chapter 85: Shadowy Love
Noah stirred awake after a deep, satisfying sleep.
The first thing his eyes met was Leona, standing silently by his bed, watching him.
He sighed quietly.
Even before being fully awake, he knew — something unfavorable must have happened.
He sat up, resting his back against the cold wall, gaze calm but wary.
"Leona, how have you been? I hope being with Elijah was… entertaining," he said, his voice still soft with sleep.
Leona bowed her head low.
"Master, I have been well. As for Elijah…"
A smirk played on her lips.
"I have good news for you."
Noah raised an eyebrow lazily.
"Good news? What a delightful surprise."
"But first," he added, voice gaining a little edge, "did he manage to kill that beast?"
Leona tilted her head slightly, not understanding why he asked that.
"No, Master. The beast managed to escape."
A simple, pleased smile formed on Noah's lips.
"Good."
He stretched his arms slightly, then leaned forward with interest.
