Chapter 697 – You Smuggled Caffeine into Heaven
Vizreel snapped his fingers.
Immediately, the air above the table shimmered. Constellation lights swirled together, forming floating trays that descended gracefully. Unlike the earlier meal, these contained darker tea blends, roasted celestial nuts dusted with star salt, and something that suspiciously smelled like… coffee.
Lux stared at it.
"…You smuggled caffeine into heaven?"
Vizreel shrugged. "Diplomatic privilege."
Lux grabbed the cup immediately. Took a long sip. His shoulders visibly relaxed.
"Archon," he said reverently, "I forgive you every time your slap almost killed me."
Vizreel smirked faintly. "Good."
Lux inhaled his drink like a man reunited with a lost lover.
Vizreel studied him carefully.
"You look better," the Archon said finally.
Lux paused. Lowered the cup slightly.
"I am better," he admitted.
Vizreel leaned back slightly, wings shifting, armor plates clicking softly.
