After the journey back home, Lia felt tired and exhausted. She didn't wait for Noel to say anything and just opened the door to run to her bed. Only when she felt the familiar soft touch of her bed and blanket, did she feel at ease.
She still hasn't changed and reluctantly got off to take off her cloak and the weapons that emitted the green light signalling their intent to kill immortals. Suddenly, Lia regretted not having taken more of those weapons from the Z mansion.
The edge of the two knives glided across her skin and she decided she could trust Noel to give him one. She also had a sword that was hidden in the in her cloak. She was familiar with both types, so she would let Noel choose which one he preferred.
With that thought, she put the weapons away and fell asleep.
The next morning, Noel already sat at the kitchen table sipping on tea. Since the first night Lia has asked him if he wanted tea, he had to have at least a cup every day.
