"Lilou."
Lilou raised her head at the person entering the prison dungeon of an old estate in Whistlebird. She smiled brightly as soon as she met those pairs of crimson orbs.
"Lexx, you're back?" she asked happily, springing up to his feet and rushed towards him.
Stefan chuckled as he welcomed her warmly in his embrace. "I'm just away for a few days and yet, you're acting like I was away for a year."
"Can you blame me?" Lilou complained as she broke free from him, looking up while pouting. "Lord Anton and his son Arthur are annoying fellows. I was planning to smother them in their sleep."
"Calm down, sweetheart." He chuckled while patting her head.
