We left Lilith's office feeling the weight of the day's work slowly dissipating. The dark hallways of the demon command centre gradually gave way to the more familiar, albeit still intimidating, walls of my castle.
My thoughts were swirling with everything that had transpired. The paperwork, the plans, and, of course, Lydia's sudden appearance. Having her here, even in the midst of such a chaotic day, made everything feel more bearable.
As we approached the castle's main entrance, I couldn't help but notice Myra practically skipping beside me, her usual cheery demeanour unwavering despite the hours we'd just spent submerged in bureaucratic hell.
Lydia walked on my other side, her presence comforting and grounding. The tension in my shoulders that had built up from the day seemed to ease with each step, and I began to relax.
