The apartment had become quiet as Luna and Liora were gone.
Lucius sat comfortably on the couch, while Loreia stretched lazily, looking completely relaxed.
She turned to him with a smirk. "So, what now?"
Lucius raised his eyebrow. "I should be asking you that."
Loreia grinned smugly. "Well, I quit my job."
Lucius paused. "Just like that?"
Loreia nodded. "Yep. No regrets. I figured, now that you're back and rich, you can afford to take care of me."
She leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm. "So, I'll just relax and enjoy life."
Lucius sighed, rubbing his temples. "Sure, I can afford it… but not now. I literally just got back."
Loreia pouted playfully. "Ugh, fine. I'll wait… for now."
Then a loud growl echoed in the room. Lucius immediately froze.
Loreia blinked for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Oh my god! Was that your stomach?!"
