As they settled in the castle lounge, Aeliana curled up in one of the armchairs, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Tell me more about your cousin, Lucian. What is she like? Personally, it's also my first time meeting her."
Lucian leaned back in his chair, resting the rare tome on the table between them. He seemed to weigh his words carefully before responding. "Leona is…unique. She's younger than me by a few years, but her wisdom feels centuries ahead. That's the burden of being an oracle, I suppose. She sees too much."
Kael snorted from the corner, sipping his tea. "She's also sharp-tongued and has a habit of making people feel like children with a single glance."
Lucian raised a brow at Kael. "She's not wrong when she does it, though, is she?"
Kael shrugged. "Fair point."
