Lucius's Tomb

While Maximilian was with Henrik, Eve was pursuing a different agenda.

She strode into the dungeon with a smile fixed on her face. Gazing at Lucius's impassive expression, Eve let out a derisive snort.

Gradually, the bone structure on her face shifted, and with a snap of her fingers, the atmosphere around the dungeons immediately changed.

"Still alive, I see," Eve remarked.

Lucius, rousing from what seemed like a prolonged slumber, shook his head, his expression one of confusion. Eventually, he raised his head and, almost instantly, his eyes widened.

"You are— you are here..."

"I am the one who saved you, Lucius," Eve smiled. "The least that you could do was smile."
