Chapter 85: Shadowy Love

Noah stirred awake after a deep, satisfying sleep.

The first thing his eyes met was Leona, standing silently by his bed, watching him.

He sighed quietly.

Even before being fully awake, he knew — something unfavorable must have happened.

He sat up, resting his back against the cold wall, gaze calm but wary.

"Leona, how have you been? I hope being with Elijah was… entertaining," he said, his voice still soft with sleep.

Leona bowed her head low.

"Master, I have been well. As for Elijah…"

A smirk played on her lips.

"I have good news for you."

Noah raised an eyebrow lazily.

"Good news? What a delightful surprise."

"But first," he added, voice gaining a little edge, "did he manage to kill that beast?"

Leona tilted her head slightly, not understanding why he asked that.

"No, Master. The beast managed to escape."

A simple, pleased smile formed on Noah's lips.
