Chapter 516: Meeting Corvina

Chapter 516: Meeting Corvina

Aeliana sat in silence for a few moments, watching the cityscape shift outside the window. The streets of Stormhaven were beginning to transition from the bustle of day to the quieter hum of the evening, the golden light casting long shadows against the cobblestone roads.

Then, without turning to face him, she finally spoke.

"What exactly are you planning to do in the city center?"

Lucavion, who had been idly stroking Vitaliara's fur, glanced up with a small smirk. "Oh? Curious, are we?"

Aeliana's amber eyes flicked toward him, unimpressed. "You dragged me into this trip. I have every right to know where we're going."

"Wow….how shameless to say that I was the one dragged you, when you basically barged in."

"Well, I learned from someone quite talented."

"….."

"So?" Aeliana gave him a flat look before repeating, "What are you planning to do?"

Lucavion exhaled through his nose, resting an elbow against the window frame. "Meeting someone. Business matters."

Aeliana's eyes narrowed slightly. "Who?"

Lucavion's smirk didn't waver. "You'll see."

Silence stretched between them.

Aeliana's fingers curled slightly against the fabric of her dress. She hated vague answers.

Her glare sharpened, but Lucavion remained entirely unbothered, turning his attention toward the passing scenery instead. His gaze followed the swaying branches of the trees lining the road, the evening light filtering through the leaves in shifting patches of gold.

Then—quietly, almost absentmindedly—he murmured to himself,

"…It's been a while since I've taken a carriage."

It was barely above a whisper, a thought spoken more to himself than anyone else.

But Aeliana caught it.
