Lucien went looking for Lilith.
After reaching the Eternal Realm, she had already hidden her name from the universe.
Strangely, however, Lucien had never forgotten it.
Genesis Forger.
That was what she called herself now.
Others, however, had begun calling her the Divine Forger.
Soon, Lucien found Lilith at the edge of the Stillness Palace.
She stood alone, looking down at Lootwell.
The wind moved lightly around her. She stood straight as always, dignified, strong, and composed.
But from behind, she looked lonely.
Lilith had already reached the Eternal Realm. Her presence was deep and stable enough that ordinary people would have felt pressure simply standing too close.
And yet, in that moment, Lucien could not help thinking she looked like a child who had lost something precious and was pretending she had only come outside to check the weather.
His chest tightened.
Knowing she liked him did not make this easier.
He did not want to hurt her.
