The conversation between Celeste and her parents did not end there, and in fact, it went on for quite a while after that, stretching into a long exchange where Lucius repeatedly pressed her for more details about this boy named Elion.
The more he heard, the more his expression gradually soured, because nothing about what he was learning sat well with him.
Elion was a first-year.
That alone was enough to make his brow twitch because it meant the boy was younger than his own daughter, and yet, despite that, he had already managed to entangle himself with her to such an extent.
And as if that was not enough, Celeste had casually mentioned that he already had two other women before her, which only made Lucius's thoughts grow darker, because if the boy already had a habit of collecting women, then what exactly was stopping him from continuing to do so in the future?
