Lucian walked downstairs calmly, each of his steps deliberate and controlled.
His grip around the bone dagger tightened slightly.
But his mind was going through a storm.
'Hope they are safe,' he thought.
The image of Lia's frightened face and Seraphina's trembling eyes lingered vividly in his mind.
He had left Lia and Seraphina like that, without giving them much explanation or time to understand what was truly happening.
Everything was happening far too fast.
The world had changed within hours.
Monsters had appeared.
People had died.
And now goblins had probably entered their house.
'What shitty luck,' he thought bitterly.
His lips pressed into a thin line as he descended another step.
But then he remembered something else.
His earlier plan… of sneaking out tonight.
'Or maybe… it is good luck?'
His eyes flickered as the thought crossed his mind.
If monsters had already entered the house, then maybe he wouldn't even need to sneak out at night.
