章 227: Shrouded Whisper

After finishing their meal, Valeria and Lucavion stepped outside the warm, bustling inn and into the cool evening air of Andelheim. The quiet calm that followed sharpened Valeria's focus, her mind already brimming with thoughts of what Lucavion had hinted at earlier.

Valeria watched him, her expression guarded, though the determination in her eyes hinted at her own drive to uncover whatever truth he was nudging her toward. 

"Now, what?" Valeria's voice cut through the stillness as she followed Lucavion down the cobblestone path. Now that they'd finished their meal, his promised time to act had arrived, and she was eager to know what exactly he had in mind.
