Chương 337: The present (Lucien)

Four years passed and Syryn remained asleep; four years since Milky's unexplained disappearance. Altaire, now a permanent fixture at the palace was engaged in discussion with Rowan who visited the palace as often as was possible.

Their first exchange had been filled with animosity, especially on the anti mage's end since he believed that Altaire was a hindrance to his plans, but the years had mellowed down their sharp words to blunted and friendly conversations about worldly affairs.

Today, Lucien had come with Rowan. The teen was a ravishing sight to behold, a seductive red siren that turned heads every time he stepped out of his house. Over the years, Red had become a part of Luci and he longer made an appearance on his own. Luci had thus become just as barbed, crafty, and wicked as his counterpart had been, though he retained a charming kindness which could be attributed to Rowan's influence in his life.
