章節 29: A Lingering Touch

The morning sun bathed the Ravenwood gardens in a soft, golden light, casting long shadows across the dew-kissed lawns. Eliana, dressed in a simple yet elegant gown of pale blue, strolled along the winding paths, her footsteps barely disturbing the fallen leaves that carpeted the ground. A sense of peace settled over her, a stark contrast to the turmoil of the previous weeks. The revelation of Sebastian's true identity, the looming threat of the Demon Lords, and the impending journey into the demon realm all weighed heavily on her mind. Yet, amidst the uncertainty, a newfound sense of hope flickered within her heart.

As she rounded a bend, she spotted Sebastian standing by a marble fountain, his tall figure silhouetted against the rising sun. He was dressed in a casual tunic and breeches, his red hair catching the light like strands of fire. His gaze was fixed on the cascading water, his expression contemplative.
