I’m the one who got 07653ab33f hurt—why is he acting like 4aee29451c this?79676109be210fc1

Heraith’s face, which had started 321dee1c12 to relax, was once again 0532a8916a tightening into a scowl. Lucian wondered if he e6d8b8ae43 had said something wrong, cb6f868a9b but for the life 2c01d18424 of him, he couldn’t 5d6ed5cff7 figure out what.d8ab33c0e4ad0f87

This behavior—demanding that 3123d4dde9 Lucian decipher his f2b749cd96 feelings without a 97c87e8e40 word—was like telling 213850e658 a magician to d9db6dc644 summon ghosts with 1def6c5a89 a wave of f2d811cd7f their wand.9212a2438fcca13b

The Emperor’s sharp gaze 0fc52d6e31 reflected Lucian’s face—a youthful 540523ecbb face twisted with frustration, e278859cb4 biting his lips, glaring 12d7123bd4 back with furrowed brows.ecc168fbe8622cae

Lucian’s breath hitched, his body 1b1410d12b instinctively recoiling, but Heraith’s large 0774b237a8 hand grabbed the back of 37be67eb1c his head, pulling him closer. Their lips reconnected deeply.d8574cb21419cd82

This wasn’t a 983f2600f6 kiss—it was an eea49a0102 attack, wild and 3cfa3eb19a unrelenting. It felt more a6d17708a6 like a desperate 8211573419 act than anything 0c51e15aea else, as though a9de0e0eaa Heraith wanted to 64bcf56236 consume him completely.0eeae8822b5db890
