'Hmm? Why do I suddenly feel a little tired?'
While Lucien was musing over his rewards, far away in the Grand Royal Sky Pavilion, Second Prince Dorian sat on his chair, sipping tea quietly and looking at the beautiful sunset.
Only, suddenly, he felt a little tired out of nowhere. It wasn't physical; he wasn't that weak, but he just noticed something subtle before that feeling disappeared.
'Am I becoming old or what?' he thought, feeling weird, not realizing someone had directly sucked off ten years of his lifespan.
As for that Tenebrous Soul Codex, he probably didn't even notice its disappearance.
"Did he really reject your offer to enter the Phoenix Nest?"
Just when Dorian was feeling weird, he heard someone's surprised voice right in front of him.
Apparently, he was in the middle of a conversation.
"Yeah... how many times do I have to tell you? He really rejected it outright, saying that he was afraid of pain."
"Haha... Malcolm's grandson is really one of a kind."
