"Meliae, is this what I sent you to do?"
When Byron heard Lucille's voice, he was kind of frightened for reasons unknown to him. Not frightened like he was in danger, but startled like someone caught doing something they shouldn't be doing.
'Since when do I fear Lucille?' he wondered.
He turned to look at her, curling his lips into a smile.
"It's not Meliae's fault. I'm the one who told her to do it. Would you have wanted her to disobey me?"
Lucille, whose gaze had been staring daggers at Meliae, shifted her focus on Byron and tried to smile. "Of course not. I would have punished her severely if she disobeyed you. Did she tell you what I sent her to say?"
"She did tell us. But Ayota wanted to go take a bath in the hot springs and I was still burning from her teasing. I had to use Meliae to cool myself down before I burnt to death."
Lucille just blinked, stunned by his words. She was probably wondering why Ayota would choose hot springs over Byron's dick.
