After that, Jax walked through the quiet Demon King Palace.
Compared to the constant pressure that usually surrounded Jax, the current environment was peaceful.
Elyndra's official visit was still a bit away and Seraphona had finally been reunited with her parents. There wasn't anything for Jax to do immediately.
He walked through the palace's eastern corridor with his hands tucked casually into the pockets of his dark trousers.
His black shirt was loosely buttoned around his neck, and his long coat rested naturally across his shoulders. His dark curls remained slightly tousled, giving him an appearance far less formal than the Demon King usually displayed during official meetings.
Eventually, he reached one of the enormous windows overlooking Aeternum Noctis.
He stopped and looked at the Capital stretching out beneath him. It was very late at night, a couple hours before the sun would come up and the city looked peaceful.

Jax stretched slightly.
