Chapter 1011 – Good News
Lux rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Good news. Before Sira decides this counts as work and makes Lullaby hit me again."
Corvus lowered his voice slightly, which made everyone lean in despite themselves. "The king still has not suspected you."
The dining room changed.
Not visibly.
But every woman at the table sharpened.
Lux's expression did not move. "Continue."
Zehar slurped more coffee, then said, "All his attention is on the Shadow Corridors."
Corvus snapped his beak. "Stop stealing my dramatic pacing."
Zehar ignored him. "He killed five lords today."
The table went silent.
Lux's gaze darkened. "Five?"
Corvus nodded. "Five confirmed. Two minor corridor houses were erased. One lord turned into a public chandelier."
Gula slowly lowered her fork. "That is… excessive."
Mira snorted. "That is panic."
Yue's face remained calm, but her eyes sharpened. "Or performance."
Naomi nodded. "Both can be true."
