Chapter 1102 – Runa Delacour
Lux nodded. "I believe you. Because you came down here annoyed that my pheromones were too strong, then stole my tea, then looked at my chest three times."
Aela's eyes widened. "I did not."
[Four times now.]
A puppet maid entered again with more food and placed another cup of tea in front of Aela.
Aela looked at it.
Then at Lux's cup.
Then very calmly kept Lux's cup.
The puppet maid paused.
Lux said, "Let her have it."
"Understood, my lord."
The maid left.
Aela stared into the tea as if it contained answers. "You really did not mean to affect everyone?"
"No."
Her gaze shifted to him.
Lux's expression had changed.
Still tired. Still amused. Still too handsome for peace.
But sincere.
"The blessing reacted strongly. Gula chose me, Lullaby came because the pheromones reached her, then Sira returned, and after that…" He waved one hand vaguely. "It escalated."
Aela's brows lifted. "That is your explanation?"
"Yes."
