The Moonlight Garden
Unknown to Ciela, who walked through the moonlight garden, which is normally a beautiful place with shining flowers wrapped in moonlight. The pair held hands, strolling back to her palace, a feeling of both victory and defeat lingering through their bodies.
"Did you know these flowers only bloom in the moonlight, Asmodeus?" Ciela's eyes narrowed while forcing her lips upwards, showing a slight smile.
"Oh? They look quite beautiful, is that the reason."
He didn't know how to comfort her after learning the truth.
They were forced to become passive until knowing the Empress and people important to Ciela became safe.
However, walking through this garden wrapped in warmth, despite it being in the middle of the night, seemed to help Ciela relax. Her hand loosened as she swayed while strolling at his side, leaning against Asmodeus. She flicked her gaze towards him several times, watching his face.
