Chapter 746: Library

"Well, I didn't expect to see you so soon. Nakith, Luci, you can relax near the door; I'll accompany Lady Jahi around the library."

Lady Hathor stood up from her couch and closed the book in her hands, its extravagant silver binding flicking in the candlelight, contrasting the woman's warm yellow skin with its metallic sheen.

Placing it on her belt, the older Demoness chained her book to herself before approaching me, giving me a nod before waving her hand languidly at the other two, dismissing them from our presence.

"Is there something in particular that brought you to the Aedis' library, or were you just here for a chat, Lady Jahi?"

Lady Hathor turned and walked slowly towards one of the many rows of bookshelves, guiding me further into the enormous sanctum of books, its wooden appearance softened by the beautiful tapestries that hung on the walls as well as the red and gold rugs that rested atop the wooden floorboards.
