Lucius and Lily walked to their rooms, unaware that Emilia and another person had observed them.
Taking out the key from his inventory, he looked at it with nostalgia. It's been awhile since he used it.
"Finally, I can have a shower," Lucius spoke to himself as they ascended the stairs.
"I'm also looking forward to one. Can I join?" Lily asked, but only Lucius shook his head.
"Not this time, Lily. I really need to be alone for a bit to calm down. Another time," he said, his fatigue evident as he spoke.
"I understand," Lily smiled faintly, not offended by his response. She too was in need of rest, the fighting had taken a toll on her.
''Once I wake up, I will gather the rest. Until then, you should also rest,'' Lucius stated as he arrived at the door. Lily nodded, watching him enter the room.
"First step is completed," she whispered with a sneaky smile before rushing into her room.
