Under the bright moonlight, a black figure sat alone on the rooftop of the small building.
The black robe she usually wore when going out had been removed. Tonight, she wore a black dress.
The pure moonlight illuminated her perfect face, making her look like a descending angel. Her deep blue eyes often revealed anger, sorrow, and confusion.
It was Nyx!
At this moment, she was listening to the people from the Dragonfang below in the small building as they drank and chatted with Andrew and Reginald. She was the only one who had not joined in.
She heard Andrew asking where she was and why she was not joining them. Then, Franz said with a bitter smile that no one could convince Nyx to join.
In the end, the thoughtful Reginald had Juno Mooney bring food up to the rooftop for her. Looking at the pastries in front of her, bought especially for her alone, Nyx unconsciously clenched her delicate fingers.
In her mind, Reginald was amazing, but Andrew was just terrible.
Andrew made Nyx very uneasy. She feared that, sooner or later, he would become a fatal weakness that dragged Reginald down.
Reginald had more enemies in the Outlands than she could count on both hands. Yet, it was obvious that Reginald would never listen to her concerns.
The little celebration lasted until deep into the night before finally ending.
Nyx also sat alone until late into the night.
Reginald had Franz take Andrew to rest. Andrew said there was no need to walk him there since the room was just nearby. Then, carrying Godslayer, slightly tipsy, he left the small building.
Suddenly feeling a chill on the back of his neck, Andrew could not help but turn to look.
Under the moonlight, Nyx's cold face was watching him.
