Chapter 1021 – I Need Your Silence
Lux's voice remained quiet. "No."
Cyrinne's eyes returned to Aela. Then to Yue. "You…"
The word did not finish.
It did not need to.
Lux lifted one hand.
Then he smiled and pressed one finger to his lips.
"That's why I need your silence."
Cyrinne went still.
Lux's smile did not move, but the room felt the edge beneath it. "What you see here, and what we talk about here, stays between us."
The invisible brand on Cyrinne's wrist pulsed once.
A soft burn.
She looked down at her hand.
So that was why.
Not because Lux distrusted her personally.
This was high-level treason.
Cyrinne had come here thinking she had a valuable secret.
She had thought herself useful.
