The moment Neveah stepped into King Jian's quarters, she sensed the Dragon King's presence but it was sparse, distant, overwhelmed by that of another.
King Jian was not in sight in his study, he must have been somewhere else in his quarters or elsewhere but Neveah could not be bothered,
Her eyes had settled on those swirling pools of pitch black as Xenon lifted his gaze to her from where he sat at King Jian's desk.
Neveah was caught off guard to find him there and it was already too late to head back out since he had also taken note of her arrival and now stared at her.
For a moment, Neveah just stared in silence and Xenon stared back. What else could they do but stare? There were no words to be said.
All that should have been said and even things that should not have been said had all been said on the night before everything went downhill.
