"Are you going back?"
The next morning, Edric and Alex walked side by side, their lovers strolling quietly beside them.
The celebration had gone on longer than expected last night. It stretched past midnight, filled with laughter, chatter, a wide range of delicacies, and even a couple-dance near the end.
Now, as the sun rose gently, they prepared to part ways. Alex had more places to visit, and Edric needed to resume his training.
Edric shook his head. "Not yet. I plan to search for a few unregistered labyrinths."
He wanted to return to the Blood Domain, but he still had unfinished business in the human realm. He intended to make the most of his time here by training. While the monsters in this region weren't especially strong, facing them alone without relying on his transformations could still pose a worthy challenge.
"We also have a birthday to celebrate. You forgot?" Amanda frowned at him.
