Chapter 782 – I Feel Like a Kid
Lux didn't answer right away.
He just nodded slowly.
Because that word felt strangely heavy.
Weird.
Lux had faced kings without flinching.
Negotiated infernal contracts worth entire kingdoms.
Stared down celestial tribunals.
But sitting here…
Across from Asmo…
Drinking wine like this…
Something about it made him feel… younger.
Smaller.
Like the weight he carried everywhere else wasn't sitting on his shoulders.
Here he wasn't the Hell CFO.
Not the strategist.
Not the demon responsible for keeping half the infernal economy from collapsing.
Just…
Lux.
He flexed his hands again unconsciously.
Asmo noticed.
But didn't comment.
Lux stared at the wine again. "…It's weird."
Asmo chuckled softly. "You said that already."
Lux exhaled. "I mean…" He hesitated. "…I feel like a kid. You are the only who could make me feel like this."
Asmo snorted. "Well, you are one."
Lux rolled his eyes but didn't argue.
