Chapter 872: When the Body Remains

Likely nothing.

They would have been just like everyone else, utterly incapable of doing anything about the cadet who began glowing the moment his husband started to wake.

Yes. On top of all things, there was that, too.

While somewhere across the Empire, people were discovering brand new emotional entanglements, arguing over ranking systems, drafting excessively detailed reports about matters that would very likely reshape history, surviving the onslaught of tiny humans, and barely enduring the call of their own hearts’ desires, someone else finally stirred.

Xavier’s eyes opened unexpectedly.

Unlike the others, who drifted back to consciousness slowly as if being gently guided awake, the prince surfaced sharply. He moved like a man who had somewhere urgent to be, which immediately startled everyone who had been waiting nearby.

"...Xavier?"

"What’s wrong?" Duchess Amelia asked, lifting a hand to stop the others from rushing forward when Xavier barely acknowledged them at all. He sat up at once, eyes already locked onto Luca.

"I couldn’t follow him."

The words were muttered more to himself than anyone else.

Xavier stared ahead with a contemplative expression, disbelief etched clearly across his face. There was also faint distress. And irritation. The kind that suggested he himself couldn’t quite accept what had happened.

As if he genuinely couldn’t believe he had failed. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They weren’t particularly damning words. But paired with that unblinking stare, one Duke thought the words sounded ominous.

Duke Leander’s heart skipped.

But just before the worried father could open his mouth to ask what exactly his wolfish son-in-law meant by that, the universe decided to distract him.

For without warning, their precious son was engulfed in light.

"!!!"

And it took everything for the mortified father not to pass out.

Thankfully, no one needed to rush off to summon the elders as they came running back on their own after feeling a surge of strong spiritual energy.

Though in hindsight, calling it a surge was not quite accurate. While it would have felt like that to most people, it wasn’t like there was an actual movement of spiritual energy.

There really wasn’t. In fact, after reaching the scene, the elders managed to confirm that it really was a lot more like peeling back restrictions, suddenly allowing for more spiritual energy to be revealed.

But the shock of it understandably felt like a sudden surge.

But while that part didn’t catch the elders off guard, what got them all gawking was the fact that it was coming from their Young Lord Luca.

"?!"

Even the elders paused.

This, frankly, did not inspire confidence in anyone watching them.

Elder Wei tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowed as he studied the sight of their lord encased in light while the others around him were in various states of distress.

Was this supposed to happen after using the petals of the Queen of the Night?

Judging by the identical expressions of bafflement on the other elders’ faces, the answer was no.

So then what exactly had happened here?

And how come out of everyone present, only the prince didn’t particularly look surprised?
