Chapter 428 Change is Coming Part 3
'Partner?' Lilith couldn't believe her ears.
However—
Celine's flushed cheeks suggested that this was not a business type of partnership.
'How did he even manage that?' Lilith wondered, remembering that Reign's true body was all bones.
It was hard to imagine how he could charm someone so thoroughly.
And it wasn't just his appearance; he was also a psychopath and socially awkward.
Only a crazy person would fall for him.
She could understood Cyril's infatuation—he had saved her, after all.
That "knight in shining armor" effect was powerful.
But what about this girl?
How had she been swept up by him.
Unfortunately, she couldn't get answers right now because Reign was staying hidden.
"I read the note, and R...Sunny asked me to escort you to a Tier 2 city," Lilith said gently, making an effort to sound kind.
She knew well that the petite woman in front of her had a psychopathic boyfriend, so it was wise to treat her well.
"Okay, " Celine didn't argue at all.
Reign had instructed her to follow Lilith, and now that they were a couple, she felt a strong desire not to disappoint him.
She believed his decisions were made with her best interests in mind, especially after hearing that Green Valley was no longer safe.
After their talk, Lilith quickly instructed her staff.
"Take her to the largest guest room .Make sure it has everything she need."
"Yes, Miss Lilith," three maids bowed their heads.
They gestured for Celine to follow them, taking her luggage and ensuring their smiles were warm and welcoming.
Celine followed the assistants through the beautiful halls of the mansion, her eyes wide with amazement.
The place was huge, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and shiny marble floors.
When they reached her room, Celine tried to hide her surprise, worried they might think she was just a poor girl who had somehow snagged a billionaire husband.
The room was huge and beautifully decorated. It had a big bed with soft blankets, a comfy sitting area, and 100 inches flatscreen TV.
One of the assistants smiled at her. "If you need anything, just ask us. We're here to make sure you're comfortable."
Celine felt a mix of surprise and gratitude.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Why was Lilith being so nice?
Now, she felt a guilty.
She got a little bit jealous when she saw how beautiful Lilith was, wondering if she was her rival.
But seeing how kind and generous Lilith was, her suspicions began to fade.
'Maybe I'm overthinking this,' she thought, relaxing a little.
Lilith's attitude made it clear that she wasn't a rival but rather someone who wanted to help.
While all of this happened, Reign, in his second body, watched from a distance.
He was concerned that Lilith might misunderstand his presence.
After all, she was a devil and had a strong dislike for anything related to the divines.
As for his real body, he had hidden it deep within the miasma in a secluded spot.
Fortunately, the miasma's nature worked in his favor.
Anyone trying to track him would have to spend valuable time .
And with his second body, he could spy on the city without raising any suspicion.
Heck, he could even join the human side, act like one of them, and be a double agent.
Who knew? Maybe he'd get an award for "Noble Citizen" while plotting their own downfall.
'Speaking of double agents...' he thought to himself, a smirk curling on his lips as he remembered a little loose end he had yet to tie up.
Turning around, he pulled out his phone, already connected to the city network.
He quickly dialed a number. After a few rings, a voice came through the line.
"Who is this?" the voice asked, low and cautious.
"It's me," Reign said, keeping his tone relaxed.
"We need to meet. I'll send you the address, and don't be late or my shadows will come after you," he warned.
There was a pause on the other end, and he could almost hear the gears turning in the person's mind.
"Understood," came the reply, followed by a click as the line went dead.
With a satisfied grin, he slipped the phone into his pocket and casually headed toward a small cafe tucked away in a quieter part of the city, where business was less bustling.
The place was far from flashy—perfect for low-profile meetings.
In fact, there were only a few patrons—just two older individuals besides him—sipping their drinks and chatting.
Reign blended right in with them after slipping on a pair of sunglasses.
Even without using his charm ability, he was still so attractive that people would easily mistake him for a movie star. It was almost annoying how effortlessly he drew attention.
A waiter approached, ready to take his order.
"I'll have a Caramel Macchiato, and one piece of Strawberry Lava Cake. "
"Yes, Sir," the waitress replied, flashing him a wide smile.
Even with the sunglasses on, his perfect features were hard to miss.
Before long, the door let out a soft chime as the person he was supposed to meet walked in.
Reign's gaze swept over her.
This time, she had a completely different look—or rather, a completely different body altogether.
Aiku wore a fancy dress that looked expensive, fitting her perfectly.
It hugged her body in just the right way, and her jewelry sparkled just enough to be noticed without standing out too much.
"Well, this is a change," he said, arching an eyebrow. "Last time you looked ready to kill a dozen men. Now, you look like you're about to party."
Aiku smiled back and replied, "I don't think my transformation holds a candle to yours, Master."
Reign's eyes narrowed as he noticed her boldness and demeanor.
Her words had more confidence now, hinting that possessing different people might be shaping her personality.
Or.
Maybe she was starting to remember more, just like Aika had, and that wasn't good news .
'Well, what should I do with this ticking bomb?' he thought, weighing his options carefully.
