Grand King Daemonikai turned, a smile tugging at his lips, one he couldn’t suppress no matter how hard he tried. “I don’t know about you, Vladya, but I am having such a beautiful day.”

Vladya arched a brow as he dipped his head in a polite bow. “Your Grace.”

“Spare me the bullcrap.” Daemonikai waved a dismissive hand resuming his pace, hands clasped behind his back.

“He whistles too,” Vladya noted, his voice carrying a teasing lilt.

Daemonikai stopped, the faint melody in the air ceasing as well. He blinked, surprised. Was that me?

He hadn’t even realized he’d been whistling.

“You know, you’re fortunate Aekeira doesn’t have our hearing,” Vladya said, moving beside him. “She would have come storming in last night, hearing her sister scream like that all through the night.”

“Why are you suddenly all over my business, brat?” Daemonikai smirked, giving Vladya a sidelong glance. “Come to think of it, someone does look even chipper than I am.”

“This isn’t about me–it’s about you,” Vladya shot back, rolling his eyes. “And with all due respect, could you quit trying to change the subject?”

“Your ears should be cut off,” Daemonikai muttered under his breath.

Vladya smiled. An actual genuine, unguarded smile.

Daemonikai noticed the subtle changes in his friend since his return. Little by little, glimpses of the old Vladya were surfacing. But this–this sincere smile–took the cake.

Daemonikai said, softly. “I didn’t think it would happen either. Who would have thought
