Luka came in and interrupted Athena before she could continue talking‘’I know exactly who your father was Athena and i also know your relationship with kate. Do you remember the man you met at kate’s cottage by the name william.Luka leaned back against the stone railing that adorned the terrace of his modest apartment, the evening breeze ruffling his raven-black hair. He took a sip from the glass of whiskey in his hand, the amber liquid glinting in the fading light.His gaze turned towards the figure standing a few feet away, her silhouette framed by the dying sun. Athena. Her presence held a certain elegance, a mix of strength and vulnerability that had always intrigued Luka. Tonight, however, there was something different about her – a tension that seemed to have taken hold of her usually composed demeanor.As Luka watched, Athena walked over to the railing, her emerald eyes fixed on the distant horizon. The cityscape of Esteros stretched out before them, a tapestry of lights begi

Gone was the vulnerability that had momentarily entrapped her. Athena's gaze grew steely, her hazel eyes reflecting the fire that burned within. She replayed her meticulously devised plan in her mind – a web of lies and half-truths that would weave a tapestry of deceit, slowly building the foundation of trust she needed to escape Luka's clutches.As if awakening from a trance, Athena blinked her eyes, her focus returning to the present. She cast a quick, cautious glance around, ensuring that Luka's piercing gaze was nowhere to be found. Though her heart pounded with trepidation, her resolve remained steadfast. It was time to escape this surreal daydream and confront the stark reality that lay ahead.With a soft exhale, Athena straightened her posture, steeling herself against the lingering tendrils of her reverie. Her lips formed a determined line, and she muttered a silent reminder to herself, a pledge to shake off the allure of daydreams and face the impending challenge head-on. Eve

Luka's features softened, a flicker of understanding crossing his face. "I know your motive, Athena. But why should I trust you? You could be using my desire for Ardolf's fall against me."Athena's voice gentled, an earnest plea lacing her words. "Because, Luka, you and I share a common enemy. I didn't love Ardolf. Every act of loyalty, every smile, was a facade. All to gain his trust. But my loyalty to my father's memory is genuine. I want to bring Ardolf down, and I know that you do too."Luka hesitated, torn between his loyalty to his master and the undeniable logic of Athena's words. "You could be weaving another web of lies."Athena's gaze never wavered, her words a vow of sincerity. "I swear, Luka, that I will stand by your side. Together, we can dismantle Ardolf's empire, expose his treachery, and ensure justice for my father's death."As Luka gazed into Athena's eyes, a battle raged within him – a battle between doubt and hope. He had seen her resilience, witnessed her escape

"Luka," Athena's voice was measured, her gaze piercing as she studied him, "there's something about William that you're not telling me. I can sense it."Within the dimly lit corridors of the castle, as the echoes of the disturbance faded into the background, Luka and Athena found a moment of respite. Their conversation resumed, though now an undercurrent of tension and suspicion swirled between them.Luka's features tightened, his eyes flickering with a mixture of guilt and frustration. "Athena, I promise you, there's nothing more to it. William was my father's friend, and I knew him through my father before he passed away."Athena's eyes narrowed, skepticism evident in her expression. "Luka, I want to believe you. But your explanation feels incomplete. Why did you hesitate when I asked about William? Why would your father's friend raise concerns in the midst of our conversation?"Luka ran a hand through his hair, his gaze fixed on the cold stone floor. "Athena, you're right, I hesita

Athena stepped closer, her voice gentle yet resolute. "Luka, you need to approach this with honesty and clarity. Tell Light about me, about our shared goal to bring down Ardolf. Explain that we're now on the same side, that we're working together to uncover the truth."Luka's fingers brushed against his sword hilt, his thoughts racing. "But what if she thinks it's too dangerous, that it's not worth the risk?"Athena's voice held a note of reassurance. "Luka, Light is strong, and she deserves to know the truth. She deserves the chance to make her own decisions about her involvement."Luka's gaze met Athena's, a mixture of gratitude and trepidation in his eyes. "Athena, I'm grateful for your guidance. I just hope she'll understand."Athena's voice held a hint of determination. "She will, Luka. But you have to make her see that our alliance is for the greater good. She needs to know that we're not enemies, that we're fighting together against a common threat."Luka nodded, a newfound res
