Luminous: The Throne Chapter 120
“Move out.” Alessia’s voice echoed sharply across the Solaris courtyard as the first light of dawn spilled over the horizon. The air was cool, crisp, and trembling faintly with what remained of yesterday’s disruption. Her team assembled instantly—Kael at her right, Ianthe at her left, Eryx behind, Kade close, Seraphine clutching her pastry bag, Rian carrying a stack of glowing notes, and Selene taking the rear like a shadow with a smile.Kael scanned the courtyard, irritation simmering at every corner. “Where is the Lunaris escort? They were supposed to meet us here.”“They’re inside,” a Solaris guard said nervously. “Awaiting the princess in the Lunar Wing.”Kael frowned. “Why the Lunar Wing?”“Because they’re Lunaris representatives,” Ianthe said. “They’d combust in the sun if they had to wait outside.”Selene laughed softly. “Not literally but mostly.” Seraphine shrieked. “Mostly?!”Eryx sighed. “She’s joking.” Selene smirked. “Am I?” Alessia ignored them and headed toward the arc

“Tonight?” Kael’s voice was low, but it carried. “Yes,” Alessia said.The courtyard lanterns had already been lit, casting warm gold over white stone and pale trees. The sky was turning violet, a soft twilight that didn’t match the tension in the air.Ianthe flipped a dagger in her fingers. “I thought we were resting.”“That was rest,” Alessia replied.Rian squeaked. “That was two hours!”“Exactly,” she said. Seraphine hugged her pastry bag closer. “My soul is still tired.” Eryx adjusted his gauntlets. “We knew this wasn’t over.”Kade, seventeen and still pale from the Rift, looked between them. “Do we even know where to look? The architect doesn’t put signs over his gates."Selene smirked. "No, but he leaves echoes.” Kael’s eyes narrowed. “Explain.”Alessia pivoted abruptly. “We’re not doing this in the open.”She headed toward the inner wing. Her team followed without needing to be asked.“The Luminous Cartograph Chamber,” Rian whispered, eyes wide. “You’re taking us there?”“Yes,”

“You sure you don’t want guards posted outside your room?”Kael leaned against the doorway of Alessia’s temporary Solaris chamber, arms crossed, shadows drifting like restless smoke. The corridor behind him was dim and quiet—most of the palace asleep, save for the night patrols and trembling researchers who whispered about the Rift collapse.Alessia unfastened her cloak calmly. “No.” Kael’s jaw flexed. “Humor me.”“I don’t need guards.”“You might.”Alessia turned toward him, silver-violet eyes glowing softly in the lantern light. “I have you, don’t I?”Kael blinked once—then looked away so sharply it almost looked painful.“…Always,” he muttered.“Then I don’t need more.” He huffed but didn’t argue further.Alessia walked to the basin to wash her hands, watching her reflection ripple in the water. Her eyes looked clearer than usual, sharper, and older. Sixteen hadn’t felt sixteen in a long time.Kael shifted behind her. “I’ll be just outside the door. If anything feels strange—”“I’l

“If you faint again, I’m carrying you.” Kael’s voice echoed down the Solaris hallway as Alessia stepped out of the atrium. The marble beneath her boots shimmered with faint sunlight, and the air was charged with the soft hum of luminous currents adjusting to her new authority.Alessia didn’t slow. “I’m not fainting.”“You fainted last time.”“I collapsed. That’s different.”“No,” Kael said flatly, falling into step beside her, “it isn’t.”Ianthe jogged after them, twirling a dagger. “Kael, you’re loud.”“He’s worried,” Seraphine whispered, hugging her pastry bag.Eryx nodded. “He’s always loud when he’s worried.”“I’m not—” Kael began. Alessia shot him a look. He shut up instantly.Selene walked leisurely behind them, golden eyes sparkling with wicked amusement. “I enjoy that you command him without words.”Kael snapped over his shoulder, “I don’t obey—”“Yes, you do,” Selene said. “Beautifully, in fact.”Rian’s voice cracked. “C-can everyone stop provoking him before he snaps and sha

“Land us closer to the atrium." Kael glanced sideways at Alessia from the pilot seat. “You want to skip the palace gates?”“Yes.”He adjusted the controls. “Direct drop at the Primals’ doorstep. Subtle.”Selene, lounging in the back of the transport with her arms folded behind her head, smiled. “Oh, I like this version of you—efficient, rude, and regal.”“Quiet,” Kael snapped.Rian, still strapped in and pale, peeked over the edge of his seat. “W-won’t we get in trouble? There are protocols, right? Formal landing procedures—”“Protocols can complain later,” Alessia said.Seraphine hugged her pastry bag. “I’m scared but also excited and hungry.”Ianthe kicked her feet up on the opposite seat. “At least we won’t have to walk through ten kilometers of corridors first.”Eryx checked his armor straps. “Less time for nobles to surround us, more time to deal with the real problem.”Kade, slumped beside Eryx, eyes still ringed with exhaustion, managed a faint smile. “I approve of skipping nob

“She’s waking.” Kael’s voice was low and rough, as if he hadn’t spoken in hours. Alessia blinked slowly, her vision swimming in blurred streaks of gold and shadow. The world felt softer than the battlefield, quieter, warmer.She shifted slightly, realizing she was lying in someone’s arms.Kael’s arms.Her head rested against his chest, his heartbeat loud and frantic beneath her ear. His shadows curled protectively around them like living armor.Alessia breathed in slowly. “Kael?”His head lowered immediately, his forehead almost touching hers. “Alessia, stay still. You passed out for too long.”“How long?” she murmured.His jaw clenched. “Too long.”Ianthe’s voice echoed nearby. “She means in actual numbers, Kael, not in your overprotective nonsense.”Eryx added, “Thirty minutes. Maybe a little more. You’ve been unconscious since the collapse.”Seraphine sniffled loudly from somewhere to the left. “I—I made pastries while we waited. Emergency pastries.”Rian added, “I think I blacked

“Move. We leave within the hour.” Alessia’s voice echoed down the polished Solaris corridors the moment she stepped out of the Celestial Atrium. Her team fell in behind her automatically—Kael first, then Ianthe and Eryx; Seraphine clutching her satchel; Rian stumbling to keep up; and Kade lingering

“What did you just say?” Alessia’s voice did not rise. It did not crack. It did not shake. But every person in the Celestial Atrium felt the temperature drop. Solaris, Lunaris, and Noctis—all three Primals—fell silent beneath her gaze. Solaris finally stepped forward. Her golden eyes dimmed with

“Open the gates.” The command didn’t come from Alessia. It came from Solaris guards stationed atop the palace battlements the moment the transport appeared in the sky. They had expected her. They had been waiting for her. Not with fear. Not with ceremony, with urgency. Massive golden gates parted

“He’s accelerating.” Alessia gripped the command rail of the transport cabin as the craft shuddered violently. Outside the windows, the luminous currents of the sky rippled unnaturally—swirling in twisting arcs like a storm made of pure essence. Kael steadied himself immediately, one arm braced ag
