Chapter 90: Win-Win
As Asher was happily testing out the new movement technique, a faint smile lingered on his face. However, his steps came to an immediate pause when he heard a knock on the door. His smile widened, for he already knew who it was, Lyra.
"Come in," he said with a calm smile, gently sitting down on his bed. At his words, Lyra stepped into the room, still dressed in her maid uniform. Her appearance remained flawless, as always, a testament to the fact that although she had been sealed away somewhere, nothing truly harmful had occurred to her.
"Good morning, Young Master," Lyra greeted politely, her voice as serene as ever.
"How are you, Lyra? I heard you were locked away to prevent you from assisting me," Asher asked with a gentle tone. Although she appeared perfectly fine, he still asked to be sure.
Lyra smiled tenderly before replying, "I’m perfectly fine, Young Master. Congratulations on successfully surviving the True Awakening. I never had any doubt in you."
"Your trust in me is always overwhelming, Lyra," Asher responded with a soft chuckle.
"Well, I was fairly confident you could have simply teleported here if you were in any real danger," Lyra replied with a touch of amusement. This was one of the key reasons for her unwavering confidence in Asher’s survival.
"Well, I am a Wargrave, Lyra. We don’t run. It’s in the name itself, Wargrave. We send our enemies to the grave, no matter who or what they are," Asher said, shaking his head slightly with a smirk of pride.
"You seem particularly cheerful today, Young Master," Lyra observed, noticing the constant smile that had adorned Asher’s face since she entered the room.
"I won’t lie, I am. Most people dread the True Awakening, but I actually wish there was a second part to it," Asher said candidly, not hiding his thoughts in the least.
