Chapter 22: Disturbance
Cyril spent this time watching over Morpho and Rhamn interact when Rose, remembering something, jerked her head up.
"Right, what happened to Leo Arken? Cyril, earlier he was glaring at you with such ferocity, like he wanted to kill you. Is there some story?" Rose shook off the oppressive atmosphere, not mentioning anything about the warning.
Cyril noticed that too, of course; one had to be blind not to.
After the incident, Leo didn't try to approach Cyril; all he managed was to glare at him from a distance. "Like a coward he is."
His face looked worse than ever, with dark circles under his eyes full of malice. Sooner or later he might try to do something unwise.
"There is" Since he was directly asked about it, Cyril decided not to hide this incident. "While I was shopping, I noticed Cedric and Leo going somewhere..." he told most of the story, including how Morpho helped.
Everyone listened with interest; they didn't expect someone from their class would do a kidnapping just to satisfy his petty pride.
"Their family is indeed shady; you should be careful in the future." Rose had a solemn expression. "At least he is not going with us to the Tower."
While Edmund had a similar reaction, Myra had a slightly different one. Cyril could swear he saw something sparkling in her eyes.
"It's a good thing you were there, Cyril. Indeed, one can't sit still if they want to defeat evil." She crossed her arms and nodded her head a few times with a smile.
She looked quite happy about something, even a bit nostalgic?
