Chapter 31: Confession
Lyra walked with Lucas and sat on the ground waiting for food. She felt good to have a man who could cook for her. Blake cooked steamed vegetables and meat soup. He remembered her eating vegetables and fruits in the wolf tribe and also knew she would fall ill without them. So he diligently prepared either fruits or vegetables every day for her. She felt sweet inside seeing his efforts, then went towards him and kissed his cheeks. Lucas was stunned by that sudden kiss and turned stiffly towards her.
Lyra took the bowl and ate as though she didn't know anything. Before Lucas could say something, Blake entered the room and lifted Lyra, making her sit on his lap hugging her.
Lyra swallowed the food and questioned, "Say, why did the witch master come to our house?"
Both of them went stiff and darted their eyes to come up with a plausible lie. It was not yet time to reveal the truth to her, she was slowly getting used to this world but was still constantly missing her parents from another world. If she learns that the ones who took care of her for so many years were not her real parents then she would be shocked and even more if she learns about her real mother's death. So they decided to solve the problems first and then reveal them to her.
Lucas's eyes litted up, he excitedly said "The witch master had no place to stay, so he came to request us to let him in our house for a night"
"Then why did he leave?" Lyra questioned back still in doubt
Lucas furrowed his eyebrows "It's because we rejected his request"
She tilted her head, still not believing his words, but didn't pry too much and left the topic. It was obvious that they were trying to hide something from her and she didn't want to force them to answer.
Lyra finished eating and went to sleep. Maybe because she was pregnant, she used to feel more sleepy and tired but other than that there were no other problems.
