Chapter 61: Trick
After talking to both queens, Lyra came out of the castle with Noah. Reaching the entrance they caught sight of a guard beastman waiting for them, Noah narrowed his eyes and inquired "Why are you here?"
The guard bowed his head and replied "I’m here by the order of Lion King young master, he asked me to bring you to him"
"Did something happen?" Noah questioned
"The king said it is important and wants to discuss it with you young master" the guard beastman replied politely
Lyra held Noah’s hand "You should go, I will walk by myself, it is only a few minutes of walking"
Noah shook his head "It’s fine, I’ll walk you to the castle first"
She sighed and pushed him slightly "Just go, I’ll be fine"
Noah was reluctant to leave her alone but because of her constant persuasion, he finally left.
Lyra was walking towards the rose palace near the woods when she heard someone’s voice filled anguish, she involuntarily followed the sound and reached inside the woods, after glancing at her surroundings she caught a glimpse of a man suffering from pain, she contemplated a little but her curiosity won over her, She reached the man and observed that he was grunting miserably, his face was covered in sweat and he was struggling to breathe causing his face to turn pale as a sheet.
She stretched her hand and carefully touched his forehead, he was burning with fever "Are you alright?"
Demir groaned and groggily opened his golden iris and stared back at her, Lyra panicked seeing his bloodshot eyes "My goodness, what happened to you?" then she removed her scarf and wiped his face.
