Chapter 152: Lyra’s good boy
Lexi for the first time in her life felt that her life was meaningless.
She was still trying to overcome Derrick’s demise and now her father was also dead. The one who taught her to walk when she was little was now lying on the ground as a corpse. The hands that held so much warmth whenever they rubbed her head now felt cold. The face that always had a confident smile was battered beyond recognition.
"Jacob!" Lexi closed her eyes when she heard her mother’s desperate cry. Her heart broke into pieces seeing her mother’s wailing. But most of all, she felt frustrated for not being able to do anything in this situation.
If only she was born a male, then she could have avenged her father’s death. Not only her but the entire tribe was filled with misery. They didn’t know the perpetrator’s identity because every single guard who was patrolling that day either lost their life or was out of their minds.
When the lion tribe informed them about this disaster, Lexi and her mother were away from the tribe. For the last few days, her father acted more and more paranoid and always suggested that they leave the tribe. He even made sure to send the elite guards with them for their safety.
It was as though he had an intuition that something bad might happen and it really did transpire. Lexi only knew that her father was trying to do something with the tribe’s strongest witch master but she was not clear about their objective. She did ask some of her mates to secretly investigate her father but the fox king was very confidential and did not leave any traces.
Now her father was dead and she was not able to find information about either their goal or the witch master inside the fox castle.
"We have to notify the prince about this your highness" Lexi came out with her thoughts after hearing one of the tribe elder’s words.
"Brother?" She asked hesitantly. Lexi could understand the elder’s worry. Leaving the throne empty for too long might hurt tribesmen’s spirits and other tribes might look down on them. And worst of all, the stray beasts might launch an attack during this period to steal females.
