Chapter 229: Answer me
Lyra left the training grounds and followed after the guard. They passed many rooms and it took a long time to reach the queen’s chamber. She only now realized the vastness of Scorpion Castle. It did not consist of stories like her home but instead was spread wide with many rooms. There was a clear distinction between each chamber and the queen’s chamber was in the innermost part of the entire castle.
The queen’s palace looked well-maintained and pretty. No.....saying pretty was an understatement because the place in front of her looked absolutely gorgeous. There was a flower garden in the front and a little stream right beside it. Crystal-clear water glistened due to the sun’s rays falling on it and one could see small colorful fishes swimming along.
However, there was something even more beautiful that caught her eye when she glanced around. There was a woman maybe in her late thirties sitting relaxed on a wooden chair as she basked in the sun with her eyes closed. The latter had familiar chocolate brown hair with almost identical facial features to that of her mates’.
Lyra stood stunned in her place with her eyes wide open. The woman that she was seeing right now looked just like Demir would have been if he was born as a woman. The only difference was that Demir had more masculine and rugged features while the woman was more on the softer and feminine side. And when the said woman opened her eyes, Lyra gasped. ’How can this be?’ the woman even had the same golden eyes as her mate.
She waited with batted breath as the woman looked at Lyra. The woman’s golden eyes took in Lyra’s form as though she was observing a foreign creature.
"Take a seat" The woman’s lips parted letting out a soft voice breaking Lyra’s daze.
Lyra quickly recovered her composure before sauntering toward her mate’s mother. She also noted the woman’s eyes not leaving her as she sat on the opposite chair.
The woman relaxed in her seat before glancing at one of the guards beside her, "Leave"
The guards didn’t need more words as they scurried away right after that command.
