"Come on."

Karen who was already at the door was waiting for Dylan, who tiredly followed after her as Xavier followed them as well.

When they were out in the corridor, Karen turned to Xavier and spoke in a demeaning manner,

When they were out in the corridor, Karen turned to Xavier and spoke in a demeaning manner,

"Leave us alone."

Contrary to her words, Xavier didn't move an inch. This irks Karen who questions,

"Didn't you hear what I just said?"

Xavier replied in a monotone,

"I do not belong to you that I have to follow your orders."

This makes Dylan let out a chuckle as he marked Karen's heated face. He then politely requests Xavier,

"It's alright, Xavier. Leave us alone. You must be tired. Go and rest early tonight."

Xavier nodded and then left.

Upon his leave, Karen mumbled,

"Should have done so from the start."

At that moment, from in front, stomped Lyra. Her expression was full of fury. Dylan had never sighted her this way. Surprised, he quickly undertakes a few steps to approach her. She flinches upon noting him but her face hardens once again as she turns to Karen,

"Where is Brother Wily?"

Karen too was slightly taken aback by noting Lyra's expressions, however, she replies,

"I think he was going to go to the fountain in the eastern portion of the palace."

Without even waiting for her to finish, Lyra went ahead. Dylan turned around and followed after her. Karen surprised by Dylan's actions, follows them as well.

"Your highness? Where are you going?"

She inquires but Dylan disregards her and instead calls out to Lyra,

"Lyra! What happened?"

This was the second time he had said her name. Lyra flinches upon hearing her name and comes to a halt. However, she wasn't the only one surprised to hear Dylan call her this way. Karen who was watching bit her lips as she tried to figure out the relationship between the two.

"Did something happen? Are you alright?"

Dylan worriedly asked as he scanned her for any sort of wound and took a sigh of relief after confirming that she was unharmed.

Gulping, Lyra felt her throat parched. She then forced a smile,

"Absolutely, everything is alright. I am sorry for disturbing your walk with Karen. I just had some details regarding administration work that I wanted to go over with Brother Wily."

She answers politely. Dylan however squinted his eyes and furrowed his brows. He knew that she was lying. But he didn't want to point it out. Even if he felt hurt that she did not depend on him enough to inform him of everything even though earlier she claimed that she has nothing to withhold from him.
