Chapter 112: I was also worried

"I’ll kill him" Kyrell repeated resolutely making her chuckle.

"Now is not the right time for that," she said, "And as much as I want him to suffer, I would like to leave this matter to my father and mother"

Kyrell nodded his head. Her decision was right, after all the ones who directly suffered from that merman were her parents.

Lyra smiled faintly but right at that moment, her stomach reminded her about how hungry she was. Flushing, she looked at him, "I’m hungry"

Kyrell chuckled and got up from the bed and went towards the place where he was previously trying to light a fire. He managed to start a fire and started roasting the prey that he brought.

Lyra observed him as he finished the roasted meat with a pinch of salt on it. Kyrell handed the stone bowl with the roasted meat to her, "Eat it, you have not had anything for almost a day"

She nodded but then remembered about her nausea during the banquet and pushed the bowl away, "I forgot that I can’t eat meat"

Kyrell was confused in the beginning but soon realized about the incident at the banquet and felt guilty. That merman added some kind of herb into her food to make her unconscious without even asking him, fortunately, she spitted out most of it and that didn’t harm her or the child in her womb.

"I think you can eat this," he said slowly, "The meat in the banquet which you consumed was drugged and that might have made you uncomfortable"

Lyra went pale, "Drugged?"

He nodded, "I’m sorry...I only got to know after you fell unconscious that the merman used something like that"

"I’m with child," she said anxiously, "Do-does it has any effect on it?"

Kyrell shook his head caressing her trembling hands, "You spitted out most of it, and that merman checked you too and said that you were fine"

"I don’t believe him" came her quick retort. How could she when all that Gregory thought about was hurting her? What if he lied to Kyrell?

"I need to get examined," she said and got up from the bed, "Kyrell...I think something is wrong, I need to go out as soon as possible"

Kyrell too got up from the bed. His heart refused to let her go but her safety mattered to him more than anything now. She was right, that merman was malicious and manipulative, he could have lied to him in the spur of a moment to save his life.

He gazed at her as she fidgeted in her place. She was trying her best to not break down and he felt even more guilty for being the reason for this situation.

Without wasting any more time, he closed his eyes and removed the barrier around the eagle cliff. Then he held her hand and took her out of the cave but collapsed on the ground when he felt a heavy power suppressing him to the ground.

"Kyrell!" Lyra got down on her knees and held his shoulders, "Are you alright?"

Sweat beads made way on his face and he clenched his fists trying to fight back the power tormenting him, but as he already used most of his powers trying to remove the barrier, it was difficult to do so.

Lyra frowned seeing his state and mumbled, "What is happening?" then she heard a soft voice behind her, "You should leave"

She was startled by the voice but relaxed after seeing the familiar flame bird, "What are you doing here Kenna?"

"Master sent me" chirped the bird, "He is currently unable to go out of the house to look for you, so he asked me to find and bring you back"

"Did you do this to Kyrell?"

Kenna glanced at him with cold eyes and said, "He was the one to abduct you"

Lyra sighed, "Can you stop hurting him now? He was going to bring me back before you arrived"

"I don’t care," said Kenna, "My master told me to not spare the one who captured you. So leave him here and come with me"

"You should go" Kyrell added his words, "I’ll be fine so leave"

"Let’s go...." Kenna said impatiently as it turned big enough for Lyra to ride.

She contemplated in her place but getting examined by a witch master was more important so she bent down and kissed Kyrell’s cheeks surprising him and Kenna. Then she used some of her water power on him to soothe his pain caused by Kenna’s fire and muttered, "Take care"

Kyrell watched her still dumbfounded as she stepped towards Kenna and got upon it.

Kenna soared the sky and said, "Master will be infuriated after he learns about you kissing your own captor"

"Then don’t say it to him," said Lyra trying to balance herself while flying.

"I won’t," Kenna said rolling its eyes, "He will take it out on me if he learns that it happened in my presence"

Lyra chuckled, "He is a weird one isn’t he?"

"More than weird he is crazy," said the blazing bird, "And the vital thing here is that he is crazy for you"

"He is?"

"You didn’t know?" Kenna asked baffled.

Lyra smiled faintly, "It is not craziness, I think that he just loves me so much that it might seem like that, but he is not crazy"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," said Kenna sarcastically.

Both reached the rose castle in no time and Lyra got down from Kenna, "Thank you for bringing me back"

As she turned to walk inside, Kenna’s words made her halt, "I did not only try to find you because of my master’s orders"

Lyra raised her brows in confusion and Kenna continued, "I was also worried when you went missing" she smiled and Kenna urged her, "Now go inside and calm down that erratic master of mine"

Lucas was pacing around in his room when he heard the commotion outside. Noah was still unconscious, so he came out of his room and widened his eyes, "Ly!"

Lyra turned around and beamed at him stretching her arms. He whimpered pitifully and launched himself hugging her tightly.

"I can’t be-breathe" he eased his hold but remained in her embrace, "I was so scared"

"I’m sorry for worrying you," she said caressing his back. Then she pulled out of his hold with great difficulty, "How is Noah?"

Lucas released her and instead clasped her hands tugging her towards his room, "He will be fine after a good rest"

She sighed relief and entered inside and saw Noah lying on the stone bed. Sitting at the edge, she caressed his face and pecked his lips, "Get well soon...."

Lucas was standing near the door when she turned around to him, "Can you call a witch master from either wolf or lion tribe?"

He was confused, "Noah was already examined by his tribe’s witch master and he was the one to say that he would be fine after taking rest"

Lyra felt her prior anxiousness surface but she held back from worrying him and said, "I want them to examine me"
