Back in the castle, inside Lord Elrien's study, the lamps flickered across the worried face of Mira, as she stood before Lord Elrien's imposing desk.
Just this afternoon, they had been celebrating that their lady was back in favor when Lord Elrien came to take her away, and now none of them knew what was happening but the demon lord's cold expression made her wonder if her lady had displeased Lord Elrien.
They hadn't seen her since this afternoon, and talks had also spoken that his lordship had taken the human out of the castle instead of Lady Lyria and now Lord Elrien was asking questions.
Mira dared not to lie, even for her lady's sake.
"She hasn't been herself since she woke up, my lord."
Her voice quavered as she explained everything that happened during Lyria's confinement.
She spoke of the ash and candles and then, Mira's gaze drifted to Yuta, who sat quietly on a wooden platform beside Elrien.
