Crown Princess Lyra Belle de Anemoi
______________

Chapter 28

Upon King's demands, Lyra nibbled her lips while Medea and the rest proudly waited for her to say something.

At this Mika and Vile spoke up,

"Your majesty, pardon our overstepping the boundaries, however, Crown Princess Lyra is not to blame. Duchess Medea was slandering the former Queen and even claimed to have poisoned you both."

"What?"

Derek glared at Medea who shrugged in response,

"I do not know what they are talking about. Of course, these two would be on Lyra's side. They are her knights."

"Even if we weren't, we swore on our Knight's honor on what we heard."

"You bastards. You will lie to this extent? Are you crazy?"

"With all due respect, this is not lying."

"We are merely stating what we heard and observed."

"You ought to be punished for your insolence."

"Enough!"

"We will talk about this later. For now, Lyra should apologize for her behavior."

Smirking Medea looked down upon Lyra, who muttered a small inaudible sorry before marching away.

Mike and Vile follow after her as the King then glares at Medea,

"Listen here. Just because I stay quiet does not mean I do not know what's going on. Be careful not to overstep your boundaries."

Gritting her teeth, Medea was about to reply but Derek went away.

Hubris who was watching everything quietly ran up to Lyra who was stomping away in anger.

"Lyra....! Wait!"

Lyra didn't stop one bit as he barely managed to catch up to her. Instead of trying to stop her, he started walking next to her which irritated Lyra even more as she continued to pretend as if he didn't exist.

"...are you okay?"

He asked in a soft tone. This was the first time in all her life that had she heard Hubris speak to her in such a caring tone. It made her feel disgusted.

Meeting with silence, Hubris nevertheless continued to talk to her,

"I apologize for my mother in her stead. They were all in the wrong. Don't worry, I will make sure they will do nothing to harm you."

Still, Lyra didn't utter a single word. He kept going as tears started forming into his eyes,
