Poison King chased Lyanna to the window and watched as she disappeared into the night. Glancing at the missing photo on his table, he grinned.
“Don't be hasty. You'll know everything soon enough come tomorrow night.”
His eyes glinted maliciously.
When Poison King turned from the window and returned to bed, a figure flashed across a dark corner. It was Jared.
Jared looked up at Poison King's bedroom window with a cold look. “It looks like there is a relation between this old geezer and Lyanna's parents somehow.”
Lyanna was already back in her room when Jared arrived. Seeing him returning from outside, she asked cautiously, “Where did you go?”
“To the restroom. I couldn't keep it in. What? Am 1 not allowed to do that?” Jared let out a tired yawn and said, “Where did you go dressed in an allblack catsuit in the middle of the night?” “I don't need to explain anything to you.
Changing out of her catsuit, she climbed back into bed, holding onto the photo tightly. She decided to confront Poison King about the girl in the photo the next day.
Lyanna led Jared to Poison King’s cabin the next morning. Stepping through the threshold, they saw many others had gathered around waiting in the living room.
“Pretend as though you've lost all your powers later. Make sure no one sees through your act,” Lyanna instructed.
“Why?” Jared asked.
“Don't ask so much. Just do as I say.”
Lyanna shot him a glare.
Jared nodded his head and followed Lyanna into the living room.
She didn't dare to meet Poison King's gaze, feeling guilty after sneaking into his room the other night. On the other hand, Poison King acted as though nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Noting his gesture for her to approach, she quickly strode to his side with downcast eyes and a bowed head.
