Lyra was awake by the shouting, frowned slightly, ignored it and rolled over.
Mason was still knocking on the door. If she didn't come out, he would keep knocking.
Lyra, annoyed by the noise, lifted up the comforter with anger, put on her slippers and thick robe, and went over to open the door.
"What's he up to again?" She said in disgust and glared at Mason.
"Miss Lyra, the master didn't mean to toy with you this time. He went to the bar in the afternoon, drank a lot and shooed us all away. When I went to pick him up from the bar in the evening, I found him drunk in the snow. He kept calling out for you, so I had to bring him to you."
Lyra had little expression, and looked very indifferent, "Just give him some sobriety pills, or find a doctor to give him an antidote injection. What's the use of sending him to me? I'm not a doctor."
She was about to close the door when Mason immediately grabbed the door frame, "Just look at him. He'll be at peace with your presence."
Lyra's face was icy cold, "I'm grounded by him. Except for this room, he forbids me to go out. What if he says I'm unruly tomorrow after he's sober? wouldn't I be too wronged?"
"This ..."
Mason was in trouble and thought seriously, "How about ... I carry him to your room?"
"No! He smells like booze. I can't stand it. Hurry back to Arzew Palace."
Mason was silent.
"Lyra, Lyra ..."
Downstairs in the living room, Anthony's drunken voice came through, with sadness.
Mason was in tears, "Miss Lyra, just go down and see him. I'll help you make it clear tomorrow. You don't want to be kept awake all night by him, do you? I'm begging you!"
Lyra sighed and hid the displeasure in her eyes, instructing him, "Go get that maid up and cook something to wake him up."
"Yes!"
Mason rushed down the stairs.
Lyra wrapped up in her thick and plush robe and followed downstairs absently.
Anthony laid on the couch. His face was red and he was unconscious.
Lyra covered her nose with her sleeve and sprayed some non-toxic and harmless air freshener to cover the smell of alcohol all over the living room.
She walked over to Anthony and kicked him in the knee a few times with her sole in an attempt to wake him up.
"Wake up, Anthony! This is no place for you to sleep. Finish your sobriety tea and get your ass back to your Arzew Palace!"
Anthony's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and his consciousness gradually returned.
When he heard Lyra's voice, his hand subconsciously sought the direction of the sound source and tugged on the corner of her robe.
The disgust in Lyra's eyes could not be concealed instantly and she immediately tried to tug her robe back from his hand.
"Let go!"
Anthony clutched it tightly and with great force.
She inhaled deeply. Her anger was welling up as she thought of Chad who was tortured and bloodied in the dungeon this morning.
While Mason went to the maid and was not back yet, she raised her hand and slapped him in that delicate face relentlessly.
