Loona was nervous. After all, it was Darryl's idea for her to apologize to her brother. When Prince Auten mentioned him, her heartbeat hastened.
However, she still did her best to remain calm and nodded. "Yes."
'D*mn it!'
Immediately, Tyson could not help but scold, "Darryl is so arrogant! He is acting recklessly and trespassing in the forbidden territory because Natalie is backing him up. How did you handle it, Loona?"
Then, he looked at Loona with anger in his eyes.
Loona inhaled deeply and secretly calmed herself. She said, "I wanted to stop him, but Darryl barged in. So, I have to chase after him."
"Then?" Tyson could not help but nod in agreement.
'Indeed, she's my sister. She did not let me down.'
Loona lowered her head, and there was guilt on her face. "I wanted to catch him, but Darryl was extremely cunning. In the end, he escaped."
'Escape?' Hearing that answer, Tyson scratched his head, and for a moment, he felt disappointed.
Prince Auten pondered and asked, "I heard the generals say there was only one entrance at the forbidden place. Since you've already followed him there, and with the rider armies guarding the entrance, how did Darryl escape?"
Prince Auten was meticulous, and quickly, he called out the flaws of her statement.
Furthermore, he suspected Loona had been in contact with Darryl secretly, and he wanted to get more information from her.
'Oh, right…'
Tyson realized and glared at Loona. "Previously, Darryl fought with the nine Golden Birds, and his energy was already exhausted. He shouldn't have been able to go against you. How did he escape?"
Loona became flustered as she was questioned by the two of them.
'Sh*t! Do they doubt me?'
Prince Auten was ecstatic after reaching that conclusion, but he could not express it because Tyson was nearby.
Tyson was glad and tilted his head at Prince Auten. "Looks like Darryl is dead underneath the forbidden place. Then, that saved us a lot of work."
'What a fool.'
Prince Auten smiled without a word, but deep down, he contemplated Tyson.
'Tyson is too naive. Can't he tell that his sister is lying to him? I don't think he can help me deal with Darryl. I'm better off doing it on my own.'
Loona secretly felt relieved when she saw Tyson had no reservations. Her mood was immediately lifted.
"Brother…" Then, Loona poured a glass of wine and asked Tyson curiously, "Where did you put the Empress under house arrest?"
She asked casually, but her eyes were filled with desperation.
