Chapter 1808 - Fake (1) (2/2)

Dyon chuckled. He had a feeling Lyla did this on purpose. Even if she couldn't read his mind due to The Seal, she was too good at reading the emotions of people now. She saw right through him.

He held her tightly, his worries washing away with her delicate fragrance.

The guilt he felt in leaving a little girl in an environment she knew nothing about all alone had always been there, but it hit doubly now that Lyla was actually here.

”You aren't going to forget about me, are you?” Zaire's boisterous, almost overly loud voice filled Dyon's ears. Dyon almost couldn't believe that the little boy who used to cling to him had a deeper and far manlier voice than his own now.

Dyon grinned, rubbing his little sister's head as she sobbed lightly and ignoring Zaire.

”You're a man now, you don't need me anymore.”

Zaire harrumphed, turning around as though to throw a tantrum.

'Plus, won't I be too embarrassed to hug you now? Who asked you to be more than a foot taller than me?'

Lyla giggled in Dyon's c.h.e.s.t, as though seeing through his thoughts.

Lyla wiped her tears and grasped Dyon's arm like a spoiled little girl. Dyon smiled and let her do as she pleased. He hadn't given her any brotherly love for over 20 years now, she definitely deserved some attention after so long.

”Sorry for interrupting.” Dyon said lightly. ”Did something happen?”

The happy atmosphere turned serious. Amphorae took the lead in explaining.

”There are a few issues, Lord Husband. Firstly, we need to figure out how to move forward with the Open Phase. Sister Clara had her hand forced so our plans were pushed up further than we'd like them to be. Secondly, there's still the celestial floors situation. The Demon Generals are still fine since they're under the protection of Low Gold City, but Little Lyla has reason to believe that Middle Sapientia and Middle Lily City are being heavily monitored right now.

”We decided to move Sister Madeleine away against her wishes, but the Flaming Lily Sect disciples are still in danger, not to mention the fact that the thousands of eye witnesses to what took place in Middle Sapientia City are also unable to move freely.

”Lastly… There have been reports of a few oddities on this planet. The Life Stone, or rather its usual abilities, seem to have deteriorated for reasons unknown.”
