Sylva's shock was evident as she witnessed Drako managing to sneak behind the chaos and confront Lyon directly. She couldn't hide her concern and exclaimed, "We've got to help him!"
But Thaedan swiftly intervened, placing his hand in front of her to stop her in her tracks.
"But Patriarch, he's gonna kill him!"
With a knowing and wise expression, he shook his head and responded, "Not if he is what he said he is..."
His words hung in the air, indicating that Thaedan might see an opportunity to expose Lyon's true identity.
Lyon's calm and enigmatic voice held a touch of gravity as he spoke to Drako. "You don't understand, Drako. Your punishment for offending my wife was already decided, yet you brought your clan with you... to me."
Drako, taken aback by Lyon's words and his transformed appearance, couldn't help but feel a shiver down his spine.
