" ouchh!! Now am sad." He said with a fake pout to his lips.
" Am highly respected here, but you royalties are something else." He added shaking his head in amusement, are they really ablivous to who he is, them seeing him and talking to him was every whithavener's dream come true. Being the best and most renowned healer, it suprising how his oblivious to the both.
" Huggh!! What with royalties." Lyra asked taking a sitting position, staring at the him intently.
Nora follow suit her back straight waiting for his response, he was speechless seeing how fast their reaction and demeanor changed, the warmth and liveliness sucked out of the environment which was replaced with a cold and dark aura.
" Look girls, I mean no disrespect to the royalties, I was just saying." His hands up in surrender scanning but their facial expression.
" Am sick of those trying to make acknowledgement to the world on how arrogant and ruthless most royalties are, and for your information, we're ladies not girls." Nora said glaring at him.
" I ain't heading that way actually and noted young ladies." His hands still up in surrender, his powerful enough to take down the two young ladies, but they're a little bit psychotic, they don't care about rules or laws,they can go to every length to prove their point. ughhhhh!! That one thing with those darn royalties, they're way too arrogant without them knowing it.
their expression softens, their shoulders both relaxed. Lyra slowly takes her head backward relaxing it on the couch headrest.
You see one thing about royalties, they care way too much about their reputation, dignity or whatsoever they calls it, the two are so worked up just by the mention of a single aspect of them, a reaction they did without them knowing, they act on Instinct.
Point one: never mention a royalties bad side to their face. { Warning : I repeat, never mention a royalties bad side to their face }. Noted.
" Lost in your wonderland." Nora's voice brings him out of his head.
" Don't mind me, taking note of some important stuff in my head."
" Hope those important stuff have nothing to do with USS?." She said stressing the us pointing at she and Lyra whom her eyes was closed, her breathing low as she exhaled softly.
He shakes his a little while uttering a firm " No, it nothing you should worry about."
" I know everyone here calling you master was like a form of respect but don't you answer something else." Nora asked.
" Huhhhh!!!." He sighed amused, that just so like her to say things randomly.
" You could just ask what my name was."
" Okay, what your name master of the fortress." She said suppressing a giggle.
" Well, taking it you asked politely, Am Azreel."
Nora's eye squint a little raising her brows " Az what master."
" Azreel Beelion." He said more firmly his eyes on her.
" Ohhh! Nice name."
A small smile graze his lips which looks almost invisible,
" your first time hearing that?." He asked
" Sorta, it sound foreign."
" You mean new." He asked with a raised brows.
Nora laugh softly, she just can't help how his fiery red eyes ting with hidden exhilaration.
Azreel shakes his head smiling softly, her smiles and laughter are so contagious he can't afford to stay stern.
" Now I know where I stand to you ladies, you're so oblivious to the outside world apart from yours." He stated fake pouting to seeming hurt.
They both turned silent when Lyra sudden voice interrupt them.
" Am scared." It was said so lowly as if afraid of admitting it, it almost missed their hearing, Nora swiftly turn to Lyra whose breathing was coming out a bit ragged. She seem to be struggling her eyes batting continuously.
They both hurried to her side, Nora hastily hold her hands which was shaking slightly.
" What with her, she was fine just few minutes ago." She said looking at Azreel hopefully, he takes Lyra's other hand and checked her pulse. A small frown greasing his forehead, her pulse was slow and he can hears her heartbeat beating slower. He quickly open her close lids to check her pupils, he gasped uttering something under his breath.
" what was that, her eyes losing its shade."
" Soul suction." He said lowly
" What?." Nora asked again with a slightly raised voice.
" It soul suction, like her soul is being sucked away." He said more firmly.
" Am scared Anora, am scared I don't know why but I feel like my heart is being sucked out of me slowly, it rendering me weak, it getting hard to breath, Nora I can't ....." Lyra clutch Nora's hand tightly, her vision slowly fading into a blur image, her eyes turning white completely.
" Ly, stay with me, listen to my voice." Nora tapped her face repeatedly shaking her shoulders, her voice quiver and laced with fear.
Why are things always going wrong the moment it starts to get better, it not fair they're just teen royals, they should be enjoying the luxury of bathing in a marbled suite while watching the sun set beyond the horizon, exploring other realms in a form of adventure. Nora's thought of so many things they could be doing instead of all this misfortune. Tears slip down her cheeks without her knowledge. A soft cold hand caress her cheeks gently wiping the strand of tears. Nora turn to the man, swiftly grasping the hand on her cheek, his lid closed instantly feeling her firm hold on him.
" You're the healer, you know better what with her, you should do something."
Nora watch him carefully , his lids fly open after some few minutes which feels like decades to Nora. Her eyes on him awaiting an explanation.
" Am sorry Anora, but I think I know what with her now."
" Then please do something, her mate doesn't even know he has a kind and beautiful mate yet, it can't end like." She said fearful of whatsoever is happening to Lyra.
" Actually, it her mate landing her in such abyss." His face a little stern as he check her pulse for a second time which was almost gone, her face paled.
Nora's eye run over his face staring at his iris searching for any validation stating what he just utter was inaccurate, thou all his eyes held was affirmative sincerity. She shakes her head more tears streaming down her cheeks
" But he knew nothing about having her as a mate apart from the attractive pull he felt toward her." How can he hurt the mate he had no knowledge of, she thought her eyebrows raised into a frown.
Azreel stare at her blankly, if they were together all this while how....., Ohhh lord of Sirius!!!,. His eyes widen at the sudden realisation. Why didn't he asked if they've mated or not, if they've truly not mated which they've not with how the young princess reacted to the soul tapping, His healing process will be busted.
" Ugggh!!!." He let out a low growl. " Have they by chance mated?." He asked voice low for confirmation afraid his theory is correct.
Nora shook her slowly her palm rubbing circles around Lyra's cheek absentmindedly. Seeing Nora's respond, he nods his head a little letting out a low sigh.
Closing his eyes, he spoke in words Nora doesn't quite understand, and in less then few minutes, a soft knock to the door makes Nora stiffened.
" Relax princess, it just some maids, they'll be taking her to the room her mate is treated." With that he went to the door and three maid entered with a wheelchair. Nora tense a little staring at the maids trying to pick Lyra up.
" She'll be fine trust me, if I had known, I'd have make him replenish his energy using some other process instead of using his mate." He said softly to Nora before returning his attention to the maids.
" The light abyss room." He said shortly inclining his head to Lyra .
" Yes master". They answered in unison before heading to the door with utter shock in their faces which failed to go unnoticed to Nora who watched them ride the chair out of the room.
