"A monster?" Ezekiel asked as Lyle nodded his head.
"Yes, it was a powerful monster that managed to knock you all out, I was about to lose consciousness as well, but luckily the great Sage felt the presence and came back, saving our lives."
"If a monster was able to do such a thing to us without any of us noticing, that means it was a monster from a realm higher than us … we truly escaped death by a hair's breadth," Nicholas stated as the others nodded, horrified of what happened.
They had only woken up mere minutes ago when Lyle had told them of what happened. He had hidden the truth from them, of course, as he couldn't tell them that the Empress herself had arrived via an avatar to fight against Eloia if there was a need to do so.
Therefore, he made up a lie, told them that a monster had attacked them and that Eloia was the one that saved their lives.
