Kyra also wanted to join the others and explore the lands alongside them. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to leave this castle with Lucas. However, her excitement was quickly overshadowed by an excruciating pain coursing through her body. It felt as though every bone was on the verge of tearing apart, making it impossible for her to accompany them.
Currently, Kyra was curled up in her bed, drenched in sweat that cascaded down her body, soaking her clothes completely. She let out a groan, her hands tightly gripping her hair as the unbearable pain persisted. She attempted to take deep breaths, inhaling and exhaling slowly, desperately trying to find some relief.
Feeling the pain, Kyra noticed a faint ringing in her ears, but her focus was clouded, preventing her from fully comprehending her surroundings. She strained to make out the voices that reached her ears.
"No, Emma, we can't do that. There's still a guard outside. If they find out..." someone whispered anxiously.
"What! I've already seduced them. Now get rid of this bitch. I can't stand the sight of a stranger who's more beautiful than me," a malicious voice responded venomously.
"But, what should I tell the boss? He..." the hesitant voice trailed off.
"I don't give a damn! I don't want this female here," the furious voice snapped.
"Alright," he reluctantly replied.
"Wait!" Emma exclaimed as she glanced at Kyra, who was curled up in bed, clearly in a distressing state. Despite her condition, Kyra's beauty still shone through, her face flushed with sweat.
Emma's eyes filled with jealousy, and she viciously dug her long, sharp nails into Kyra's arms, drawing droplets of blood.
"Ahh!" Kyra cried out in pain, her eyes snapping open.
The men surrounding Emma looked fearful as Kyra opened her eyes, which were red with tears, still clinging to her lashes.
"Hello, you wretched bitch," Emma smirked, pressing her nails deeper into Kyra's arms. Her nails were stained red, and she relished in the sight of pain reflected in Kyra's eyes.
However, Emma's expression quickly changed when Kyra suddenly leaped up and delivered a powerful kick to her stomach, sending her flying backward.
Despite the throbbing ache in her back, Kyra stood straight. She wanted nothing more than to lie back down, but the surge of pain in her arms had roused her from her rest.
"Who are you?" Kyra's voice dripped with icy coldness as she advanced towards Emma, enduring the pain that coursed through her.
Emma's eyes widened in disbelief. She hadn't expected this female to be so powerful, someone who could effortlessly kick her away.
"What the heck are you waiting for, you worthless bunch? Attack her!" Emma bellowed at her males, who hesitated.
Frustrated by their hesitation, Emma clenched her teeth and transformed into a green snake. Her elongated body lunged towards Kyra, hissing.
Kyra swiftly dodged Emma's attack, swiftly turning the tables. She grabbed Emma by the neck, her grip tightening, cutting off her air supply.
Witnessing this, the males' eyes filled with anger. They were already mated with Emma. If she died, they would be left alone. With no other choice, they reluctantly launched their attacks against Kyra.

On the other side, Lucas was feeling anxious. It was the perfect opportunity to leave the castle. However, here he was, staying with them seeing land.
His heartbeat was out of control as he sensed that something was wrong.
Lucas was always the one to do whatever he wanted without thinking about the consequences.
Right now, his mind was telling him to run back to Kyra.
So he did.
At that moment, most of the snakes were preoccupied with Vincent, observing the lands. However, a few of them had already noticed Lucas running.
"Catch that wolf! He's running away!"
"Catch him!"
"Darn it, he's running so fast!" the snakes shouted as they slithered behind Lucas, who skillfully avoided them as he ran.
His ocean blue eyes were filled with a serious and sharp expression. He was a rank four beast, so his speed was incredible. His long, smooth fur shook in the wind as he ran.
He looked handsome and powerful wolf.
He let out a growl, and in front of him stood Vincent, with his dark red eyes coldly fixed on Lucas.
"Where do you think you're running?" Vincent spoke, his tail lashing out roughly towards Lucas, who skillfully evaded it.
"Wooooooooooof!" Lucas let out a defiant howl.
Vincent hissed sharply, revealing his sharp fangs.
Both of them were challenging each other.
Lucas's ocean blue eyes glared coldly at Vincent, who lunged towards him.
