Although surprised by the visible shock in Red's eyes, Drake ignored it as he stepped closer to the group. "... I'm asking- what is this commotion right in front of the sacred room?" his voice is calm but full of authority.
One guard responded, "King Alpha, these two wanted to enter the room, but the priestess specifically told us not to let anyone in until the inauguration is over," he politely explained while remaining bowed.
Lara intervened, "King Alpha, this cantle is not ordinary, so it needs to be inside before the full moon arrives," she explained, looking at the guards evilly.
The two guards immediately panicked. "That's why we agreed to let one of them in," they quickly explained, fearing Drake.
Drake looks at Lara. "You give the candle to the other girl since she looks more fragile than you," he commands.
