Capítulo 21: First Battle

Arthur's mind raced as he considered his plan. If he was going to lure the demon out, it would have to be somewhere secluded—someplace where no one would witness. The demon wouldn't confront him unless he is alone. 

'I will have to send Lily away and go somewhere secluded to lure him out.' Arthur thought

He glanced at her as they walked down the hallway, keeping his tone casual. "Lily, could you go fetch Lyra and Lira for me? I'll need their assistance shortly."

Lily's brows knitted. "Is something wrong, young master?"

"Nothing to worry about," I replied with a reassuring smile. "You'll understand soon enough."

She hesitated but nodded, casting a cautious glance over her shoulder as she hurried off. Once she turned the corner, Arthur's demeanor shifted. His eyes steeled, and he veered down a shadowed corridor leading to an isolated section of the palace.
