บท 163: The face under the hood

Lyle's eyes shone with mirth.

"Got you!" 

Raizel was right here! Watching him as he climbed the stairs. He centred himself, the pressure on the stairs was getting even heavier each second, if he didn't take it easy, he might just fall and he could not have that happen in front of Raizel.

Lyle kept on walking up when he suddenly stopped, his heart pounding loudly in his chest. He could feel his soul throbbing. This was the one, the inheritance that he wanted.

There was a figure standing in front of the door.

It was actually a wooden head. Its eyes had two unknown gems that flickered with an azure glow set within them, and the glow it emanated shone even brighter when his eyes landed on Lyle.

A puppet?

Lyle's gaze descended onto the body, as observed it without end. His eyes were bright and shiny, and he seemed as if he had noticed something very interesting.
