บท 297: The ritual

All the colors from Edwin's face got drained up when he saw the shiny portal that was before him. His timid attitude made Oberon frown. He only recruited this man for this quest as he assumed him to be loyal and bold. But this man was acting like a coward. He turned to Lyra and shook his head in disbelief. She already had told him not to recruit this man—but Oberon didn't listen! 

"Edwin," Oberon roared. "Are you up to this or not?"

Edwin flinched at his tone. He immediately said," Yes! I am up to this, your highness! Your wishes are my command—"

Edwin only said that as he had no other choice than that. This did or die! Now that he knew about the true face of the King, he was aware that he would be dead if he said no now! He had to get into the portal along with the King and do this quest!
