"Why should I?" Lyrus asked. They got engaged in a stare down. "Do you want t9 know why I came here? It is because of your daughter," he asked and answered it even before Edgar could reply.

Edgar was taken aback by the sudden revelation and his mind working faster than ever as he tried to piece the puzzle together. His eyes narrowed sharply at Lyrus, whose expression remained blank, not giving away what Edgar wanted to see.

"What? You look so surprised. Didn't think I would come to know about her?" Lyrus asked, and Edgar brows pulled together. Was it not as I thought? "I am aware of your daughter's bond with one of my own," he said and sat, leaning into his seat. "Do not think nothing happens without my knowledge, Edgar."
