63 A Night Talk with Lyra, and Liliana's Surprising Visit

Thirty minutes ago...

"Lyra, could you stay in my room for a while?" Leon turned his gaze toward Lyra and asked.

"Hmm?" Lyra tilted her head, a question mark hovering above her.

Sensing that his words might cause a misunderstanding, Leon immediately coughed.

"Cough! I mean, could you stay for a while? There are some things I want to ask you," Leon said, pretending to put on his usual indifferent and calm face.

Lyra blinked, then gave a small nod in his direction.

"Of course, Your Majesty Leon. Please, just ask," Lyra said politely.

Leon smiled as he reached for a loaf of onion bread on the table.

"The things I want to ask will probably take a lot of time. So, don't just stand there—take a seat on the sofa," he said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

Upon hearing this, Lyra hesitated momentarily, but after some thought, she nodded and took a seat on the sofa across from Leon.
