Chapter 633: Good day to you, my lord!
Jedrek had never smelled something so intoxicating and maddening like this. He didn't know what kind of scent this was. Blooming flower? But, what kind of flower? Since Jedrek was not a fan of those fragile things, his mind couldn't find the answer.
Yet, the scent alone almost drove him and his beast crazy.
The scent hit him hard until he could barely walk.And then, the sudden stop that he made, evoked the questioning looks of the eight people behind him.
It was Lyrus, who came to his side and asked. "Everything is alright, My Lord?"
Jedrek's jaw clenched tightly, that people could see his bulging veins on his neck and forehead.
Lyrus frowned upon seeing Jedrek's condition. "I will check on…"
Yet, before Lyrus could finish his words, Jedrek had raised his hand, signaling to his seven generals to go first.
Concerning looks etched on their face, yet they didn't have the courage to question their Alpha after seeing his expression now. It almost seemed like Jedrek was on the verge of an outburst.
"We will go and check," Maximus said in a deep voice as he led the other six generals to go to the great hall, leaving their Alpha and his Beta.
Roars and deafening sound continued. They could feel the castle was shaking, the windows were rattling when a loud explosion was heard suddenly from the direction of the great hall.
"What is really happening there?!" Lyrus snapped his head towards the direction where the seven generals had gone. Beside him, Jedrek was still quiet. "Jedrek, we need to go and see what is going on there." His voice was so rigid when he could feel the seven generals ahead of them had shifted into their beast.
If the generals were forced to shift into their beasts form, then there must be something beyond dangerous was going on.And also, just from the sound alone, Lyrus could tell that they should go into the great hall to find out what happened.
But…
"I will take you to your chamber if you don't feel well…" Lyrus offered his help, but the Alpha glowered at him.
"Watch your mouth," Jedrek spoke through his clenched teeth as he started to walk again.
Lyrus sighed deeply as he closed his eyes to compose himself. It was hard to keep up with Jedrek even after this long time. It only became harder compared to the time when he was not holding his current title as Beta.
If it weren't for the Gregory family's betrayal act back then when the Great War occurred, Lyrus wouldn't be in this position right now.
Placing his loyalty above his own personal feeling, Lyrus followed Jedrek to the great hall where the thundering sound became more palpable.
==============
Meanwhile, in the great hall, a young girl was standing proudly among the debris and the chaos that she initiated.
Her long black hair fluttered by the wind while her hands were doing a swift motion to keep everything out of her way.
Her expression was devoid from any emotion, but even with the dust swirled beneath her feet and draped on her shoulder and hair, it didn't cease her beauty.
She strolled forward with ease when all the beasts were tightly bound by the roots of the plants that broke through the floor and window of the castle.
All the beasts were flabbergasted by the sight, and the remarkable attack since they had never faced something like this before.
What was she? A witch? But, they had never seen this kind of witch's magic.
An angry and thundering roar echoed inside the great hall, it almost sounded like there were hundreds of beasts ready to be slaughtered.
They tried to bite off the roots' vines around their bodies, but they failed as those things would only grow stronger and faster. It's almost like they were fighting an endless battle against nature.
Those beast guards had already been tamed when the seven generals came.
Furious looks washed on their expression when at the same time, bloodlust flashed on their eyes upon seeing what this merely girl had done to their proud guards.
The great hall was no longer the sacred place where an important decision and events were being held.Within less than an hour, it had turned into a woodland.
How could this possibly happen?!
"WHO ARE YOU!?" Sebastian, the vice general, who was known for his bad temper, stepped forward in fury.His body was shaking in anger.
The girl was brave enough to stare back into the general's eyes. She seized them up one by one before she answered the general's question.
"I am Lilac." She gave them a harmless smile and added. "A guardian angel."
"NONSENSE!" Sebastian roared once again as he lurched forward and shifted into his beast. His transformation was smooth, as he had done it countless times.
Seeing their second general was in his battle mode, the rest of five people followed him as they turned into their ferocious beasts form.
It was only Maximus, who left behind. He was squinting his eyes calculatedly, they were fixed to the girl in the middle of the messy battlefield.
A guardian angel…
Which guardian angel? He killed one of the guardian angels.If he wasn't mistaken, the baby that he killed years ago, was really a guardian angel.
Even if the girl before his eyes was really a guardian angel, it was still impossible that she held such a power to be a guardian angel. It was well known that guardian angels were weak creatures, or else they wouldn't seek protection from shadow warriors hundreds of years ago.
"ENOUGH!"
Maximus was snapped out from his reverie when he watched how Sebastian was ready to bite off the girl's head, because she was too busy with the other generals' speed.Yet, he was forced to stop by his Alpha's order.
Jedrek stepped forward, his eyes turned red. It was clear for Maximus to see how hard Jedrek was trying to control his beast.
On the other hand, the girl named Lilac tilted her head, and sneered. "Good day to you, My Lord."
A smirk crept on Maximus's lips.
Interesting…
