Chapter 291: Clues To Obtaining Godhood

The woman stammered, sensing the cold tone of their savior.

As expected, she lowered her head in shame, right before her daughter's accusing eyes. Fear and uncertainty gnawed at her heart as well.

"N-No, I didn't. I am not lying," she meekly tried to deny the truth again.

Aengus was slightly annoyed. "Okay. Should I leave you two right here? I don't want to carry two ungrateful liars," he said, standing up, visibly annoyed, to push her into desperation.

"N-No… Please don't… My lord…" she immediately clung to his leg, wrapping her arms around it.

"Mother!" Lyra began to sob, seeing her mother's actions, tears welling up in her innocent eyes. "Please speak the truth to our savior. It's wrong."

Aengus remained resolute, not giving in to her desperate plea.

He gently slipped from her grasp, stepping back with a hint of irritation on his face.
