Felix had the heaviest burden weighing on him.
He heard the commotion outside and called out in a pitiful tone.
“Lyra, come check on me soon, or I might not make it p>
Lyra paused mid–step.
She glanced first at Hadrien, then hurried toward Cell 120 with suspicion in her eyes.
finished
When she drew near, she spotted Felix draped over the window frame, looking utterly worn out. Behind him, Rook’s faint yet vicious insults still drifted out.
Lyra studied Felix.
Bruises bloomed all over his face, deep purple and blue, smudged with half–wiped blood. The marks made his handsome features look even paler, like a sky streaked with faint sunset hues.
Felix spoke weakly. “Lyra, you finally came… I’m falling apart. Don’t you care about me p>
Lyra stared at him for several seconds and slowly lifted her hand.
A barely noticeable smirk tugged at Felix’s lips. He leaned forward, offering his head, expecting a gentle touch.
Instead of soft caresses, he received a firm shove.
His head snapped backward, forcing him away from the window.
Lyra pushed the cell door open and peeked inside.
The room was wrecked, as if a storm had torn through it. Debris littered the floor, and streaks of blood stained the walls. One smudge even formed the faint outline of half a face–like someone bleeding had been slammed hard against the surface.
Inside, Rook, covered in blood, was pinned beneath a massive, fierce snow leopard.
Every time Rook struggled to break free, the leopard growled a warning, its sharp fangs clamped firmly onto the vulnerable nape of his neck. Its claws dug into his flesh to hold him still.
Lyra gasped.
She had thought Zev came to break up the fight, not subdue them like this.
She waved urgently, signaling Zev to call back his spirit animal and stop.
Zev turned to face her.
“ Ms. Kaelin, this Sentinel is dangerously unstable. I suggest you step outside p>

Lyra frowned and stepped forward.
Hadrien reached to hold her back, but she ignored him completely
She fixed Zev with a displeased stare and sent a message via Star Brain. “Det him go p>
Finished
If she had known this was how he intended to settle things, she would have asked Hadrien to handle it instead.
Zev shook his head and looked toward Hadrien, his tone turning lecturing.
“You should not bring a Guide into such a scene p>
Hadrien stayed silent.
Lyra waved to draw attention to herself and repeated her demand for Zev to release Rook.
“This man cannot control his emotions or reason,” Zev replied. “Ms. Kaelin, you ought to stay far from this danger p>
Lyra paid no mind to his reprimands.
For better or worse, she knew Rook far more than Zev.
If not for Rook himself, she owed consideration to his spirit animal.
She stepped forward without hesitation. Hadrien stretched out his arm to stop her.
Felix suddenly slid into view, grinning, blocking her path.
“Why bother with him, Lyra? He spoke disrespectfully. He deserves a little suffering p>
Lyra shot him a sharp glare.
A little suffering? The leopard’s fangs were moments away from crushing Rook’s neck.
She pushed Felix aside and kept walking forward.
“Hey now p>
Felix turned and watched Lyra storm onward.
Why was she so upset?
Did she simply hate seeing conflict, or… did she care whether Rook got hurt?
“Let him go p>
Standing before Zev, Lyra sent the demand once more through her Star Brain.
Zev remained unmoved. He even criticized Hadrien sharply for failing to keep order.
Lyra locked eyes with the snow leopard and lunged straight toward it.

Hadrien, who never took his eyes off her, reacted instantly.
She never made contact with the large feline. Instead, strong arms wrapped around her waist, catching her and lifting her so she hung half–suspended against his torso.
Lyra twisted her head, signaling Hadrien so let her go.
Hadrien said simply, “It’s dangerous. ”
Lyra gestured toward the leopard, then toward Rook pinned beneath it.
Hadrien did not speak. In the blink of an eye, his nightmare beast materialized. Its powerful hooves slammed forward, kicking at the snow leopard without hesitation.
The snow leopard leaped nimbly out of the way, spinning around. Its dark, shallow pupils glared coldly with anger at the newcomer.
The nightmare beast had appeared only to fulfill Lyra’s wish and sought no extra trouble. Once it forced the leopard back, it stood calmly between the two sides.
Cough!
At that moment, Rook struggled to his feet. He spat blood onto the floor and stared venomously at Zev, ready to repay the humiliation of being pinned down.
“Rook p>
Lyra quickly called out to him through her Star Brain.
Rook froze.
Lyra messaged him, “Calm down. We can talk this through properly p>
Felix’s eyes narrowed.
He understood she was trying to soothe Rook and pull him back from rage, yet resentment gnawed at him hearing her willingness to negotiate.
Why did even Rook get to be considered?
Hadrien said nothing, yet his mood soured.
If Lyra truly took Rook on as a personal guard and brought him to Core Prime, he would need to split half his focus to watch over the reckless Sentinel.
Left unchecked, Rook would drag Lyra into endless trouble.
Even Zev frowned in disapproval.
How could someone like Rook serve as a personal guard beside a Guide?
Lyra appeared oblivious to all these concerns, or perhaps she only sought a temporary truce. All her

auction rested on Rook.
She kept sending messages via Star Brain, urging him to settle down and avoid fighting.
Rook refused to look back. Anger had burned away what little rationality he possessed.
“I’m beating him to death today p>
With that shout, he charged straight at Zev.
Zev stood tall and unflustered.
Finished
Likely out of consideration for the Guide’s presence, he did not command his spirit animal to attack again. Instead, he prepared to fight Rook hand–to–hand.
