Lyra typed, “Why dont you come closer and check p>
Nael studied her.
Seeming to sense what might happen, he still bent forward and brought his face close.
Slap!
The blow knocked his head sideways. He said nothing and turned his face back toward her.
Fmished
Watching his reddened cheek, Lyra’s own eyes stung with tears. Yet anger outweighed everything else
inside her.
Slap!
Nael turned his face a third time.
No second slap followed.
Lyra regarded him with almost icy detachment.
“If you will not speak, I will not ask anymore. The fact remains you lied to me.
“Get out. Never show yourself to me again p>
Nael froze, staring at her in disbelief.
“No p>
His eyes grew wet. He seized her wrist tightly.
“Lyra… don’t do this. I never meant to deceive you, I p>
Lyra wrenched her hand free with force.
“And you’re still claiming you didn’t mean to p>
“You approached me fully knowing who I am!
“You told me you held no interest in power. What a fool I was to believe you!
“If you would not speak before, then stay silent forever!
“Get out! I never want to see you again p>

Chapter 435 Broken Trust
The sharp output from the Star Brain echoed clearly out of the bedroom.
Anyone listening could feel Lyra’s burning rage and unyielding resolve.
Jessa glanced toward the small group standing outside, her gaze speaking volumes.
Reid looked away.
Wren murmured, “Jessa, things have already come to this p>
Finished
August stroked his chin without a shred of remorse. “So she doesn’t have a personal guard beside her anymore… ”
Specter shot him a furious glare. “Are you out of your mind p>
August turned his head, eyes glinting with amusement. “You’re just figuring that out now p>
Specter rolled his eyes.
Silence fell once more as the confrontation inside dragged on.
Lyra would not spare Nael another word. She had given him every chance, and he had wasted them all.
She called Jessa inside to force him out.
Nael knelt beside her bed, red–rimmed eyes fixed on her face.
“Lyra… won’t you at least hear my explanation, understand what I went through p>
Lyra typed, “Your reason was to deceive and use me?
“Jessa! Make him leave p>
Alerted by Lyra’s explosive outburst, the others hurried into the room and dragged Nael away.
Lyra collapsed back onto the bed, gasping for breath in raw anger.
Her blazing eyes locked onto every one of these deceivers.
“Alright, alright, don’t work yourself up. He is just a Sentinel, not worth this pain…” Jessa stayed behind to soothe her.
Lyra’s face stayed dark, her chest heaving fast.
After a moment, she turned her head, tears already pooling in her eyes.
“Jessa… am I the stupidest, most gullible person alive p>
Jessa stepped over to her, filled with pity. “No. You are only too kind, and that gave people like him an opening to hurt you p>

Lyra grabbed Jessa’s hand and leaned sideways into her warm, fragrant embrace.
She looked as though she wept from hurt, yet her eyes stayed cold, fixed rigidly on the doorway.
Outside. Nael tore free from the men holding him. determined to go back to explain himself to Lyra.
Reid smiled and blocked his path. “What good would that do right now p>
Nael’s brows knotted tight. “I still have to make her understand I didn’t do it on purpose p>
Jasper shook his head mockingly. “She doesn’t believe you p>
He tilted his head, studying the bright red mark across Nael’s check.
“If you take a few more slaps. you’ll have a hard time explaining yourself when you return p>
Nael froze.
Specter stared at him coldly, blunt and unsparing.
“You used her. There’s no changing that. You failed to draw the line, and now you want to have it both ways. Life doesn’t work like that p>
Avery spoke up. “You never should have come here at this moment p>
Nael’s gaze dropped. “I was worried about her p>
Especially after learning she was injured, how could he possibly sit still?
Reid chuckled. “Where did all that ruthless drive go, the one your used against your own father p>
Nael lifted his eyes. “That is completely different p>
His expression darkened as he spoke.
Reid said casually, “Different? You could bring harm to your birth father, How long have you even known Lyra
Nael’s features turned icy. “I killed him to seize that office so Lyra could live freely and happily on Core Prime I refused to let her suffer the same threats and restraints I endured growing up!
Tm grateful you removed those who stood in my way, but that doesn’t give you the right to judge my choices”
Jasper spread both hands. “Well, look where it landed you. You’ll sit alone in that empty office
Nael shot him a sharp look, then locked eyes with Reid, his tone frigid.
“When I wrap up my affairs back home, I’ll return for her. Keep her safe. If anything else happens to her. I’ll hold every one of you accountable”

Reid met his gaze calmly, smiling without a single word.
Fir day
As Lyra’s injuries healed and she could get out of bed, she no longer spent all her hours staring silently out the window.
Instead, she dragged Specter into endless gaming sessions.
After several days of playing the same few games, however, she lost interest.
“I’m bored of these. Do you have anything else p>
Specter nodded quickly. “Sure! I’ll pull some up for you p>
Lyra glanced over and frowned in open distaste.
“Why is it always these single–player games? Can’t you find something more engaging p>
Specter hesitated.
“…Your Star Brain cannot run online content right now p>
Lyra’s mood soured. “What, you gave me this cheap, broken device p>
Specter waved his hands frantically. “No, no! It has access restrictions. Network connections are locked down p>
Lyra typed. “Unlock it for me. I’ll go crazy stuck playing these mind–dead single–player games p>
Specter stalled. “But p>
Seeing him stall, Lyra’s temper snapped, and she slammed the Star Brain hard against the floor and spun back into her room.
Specter hurried after her to apologize, yet Lyra shut the door firmly in his face.
“Guide…” Specter banged softly on the door, voice pleading.
“Please don’t be mad. I’ll dig up other games for you, okay p>
Silence answered him from inside.
Specter felt completely helpless.
Lyra had only just started treating him somewhat tolerably. He hated falling back to square one.
Glancing all around, he circled around to the outer wall.
Inside the bedroom, Lyra sat on the bed. She heard Specter’s voice very close by.
Turning, she spotted him clinging to the window ledge, his head poking in, staring at her pleadingly.

“Guide p>
Lyra kept her face hard and turned away.
Specter’s heart sank. “Tell me what you want. Fll play with you. Just don’t stay afgry p>
Lyra kept her back toward him.
“Anything,” he begged. “Even online games, alright p>
At those words, Lyra finally looked over.
She lifted one eyebrow, as if asking, Really?
Specter nodded hard. “I swear it. If they object… I’ll sneak it for you p>
Satisfied at last, Lyra stood and walked over to open the door.
Specter dropped down from the window and hurried inside.
He picked up the damaged Star Brain from the floor. “This one is broken. Should I get you a new one p>
Lyra’s eyelids drooped lazily, and she gave a reluctant nod.
