The elder wondered the halls of the castle as she cautiously glanced down each hall, window, and behind her once in a great while. Though, when she looked out a certain window, the elder could see her eldest grandson urging other daemos' to fight him, all of them glancing at one another as if he was some crazy man.

Lady Grandma watched her grandson beat the daemos' in one go before sighing as she watched him run the halls, chasing down the guard as he put them in a head lock. The elder called out for the boy who whined.

"Meemaw! I'm in a middle of a battle!" Rhal exclaimed before his grandmother glared at him and immediately began stuttering. Lady grandma growled lowly before walking over to her grandson and pulling him by the ear.

"The king has requested both our presences." The elder mumbled as the future king tensed up. Rhal sighed as she grumbled how he didn't want to see father causing Lady Grandma to chuckle. After discussing about the meetings he has missed, the elder dragged him by the ear once again and made their way over to the king's room.

Noi held Lyra in his arms and he mumbled how he'll protect her at all cost. His hands shook as he held the sick human in his arms, bridal style. The daemos locked himself and the human inside the close so the both of them could be safe from the "monster".

Ms. Oates, on the other side of the door, knocking on the wooden surface yelling for Noi and asking if he was alright. Noi glared at the door as he began to speak his thoughts, asking what the elder was doing and wonder if she was gonna help Lyra or not.

Ms. Oates chuckled "My late husband didn't like sudden loud noises either, so I completely understand if you were bothered. I apologize!" The elder called out before explaining how she much dry Lyra's hair or she'll get even more sick. "You want to help Lyra, right?"

Noi gently moved the human to his other arm to keep her balanced while the other twisting the door knob, cracking it open just a bit. "L-Lyra will be safe... right?" The daemos asked cautiously causing the elder to chuckle and nod.

Sensing the calm aura in the room, Noi held Lyra bridal style once more before using his foot to open the door more so he could exit. The elder smiled before suggesting for the male to wait in the other room if he felt more comfortable that way.

"No! I want to help Lyra get better!" Noi exclaimed, making sure not to be so loud. Ms. Oates chuckled before complementing on how sweet and nice the young man was causing Noi to have a saddened look. Daemos' were supposed to be a threat to humans yet this elder saw them nice? It bewildered Noi...

The elder then joked how it must be difficult to share such a young, fine woman with the others causing Noi to be confuse and hummed with a brow quirked up. "Oh we'll take about that later, come now, let's dry her hair!"

With that, Ms. Oates walked to the counter and picked up the hairdryer and began to dry Lyra's hair while Noi picked out what looked cozy and comfortable.

Meanwhile, the four other daemos' wondered the scared mall in order to find the market. They all stood in front of a store with big letters spelling out "GIULIO". Rhys then hummed in satisfaction how it wasn't such a long walk while Leif whined how they could've gotten here faster.
