Silence raided the chamber like a thief.
Elian watched Lucien's shocked face for a while and scoffed.
"That's what I thought..." Elian mumbled, lowering his head.
He wasn't going to let himself get disappointed by Lucien's reaction. He knew the Duke wasn't going to be as reactive as he was when he thought the captain was guilty.
This was about his lovely wife-to-be; how could he possibly react violently?
Lucien sighed, lowering his gaze to Elian's lowered head. He stared at Elian for a while, trying to think of the best response that would be suitable for the moment. He was still battling his shock from Elian's reveal, and he was also finding it hard to believe.
Yes, Elian was a Truth Seeker, but he also knew that Elian did not like the princess; therefore, he might say it to spite her.
"Are you sure?" Lucien murmured, pushing his hands into his pockets.
