"What in the world?" Lucas exclaimed as soon as he saw Athanasia, accidentally slamming his door shut, but the resignation on her face told him that something had gone wrong. At first, he tried to ask her about what happened, but it didn't take a genius to figure it out. So, instead of interrogating her, he embraced her and rubbed the maiden's back in a gesture of comfort. "What do you say we spend some time roaming town?"
Although he asked, Lucas didn't give Athanasia a chance to refuse, just as he knew that she would, because he wanted to give her this last chance to live. "Surely, that useless man would search for her, whether to kill her or by instinct to keep her close."

The streets of Obelia greeted the princess with music so loud that her heart couldn't help but jump to the rhythm, and Lucas had to scream over the volume. "Hurry up. We don't have much time."
Lucas laughed as she stumbled after him, wrapping an arm around her waist to keep her steady. And, as they walked through the busy streets, he couldn't help but hold her closer to him. The ocean sparkled within her eyes, filled with joy and pleasant surprise. While her eyes glanced from one stall to another, Athanasia's smile gleamed, filling her lover with warmth. It was then that he knew how much he would do for that smile, even if it was rip Obelia apart and set the whole empire on fire. "Anything for you to keep that smile."
But, her smile shattered when they bumped into a man, one with dark hair and even darker eyes. Athanasia gasped, noting that it was the man from her debutante, the one who looked distinctly like Claude. Her heart beat furiously against her fear, her desperation to survive, and she grabbed Lucas by the hand before she ran.

Lucas turned his head towards that stranger, watching as the crowd parted for the dangerous man. Dark eyes glanced at him with hunger in his eyes, and he felt distinctly violated. He wanted to kill the man. Subconsciously, his mana ripped through the air, sending Athanasia to the side with a loud yell. She crashed against a stall and fell to the ground, watching the crowd vanish when the fight began. Her lover laughed, his eyes filled with murderous intent, but Athanasia couldn't laugh with him. Not when she felt so close to her death.
