As we have fun in the crowd, we couldn't help but notice Lucius walking towards us with a tray of drinks in his hands, a broad smile adorning his face. He seemed to blend in effortlessly, engaging in conversations and handing out drinks to the villagers. It was a stark contrast to the unsettling scene we had witnessed earlier at Eliana's house.
Just a couple of minutes before we returned to the celebration, we spotted Lucius emerging from the forest.
I couldn't help but notice the anxiety and nervousness on Lucius' face, despite his attempts to maintain a cheerful demeanor. It became clear that he was not as adept at hiding his true emotions as he may have thought. His facial expressions betrayed a sense of unease and discomfort, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation.
