"I think we have heard you enough Lucien", said Igor.

" Father I beg you to let me speak", he said again.

"Alright speak", said Igor.

" I had asked her to spy on the HLA for me. She had been going under my instruction so far. It is she who has helped me find their headquarters, but she got hurt by Amir. They found out her true intention. I saved her life as a payback for what she did for me", said Lucien.

"So you are telling me that she is a war hero?", he asked his voice sarcastic.

" In a way ", he said quietly.

" But it sounds as though you are trying to save her", said Igor.

"I'm not, father. I don't want to save her. She is nothing but trouble", he said.

" I'm glad you finally recognised it. However Is it true that you have helped Lucien?", asked Igor.

"Yes I was working as a spy for Lucien", said me. I didn't say that I helped him. I didn't want to lie. I hate it and would prefer half-truths to lies any day.
