Trouble

Lucius had expected the ceremony to be dramatic and perhaps even bordering on chaos due to the presence of various races, but it turned out that the Prince had a strong desire to protect his bride.

As Lucius gazed at the Prince, a sneer formed within him. Reflecting on the past, he was certain that the Prince had used this marriage as a way to take the attention away from that maze. Collaborating with the King, Maximilian must have already laid a trap for the attendees.

"Your Grace... I did not expect to see you here."Duke Kier Antonecu's greeting caught Lucius off guard. He hadn't sensed the other Duke approaching at all. "Why would the Duke of Imperion conceal himself in a place like this?" Duke Kier inquired. The Duke's smile seemed increasingly unsettling the more Lucius stared at him. Why had this man even come here? Lucius wondered.
