Just as Anastasia sensed on their first meeting, Lyssandre was probably no human.
He has this otherworldly presence that seems to always make her blood run cold. Shivers keep running down her spine as she continues exchanging looks with him. She's barely holding herself together at this point.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Anastasia becomes so curious and soon obsessed with Lucien back then. The deepness and mysteries looming over him and his background - they drew her in without her realizing.
"Father, please..." Lucien pleaded all of the sudden, turning to his father.
