Back in Evie's chambers.
Lucius was shocked at everything that Evie had written to him in her letter. And now that he was reading the last remaining part, his expression became darker and darker.
'Father, I suspect that this must be a trap for Lorcan to get rid of you! They only want to use you to kill my husband and once they get what they want, they would definitely do something to you! Believe me father, they had tried to kill me because they planned for a war to spark between you and my husband. However, my husband saw through their plans and that's why Gavriel and I escaped from the capital. He was the one to decide to bring me to a safe place. He was labelled a traitor because he saved me! He is not the enemy. If he is a monster, would I still look this fine by now? You won't be able to find a single scratch on me, father. He never treated me badly because he loves me dearly. You can tell, right father?'
