Everything was happening too fast for Lucas to understand. One minute he was walking beside the princess and another minute he was in handcuffs being carried to the prison for a crime he knows nothing about. His only crime was being the brother to the suspected invaders of the palace.
What was troubling to him the most was how Vampire like Luca should be able to lead werewolves into the palace secretly if he had no help from an insider in the palace.
He has vowed not to believe anyone untile he has spoken to his brother face to face to discuss what was happening. His major concern was the safety of Princess Joan without him by her side he feared for her safety because he was sure there was a plot against her hence Rose was caught inbetween the fire.
Has he was being led to the prison located just after the lodge for the ministers he was confronted with the scene of his mother being carried away by some strange men who he suspected to be werewolves.
