Cecilia was terrified as she watched Lucas pacing around the room, his hands clutching the back of his head. She could occasionally hear him snort as if he was suppressing his rage and frustration. His disappointment was visible on his face. The thought that he was upset with her made her sad.
"Lucas…" Her voice was barely audible as she called out to him. "We kept her identity hidden only to save her. Mamma forbade her from using her magic so that the Queen of Crotia could not find her."
Queen of Crotia made Lucas stall on the spot and frown at her.
Cecilia licked her lips and continued with her trembling heart, "The Queen of Crotia was the one who murdered her parents. She has been after her ever since. It was Eleanor's mother's protection shield that she was not able to locate her until now. But…" She stopped talking, hesitating to say the next words.
"And what?" Lucas grunted out.
"She used her magic for the first time on Zane."
