#Chapter84
/"You took a wife without informing your father, son?/" Alder gave a pretentious amused chuckle as he sized down the newly wedded pair.
His eyes glanced over the intertwined hands to the pleasant smiles on each of their faces. If someone said Lucius and Madonna were not in love, then he would debate a whole day certainly. Their affection for each other was glowing brightly on their faces.
/"You are not the only one, Milord./" Madonna replied in her husband’s stead with much needed sarcasm dripping in her tone. Madonna had to bite down the smirk taking over her skillful void face.
Madonna shouldn’t show her true feelings to Alder. She wanted to use the lack of knowledge of their true relationship as a benefit to mystify Alder and stall some time to find Fina. She wanted Alder to not show any of his interest in Lucius or her and just let them be on their own.
