Minister Lucas was in the room waiting for Aurora, he accepted the offer, and he saw it as an opportunity to warn Aurora about her father.
He appreciated Jericho for telling the King to give Aurora away as his visitor gift – He was finding his way to tell the king without raising suspicions when Jericho spoke up.
Jericho speaking appeased him of his tense, telling Aurora face to face, might put him in trouble, he thought of hiding his face behind a curtain.
He couldn't say whether Aurora would believe him or not, instead, he decided to hide his face behind a curtain, whenever he heard the door unlocking.
Minister Lucas roamed around the room, thinking about the best way to stage the whole thing, without raising alarm, he didn't want Alpha Malik to get suspicious of him, and nor did he want Aurora to doubt him likewise.
