"Levina?" He looked at her with surprise. "Why were you running?" he asked, frowning.
"That was the only way to catch up with you. I need to talk to you," she said, placing her hand on her waist as she gasped for breath.
Lucien nodded and continued walking, with Levina following closely behind.
"Remember what I told you about last night?" she asked him, looking up at him. When he didn't respond, she continued, "About the wizard and someone trying to kill you." She lowered her voice and looked around to see if anyone was nearby.
"Not right now, Levina," Lucien replied coldly.
"This is important," Levina raised her voice in annoyance. "Someone is trying to hurt you and you are--"
"Levina!" he yelled, causing Levina to step back in surprise. He stopped and turned to face her. "There are no more witches in Arvenia. The king made sure of that."
