Lucien huffed in amusement. But he knew Soren was right, he had to find her before it was too late. Even if she doesn't forgive him, at least he would be at peace knowing that he tried.
Lucien cleared his throat, "Do you by any chance know where I can find this female?"
Soren chuckled, patting Lucien's shoulder.

Zarek's room was bustling, with maids moving in and out. Lucretia almost bumped into one of the maids, carrying a handful of Zarek's coats, on her way into the room. The maid had bowed her head, muttering apologies under her breath. Lucretia ignored her, she had more problems to concern herself with and Zarek was one of them.
She had difficulty finding Zarek between all the men and ladies hovering inside the room.
"Why are these people here?" She asked with a frown.
Zarek smiled upon seeing his mother, he had been expecting her since his father made the announcement. He knew she would disapprove and would try to talk him out of it.
