Lumiere & Lucretia
---
(POV: Lumiere)
Lucretia was dead?
I thought nothing would surprise me for the rest of that week, but it seemed I was wrong.
It sounded so sudden that it looked like a joke to me.
There were chances that if Stellaria or Anastasia were the ones who told me that, then it'd likely be them trying to motivate me in the most tactless manner possible. But Simone wasn't like that. I didn't know much about her, but she wasn't the sort of person to joke about such a critical matter.
It had to be true...
"What do you mean Lucretia's dead?"
The words burst out of me, disbelief filling every syllable.
Deep concern etched into my features.
The way I asked should've come out as concerned and worried, but my tone was so indifferent that it sounded like I didn't care. But as much as she frustrated me, death wasn't the right thing for her.
