"I give you one second to tell me who sent you, or else.." The threat was evident in his tone and the maid squealed on the floor but didn't answer him.
"Speak!" His voice thundered in the room and the maid squirmed fearfully.
"I-i your Highness it was-" She began but fell on the floor to her back. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she jerked continuously, she arched her back and a bone chilling scream was heard. After that she slumped on the floor unmoving.
A pin drop silence was heard next as everyone couldn't understand what just happened. Did that maid just die without anyone moving?.
That was the Question that bothered everyone but then the next suspect was Lucas who stared suspiciously at the maid's unmoving body. Was he the one that killed her?.
Lisa looked at Lucas and then at the maid who layed on the floor. What just happened?.
"Lucas..is she?." She asked him and Lucas confirmed her thoughts.
"She is dead, and this wasn't committed by suicide. This was murder in broad daylight."
Even he was yet to discover the method through which this maid had died.
"Your Highness." Theodore stepped forward and bowed."The three leaders are here."
Lucas nodded and ordered" You maids are dismissed."
The maids immediately moved, scurrying out of the dining. Theodore picked up the body on the floor and dragged it out of the dining room heartlessly.
"Who are the leaders Lucas?" Lisa questioned as she had finally snapped out of the shock she just witnessed. She watched as Lucas observed the table and before her very eyes all the food disappeared and new ones replaced them.
"That should do the trick." He mumbled to himself and turned to face her.
"Always so curious, haven't you heard the saying, curiousity killed the cat?."
"A cat has nine lives Lucas." She smiled in triumph knowing that she won that argument.
"They are something like my acquaintances." he answered.
"Well that is quite harsh Lucas, I will say we are close friends." A beautiful female voice said and Lisa almost fainted when she saw where the voice came from. One thought rang in her mind.
'Handsome, more handsome, super hot!.'
The woman that spoke was an out of this world beauty. She had long silver hair, Siver brows and beautiful silver irises to go with it. She wore a tight-fitted black gown and had a small smile on her face.
The man next to her was a piece of priceless art work and was he literally waving at her?. He had red fiery hair and oddly coloured red eyes to go with it. Surprisingly, he had a bright friendly smile on his face while waving and she shyly waved back.
She heard Theodore say they were three so where was the third one?.
Moving her gaze off them, she sighted someone already on the table and she was sure that her heart stopped at that second.
If Lucas was the ice prince, then this guy was totally his brother.
Short blonde hair, sky blue eyes, a face that she could die for and the whole aura around him was challenging and cold.
So very cold.
Lucas noticed that her eyes lingered more than needed on Ezekiel and he didn't like it one bit. He pulled her hand, snapping her out of her trance and they made their way to the table.
Nobody spoke, all they did was quietly eat and Lisa wasn't keen on eating more food when it was just a few minutes ago that she was poisoned.
She watched Lucas fill her plate until there was no more space and some of her appetite came back after seeing the wonderful food.
Nothing could separate her from food.
Before she could pick up her spoon, Lucas picked it for her and scooped some food into it, bringing it to her face.
They locked eyes with each other, conversing through their eyes.
His eyes said'Open your mouth.'
And mine said 'Hell no!.'
He bent over, whispering into her ears." Open your mouth little deer or I'll force it open with mine"
Hearing that, she quickly opened her mouth and he put the food in.
"Good girl" He commended and she scoffed.
Finally the silver haired woman spoke"Lisa, it's so nice to meet you. Actually we have a lot to catch up on and I hope we can be the best of friends." She said sweetly.
Lisa nodded her head and smiled in response" Of course."
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Celestial, Queen of all light witches and this red hair here is Sebastian and that block of ice over there is Ezekiel."
Lisa gaped, stunned by her identity" You're a witch?"
She smiled brightly in response"Yes I am."
"Seems like you're one too." It was Ezekiel that spoke and she couldn't help but shiver at the lack of emotion it carried.
'Definately lucas' brother'
She opened her mouth to speak but Lucas used that opportunity to stuff food in her mouth making her glare at him which he ignored blandly and used the same spoon to feed himself.
Before Lucas could put another spoon in her mouth, she asked"So how did you guys become friends with Lucas?"
"Oh that?, it's a long story." Sebastian answered with a playful smile.
"We all actually had our private reason to team up. I a dragon, Celestial a witch, Ezekiel a reaper and Lucas a demon. It was a weird combination actually, but it made us stronger than any force in existence. And these rulers positions...we got these positions by killing the last ones of course."
Lisa listened quietly but then noticed that Lucas had stopped feeding her. He seemed lost.
She remembered that Lucas had told her he was a guardian but Sebastian didn't mention that.
"But Lucas said he was a guardian." She asked and both Celestial and Sebastian shared looks before Ezekiel spoke.
"Do you think a demon as strong as Lucas will one day decide to change for good and become a guardian?. No, those damn witches somehow figured out his stupid weakness!."
