Leaving Lucius to think, William and Natalia started eating calming down from the fight they just had. However, something was bothering Natalia. She wanted to say something, but she wondered about the reaction it would cause.
Lucius noticed her troubled expression and realized she was hiding something. ''Natalia, what else?'' he asked, taking a bite of the boar.
''This... Lucius, I am afraid to say,'' she said, her head down. ''Promise me you won't attack me,'' she whispered.
''If it's something you didn't cause, I won't attack you,'' he assured her, making sure there were no loopholes.
Taking a deep breath, she exchanged glances with William and then continued, ''It's about Lily.''
Lucius stopped eating and focused his attention. ''Did you say 'Lily'?" he asked, making sure he didn't mishear.
Natalia hurriedly nodded as Lucius's aura grew more intimidating. "She's not dead, don't worry," she added quickly.
