In spite of the fact that there's a distinct possibility that someone in this party wants to either kidnap or kill Lucas for the information in his brain, Lucas maintains that same cheerful attitude as he flits back and forth, getting little to nothing at all out of any of them.
At least, nothing that leads to our mystery.
Most of them are arrogant and self absorbed, and vain, and the amount of stupidity they exhibit is actually staggering.
In the time since we left Edward, the things I've heard these nobles say...it's frankly astounding they survived past infancy.
I make sure to keep Lucas in sight and in my periphery at all times, keeping a lookout for anything strange. There are so many guards all around it doesn't matter much, but I trust no one in this situation.
Even the guards can be bought for the right amount of money.
