Chapter 62 - Trust the Devil (part 1)

The spymaster realized that the woman didn't seem to like Lucien... He was proud to know people well and had to give his opinion, even if he would never go against her orders...

"My Lady, Princess Marie seems to like him a lot. Not only her but also Queen Cassidy and the other women in his group."

"You said he is very handsome... I understand, he is young and energetic, but..."

In fact, the spymaster liked Lucien very much. He did not like the stupid royal guard, who ran his hand over all the women who entered the castle... And he did not like the damn King, who he was obliged to serve... Lucien put the two in their places, and the spymaster couldn't help but be happy.

"My Lady, he went against the King the same second he was rude to Marie... I don't know if she can find another man like that..."

The woman looked sternly at the spymaster. "Do you also want to enter his harem? Damn, I understand everything you said... But..."

"BUT?!?!" The woman quickly turned when she heard Lucien's voice; her hands started to glow with blue light. The spymaster made a quick move and drew a sword while standing in front of the woman.

(Spymaster) "Lucien, what are you doing here?"

Lucien continued walking towards them. Everything was very dark, but the blue light on the hooded woman's hands revealed part of Lucien's body when he was less than a hundred meters from them.

(Lucien) "You talk to me as if we know each other, but we were never introduced..."

(Spymaster) "I didn't mean to offend you... Please stop approaching."

The spymaster's sword trembled, and Lucien knew that it was not a technique but fear... Lucien saw this man speak fearlessly to a King, lie to him, and meet with another person in the shadows to give information that he did not even provide the King...

But now, he was afraid? Why? Lucien was confused, but then he looked at the mysterious woman, and he understood.

(Lucien) "Do you think I would do something to my beloved mother-in-law? I just came here to kill you... This has nothing to do with her."

(Hooded woman) "You..."

(Lucien) "Me what? We come here because your daughter said we would have allies... But all I see are people plotting in the shadows... Do you know what I think? Marie would be a great Queen
