*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
“Open the door, you fucking bastard!”
Lucas shouted in rage as he continue to bang on the door in front of him.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
“Open the fucking door!”
Seeing him acting like that, the servants who were walking around frowned in confusion, however, no one dared to step up.
The Fourth Prince was drunk again, they didn’t plan to get themselves involved in this stupid thing.
“Open the-”
Lucas shouted again, however, this time, the door was opened by Leo, who frowned.
“Master Lucas?”
“I need to see Lovis.”
Lucas spoke.
“Master Lucas is cultivating righ-”
“I don’t care! I need to see him, now!”
Lucas raised his voice.
Seeing that, Leo frowned.
Just why the hell does everyone talk to his master so badly? Was his master always that popular? Or was there something special going on today?
Leo couldn’t understand.
And he didn’t try to understand either.
He just needed to perform his duty as the butler properly.
“Please come in and have a seat, Master Lucas. I will go and pass your message to Master Lovis.”
He bowed his head but just as he turned around, Lucas spoke.
“I don’t have time to wait, I need to talk to him right now!”
Saying that, Lucas walked in and started walking towards the Cultivation Chamber.
“Master Lucas, you can’t!”
Leo shouted, if it was anyone else, he would have stopped him by force, however, Lucas was a prince, and he couldn’t possibly use force against him. Not until his or his master’s life was in any sort of danger.
However, just as Lucas was about to walk into Lovis’s Cultivation Chamber, the doors of the Chamber opened and Lovis walked out.
With a frown on his face, he glanced at Lucas, then he glanced at Leo and nodded.
Leo nodded back and walked away.
When Leo laughed, Lovis glanced at Lucas and narrowed his eyes.
“Why are you here? You shouldn’t be here, don’t you know that. There are too many eyes in this Palace. You and I can’t be linked together right now.”
Hearing those words, Lucas’s rage soared even higher.
“You dare act like that after all this!?”
“What are you talking about?”
Lovis frowned.
“You think you will plan to imprison me and I wouldn’t know?
You bastard, you dare go against me when I am the reason why you are so confident in winning the Throne in the first place!? Huh!?”
Lovis was shocked.
How did he know!?
He couldn’t believe it.
However, he didn’t show his shock on his face, he kept his frown on his face and continued,
“Just what are you talking about? Are you out of your mind, why would I try to imprison you? Who told you this stupid thing?”
Lovis questioned.
For him, fooling Lucas was simple, just act as if nothing happen and soon, Lucas would start doubting himself.
Not only that, he would even tell him who told him everything and once he gets the name, Lovis was planning to get rid of that bastard.
However, this time, things didn’t go as he planned,
Rather than doubting himself, Lucas just threw a paper on Lovis’s face.
Lovis caught the paper and started reading, soon, however, his eyes widened in surprise.
“You think you can fake your way out of this!? Do you think I am a fool!?”
Lucas shouted in rage.
“…”
This time, however, Lovis didn’t have an answer.
He couldn’t believe it.
This letter…
Just how did Lucas get his hands on this letter?
How is this possible?
He had a talk with Evane just a few hours ago, just how…
Suddenly, a theory popped into Lovis’s mind.
However, before he could think too much, Lucas walked towards him and warned.
“Look Lovis, I don’t know what you think of me, however, I am not as big of a fool as you think I am.
Do not treat me like a tool.
If I can give you a direct way to the Throne, I can take it away as well.”
Lucas then walked even close to Lovis and threatened.
“I am just a drunkard, Lovis. I have nothing to lose.
You, however, are different.
You are talented, you have worked hard, and you have a bright future ahead of you.
However, If you do not give me a reasonable expression within a week,
I will destroy you.
Even if I have to sacrifice myself in the process.”
Saying those words, Lucas turned around and left.
“…”
All this while, Lovis didn’t say anything and even after Lucas left, he just stayed silent.
He was fooled.
He was fooled by his ‘Naïve’ Sister.
He got too greedy.
3 Dukes supporting him would have cemented his position as the next King.
Blinded by his greed, he underestimated both, Evane and Lucas.
He took Lucas for a granted.
A drunkard like you, what can he possibly do in front of him? Nothing, he could do nothing.
Then there’s Evane.
His Naïve and stupid sister.
That idiot was thinking about getting rid of her brother’s alcohol addiction rather than thinking about the Throne. That Idiot nearly cried in front of everyone just because a drunkard spoke a few things to her.
Someone like her could never become the Ruler of this Kingdom.
She never stood a chance.
That was his thoughts.
However, he finally realized how wrong he was.
Lucas was a lot more aggressive than he thought he would be.
He was not the Lucas who could just be fooled by giving him a beautiful woman. He has changed, and though still stupid, he was now ‘less’ stupid.
As for Evane.
That Bitch.
Rather than a naïve girl, she was a scheming bitch who planned this all from the start.
Lovis realized.
He had to do something about that bitch.
She was a threat.
A threat he had to deal with as soon as possible.
First, he would need to patch up with Lucas.
He was his trump card right now, however, before doing that, he had to meet that bitch first.
After all, he needed a scapegoat to direct Lucas’s anger on.
Thinking about it, a cold smile appeared on Lovis’s face.
