After leaving the baron alone with Alfred in the study, Theo and Lucien stepped out at the same time.
Lucien glanced at the mantis several times, biting his lips. A shiver ran down his spine whenever he looked away from it.
"Mantis, get inside the beast space. I will get you some food soon," Theo muttered out loud, giving Lucien a bit of relief.
The mantis made a few noises before turning into a flash of light and entering the beast space.
Seeing this, Lucien let out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you, Theo," Lucien said, stretching his arms and neck.
"Anytime, big brother."
An awkward silence followed along the way until they finally reached a crossroads where they parted towards their rooms in different directions.
Lucien looked at him and spoke calmly. "I expect you to get ready in two hours. We will be leaving together. Sir Knight probably might have already been informed that he needs to accompany us."
Theo nodded.
