Emilia stared silently at Lucas.
She was suddenly curious about the matter regarding Jurua and how it even came to live in his body.
Jurua was said to be dead, and many claimed to have witnessed his death.
"Aren't you curious?" Lucas suddenly asked, as if reading her thoughts.
Emilia was startled and turned away slowly.
"I am, but also very worried," she answered.
If Jurua could imitate Lucas even when he wasn't there, the palace might be in jeopardy.
Lucas turned to Emilia, seeing the concern in her eyes, and smiled,
recalling the years of torture from Jurua and how the incident came to be, which made his heart heavy.
True to the priest's threat, his father died from a miserable illness and another demand came from the priest
days after he was crowned.
Lucas had traveled down to Valrid to speak with the priest in person.
Two hundred unmarried virgins for an appeasing sacrifice was just ridiculous.
