Suddenly Nobles

Lucas's Puzzle and the Arrival of Her Ladyship

The sun's orange shadows from the eastern horizon began to decorate the universe. Eve returned to her clean room, completely untouched. In a few minutes the servants would knock on the door to wake him up, just like normal activity. Xerr— ah, that means Lucas. The man could still sit casually on the edge of the balcony while occasionally throwing small talk towards Eve who was busy pacing back and forth.

"Why not go home yet" said Eve for the umpteenth time. He sighed tired. "If someone finds you here, your image in their eyes will change, and your actions in the future will be doubted by the nobles. Very influential. Better to avoid trouble than be affected by it."

Lucas. "Why think of me?"

"Why don't you think about your own image. A man is free to enter your room. It's a lot worse than your concern for me. Any man would not want to marry a woman who has such a bad image, if you remember," he said seriously.

"For that I don't care what people think." Eve melengos's.

"I'm just doing what I like, not doing what people want."

Lucas. Come to think of it, this Lumiere girl's mentality can be too. He was not worried at all about the impact of Lucas' visit.

"Just calm. From the beginning I always noticed the situation around. I dare guarantee that no one has seen us both here." He looks. "After all." she hesitates, "I will always be willing if no one will marry you."

"Yes. Good then. At least you're safe" Eve replied again. For Lucas' last sentence, not Eve gubris. His face turned red, and he couldn't help it.

Without them noticing, each of them were equally worried about each other. Minutes by minutes followed by silence. There is no sense of awkwardness between them, it is precisely a sense of comfort that they want to hug tightly so that this precious moment does not pass quickly. But unfortunately their desire did not last long.

"I think I should go home."

Eve raised her next to her eyebrows. "Lastily so. When asked not to obey. What's wrong?"

"Heard someone's footsteps walking in here. From the rhythm of his stomp, it seemed to be Lord Lumiero." Lucas sharpened his hearing. "good. I think I should go now. Good bye."

Lucas crunched forward and landed his lips on Eve's forehead so that the girl made him stiff as a board. Grinning amusedly, in an instant Lucas jumped and disappeared from the sight of Eve who was still fixated in shock instead of playing.

His heart is beating fast. Damn it, what did Lucas do to him to such a great effect?!

"Even."

A call from the outside accompanied by a door that was knocked several times could finally help Eve return to the real world. The blonde girl was flabbergasted, Lucas' intuition was right. Without waiting for long, Eve immediately approached the door and opened it slowly.

"Are you okay?" Declan's worried face became the first thing he saw.

Eve smiled stiffly. Suddenly his memory returned to a few hours ago, precisely when the Lumiere warrior chased after him. Ah, the Duke's favorite soldier must have reported his behavior.

"Of course there's no problem. Everything's good."

"It was like hearing someone else's voice. Male voice. From your room." Declan frowned dislike. "You're hiding someone?"

Eve slips. "What are you saying, don't just accuse!" said lying.

"Then, you shouldn't mind, right, if I go inside."

Without waiting for the approval of Eve as the owner of the room, Declan pushed the door wide and then stepped foot with certainty into the large room neatly arranged and neat. Just as usual, the room was quiet, there was nothing she was worried about.

After checking the closet and some corners that allow the body of an adult man to infiltrate, Declan walked towards the balcony. There's nothing wrong so far and Eve is very grateful for it. Not wrong, Lucas is so good at removing traces like a master thief.

"You eat here?"

The plate of leftover apples that Lucas ate last night is still sitting on the balcony. Eve smiled thinly.

"Yes. Looking at the stars up there. Very delightful. Next time you should also try it so that your burden is reduced a little," Eve replied smoothly.

"Not interested."

"Huh, bottom," dumel Eve pouted. He then noticed Declan's face. "By the way you look unwell. Is there a problem bothering you?"

At first Declan only glanced at his little sister at a glance. Ah, but there's no harm either, right, if he wants to share a little grievance?

"His Royal Highness asked for something difficult."

"His Royal Highness Prince Lucas?" said Eve made sure and of course got the nod from Declan. "What does he want from you?"

"Finding out the leader of the Nyx Knights," he said short. Declan decided to sit on one of the wooden chairs on the balcony, accompanied by Eve next to him. "Yesternight my men managed to get one of them, but lost track of it while searching. Actually it was the fault of my own men who chose to chase after them, not call well and of course it caused a misunderstanding. Now it feels like finding information about them has become much more impossible."

"Who is the Nyx Knight?"

Eve mangosteen. "That Nyx Knight means this is pretty important, huh."

"It's not just 'enough', but 'very", Declan answered correcting. "We have to make sure the Nyx Knights actually side with the royal family. Because if they refuse, it could be .. they take power. The coup."

"With that?" exclaimed Eve without covering up her shock.

Declan nodded. "Strong as that."

Eve was silent. For some reason, his instincts say Lucas is closely related to this. "Does the Nyx Knight have any special features to the point that you guys are so sure you've found one of them?"

"They wear horseman badges. The badge was used as an identification to enter their headquarters which is also not clear where it is."

Horse badge ... Centaurs!

Like a wisp of thread, Eve tried to digest every piece of information she had gotten lately. The first, Lucas, who in fact was the one who told Declan to find the leader of the Nyx Knights, actually joined the group. And if he wants, Lucas can find out for himself without bothering others. Eve pity Declan. His sister was made to work extra until not enough sleep, evident from the eye bags printed clearly on his tired face.

And another surprising fact. Eve. Just last night, while at Jason's jewelry store, Lucas specifically invited him into the secret headquarters of the Nyx Knights in the basement of the store. The proof is that everyone he saw had the same centaur badge as Lucas, but the difference was made of gold, not iron.

So Lucas is the Knight of Nyx?

"It's enough to daydream it."

Declan standing. Restoring her hair that has extended until it touches the ear with disheveled.

"You better get dressed quickly. Under someone has come."

Eve looked up. Ah, her heart was suddenly not good. "Who?"

"Lady Britney," replied Declan later. "I'm actually here for that. He said he really wanted to see you soon."

Eve looked hard at her brother. Declan realized it, but he couldn't do anything.

"I'm with you."

Two successful words made Eve nod boldly. Then he stood up and went back into his room, writhing on Declan's arm. Thank goodness the man did not seem to want to refuse or be uncomfortable. He likes this togetherness.

"As long as you are, even if the one I visit is an angel of death, I will not be afraid!" said Eve full of determination which Declan ended with a mild naughtiness.

"Unfortunately, what we're dealing with is not the angel of death, but something more terrifying than that."

Eve looked up, "Oh yeah, what is that?"

"Medusa," replied Declan lightly greeted Eve with a burst of laughter.
