Lucy Wickshire

Chapter 170

A blond young lady walked out of her room and approached a dinning room. The entire castle was lit up with torches and fire burned in fireplaces, keeping the entire castle warm. The maids bowed as she entered and served her food when she sat.

Half way into her meal, a man entered. He did not bow as he took a seat beside her; this was the same for the woman behind him. The woman was much older than her, but she shared a lot of facial features with the younger lady.

None of them talked as they ate. The air was neither stiff nor uncomfortable, as though it was very normal that they sat in silence. A man walked in and saluted.

"My lady." he greeted, before nodding to the other two beside her. She looked up at him and frowned.

"What is it?"

"Another of them have entered. They are staying at Kurt inn." the man said and she nodded.

"The same we were expecting?" she asked him.

"Yes. We have confirmed that they are truly from Lantanier clan." he answered and she nodded for him to leave.

"Lantanier clan? From Other-side?" the older woman asked.

"Yes, but my dear daughter keeps letting them in. You know they are only here for the thick energy from the alignment of realm, right?" the man frowned at the lady still eating.

"Lusa, do you know that this could get out of control?" the woman asked as though scolding and Lady Lusa sent her a glare which silenced her.

"They would have entered anyway. It is better that I know where they are and what they are doing."

"Isn"t that the opposite of what you want? You are doing the same thing Lady Wickshire is doing; helping them enter. You think I don"t see the reports? I know that Lady Wickshire is basically the leader of the under ground human smuggling Other-siders in here. She is the one who emphasized the law that they don"t enter, yet started a smuggling ring to help them enter." the man said.

"Father, I don"t know what she could be thinking." the girl said as she ate leisurely.

"You"ve met her; what did you talk about?" her father asked and she paused for a second before continuing what she was doing.

"News came. Lok city burnt to the ground. Lady Wickshire is moving. We Thraines or what ever we are called, don"t work together. But it is said that the direct bloodline can make us move." she answered.

"She is of the direct bloodline, then? Does she think it is easy to move you?" her father frowned. He himself is supposed to be the lord of this reef, but his daughter controls it. That should tell someone; this is daughter is too scary. He knows it, she even invades his nightmares.

"I believe she can. She scares even us, Thraines. After all, she has now forced Xier of the hooded eyes to move. It"s only a matter of time before she looks my way." Lady Lusa said and her parents frowned. Can someone be scarier than the daughter they made?
