He suddenly pulled the table cloth with so much force that all the foods and drinks fell violently as they splatter on the floor making a heart shattering sounds.
Everyone froze in shock.
King Henry angrily stood up and raised his hand his right palm facing forward.
"LUCAS, ENOUGH!" He roared angrily causing Tira to shake slightly.
Lucas didn't say anything and clenched his fists tightly as anger was brewing so hot from him.
He raised up his head to look at king Henry coldly. His dark grey eyes burned dangerously as he stared intently at the king.
King Henry felt cold chills run down his spine.
But he had a passive expression, the way that bastard son of his was staring at him made him feel as though he could see through him.
"Father!" Lucas said coldly and sharply.
King Henry clenched his jaw tightly as though the way Lucas called him father made him feel a kind of way.
It was as if the devil was the one calling him that way. That single one word,"father" almost made him loose his mind.
"Have some respect for the king of Eldrida kingdom. " Riley said sharply and angrily.
Lucas slowly stood up, his strong aura cloaked the room making it hard for everyone to breath freely.
He was really pissed, anger was evident in the way he walked coldly towards the king.
King Henry clenched his fists tightly as anger also cooed out of him.
Catherine gulped hard and nervously as she could feel the rising tension building up.
Lucas slowly stopped walking, standing only few inches away from the king.
The mask he was wearing at that moment made him look like a masked devil prince ready to devour his preys.
His dark black grey eyes stared intently at the king coldly as though he could right through the king.
"What the hell––" King Henry growled but paused when Riley held his hand calmly.
"Let's not argue any further or cause conflicts". Riley said calmly playing the perfect wife.
Henry unclenched his fists and took in a deep breath before exhaling harshly.
"Catherine, get ready tomorrow morning, you will be performing the last rite of the wedding". He said coldly and was about to walk away when Lucas spoke coldly,
"Your royal majesty, he called out sharply sending chills down the King's spine. If Levi could provide magistrate cony to prove that I killed those innocent people tomorrow, you can go ahead with the ritual ".
There was a sudden silence in the dinning room with what he just said.
The silence was so strong and deafening that a pin drop could be heard.
Henry had a cold look on his face as anger brewed inside him.
He paused and slowly glared at Lucas.
"If you weren't my son, I'd have feed you to the bloodsuckers. " He said icely but Lucas was unfazed.
Catherine slowly stood up and walked towards the two men that were glaring dangerously each other, but Catherine knew what that look means, especially with the cold chills sliding down her spine.
She paused and stood in front of him, the king.
"First of all, I want to apologize for the misconduct that my HUSBAND has caused. " She said calmly stretching the husband part. Ever since she stepped foot into the Castle, even if she hadn't become very familiar with their characters but wut the way Queen Riley has been throwing tantrums at her indirectly had made her so pissed and hurt, but she has already made up her mind tatt, even if she doesn't whether or not she is is in love or not with her husband, she will fight together with him, she will hate those who hates him and love him who loves him.
Riley stood up angrily and asked,
"How dare you talk to the king using that tone?" She asked feeling anger rising from her.
Catherine turned to look at the second Queen and retorted coldly surprising everyone especially Lucas who hadn't expected his wife to be this brave.
"How dare you interfere between a husband and a wife?"
"What??!!!" Riley was shaking violently as the anger she building up finally bursted.
"YOU HUMAN!!". She growled her green eyes turned red and her fangs elongated ready to pounce and attack.
Catherine froze on the spot as fear suddenly engulf her.
I WILL KILL YOU!!! She growled angrily and leap and was about to launch an attack, but like a blur bullet,
Lucas had leaped so high and pounced on Riley pinning her to the ground.
Riley was growling hungrily and angrily as she kept shouting,
"I will kill you!!!"
Lucas eyes suddenly turned to something strange that Riley had never seen in her life.
Her red eyes narrowed and glimmered fearfully as she hadn't seen this color of eyes before.
His eyes turned pale ice blue that could kill any mortal human on that spot.
She gulped hard, as her heart raced wildly and fearfully in her chest making the other vampires wonder what Lucas is doing to the second Queen.
The family didn't dare near him as they felt as though their limbs couldn't move.
Catherine who was still in shock at what she just saw slowly unfreeze as her feet slowly moved backwards slightly, her back felt sweaty and beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead.
"The next time, you or your son talk so rudely to my wife, that would be the end of your reign as a queen. " He threatened lowly, his voice didn't sound like the cold and menacing tone he used to communicate with the family, but it sounded as though something deep and invisible that she couldn't see warning her from a cold distance.
Riley slowly nodded her head weakly, her red hungry eyes returning back to her normal green eyes color.
Once Lucas had seen she was back to normal, he stood up with a force.
His eyes returned back as though it didn't just change. His dark black grey eyes glimmered as though he was been amused.
Catherine threw herself into her husband's embrace. Her whole body shook slightly, her heart racing faster in her chest. Lucas hugged her back as he could feel the fear radiating from her.
