Emilia's body trembled, but she didn't obey him, which made Lucas even more furious.
"I don't want to see you," he yelled again, but Emilia only moved backwards, creating a distance between them.
"Since you are so furious and don't want to see me," she said, her voice trembling with restrained anger.
"Then let me leave the Dragon Palace altogether and return to my own quarters."
"In your dreams," Lucas snapped, inching towards her.
Emilia's fingers dug into her skirts, and she stared at him in disbelief, seething.
"Why?"
"You have countless women at your disposal to warm your bed."
"There is no reason to keep me here," Emilia voiced angrily.
Lucas's face clouded with fury. The words struck a nerve, and then he remembered Catherine's words when she recounted the incident to him earlier.
Catherine kept emphasizing the fact that Emilia was envious of his visit to her chambers in recent days and that might have driven Emilia to frame her.
