"Why were you with her, Brother Caesar?" Lucas inquired as soon as they entered his cousin's study. When he saw Talia together with his cousin in a dress so different from the one he previously saw her wearing, his heart couldn't help but thump. 

Obviously, he had some designs towards the lady, but he couldn't be so outright and straightforward about what he feels for her. It was not because he didn't dare ask her out, surely, the ladies he would ask to be his lover wouldn't refuse him. However, Lucas was uncertain about what he felt towards Talia, the girl who was friends with his sister. 

Talia didn't express her admiration for him unlike any other girls in their village. She didn't even behave as if she had liked him more than the brother of her friend, which only made him more hesitant to approach her. 

But after seeing her together with his cousin, Lucas couldn't help but feel his emotions being put into a test.
