The Mission

"You're here, Lucas." I sighed in relief when my dad's attention turned towards him and away from me. But I immediately looked away when Lucas' stare was fixated on me. Wait, why am I feeling so nervous all of a sudden?

"You called me, your grace? Please tell me how I can be of service." Lucas said to Dad formally, but he was still staring at me. It sent a shiver down my spine. How can a mere kid make me feel like this? No. I must be really overthinking this.

"Is this all about the guy named Chris, your grace? Should I eliminate him?" I unconsciously widened my eyes when I heard him say that. Lucas just glared at me when he saw my reaction. I raised my left eyebrow at him for being confused. What did that guy even do to you?!
