His eyes flicked briefly to Arthur yes, the notorious Prince Arthur, brother of Celestia and the primary antagonist of this novel's twisted tale. The man who, according to the plot, would eventually meet his fate at the hands of Victor.

Arthur, seated across from him with an aura of refined elegance, raised a single brow at Lucian's remark. A faint, amused smile danced on his lips.
