Capítulo 56: A new deal

A plan had formed in Lucas's mind: he would use information about Olivia to have leverage over Thomas. Lucas walked briskly forward, the evening sky darkening in the distance.

After about an hour, Lucas found himself standing in front of the door to the royal wing of the palace. He took a deep breath and knocked on the thick oak door. It creaked slightly as he pushed the door open and stepped inside.

"You..." a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Thomas!" Lucas spun around, surprised.

"What are you doing here?" king Thomas looked at him in annoyance.

"I wanted to make up with you." Lucas smirked. "You know, let the bygones be bygones." He chuckled, but his words fell on deaf ears.
