As Lucien approached Lithira, relief washed over him seeing her smile. Though disappointed they couldn't spend time together during the festival, her safety was enough to ease his worries.
"Lithira, where have you been? And where is your mother?" he asked, glancing around for Brigantia.
"Let's go somewhere else. I have something important to tell you," her serious tone matched her expression.
His eyes widened, feeling a wave of unease. "Sure."
They walked outside the village towards Lithira's workshop, but Lucien's mind was a whirlwind of thoughts.
His women leaving him alone on Harvest Day and now wanting a serious talk? In the modern world, this usually meant a breakup or a pregnancy announcement. The latter seemed impossible since Brigantiea had laid eggs a week ago.
'Do they want to break up with me? Or did they find out that Rosetta will be my fake fiancée?'
