Lucien didn't want to pick a bride. In fact for tonight, he just wanted to have fun. He missed the old days of throwing party and fun livelihood. Even though no one here knew who he was anymore. Having a wife was the least thing he wanted, but his bird had annoyed him.
Maybe he had been too soft on her. Maybe he needed to teach her a little lesson. He wanted her to know he could have any woman he wanted to replace her. He was going to put an end to this madness.
Elise didn't have control over his emotions. He should not be losing his sanity over his maid.
Luciens golden eyes settled on the girl with violent eyes. She was beautiful, even though he wasn't in anyway attracted to her. He has searched the entire hall, and no one made him feel like his bird.
He side eyed her, his bird. Elise face was normal, she looked exhausted and tired from holding the tray of drink in her hands. That alone got him upset. He was about to lick her replacement yet she acted like nothing was happening.
