Lucas jolt on his feet when he hears Lory's voice calling him, He clicks his tongue exasperatedly, in panics state Lucas look left and right as he searches something to destroy the diary, thankfully he found a small furnace not far from him. He make a long stride towards the furnace, at first, he wants to burn the whole diary at one time but the furnace is too small and the diary is too big, the furnace will not burn the diary fast enough.
"Lucas, are you upstairs, what are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you and Jay is hungry!" Lory complains while she climbs the stairs calmly.
Lucas becomes more frantic, swiftly he tore the pages from the diary and throw the paper into the furnaces but Lory footsteps getting closer and his hands are not fast enough, Lory obviously would catch him, and she know how lory is, she would insist to see what that book was.
"Lucas, what are you doing?" Lory voice increasing.
Lucas becomes more anxious then in a panic state he throws away the diary aimlessly to the corner, then he turns around swiftly "Yo sister, what's up?" he pretends to stretch his limbs above his head.
Lory sees Lucas Exaggerated reaction and she got suspicious, she narrowed her eyes and curiously ask "What did you do?"
"Nothing!" he raised his arms awkwardly.
"Really" Lory didn't believe him, her lazy brother never looks this lively if not chassed by a beast, then she turn slowly then look around the library with probing eyes and then she suddenly flabbergasted with the ruin bookshelf behind her "Oh, My God Luc, what did you do!" Lory was scream in shock "You gonna be killed by Fred!" she looks at Lucas in horrified.
Lucas realizes he hasn't cleaned up the mess he has done, the bookshelf is wrecked and the books scrambled on the floor. Lucas scratched his head "I know - I know, don't tell anyone okay" he pleads pitifully. He scared someone would notice the hidden compartment and investigated what's in there, he doesn't want others to find out about his mother's diary.
Lory make naughty smiles "It won't be free…~"
"Fine, I get you I dozen exclusive macaroons from La Rouge Pastry Shop okay" Lucas roll his eyes, then he put back the woods behind the bookshelf before Lory notice something.
"Two Box!" Lory raised her two fingers.
"FINE, now help me with the book!" he glared at his sister who make cheeky smiles after succeeding blackmail her brother.
Lory got excited when Lucas promised her favorite dessert, Fred had been cut down her daily sweets consume because of health issue, who is he kidding for, she got a healing gift, if she got sick she can just heal herself but Fred didn't want to listen 'he said excessive indulgent is not good for the mind and body' in short he doesn't;t want Lory to become a sugar addict.
'Well, the ship has sailed honey'
still, she can't fight him so Lory only answers Fred's request with a pout.
"What did you burn anyway?" Lory suddenly asked while organizing the book on the shelf.
"What?" Lucas was slightly perturbed.
Lory twitches her nose "I smell something burning, what did you burn?"
"Uhm, nothing important..." he evades Lory probing gaze.
"Is it porn?" Lory raised her eyebrows.
"...."
Lory slowly nods with a big grin on her face "Is porn isn't it….nope you don't need to deny, I understand you already at that age" Lory teased her Brother who just reaches puberty.
Sometimes he wishes he could open his sister brain and see what's in it "Whatever" Lucas helplessly shakes his head.
Lory grinned when she thought her guessed is right.
A few minuted later Lucas and lory finish fixing the bookshelf, as long no one took the book from the corner they will be saved. Lory clapped her hands with a satisfied look "Come one before that 'smiling Demon' fetch us"
"Hum" Lucas hummed, he glances at the direction where he throws his mother diary. He decide to finish the job when everyone is sleeping.
'Druid Priestess – Arthea – Djevelskrin' he needs more information about this, he has to make sure that his mother's prophecy will not happen, but he can't let anyone know not even his Archknight, he needs to find someone else outside his people.
When they climb down the stairs Lucas called her "Lory, I need your help"
"Hm?"
"You know about the party for welcoming the prime minister from the south, uhm…can you replace me?" he rubs his nose because of nervousness.
Lory turn her head at Lucas then widen her big beautiful eyes that filled with complain "AGAIN!"
"Yeah…" his make wry smiles.
"This is the third time Luc, and father will not please heck Fred will not pleased!" Lory reprimands him with a serious face.
"I know, I accept any punishment, just tell them it's my fault okay, so please sister, pleaaseeee….." Lucas sincerely begs her with his puppy eyes.
Lory who has a tendency to spoil her brother is weak from Lucas pleading, she let out a long sigh "Uuugh FINE, but this is the last time okay!" she warns him sternly.
Lucas grinned widely " Of course – Of course, thanks sis!" he circles his arms on Lory's neck "I'll buy you the limited edition strawberry cheesecake that you love" he coaxed Lory with more rewards.
Just like he expected Lory got easily sway, her mouth curved upwards when she thought about cake "It's you words okay, not me" she pretends to be firm "But don't put it on the fridged, send it to my room, that demon confiscated all sweet on the fridge, seriously….we need to find him a girlfriend"
"We had, but the girl runs….remember?" Lucas said with genuine concern. No one knows how handsome, smart, and cultured man like free could spook all his blind dates.
Lory's mouth twitch "Yeah….she run fast too?" she doesn't know if she should pitty or applauded Fred's ability to get rid woman less in thirty minutes.
"By the way what are you going to do if you don't attend the party, please tell me you do something important" Lory almost feel like she's begging. She hopes Lucas didn't do stupid things with jay and Clift.
"I do something important" Lucas smiles faintly, there's a lot of things he needs to figure it out before it's too late.
"Really?" Lory pushes his arm from her shoulder.
"Really!" Lucas assured him.
Lory has her doubt but Lucas's serious gaze softens her heart "Okay, I got your back then, and I try to explain it to father but Fred is your job, okay, That man trick me too often" Lory feel vexed.
"Okay – okay, thanks though" he slips his hands on his pocket as he smiles warmly at Lory.
"Hump, what can you do without me" Lory taunts him.
"Apparently nothing" Lucas accepts her taunt wholeheartedly, he looks down then said, "I will always need you…"
Lory looks at him with confused looks"Uhm, what..?"
"Nothing"
