"He warned us to never lurk around Seraphina Castello again or he'll kill us the next time."
Lukas leaned back to his chair as his purple eyes narrowed into slits.
"An assassin…" he repeated.
Roy gulped the lump in his throat as he began to feel anxious about what Lukas would do after hearing them fail. Will he get mad and punish them? He can't read their master at all...
"He is very skillful," he added. To alleviate himself? To justify why they got sent packing? Maybe both.
Lukas took a deep drag on the cigar and exhaled it slowly. His head then tilted to the side almost lazily and stared at them in indifference.
"Have you gathered the information needed?"
"Yes, we have," Roy immediately replied with vigor. It was their redeeming factor thus the enthusiasm. "We made sure to copy all the documents about the Castello family from the registry of the kingdom. We had also observed Lady Castello for a few days and gained more information about her before we got attacked."
