The surprise I felt came even twofold as Lucielle came out of her room clearly finished packing and embraced The Captain Lucius as if embracing a brother. "My dear Lucielle" Lucius exclaimed smiling picking her up and spinning her around. As Lucielle laughed she said "Lucius my friend I'm glad you and your families are coming with us. I could not think the horrors the nobles would put you all through before taking your heads if you had chosen a different path. Where is Ana I haven't seen her in weeks." "Alas my daughter is on her way home from a trip to see her cousins but she has been notified and is anxious to meet you once more." As Lucielle and Lucius kept talking I noticed people started gathering in the courtyard. Lucius' guards had no doubt alerted the people that we all had to leave and were helping them pack for the long journey ahead of us.
