Lucas returned back to the temple.

As soon as he arrived, he began instruct all the priest to prepare for the upcoming ceremony.

Michael who finally saw him, approach him.

"Lucas, you're here. I'm glad to see you're fine." Michael sighed in relief as he hug Lucas.

"Wish I could say the same." Lucas said.

As he pull away from Michael embrace.

Although, Michael was a bit taken back with Lucas words, he quickly regains his thoughts.

"Wait, there's something I want to say to you." Michael hold into Lucas arm.

Lucas stopped his steps.

"It's...it's about the crown princess. Are you...sure that she try to poisoned you?" Michael inquiries.

"Why are you asking me this? Are you doubting me?" Lucas question him, dully.

"No. It just that...maybe there's a mistake..."

Lucas then cuts in.

"What mistake could that be? She tried to kill me, and...very poorly at that." He mutter the last sentence.

Michael heard it.

"Exactly. It was too obvious. Like...the situation wanted her to be caught. Don't you think it unusual?" Michael tries to make Lucas realise something.

"Fate. That's the only explanation. You said yourself, that every life is predestined. So you should hold on into that beliefs."

Michael expression sank. He knew that Lucas intentionally said that to ridicule him.

Instantly, he knew Lucas held grudge towards him.

Death is what Lucas wanted.

But the harder he tried to reach for his own death, the further it goes, as if it was out of reach. And can't never be fulfilled.

Michael heavily sighed.

"Lucas....I really need to tell you something important. Please...the crown princess is not who you think she is. She's..." Michael stop his mid sentence when he sees the knights approach them.

They seem to guard Lucas.

"Your holiness, we have checked the room, it safe. You may enter the room." The knight inform Lucas.

"Alright, then." Lucas then walked away.

"Lucas, wait!" Michael hurriedly tried to reach to Lucas.

Lucas turn to look at him.

"Michael, I have better things to do now. I will be in the holy place for this week to pray before the ceremony. If this is one of your lectures, save it for later." Lucas said, as he walked away.

"Lucas, no! Wait! I need to tell you something! It's important!" Michael become desperate, trying to reach towards him. But he was blocked by the knights.

Lucas had already left.

Michael looks distressed. The burden of truth inside his heart, make him feel heavy and anxious.

"Why won't you listen?" He mutters in despair.

As days goes by, another torment had started for Irene and Libby in prison. Which is starvation.

Both of them didn't received any food nor drink by the guards.

Irene began to feel thirsty as the day went on.
