Steal The Male Lead

3.5

Victor looked at Lucius from the corner of his eyes unable to help the brotherly smile that appeared on his face.

Lucius was able to notice and met Victor's gaze. "What?"

Victor seemed to wake with that one word, replying, "Nothing, it's just...you have really grown." As he said so, his face showed a hint of regret.

Lucius was able to tell what Victor was thinking, and panicked. Immediately, the words flew out of his mouth faster than he could think. "Vic, it's not your fault and I will never blame you, so please forgive yourself. You couldn't control what had happened that day and the only thing that matters now is that you are back with us."

"I know, but, I feel like I missed some of the most important moments of your life, and I wish that I was there to see it. It's not much but I do regret not being there with you." Victor showed a light smile, radiating sullenness.

Lucius merely replied, "Then that's all there needs to be said. Plus, you're here now, we can spend more time together for the time that was lose."

Victor didn't reply, but he smelled a wave of blood in the air and stood in silence.

With Allen's mission to introduce himself at the royal banquet tonight Victor was sure that he would meet Raven and Mark there too. Plus, it wasn't like Victor would be shy or anything like that. As shown before, he was a very good schemer, and loved playing games in real life. Although Victor wasn't truly the character for him, he wasn't feeling bad with it. At least he wouldn't have to keep a frozen face on or pretend to be nice. With Victor's character, he was nice at times but that depended on the person he was meeting.

"Are you two ready?" Rain's gentle voice said from behind them. He walked by Allen, who was holding onto his hand.

"Yes, Pa," Both Lucius and Victor said in unison.

"That's good. The guests will be arriving soon, Victor. Remember your task." Allen spoke next, but he stared at Victor with a taunting smile on.

Victor held back his curse, replying, "Yes, Father." If there was one thing he found out about Allen, it was that this man was evil to his very core. He was like the living devil, which would explain the hidden amusement in Allen's eyes whenever he looked at Victor.

"Good, I'll be awaiting." Allen nodded as he heard Victor's words, then he walked away from the two, dragging along Rain with him. "Let's go, we need some alone time."

Victor heard Allen's words and couldn't help the frozen smile on his face. As Allen and Rain walked away, Victor was able to hear Rain's soft laugh.

"Hey, Lucius," Victor called out to the person by his side.

"Yes?" Lucius replied.

"Are royal banquet usually hard to host? Is there many things that need to be done?" Victor was able to see the smirk and evil expression on Allen's face even though he was so far away, of course he would suddenly be worry. Something had to be wrong, otherwise, Allen wouldn't show the smile that he would've shown to people who fell in front of his eyes.

Hearing the panic on Victor's tone, Lucius held back a smile as his brain wired up a plan. Replying seriously, Lucius said, "No, royal banquets aren't hard to host. It's just that Father and Pa don't host much banquets so it is rare for them to do so. There isn't a lot of things that need to be done, so you don't have to worry." Hah, Lucius was lying without a single sign of flinching away. This was his revenge. Victor should try experiencing one first to find out.

Victor was able to breathe with relief after hearing this, "That's good, I thought that Father was definitely trying to trick me."

When Lucius heard Victor's words, he turned away his face showed a big grin. His eyes twinkled so brightly, looking very much like Allen's own expression.
