"Sir Lucas has always been loyal when it comes to love, and he is never one to sleep around, " said Freda who felt bad about it as well. She wondered, "He must feel hopeless and terrible now…"
"Did I make a mistake? Maybe I shouldn't have done any of that?"
Carla felt extremely guilty when she thought about how devastated Lucas looked earlier.
"I think we made the right choice, " replied Rogan immediately, "Also, this is not your fault. Lady Lisa and Marianne are the ones to blame. One of them was ignorant and schemed like a villain, while the other was arrogant and committed the sin."
"That's true. Besides, we can't keep this a secret forever. It will be revealed eventually, and it's not like you can bear the burden forever, " agreed Freda. It was rare, but the two ladies were actually in agreement!
Carla sighed and said, "I just hope Lucas can get past this sooner rather than later. If he doesn't… I honestly don't know how to face him."
"Neither one of you knew how to interact with each other now, so parting ways is the best option. Hopefully, Sir Carl will let us go soon."
"I'm guessing we still have to stay the night. They will probably let us go tomorrow, though, " said Carla before she checked her watch and instructed, "I'm actually more worried about Lucas doing something stupid tonight. Keep an eye on him and keep me posted at all times."
"Understood, " replied Freda. After that, she ordered, "The two of you are to go gauge the situation right now."
"Understood, " replied the girls, Ilali and Jewel, who hurried out immediately to carry out the tasks.
It was already a little past one o'clock at night. Most maids and subordinates should be asleep, and the castle should remain quiet. However, the matter between Marianne and Lucas got every light in the place lit up.
The maids were all terrified and were worried about something happening.
Edril and the other more experienced servants were busying away, but neither Ilali nor Jewel knew what they were doing.
Ilali and Jewel tried to approach the master room, but someone stopped them, so they had to return empty-handed.
They did, however, overhear two maids gossiping, "Sir Carl and Lady Lisa are arguing, so we must be careful or their crossfire will kill us."
"Sir Lucas locked himself in the room and refused to open the door for anyone. I am so worried. Will he be okay?"
"This is really getting out of hand…"
"Sir Lucas? Sir Lucas, please open the door. Let us help you, " said Edril carefully as she knocked on Lucas' door.
There was no response.
On the other side in the master bedroom, a crisp Clang! rang.
Carl had lost his temper and smashed the wineglass he had with him. He roared angrily, "Your actions are unacceptable!"
"What mistake did I really make?" refuted Lisa with her head up high, "I was thinking of the bigger picture and was only doing it for Lucas. I simply wanted to push this wedding along. That is why I planned everything. Who would've thought that the b_tch, Marianne, would…"
The mere mention of Marianne got Lisa to grit her teeth in anger. The latter complained, "I can't believe we have been raising that ungrateful b_tch and keeping her close to us the entire time!"
"She's your extended family, isn't she?" said Carl. He was so angry that he was turning red when he added, "Also, your so-called plan is ridiculous! Not only did it not push the wedding along, but it also backfired. Do you realize that you hurt our son?"
"I truly regret it as well, " confessed Lisa. She was heartbroken when she thought about her son. Still, she complained, "Ah, my boy is too stubborn. It's not like he'd lose a limb or something from this."
"Yeah, and your boy is also a loyal lover, " said Carl angrily, "What do we do now?"
"Let me go talk to him, " suggested Lisa as she got up to head out of the room.
"I just went to check on him. He locked himself in the room and refused to leave. He probably doesn't want to see anyone now, " replied Carl, who was angry once again. After that, he scolded, "You really are troublesome. I told you not to do anything, but you refused to heed my warning."
"Oh, what's the point of yelling at me now?" said Lisa with a broken heart, "We should focus on solving the matter at hand."
"Hah, you're the one who made the mess and now you expect me to clean it up? Why don't you come up with a solution and solve it yourself?" said Carl bitterly.
