328 Confrontation- Part 3
Lucy stared at Samuel. She had seen him with the maid with her very own eyes, and maybe if soone had told her in the past, she wouldn't have believed it, but the truth was right in front of her eyes.
"Please leave," said Lucy, and Samuel's eyes hardened at her words, "You can take the trunk with you."
"Lucy," Samuel's eyes softened quickly, "You cannot leave . We are husband and wife. We are supposed to be together. I don't know who fed lies to you, but you should stop believing them."
"I saw you with the maid with my very own eyes, Sam. I thought you loved , and if you did, you wouldn't have hurt . I know the maid was not the only person. Leave." The vampiress crossed her hands against her chest.
Lucy turned to look in the other direction, not wanting to talk to him. Madeline, who stood right at the door, saw Samuel stare at his wife for the longest ti. Before he could step out of the room, he turned to look at Lucy who had turned to see Samuel about to leave,
"Are you sure about this?" Samuel asked, waiting but seeing Lucy not react, he finally left the room.
"Would you like to drink so water?" asked Madeline, and Lucy smiled at Madeline's kind gesture.
"No, I am fine," Lucy couldn't believe how much of an idiot she was to not recognize Samuel's lies.
All this ti, people had done nothing but lie to her. Calhoun, whom she loved as her own brother was the one to kill her parents. She wanted to hold him responsible, but she didn't know what had happened in the past when his mother was still alive. She had heard bits and pieces of information about his late mother, but nothing was clear. It was hard to trust and believe people's words. She had been heartbroken when she had seen her parent's dead bodies, but sowhere she had also been relieved, but that didn't an she was happy that they were killed.
Right three minutes later, one of the castle maids ca running to the room where Lucy and Madeline were in. The maid huffed for air as she had co as quick as she could, "M-milady! Y-you need to co near the front rooms where the courtroom is, imdiately!"
"What happened?" questioned Madeline.
"Mr. Greville and Mr. Chauncey, they are fighting," ca the worried words from the maid. Madeline and Lucy quickly left the room to go to where the other two n were. On their way, Madeline asked,
"Where is the King?" If Calhoun was there, he would have stopped it unless he was bored and wanted to see people fight for his sheer entertainnt.
When Madeline and Lucy arrived at the spot, Samuel and Theodore were indeed caught up in a fistfight, and it didn't look pretty. Lucy didn't pause her feet but continued to walk before calling, "Sam! Samuel! Stop it!"
Theodore noticed Lucy's presence and stopped, but this resulted only in him being on the receiving end of Samuel's fist. Lucy stepped in the middle of them and before Samuel could drop a punch straight at her thinking it was for Theodore, Theodore caught hold of Samuel's hand before pushing him away from Lucy.
"What is wrong with you, Samuel?!" demanded Lucy, staring at Samuel.
"It is because of him. He is the one who tried to spoil our relationship," Samuel tried to get to Theodore, but with Lucy in between, he couldn't get past as she held her hand up to stop him.
"Stop making a fool of yourself and . I told you Theodore has nothing to do with it and it is your fault what has happened. I would ask you to leave right this instant!" Lucy was not happy that Samuel had co to attack Theodore. Looking at the servant who stood nearby, she ordered, "Get Mr. Greville his carriage ready so that he can leave the castle."
"Are you trying to humiliate , Lucy? You are my wife," threatened Samuel, his eyes narrowing.
"I think you have done plenty enough for both of us where I don't have to do anything. I dissolve the marriage between you and . We are no more husband and wife. If needed, I will have an official proceeding to free you from this marriage," replied Lucy.
"Of course, else you would be ashad that you are having an affair with this servant," Samuel gritted his teeth. By now, many servants had co to gather around and witnessed the little show that took place in the middle of the corridor.
Lucy said, "You should be happy that brother Calhoun is not here."
"You are nothing less to the King. Not listening to the innocent and framing the person who is not guilty," said Samuel, "It only shows how much you want to get rid of ."
Lucy frowned at his words, "I have faith in the King. And I cannot unsee what I saw that night while you were with the maid."
The servant that Lucy ordered returned back, bowing his head, "Lady Lucy, the carriage is ready."
"Take Mr. Greville's trunks and put them in the carriage. Make sure he returns ho safely," ordered Lucy while Samuel's face was flad in anger.
Madeline stood there, watching the three people in front of her. Samuel looked like he wanted to say sothing, and he stepped forward in anger. Madeline's hands turned to fist, and at the sa ti, Samuel stopped right in front of Lucy as if an invisible wall was stopping him.
Samuel looked confused, as if he didn't know what happened for a mont.
Lucy, who was looking at Samuel, wondered why he was still standing here. After a few seconds, she heard Samuel say to her, "Our relationship is not over, Lucy. You cannot break it like this. I will co back for you." This ti he took a careful step in front of him before walking past them with a glare directed at Theodore.
When Samuel walked past Madeline, she noticed the bruises and cuts that had ford on his face. Madeline wondered in such a short ti, how Samuel had caught hold of Theodore, and how they ended up in a brawl. Her eyes caught sight of his peeled skin before the man left the corridor.
Before Lucy could say anything, Theodore who had received the sa amount of bruises on his face, bowed at them and left from there.
