Chapter 70: Trouble in the market (3)
"Leave her, Lucas. It is not worth it and I have somewhere to be," said Selene.
With all the people watching and how Lucinda would react, this could go bad quickly. Selene didn’t want this issue to blow up more than it already did to reach Xavier’s ears.
There were going to be plenty of times when walking away was the best answer and today wa one of them.
Selene waited for Agnes to take the boxes with her new shoes and then walked to the door so Lucas would follow with her other guards.
If they left Lucinda alone, Selene knew Lucinda would surely make herself look a fool.
Lucinda didn’t try to approach Selene again since she was concerned about the guards. Seeing Selene be so protected Lucinda started to wonder why she wasn’t walking around with guards as well so she could be protected in these moments.
She was the mother of the kingdom’s hero so it was only fitting she had guards and the same luxuries Selene got her hands on. It wasn’t fair that after everything which happened recently, it was Selene who seemingly struck gold as Gabriel was yet to offer money to Lucinda.
Lucinda had debts which needed to be paid before she could flaunt her new status like she wanted.
Lucinda exited the shop but this time, she didn’t follow Selene. As long as the guards were around Selene then there wouldn’t be any success in a conversation between them.
