"Lucius would never do that, he isn't like that" Aria bursted at Ellery
"Look here, listen to me, I forgive that you attempted to drug me but don't you dare blame it all on Lucius"
"Sit down, Aria"
"Father you have to believe me not her, I'm your daughter, I know Lucius very well, he would never stoop so low"
"Sean, call me your brothers"
"Yes father" Sean bowed and walked out of the room
"Father..please believe me, Ellery tell him all what you said is a lie"
"I'm sorry my lady, I wish it was"
Demitri barged into the room with her two sons at her back
"What is this I'm hearing, Leonidas?" Demitri asked as she entered
"Mother...please tell father, Lucius would never do that" Aria was all in tears
"Aria..." Demitri said softly looking at her daughter
"Mother, he really would never"
"Do you think we should war with them?"
"War?, I mean why would you even think like that?,Nick?" Fred asked
"War is not the next option, Nick , stop thinking irrationally" Demitri cautioned
"What do you suggest we do?" Leonidas asked
"Investigate"
"Mom, investigating is still not the beast option, they might have other plans" Sean said
"More reason why we need to investigate" Demitri replied him
"Pretending is a good option though" Sean suggested
"That we know nothing?" Leonidas asked
They all nodded except Aria. She kept quiet
"Aria?" Sean called
"I'm really not good right now so please" She sighed holding her forehead
A rap on the door interrupted their discussions
"Come in!!!" Leonidas roared
A maid came in bowing her head
"I'm sorry to interrupt your majesty but you have an urgent August meeting"
"Who?"
