His eyes widen slightly as he takes in the scene, and his jaw drops when he sees it's Emilia.
Emilia stiffens as well, suddenly shy, and she pulls away from Lucas.
Lucas exhales, a little pissed by Thomas's intrusion, and turns toward him, closing the curtain firmly to shield Emilia.
"Leave," he says calmly.
Thomas furrows his brow. It seems like he is hearing the strangest thing in his ten years of serving in the palace.
He takes a few steps back, checks the atmosphere, and returns almost immediately.
"...Is Jurua…" he pauses, afraid Emilia might hear and find out the truth.
Emilia dresses properly, moving to stand, but Lucas catches her wrist.
"You should leave first," he says, signaling to Thomas to leave again, but he doesn't.
The look on his face suggests he wants to ask Lucas if he has gone crazy allowing Emilia to hear this at this time of the month.
"Your Majesty, don't we have something important to discuss?" Thomas replies, signaling with his hand.
