Lucas knew he had to step in before the two women started to fight each other. While he was certain Selene could handle herself, Xavier had placed guards around Selene for a reason.
'He might take my head if I let them fight,' Lucas thought.
Lucas went and placed himself between Selene and Morgana just before Selene could respond to what Morgana wanted.
Morganna laughed at the guard having to step in. "So, she can't do anything just like I thought."
"No, she can do as she likes to you as Lady Blackthorn, but she doesn't need to carry you out of here. I will do it," Lucas said, grabbing Morgana's arm.
He would worry about the palace coming after him later but right now, Lucas was more concerned about Xavier's anger when he returned home.
"I will see the princess off," Lucas informed Selene. "It is best you remain here."
Morgana tried to pull her hand out of Lucas's hold. "Let go of me! Do you want the king to come after you? I am royalty."
