Lucius was quite flustered at the hands of the response he received from his King. Sure, he had been informal with her name but he was not really in the right sense of mind for formalities. What startled him more was how calm the king was, how sure he thought that Octavia would survive her ordeal instead of calling for a rescue party immediately after he came forward with the grievance news. But no, he chuckled at how he used her real name and then dismissed the topic altogether, saying he could do nothing, the man who had just created life not three hours earlier. 

Confusion swept over him, if this was the kings will then who was he to judge but, at the same time he felt the need to go to her. Octavia needed help now more then ever and if the King would not do anything, then Lucius would. [color=gold] "So be it, my lord." [/color] Spoke Lucius with an edge of spite in his voice. He began to leave, but then the phantom came. The air became chilled as the creature came into the throne room but Lucius did not seem to care. Sir Lucius only wanted to leave but for some inexplicable reason, he found himself un-moving as he waited for the phantom to speak. 

The Knight of Angels listened intently to the phantom and found himself in sad agreement. He had always felt a strange pity for those that could not pass on and now he realized that it stemmed from knowing what they had to endure on the other side. Nevertheless, he did not appreciate the blatant lack of respect in front of such a holy being.

Lucius did not know what over came him, but he went to pick up the thrown sword with his left hand. When he did, it sent a cold chill down his spine before he pointed it back at the phantom.

[color=gold]"You disgust me, phantom. I have no other words for you other then this; Take back your sword and leave, I have to go protect my people from your [i]brothers[/i], or did you fail to notice that with your coming more people are dying?"[/color] he said with jarring arrogance. Lucius really had no time to play around with a sad phantom, so he tossed the sword back at him and started to walk towards the door.
