?Lucas went home and fell straight to bed without even removing his clothes. He was exhausted and needed sleep more than anything else. He was worried about Thomas, but he knew he needed rest before doing anything.

"I wonder how Drake will deal with this situation," he said under his nose as he closed his eyes.

The following day, Lucas woke up early, as usual. He felt refreshed after getting enough sleep. He stretched his body as he sat up and yawned. He glanced around the room and saw a mirror.

"Mhm." Lucas nodded as he remembered what had happened yesterday. 'It was a good plan. But there is more.' he thought to himself. He was relieved that he didn't have to kill Thomas, as there might be a way to turn him into one of his pawns. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

He walked to the mirror and looked at himself. He was wearing white boxers. He stared at the mirror and said, "It's been ages since I've seen you, Lilith. I miss you." Lucas said, but Lilith's ghost never showed up.

"Was I cured?" Lucas sighed as he turned away from the mirror.

'Of course I am.' he thought to himself. 'I am not even a human. An angel can't have hallucinations.' Lucas clenched his fists. While he was relieved, Lilith's face haunted him for so long that he got used to her. Now that she was gone, he felt a part of him was missing.

Suddenly, he heard a knock at the doors.

"Are you home?" Sarah's voice called for him behind closed doors. "Are you okay?!"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Lucas smiled. "Come in!"

Sarah opened the door and stepped inside, her heart racing. Lucas was standing in the middle of the living room in nothing but a pair of grey boxers, his silver hair disheveled. She quickly averted her eyes and mumbled, "W-Where have you been yesterday?"

Lucas scratched his forehead awkwardly as he didn't know what to tell her. 'I can't tell that I was fighting king Thomas. Can I?' he wondered. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to tell her the truth.

"I was just tired. Sorry I didn't answer you." Lucas lied as he looked at Sarah. "Can we talk about this later? Right now, I have something else to discuss with Dorian."

"Sure..." Sarah said quietly as she looked at Lucas.

Yesterday she had arrived on the doorstep of Lucas's home so they could go to school together and instead had been given a cold, solid door to silence. She was smart enough to know that he had not been home. Was he avoiding her? Was he avoiding something? It seemed unlikely. More questions swirled in her head, questions for ways to fill in the gaps. But she decided not to question him.

"Can you wait a couple more minutes?" Lucas asked. " I want to go to take a shower."

"Okay..." Sarah nodded as she looked at Lucas.

"Take a seat." He said, walked towards the bathroom, and closed the door behind him.

Sarah sighed as she sat down on the couch. She had been so flustered to see Lucas undressed that she had not even asked him her questions. She stared at the door, waiting for Lucas to exit.

Lucas, on the other hand, had watched Sarah from the corner of his eye while she waited, as he had been naked. He was already big, unlike Drake, who was small. He had a strong, scarred, chiseled body made for fighting and made for punishing sinners. The strong, stout neck was above broad shoulders and powerful arms. His chest had a light covering of sweat, which made his muscles shine underneath the light. Red, thick veins could be seen on his arms.

'Ugh... My body has mutated.' he thought as he remembered how scrawny and slim he was when he awoke in this world. He had been weak, frail, and sickly. Now he had grown stronger than before. He had gained muscle mass, and his body was now more prominent and fitter.

After a shower, he dressed up and put on some clothes before leaving the bathroom. When he returned, Sarah was sitting on the couch, reading notes from school.

"Finished?" Sarah asked with a smile.

"Yes. Thanks for letting me use your bathroom." Lucas said politely.

"Anytime." Sarah smiled as she looked at Lucas. "So what do we do now?"

"We can go to school together." Lucas smiled as he looked at her. 'And then I would have to go to the castle.' he thought to himself. He chuckled at the thought.

He realized that there were many differences between the novel and reality. He wondered, what about king Thomas? Did he ever meet his past-life's lover reincarnated in Lightburn? In the novel, king Thomas had two wives, the princess and his former lover from the past life. Thomas was a king, so the princess marrying him was apparent, but what about Olivia?

"Hey... Sarah? Today I won't be able to hang out after school." Lucas said.

Sarah's eyes widened as she looked at Lucas. "Why?" she asked, disappointed. She wanted to find a way to ditch Lilith and ask Lucas on a date. Or at least, hang out just the two of them and pretend to herself that it was a date.

"Oh, I just have to visit a castle." Lucas smiled as he looked at Sarah. "Don't worry. I have an invitation." Lucas lied.

"A castle?" Sarah repeated. Her disappointment quickly faded away as she saw Lucas's smile. "W-What are you going to do there?!"

Lucas walked closer to Sarah and placed his finger on her lips. "Shhh. It's a secret." He said with a playful voice and winked.

"Wha—?" Sarah blushed as she felt Lucas's warm breath on her face. She couldn't believe that he was about to her. She had always wanted to kiss him, but she never imagined that it would happen now. However...

"Well, I am ready for school. Let's go." Lucas chuckled and walked to take his backpack. "Almost forgot the backpack!"
