"Is that all?" Lucian's gaze scrutinised him.
" Ummm… He has also been searching for the marked one. The one marked by your flames… however we have not been able to find her," Dimitri lied through his teeth.
"The marked one.." He drawled, "We have to look for her first, she bears half of my powers… I need to take it back."
Lucian glanced at his bandaged body, a frown formed between his brows. "And how did I get these wounds?"
"You… I mean Lucian was almost killed, he had made some enemies," Dimitri's heart pounded in his ears, when Lucian stood up and walked closer to him.
"You have proven that you are a good follower…" Lucian raised Dimitri up, his hand patting his shoulder. " When I ascend, you will be second in command to me… as you have always been," he said with a proud look.
