Calhoun, who stood watching the trio, didn't bother to comment on anything but a smile cracked upon his lips on hearing Lucy's reply to Samuel's suggestion. Like many other men who had tried to woo Lucy, Samuel was trying hard to get into Lucy's good side. But what a pity, thought Calhoun to himself.
Lucy got on her own horse, and so did the others before they headed out of the castle. The hooves of the horses clip-clopped on the ground. She noticed her cousin Markus was talking to Samuel as he had no actual interest in Calhoun.
On their way, Lucy paced her horse to move forward, and she came to move next to Calhoun, who asked her, "How are you doing today?"
"I am doing okay," replied Lucy.
It had been nearly a day since Lucy had seen Ruby dead, and she clutched on the reins of the horse she was riding on. Not a single person in the castle had mentioned her death or absence, not to forget, even Amice had gone missing.
