Soon, the butler ran into the dining room in a hurry, looking at the three people sitting at the dining table in a panic.
"Bad news!"
"What happened again?"
Martha clenched her fists, and looked impatiently at the butler who suddenly ran in.
What happened to Sam made her very nervous; she was afraid that she would be involved.
She was still thinking about how to solve this matter, but before she could think it out, the butler ran in.
Stefan frowned, and looked at the butler, pretending to be puzzled, "What's going on?"
The butler wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Martha in horror, and explained why he ran in.
"Suddenly, a lot of guards came and guarded the gate of the Lucas residence."
When the servants standing nearby heard what the butler said, they immediately became nervous.
They all looked at the butler in panic, not understanding what happened to let the guards surround the Lucas residence.
"The Lucas family is a century-old family in Z Country. What makes King Ducasse so angry to send guards to surround the Lucas residence? Is King Ducasse trying to punish the Lucas family as a warning to those disobedient ministers?" Fake Martha thought, and the cold sweat on her palm grew more and more.
This time, the Lucas family was really in trouble.
The old Mrs. Lucas had the same thoughts as Martha, so she looked worried.
Stefan frowned, pretending to be in deep thought, but in fact he knew that this was Sam's plan.
The reason why he asked King Ducasse to do this was to use this opportunity to expose their enemies once and for all.
They couldn't be passive all the time, so they could only take action against their enemies in the open.
Due to the sudden incident that happened to the Lucas family, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very subtle.
In the end, Martha pushed the old Mrs. Lucas back to the room with a sad face.
By evening, Sam hadn't returned from the royal palace.
He hadn't come back for so long, adding a bit of sadness to the Lucas family.
During this period, some frightened servants tried to use excuses to go out, but they were all stopped by the guards guarding the gate.
The guard said, "The king ordered that no one from the Lucas family can go out. Anyone who disobeys will be killed."
Because of this episode, the servants of the Lucas family were in fear.
Several of the servants secretly wiped away their tears, and they knew they couldn't escape, otherwise their freedom would not be restricted at this time.
The entire Lucas family fell into panic because of this incident.
While the Lucas family was in turmoil, Stefan had been secretly watching fake Martha and the old Mrs. Lucas react.
He found that the old Mrs. Lucas still looked sick, but her eyes were full of worry.
In the evening, fake Martha hadn't heard the news of Sam coming home, so she looked even more flustered.
She walked to the door in a panic and wanted to go out, but was stopped by the guards.
The guard still looked at her indifferently, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, and his tone was full of impatience.
"Lady Martha, you are no longer the queen-to-be, and the king is not someone you can see whenever you want."
When Martha heard that, her face changed.
She didn't expect that the guard would reject her so disrespectfully.
But this guard was also King Ducasse's confidant, so she could do nothing about him.
After seeing Martha's facial expression change, the guard said coolly, "Lady Martha, please go back."
When Martha heard this, she snorted, turned and left the place.
The guards had been guarding the gate all the time, and at night, another group of guards guarding in shifts, and no one from the Lucas family was allowed to go out at all.
After Martha heard the news, she became even more flustered.
These guards had surrounded the Lucas residence all day. Had things become so serious?
She had thought Sam would come back at night.
After thinking for a while, she couldn't hold back the panic, and walked towards the old Mrs. Lucas' room with messy steps.
Soon, she walked into the old Mrs. Lucas' room in a fluster, and closed the door.
"Master, what should we do now?"
