As Williams and Susan approached Lance's chamber, they heard things scattering and shattering inside, and they both stopped in front of the door and turned to look at each other.
"You should stay back. I will go in on my own." Williams said to his sister, but she shook her head.
"No. We should go in together. He won't dare do anything rash if we are together."
Although Williams looked worried about going in there with Susan, he nodded. He knew that she was not going to change her mind, and besides, it was unfair to suddenly make her wait behind when she had come this far.
While Williams was hesitating to knock on the door, Susan opened it and was about to enter the room when Williams held her back and looked at her with wide, questioning eyes.
How could she just open the door like that without knocking when she knew she was going into the chamber of a man?
"What?" Susan mouthed to him before she pushed the door wide open and entered. As soon as they did, a dagger came flying in their direction, and thankfully, the twins were able to dodge it, and the dagger flew out of the room.
Lance looked at the intruders with an angry face while Williams looked all around the room that looked like a war had been fought and conquered inside.
Meanwhile, Susan kept her eyes on the dagger that was stuck in the wall outside before looking at Lance with a smile, saying, "You are quite good at using daggers. I bet you can stab people you do not like repeatedly with it."
Williams almost facepalmed, but he just rolled his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Lance bellowed at them.
"We came to see you," Williams said just as he shut the door behind him.
He waved his hand repeatedly as he asked them to get out before he collapsed on his messy bed and shut his eyes.
"Did you kill Beth because she annoyed you?" Susan asked, going straight to the point, while her brother shot her a pointed look, asking if she was crazy.
Lance furrowed his brows before he opened his eyes and glared at Susan, then he sat up immediately, wincing as he touched his head.

"That's the servant that died? Why are they making a fuse out of it? Wait! You are suspecting me of killing that stupid maid?" He asked in disbelief. "Is that why you are here?"
"No."
"Yes."
Williams and Susan said at the same time. Williams turned to glare at Susan, but her focus was on Lance, who was staring at the two of them as if they had lost their minds.
"I would have gladly killed her myself!" He said in annoyance. "I promised to teach that filthy thing a lesson, but someone else beat me to it!" He hit his chest repeatedly as if he was feeling wronged.
"When you find out who did that to her, let me know. I am going to pay that person back for ruining my plans." He spat out bitterly. "Now, get lost."
The twins looked at each other again. They both had the same look of confusion on their faces. Was he faking this?
"So you do not believe Princess Amber killed Beth?" Williams asked curiously.
"Princess Amber? Prince Harold's wife?" Lance asked in confusion, "How can a weak human like her kill that filthy maid?" He asked, curious.
"You have no idea what has been happening?" Williams asked in confusion. How come he was sounding oblivious when everyone in the palace knew what had been happening in the past few days?
"Princess Amber killed her?" Lance asked, smiling, "That is interesting. I didn't know she had it in her."
"Where were you that night during the hunt? You were not present there, were you?" Susan asked him seriously.
"What?" Lance asked, sitting up again. "Are you really suspecting me of killing her?" He asked in disbelief.
"You have to answer my question," Susan said angrily, and Lance laughed dryly before standing up.
"I was willing to listen to you two because you are related to the queen. But your time is up. Get out."
As soon as he was done saying that, he shoved Williams.

Susan's eyes widened, and before Williams could react, she stood in between them and shoved Lance.
"If you lay your filthy hands on my little brother again, I am going to rip your tongue out of your mouth and make you swallow it." She said darkly while glaring daggers at Lance.
Williams gritted his teeth in annoyance at the way she had addressed him, but Lance, on the other hand, was looking at her with a different look that she had never seen before.
"Goodness!" Lance exclaimed, surprised.
"That was... lovely."
His reaction confused Susan, who looked at him in confusion before turning to look at her brother.
"Your name is Luciana, right?" Lance asked with his eyes fixed on Susan.
"Susan," she spat out, still glaring at him.
"Oh! Susan. Luciana is Prince Ivan's former bride. I remember," He smiled again, and Susan could not deny that this guy was creepy.
Williams pushed her to the side and gave her a warning glare before turning his vicious eyes at Lance, who suddenly seemed to have a weird interest in his sister.
"Tell us what you know," Williams demanded.
Lance suddenly looked serious, and he went back to sit down before putting up his hands.
"Okay, I had no hand in it. And I am surprised to hear this."
His eyes went to Susan again, "Ask me what you want. Come sit beside me." He tapped beside him on the messy bed and received a nasty look from the twin siblings.
"Did you do everything on purpose so it would be blamed on Princess Amber just to get back at Prince Harold?" Susan asked.
Lance winced again and touched his forehead.
"Why would I do something like that? Do you know what my father is going to do to me if I did something like that? That is treason!" Lance said with a frown, wondering why they would ever think he was capable of something like that.
