Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 80

Beside the flower bed, Lucian, dressed in his princely attire, slowly walked towards the woman clad in a plain gown. His eyes were fixated on her.

He lifted his long fingers, seemingly intending to touch the woman's hand, but she stepped back and softly said, "Your Grace, please restrain yourself."

"Cut! Cut! Cut!"

At that moment, Cedric jumped out from behind the camera and yelled, "Lucian! Your expression is way too fierce. Remember, she's the woman you love, not your arch-nemesis! What's going on with you today?"

An awkward silence fell over the set. Lucian's face was tense, Liliana looked uncomfortable, and everyone else didn’t say a word.

Another take ruined. Just then, Finnian arrived, and Cedric announced, "Alright, let's take a break. Everyone, gather your thoughts! If this doesn't work, we'll shoot the next scene."

With that, everyone dispersed. Liliana, holding up her long dress, approached Finnian, looking rather aggrieved.

She looped her arm through Finnian's and said, "Finn, I'm exhausted. We did that scene over ten times and still haven’t succeed. Lucian kept giving me this hostile look. You'd think he had something against me."

Liliana was just venting a little, not expecting Lucian to overhear her. He walked over to her and Finnian, his expression icy as he claimed, "You're right. I do loathe you."

Liliana was rendered speechless.

Everyone on set, all seasoned adults familiar with the drama of showbiz, was taken aback by Lucian's bluntness. They turned to look at him in surprise.

"Why do you loathe me?" Liliana asked, momentarily stunned.

Lucian's handsome face was cold. "Because you keep picking on Amara."
