I believe the best thing to do right now is Athy doing everything in her power to prevent the uncle and everyone else from leaving the room. She already call for Lucas and he could be here at any time. It would be so dumb for letting an opportunity like this go away, the uncle ( I’m assuming that’s not even him) is in panik mode and if Athy could just extend the atmosphere..

yeah, but she doesn't know the past that clearly, so she cant take that risk
if lucas comes all on his own, daddy's condition could be revealed and him using black magic, the nobles might really believe
(if lucas can just transform to daddy that would solve it, but if he could, i think he already would have)
And that’s why you always make sure your door are locked :)
