A maid holding a bottle of wine in her hand walked into the hall and stopped by Thomas and bowed politely to him. “Sir, our king ordered me to give you this wine. He wants to thank you for the feast,” she said as she handed the bottle to him.
Thomas took it from her hand while laughing cheerfully. He then looked at the wine bottle in his hand with a satisfied look of relief, because he thought his plan to please Lucian had worked.The maid bowed politely to him before she walked away from the room. Thomas couldn't wait to taste the wine. He quickly poured the wine from the bottle into his glass and drank it all down. Horace and his men held back their laughter because they knew Lucian had put a sleeping pill in the wine.And there you go. Thomas was knocked down after a little over fifteen minutes. His shining bald head fell onto the table in front of him. His deputy sighed, seeing his village chief sleeping like a dead man. He then stood up from his chair, waViolet opened her eyes and saw the soft sunlight pouring in through the bedroom window as she heard birds chirping in the trees around the hut. She smiled as she breathed in the morning air. She slept so well last night that she no longer had panda eyes.The smile on her face suddenly turned curious as she felt her head and hands resting on something hard and warm. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, realizing that she was lying in Lucian's arms.She quickly lifted her head and hands from his chest. He pulled her by the arm as she sat up and made her lie down on top of him with his eyes fixed on hers. She couldn’t help but breathed nervously in his arms.“Don’t go. Stay with me.”She paused, staring at him. The gentle look in his eyes and his gentle voice made her unable to refuse him but to obey. Her heart beat faster and faster as his eyes slowly fell to her lips. She shivered in pleasure as he caressed her lips gently with his thumb. He tucked h
News of what had happened in Greenville spread quickly to other villages and had reached Luther's ears. Luther slammed his fist on the table in front of him with anger in his eyes. “Who dared to do that to our king?! We must find that man and skin him alive!” Luther didn't know that the man who did that was his beloved son, who was sitting on the chair opposite him. Lester stared at his father with his fake angry face. “Father, I promise you. I will find him and we will make him suffer at our hands,” he said in an angry tone. Lester laughed evilly inside as he watched his father nod trustingly into his eyes.The anger on Luther's face turned into a sad expression. “I promised your uncle before he died I would take care of Lucian and help him run our kingdom with all my heart. I want you as my only son to keep that promise when I die.”The fire of anger burned within Lester upon hearing what his father said that almost took off his mask. “Yes, father. I
Violet stood silently facing the kitchen table. Her mind and gaze were blank. She was like a statue, holding bread in her hands. Last night, Lucian ate her again, and he did that all night long. He gave her pleasure and pain. He made her come many times, and he also made her whole body sore. She gasped as she felt arms hug her waist from behind. “Is breakfast ready?” Lucian said in a soft voice with his cheek pressed against hers. “It will be ready in a minute,” she said in a nervous voice. He smiled devilry as he kept her in his arms. He enjoyed so much seeing her nervous and it made him want to tease her even more. “Please, can you wait in the chair?” she said with her heart beating rapidly. “Why? Don't you like me hugging you?” he asked back. She swallowed her nervousness. “I can't make breakfast if you keep hugging me.” He laughed softly, then he took his arms from her waist and sat on a wooden chair, watching her prepare breakfast. He could tell th
Lucian, Selina, and Horace have arrived at Sebastian's house. Selina then asked Sebastian to take her to the most beautiful place in the village. She, Lucian and Sebastian were in the horse carriage now, heading to the lake not far from Sebastian's house while Horace and his men were on their horses escorting them.“Why is this horse carriage running slowly?” Selina asked Lucian, who was sitting in the seat next to her.“You said you wanted to enjoy the view, so I told the coachman to drive slowly,” Lucian replied with a smile. “Look over there. The flowers are blooming so beautifully,” Lucian said as he pointed out the carriage window, making Selina turn her head to her left. Selina smiled with sparkling eyes, staring at the flowers without knowing that Lucian had tricked her.Sebastian, who was sitting in the seat opposite them, smiled inside. He knew what was on Lucian's mind. Selina ordered Violet and one of Sebastian's maids to go with them. She hated Viole
The sound of glass breaking on the floor was heard from inside the hut. Grover, who had just returned to guard the surroundings along with his men, immediately walked into the hut. His eyes opened wide in shock to see Darius, who was sitting on the floor, leaning his back against the wooden wall.His hand was covered in blood, injured by broken glass.“Darius! What are you doing?!” Grover asked frantically as he walked over, crouched down, holding his arm with his worried eyes on him.“I have to take revenge for my parents. I have to kill Lucian and bring Violet back into my arms,” Darius said drunkenly. He tried to stand up but couldn't. “Where are you going?” Grover said, as he put his arm around his shoulders so he wouldn't fall.“I will kill Lucian now! I will skin him alive—” Darius suddenly fell into his uncle's arms with his eyes closed.Grover's heart grieved to see his beloved nephew like this. He helped him to stand up and took him to the b
Selina and Lester were sitting on the sofa. He was holding her in his arms. They have put their clothes back on. Tears dripped from her eyes and fell to his chest. She regretted having sex with him. She told herself she shouldn't have done that.He held her chin, making her look into his eyes as he realized she was shedding tears. “Why are you crying?” he asked. She didn't answer his question, but the sad look in her eyes told him what was on her mind. “You still love him, don't you? And now you regret having sex with me.” She avoided his gaze upon hearing what he said.“I'll help you make him yours.” His words made her look back into his eyes. “Please help me. I will do anything to be with him,” she said with a pleading look. He stared at her with a sad look in his eyes, but he laughed evilly inside. She didn't know that she had fallen into the devil's trap.When Selina returned to the palace, she immediately ordered her maid to take Asther to her room. Selina,
The sun had already set when Violet was sitting on a chair in the attic. She was so sad thinking about Lucian that it brought tears to her eyes. Someone suddenly knocked on the door, making her turn her head to the door. “Violet, can I talk to you now?” Esther said from behind the door. Violet wiped her tears and stood up from the chair, walked over, and opened the door. She tried to smile at Esther to hide her sadness from her. “What is it?” she asked.“I-I'm going to see my sister now. You-you said you wanted to see her. Do you want to come with me?” Esther said nervously. “Of course! Where is she now?” Violet asked excitedly.“She's waiting for me at the inn. I already told Albert, and he allowed me to go there,” Esther said, trying hard to hide her lie, then she took Violet's arm. “Let’s go now.” Violet nodded at her with a smile on her face. They both then left the palace to the inn in a horse-drawn carriage.When they arrived there, they walked int
It was almost midnight when Lucian was sitting on the floor, leaning his back against his bed with the wine bottle in his hand. He tried to forget the sadness and pain in his heart by getting drunk, but it was no use. His heart was still crying in pain.Lucian didn't care when Albert entered his room. He kept drinking the wine that was in the bottle in his hand. Albert sighed with sadness and worry in his eyes, seeing Lucian like this. He crouched down near him, staring at him. “Young master, please stop drinking. You haven't eaten your dinner. You must eat now or you'll get sick,” he said in worry.Lucian lifted his face, looking into Albert's eyes. “Albert... why my heart hurt so much? Please... help me. I can't take it anymore,” he said, with tears falling from his swollen eyes. Albert said nothing, but the look in his eyes said everything that was on his mind. Lucian closed his eyes. "Young master!" Albert said, holding him in his arms just as he was about
The morning sun shone on the palace with its soft light. The birds singing in the trees make beautiful sounds. The people of the Melancthon kingdom are so happy because now they have a crown prince.Flowers adorn the room in the palace making the room look so beautiful. The royal family and invited guests were there. Selina who was standing next to Lucian holding her baby couldn't stop smiling. It was clear on her face that she was so happy. Happiness filled her eyes. Her smile is like a smiling sun. Lucian smiled with deep sadness in his eyes. Only Albert, Aurora, and Garret knew how Lucian felt. The three of them stared at him with sadness in their eyes."Thank you all for being with us here. On this happy moment I would like to introduce my son to all of you. His name is Arthur Steverus. He is our crown prince," Lucian said to all of them.The royal family and guests bowed politely to the baby in Selina's arms with smiles on their faces and happiness
Dark clouds covered the sky as Oliver's body burned in the fire. The rain that fell hide the tears that dripped from Lucian's, Eric's, and Horace's eyes. Garret who was standing with them looked at them with sadness filling his eyes. He could feel how sad they were to lose Oliver forever.They all returned to the tent after the burial ceremony was over. Lucian was sitting on a chair while Eric, Horace, and Garret were standing in front of him."Your Highness, I'm sorry for your loss," Garret said into Lucian's eyes in a mournful tone. Lucian said nothing just looking at him with deep sadness in his eyes.Garret was silent as he hesitated to speak. He asked himself if this was the right time to pass the message from his queen to him. "Your Highness," he finally said. "I just got a message from my queen. She said she wanted to meet you at her palace.""How dare your queen ask our king that after what she has done to us! She is the one who declared war! All
Violet laid Darius' body on the bed in tears. She placed the wood carving in the shape of the violet flower that took his life in his hands which was on his chest. She stared at his face with her heart crying. Sadness and guilt gripped her at the same time because she had taken the life of the person who loved her with all his heart.Violet wiped her tears as she tried to stop crying. She told herself she must save the life of the person she loves most. She then walked to the door and opened it. There were no guards manning the door because Darius had told them to leave. She quickly ran to find Garret. He is the head of the palace guard who is loyal to Aurora. She wanted to ask him for help to save his queen.Violet felt relieved when she saw Garret and the six guards walking down the hall of the palace. "Wait!" she said in a loud voice making them all turn their heads towards her. She quickly ran over and stood in front of them catching her breath. Albion and
The sun had set when Violet was sitting on a bed in her room. She was staring at a wood carving in the shape of a violet flower in her hands. It was Darius who carved it for her and gave it to her as her birthday present. She took it with her when she and her mother ran away from their palace.She touched the flower stalk with her heart beating fast in fear. "Don't be afraid. You have to do that. You have to kill him to save him," she told herself over and over again.She quickly put the flower in her hands under the pillow when she heard footsteps approaching her room and she looked at the door while trying to calm her rapid heartbeat."Princess Violet, Prince Darius wants you to see him now," a man said from behind the door.Curiosity took over Violet's mind upon hearing what the man said. She stood up from the bed, walked over to the door and opened it.She saw a man dressed in army uniform standing in front of her.He is one of Darius'
After Darius brought Violet back to her room, he went to the room where Aurora was lying on the bed. He walked into the room and closed the door. The doctor who had just finished injecting the potion into the vein in Aurora's arm bowed with a wicked smile on his face as Darius stood by the bed. "My prince," he greeted him."Leave us," Darius said with his eyes fixed on Aurora's face. "Yes, my prince," the doctor said obediently. He walked to the door and closed it before he left the room.Darius sat on the bed staring at Aurora's face with an evil smile on his face. "You told me you really loved the story of the sleeping beauty. You wish you could become like her. You should thank me for making your wish come true," he said in a soft, mocking tone.Anger burned within Aurora upon hearing what Darius said. Her heart screamed and cried in sadness and pain. Tears dripped from her closed eyes."Please ... don't cry," he said pretending to be sad. "It breaks m
Black clouds covered the moon and stars, imprison them in the dark. Tears dripped from Violet's closed eyes. She was lying on the bed with Darius beside her who was sleeping. Every night he f*cked her. He made her feel like she was living in hell and there was no way to escape.Violet opened her eyes then she looked at Darius' face with hatred and anger filling her eyes. She told herself that this was a good chance to kill him. But how to kill him she asked herself. She doesn't have a knife; she doesn't even have a fork. She wanted to strangle his neck to death, but she didn't have the strength to do so.The furrow on her forehead disappeared when her brain told her something. "Right! I have to pretend to obey him and be kind to him so I can get out of this room," she said in her mind.She moved her gaze away from his face looking ahead and closed her eyes. "No! Please ... Please help me. I'm scared," she said in fear. She pretended to have a bad dream.
Aurora opened her eyes, awake from her nightmare. Her heart beats even faster in fear as she realizes her nightmare has become a reality. She was being tied to the cross with a piece of cloth stuffed into her mouth. She struggled to get her hands off the cross, but it was no use. She was so helpless she couldn't even scream, she could only cry.Anger, sadness and disappointment filled her eyes as she saw Darius, who was sitting on a wooden chair in front of her, with two of his men standing on his left and right. They were staring at her with evil looks in their eyes.The man standing on the left looked at Darius. "My prince, are you going to kill her now?" he asked. The man shocked Aurora by asking that."I can't kill her now. Everyone would be suspicious if I did that," Darius said as he kept staring into Aurora's face."My prince, you can't let her live. She already knows about you," the man standing on the right saidwith a wary look.
"Kill them all! Show them no mercy!" Lucian shouted in anger, with a sword in his hand. He and his armies are fighting to get their land back. Lucian slaughtered his enemies without mercy. He pierced their hearts, slashing their heads. He vented his anger in them. All he had in mind was to kill them all and bring Violet back into his arms. He desperately wanted to skin Darius alive with his own hands.Horace, Eric, and Oliver kept protecting their king from the attacks of their enemies. They knew what was on his mind. He couldn't think straight because of the anger that was burning inside him and that made them so worried about him.In one day, Lucian and his armies have killed all their enemies and got the village of Tyrus back. The ground was covered with blood, flesh, and the body parts of their enemies scattered everywhere."Tell our armies to move now. We must go to Tingis and kill them all!" Lucian said into Horace's eyes as he caught his breath. He looked
"Kill them all!" Baracus, who was on his horse, said in a loud voice to his soldiers. They are invading the village of Edessa. The soldiers defending the village trembled in fear at the sight of their enemies, who were shouting bravely while raising their swords. The fear that crept into their souls made them lose their courage and leave nothing but helplessness.The soldiers of Baracus attacked their enemies and killed them without mercy. They tore out their chests and pulled out their hearts. They pierced their eyes and behead their heads. Their blood, flesh, and heads scattered on the ground. The sounds of screams of pain escaping from their mouths made those who heard them tremble in fear and grit their teeth.Three men on horses suddenly appeared from behind Baracus. They run their horses swiftly. One of them beheaded Baracus before he could blink. His head separated from his body and fell to the ground.The soldiers stopped fighting when they s
