Violet stopped her steps when she was inside the attic. She sat on the chair crying. She could stand hearing people say she was a dirty slut, but she couldn't stand it when those words came out of the mouth of the person she loved the most. Her heart felt so sad she couldn't bear the pain.
She turned her head towards the door as it opened. Fear suddenly gripped her firmly as she watched Lester walk into the room with a devilish smile on his face, looking into her eyes.“What are you doing here?” she asked as she stood up from the chair and stepped back. "I miss you. Don't you miss me?" he teases her as he keeps walking towards her.The fear and chill ran down her spine, making her body freeze as her back hit the wall. She trapped there with the wall behind her and the beast before her. It brought back her memories of when she was at the inn, and it scared her to death.His strong, big hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her to him. "Get off me! OThe sun smiled with its soft light, leaving the moon asleep. Birds chirping cheerfully in the trees welcome the morning. But not with Lucian, who was sitting in the chair behind his desk. There was no smile on his face. He kept busy with his work to forget his sadness and pain and also to hide from Selina's clutches.Albert, who was standing by his desk pouring tea for him, heaved a sad sigh inside. His brain kept busy thinking about how to help him.They both looked at the door when they heard footsteps and they saw Selina walking into the room with a frown on her face. Albert tried to hold back his smile when he saw Lucian's face, which was like a mouse who was looking at a cat.“Why are you in here? You promised me to have breakfast with me,” Selina said into Lucian's eyes as she stood in front of the desk.“I'm sorry I couldn't have breakfast with you. I have a lot of work to do now,” Lucian replied."Then I won't eat breakfast," Selina said, scowling.
On the way back to the palace, Lucian kept stealing glances at Violet. He saw her in a different way than before. His eyes were now filled with happiness and tenderness. Arriving at the palace, Lucian immediately took Albert to his workroom. He told Selina he had a lot of work to do. He lied to her. He wanted to run from her.Lucian was sitting in a chair behind his desk. He furrowed his brows in thought with his index finger on his lips. Then he turned his head to Albert, who was standing to his left.“Albert, did you see her cry when Selina kissed me?”“Yes, young master.”“Is she sad and jealous of me?”“Yes, young master.”“Does that mean... she loves me?”“Yes, young master.”Albert smiled, seeing Lucian smiling happily. Albert knew Lucian was smart in everything, but he had no experience in love. Violet is his first love.“But why? Why did she do that? Why did she lie to me?” Lucian asked with a confused look. Some
When Lucian arrived at the palace, he immediately went into his room. He took the wine from the table and drank it. He wanted to forget everything that had happened, but he couldn't. He turned his head to the door as it opened and he saw Albert walking in and standing in front of him. “Young master, please don't be angry with Violet. She loves you. She's just jealous—”“She doesn't love me! She loves Darius! There will never be me in her heart,” Lucian said, raising his voice. Albert paused, staring at him. He told himself to keep his mouth shut. Lucian was so angry now that he couldn't think straight. Anything he said would only make him angrier.Lucian drank the wine, then he said without looking at Albert. “Go now, leave me alone. Tell Selina I'm sleeping.” Albert sighed inside. He didn't want to leave him. He wanted to be with him, but he had no choice. He then bowed politely and forced his feet to walk and left the room.Lucian sat in the chair. Tears dripp
Lucian, Selina, and Horace immediately went to Luther's castle when they heard Lester had died. When they arrived there, they immediately headed into Luther's room. Luther was lying in bed with the doctor who was treating him. The death of his beloved son saddened him so much that he fell unconscious when he saw his son's dead body before his eyes.The doctor, who was standing by the bed, immediately bowed politely when he saw them. Selina immediately sat on the bed and held her uncle's hand as she looked at his face. “Uncle...” she said tearfully.Luther opened his eyes. Tears dripped from his eyes as he watched Selina cry. He then shifted his gaze to Lucian. “Lucian....” he said in a weak voice. “Yes, uncle,” Lucian replied with tears filling his eyes.“Igor has told me everything that happened. Lester has hidden Darius and Grover in a hut in the forest in the kingdom of Merrill. He helped them to frame you. He will tell you where they are and then he will kil
Lucian and Horace headed back to the palace after Lester's funeral ceremony was over while Selina remained in the castle accompanying her uncle, who has grieved. Lester had left this world forever with wishes that would never come true.On the way to the palace, Lucian stopped his horse, followed by Horace. “You go back to the palace. I have something to do,” Lucian said into Horace's eyes.Horace paused for a moment as he wondered where Lucian wanted to go, but he didn't dare to ask him. “Yes, my king,” he answered politely. Lucian then rode his horse away from Horace, who was staring at him with a question in his mind.The sun was almost setting when Lucian arrived at the hut in the middle of the forest where Violet was. Eric and Oliver, who were sitting on wooden chairs outside the hut, immediately stood up when they saw their king walking over and standing before them. “My king,” they greeted him.“Is Prince Lester dead? Albert told us that Darius had
Violet and Lucian were sitting on the bed. He was feeding her porridge. Her heart was beating happily because he treated her so gently. She tried hard to hide what she felt from him. She kept avoiding his eyes, looking at the morning sun shining through the bedroom window. Lucian smiled with a relieved expression on his face, as the porridge in the bowl in his hand was empty. He moved his gaze from the bowl to her face. “The doctor said your body is weak, so you get sick easily. You must eat nutritious food,” he said, making her look into his eyes. Her heart beat uncontrollably when she saw him smiling gently at her. She quickly looked ahead as she tried to calm her rapid heartbeat. Sadness filled his eyes seeing her like that. He thought she didn't like him and hated him for treating her badly."Wait here. I'll cook for you," he said and stand up from the bed.He surprised her by saying that. She watched him walk
Violet opened her eyes, waking up from her sleep. Her heart beat happily seeing Lucian, who was lying next to her, embracing her in his arms. The gentle morning sun shining through the window shone on Lucian's face. She couldn't take her eyes off him. His handsome face made her heart melt.She smiled with happiness filling her eyes as she saw him smiling happily in his sleep. She could feel what he felt. Back then, they felt like they were in a nightmare and now they feel like they were in a beautiful dream.A feeling of sadness and guilt took over her, watching him sleep so soundly. She knew that all this time he couldn't sleep thinking about her. He always had dark circles around his sad eyes. He also looks thinner because he has no appetite. There was no happiness in his eyes. She only saw sadness and pain in his eyes."Lucian... I'm so sorry..." she said in her mind as she swore to herself never to break his heart again. She will make him smile. She would ne
The sun was almost setting when the horse carriage carrying Lucian, Violet, Eric, and Oliver arrived at a village. They are all inside the doctor's house now."How is he?" Lucian asked after the doctor finished examining Oliver, who was lying on the bed. "Did he eat something before he got sick?" the doctor asked him back. "Yes! He ate wild berries from the forest," said Eric before Lucian had time to open his mouth to ask him.The doctor furrowed his brows while nodding a little to himself. Then he looked into Lucian's eyes. "Those berries are poisonous. That's why he got sick." Lucian, Violet, and Eric turned to Oliver with worried look upon hearing what the doctor said."I told you not to eat it and you're still eating it!" Eric scolded Oliver. Oliver said nothing, just staring at him. His face was like that of a sick puppy."I think all of you should stay here tonight," the doctor said to Lucian. "Thank you doctor," Lucian said. The doctor nodded a li
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
