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 walkViolet 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
Violet opened her eyes, awakened from her sleep. A feeling of embarrassment suddenly took over her as memories filled her head. Her heart was beating fast, her cheeks flushed red, remembering what had happened last night. She didn't understand why she could turn out like that."Good morning, my beloved one."It surprised her to hear Lucian's gentle voice. She just realized that he was lying next to her. He laughed softly, seeing her closing her eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. He brought his face closer to hers. "You were so... naughty last night. You sucked me dry," he whispered in her ear.She kept her eyes shut as she tried hard to hold back her laughter and embarrassment. Her laughter suddenly broke out as he tickled her waist. "Please... stop it," she said as she kept laughing and struggling.She stopped laughing and caught her breath when he stopped tickling her. The look in his gentle eyes that caught hers made her heart flutter and made her bod
Violet took Lucian back into her room. She closed the door and made him sit on the bed with her sitting beside him. "Why did you listen to my mother to cut off your arm? Why did you do that?!" she asked into his eyes in tears. He could clearly see on her face that she was so scared and so worried about him. "I'm so sorry. Please don't cry," he said with his sad look.She hugged him tightly. "Please... Promise me. Never do that again. I will never forgive myself forever if something bad happens to you because of me," she said, sobbing.He didn't care if he had to lose his arm, but he did care about her so much and about her feelings. "I promise you. I won't do that again," he said, hugging her in his arms. She said nothing, just kept crying. He kissed her forehead gently, tears filling his eyes. Seeing her cry and grieve because of him made his heart shed tears.********Lucian and Violet were now lying on the bed. He was holding her in his arms. It
Violet was in the garden behind the palace. She was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. The smile on her face was like the smiling sun shining on her from above with its gentle light. Last night after dinner, she and her mother talked a lot. They let go of their longing. Her mother even slept with her in her room. She slept soundly and had sweet dreams in her mother's warm embrace.She moved her gaze from the roses in front of her and turned around when she heard footsteps approaching towards her. "Lucian..." she said with a happy smile on her face, and he smiled back at her with a gentle smile on his face.He stopped before her, staring at her face with happiness in his eyes. He caressed her cheek gently and looked into her eyes. "You look so happy. You must have had a good time with your mother last night," he said in a soft voice.She responded with a nod, smiling. "We talked a lot. I had a nice dream about her last night," she said. The happy expressio
Violet walked into her mother's room with the pancakes she made for her mother. She smiled at her mother, who was sitting on the sofa, and her mother smiled back at her. Violet didn't know that her mother had just spoken to Lucian.Violet put the pancakes on the table in front of her mother, then she sat next to her. She was both worried and curious when she saw her mother's swollen eyes. "Mother, what's wrong? Did you just cry?" she asked into her eyes as she held her hand.Her mother hugged her in her arms. "Violet ... I love you so much ... You are my everything," she said while shedding tears. Violet hugged her mother back as she wondered why her mother was like this. Violet's mother then let go of her hug and looked her daughter in the eyes while holding back her tears. "I pray for you and Lucian. May you both live happily forever. I give you my blessing."Violet's heart suddenly beats happily upon hearing what her mother said. "Oh, God! Thank you, mo
The sun was almost setting as Lucian and Violet walked down the hall to the dining room for dinner. They stopped their steps as Eric and Oliver walked over to them and stood in front of them. "My king, Albert, sent you a message," Eric said with a worried look on his face. Oliver, who was standing beside Eric, also had the same look as him.Eric then handed a small piece of paper in his hand to Lucian. The homing pigeon that brought the message to this place. Lucian took it from Eric's hand and read it. Worry and sadness gripped him at the same time when he found out that his beloved uncle was sick."What happened?" Violet asked Lucian curiously. Lucian looked into Violet's eyes. "My uncle is sick," he said. Violet paused, staring at him. She felt what Lucian felt. Lucian held Violet's shoulder. "I have to go see him now. I'll be back here as soon as I can," he said. Tears filled her sad eyes. She didn't want him to leave, but she had no choice. She nod
The moon and stars smiled, peeking at Lucian from the window in the reading room. Lucian was sitting on the sofa in the room, crossing his legs with his index finger on his lips while his thumb on his chin. He didn't read the book, he just kept smiling. He was relieved that since morning Selina had not come looking for him.This morning he got up early and went to his uncle's room and stayed there. He sighed as he closed his eyes. He felt like a mouse hiding from a hungry cat.He opened his eyes when he heard the door to the room open. He suddenly felt like a mouse found by a cat when he saw Selina walking into the room with a bottle of wine and two glasses in her hands, and stopped before him. "There you are. I was looking for you," she said with a sweet smile on her face. He forced himself to smile back at her.She sat next to him. "I brought some wine. Have a drink with me," she said into his eyes. He nodded to her without thinking. He was still s
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
