Two days have passed since the incident that caused Darius' arm to break. The sun had set when Aurora, her father, and Darius were having dinner in the dining room. It was the first time they had eaten together in the room.
King Turin's butler, who was standing in the room, sighed inwardly, seeing his king and his princess taking such great care of Darius. They ordered the palace chef to cook his favorite dish. King Turin made Darius sit in the chair next to him. He poured him wine, talked, and joked with him. They look like one happy family.Darius noticed the butler kept stealing glances at him with displeasing and suspicious looks. He pretended not to notice. He kept wearing his mask. Darius tells himself that he will gouge out his eyes and cut off his head once he becomes king.All eyes in the room suddenly turned to Aurora, as she wanted to vomit. She's been feeling unwell for the past week. Darius immediately got up from the chair and stood by her, puttingLucian was standing at the window in the reading room, staring at the moon shining in its dim light. His body is here, but his mind and heart are elsewhere. "Violet ... I miss you so much ..." he said in his mind. He closed his eyes as he held back his sadness and his longing for her.Lucian had not seen Violet since he left her palace. Selina didn't give him the chance to see her. She made him stay in their uncle's castle under the pretext of taking care of him. She ordered her maids to spy on his every move, so he couldn't go nowhere. She made him like a mouse in a cage with a possessive cat.Lucian opened his eyes and looked at the door of the room as it opened. He sighed helplessly as he watched the possessive cat walk in and stand before him. Selina's eyes gripped Lucian's. "It's late now. Why are you still in here?" she pretended to ask. She already knew the reason why he was still here."I'm not sleepy yet. I'm reading a book," he lied and gave her a fake
"Violet ... Wake up ..."Violet opened her eyes and saw her mother sitting next to her, holding her arm. She wondered why her mother was looking at her with such a serious look. "Mother, what is it?" she asked and sat on the bed, leaning her back against the headboard. "We have to leave this place," her mother replied.Her mother surprised her by saying that. "Mother, we can't leave this place. Those guards won't let us go," Violet asked with both worry and curiosity in her eyes. "You should read this," her mother said as she handed her the letter in her hand. Curiosity gripped Violet even more. She took the letter and read it."Helena, it's me Darius. Give the potion to the guards behind the palace. They will fall asleep after drinking it. Go to the inn on the outskirts of town. My men are waiting for you and Violet there. They will bring you both to me."Violet's heart raced. She smiled with a startle, happiness and relief on her face. She moved her eye
Lucian was sitting on a chair covering his face with his hands with his elbows on the desk in front of him. His eyes were closed and his brows furrowed. The sadness and despair gripped him so firmly that he couldn't think straight and didn't know what to do.When they celebrated Selina's pregnancy party a few days ago, all the guests could tell that Lucian was grieving. It was clear on his face, even though he had tried to cover it up with a smile. There was no happiness in his eyes, there was only sadness filling his eyes.Lucian's uncle realized that, and it made him even more curious. He wondered why his nephew looked so sad and kept thinking about something, even on such a happy day. Selina already knew that her husband would grieve at her pregnancy party. She kept trying to smile, putting on a happy face, but inside she screamed with the fire of anger burning within her."I have to meet her and explain everything to her," Lucian told himself. He kept thinki
Lucian and his men kept looking for Violet on their horses. They searched the entire kingdom of Merrill, but still couldn't find her. Lucian stopped his horse, followed by his men in the deep forest. They were so exhausted they had not slept for almost three days."Violet ... Where are you? Why can't I find you?" Lucian said in his mind desperately. Tears filled his eyes. His heart missed her so much and kept begging him to see her."My king!" one of the chief guards suddenly said, making Lucian and the others turn their heads towards him. "I just remembered that there is a secret path in this forest that leads to the Vidonia kingdom. It is to the west of this forest."Hope suddenly rose within Lucian upon hearing what he said. "Lead the way!" Lucian said in a hurry. "Yes, my king," the man said with a nod. He then ran his horse, followed by the others behind.The sun was almost setting as Violet and Darius' men almost arrived at the border between the Me
Lucian was sitting on a sofa in a bedroom with anger filling his eyes. Horace had brought him back to the kingdom of Merrill's palace and locked him in there. He had to do that because his beloved king had lost his mind. He had sent a message to Luther and told him everything that had happened. He was waiting for him and Selina to arrive at this palace.Lucian closed his eyes as he furrowed his brows. His jaws and palms clenched. The worry, sadness, longing, and despair that gripped him firmly made him go crazy and made his heart cry.Lucian opened his eyes and looked at the door of the room as it opened. For a second, he forgot how he felt when he saw his beloved uncle walk into the room along with Selina and Horace.It startled Lucian when Selina suddenly slapped him on the cheek. "Have you lost your mind?! You risked your life for that slut! How could you do that to me? I will die if you die!" Selina said into his eyes in anger. Her cry broke. She didn't pret
Aurora and Darius were lying on their bed. He was holding her in his arms. She had a happy smile on her face. Her heart beats happily. She was so fool. She didn't realize that she was in the devil's arms.The smile on her face suddenly disappeared as she remembered something. She lifted her head from his warm, hard chest and looked into his eyes. "Darius, when the meeting, why did you say those words? You were the one who told me to declare war," she asked, curious.His eyes turned into a worried, sad look. He already had an answer in his mind that he had prepared beforehand. He knew she would ask him the question. "I don't want you to fight with them because of me. Besides, what they said was right. War will bring suffering to our people and I don't want that to happen. But," his gaze turned serious, "We will fight back if Lucian dares to invade us." He smiled evilly on the inside, seeing her touched by his words. She believed his lie."But ... you said you had
Lucian and the others turned towards the door of the room when someone knocked on it. "Come in," said Lucian. The door opened and a man in black walked in and stood next to the others. "My king, I have news for you," the man said into Lucian's eyes."What is it?" Lucian asked, curious."Violet's mother has died a few days ago. The guards killed her in the forest when they fled from this place," the man replied.The man had shocked Lucian as well as the others by saying that. Lucian clenched his fists with his eyes filled with anger and sadness. He thought that his uncle and Selina had ordered the guards to kill her. He stood up from the chair and walked out of the room in anger to find Selina, followed by the others from behind.Lucian and the others stopped their footsteps when they met Selina and her maid in the hallway leading to the study room. Selina wanted to find Lucian in the room. Selina gasped in startle as Lucian grabbed her arm with his angry
Dozens of men on horseback entered a small village on the outskirts of the town in the night. The sound of horses' footsteps awakened the villagers who were dreaming."Kill them all! Show them no mercy!" one of them said in a loud voice.Shock and fear suddenly gripped the villagers firmly at the same time. Before they could blink, those men broke into the entrance of their house and started killed them.The man who was still on his horse smiled evilly, watching his men slaughter the villagers. He closed his eyes, enjoying the sound of screams of pain accompanied by voices begging for mercy. It was like the sounds of beautiful music to him.Those men then came out of the houses with blood on their hands and all over their bodies. They smiled at each other like they were just having fun. They mounted onto their horses and they all left the village while laughing.The village was quiet as before. There were no more screams of pain and voices begging
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
