"Can you stay here for a few days?" Lucifer requested.
Lucas is taken aback by his sudden request.
"It's for Lola's safety. You saw what is happening around her. I don't want to take risks with her life" Lucifer tried to convince Lucas, misunderstanding his silence as reluctance.
Lucas wants the same thing, but he wanted clarity from Lucifer.
"Are you asking me to be her bodyguard?" he asked to make sure that he understood correctly. He doesn't mind being her bodyguard, but he doesn't want to assume things.
Lucifer doesn't exactly mean that. He wanted to keep Lucas close to his daughter, as selfish as that might look. Lucas is the only person who could protect his daughter from every threat. As a father, he wanted his daughter to be safe.
"Oh no, please don't misunderstand my words. I can never make such a request with a person of your stature. It's just that, I couldn't recognize the potted plants until you pointed them ou
Lucifer and the others were elated to see the Princess awake. The entire palace was bustling with excitement. Lucifer called in for a celebration to celebrate his daughter's health and thank Lucas. Lucas was shown to his room and was invited by Lucifer to attend the dinner party he was hosting that evening. Lucas noticed that he has a closet full of human clothes in his temporary room, thanks to Lucifer. He picked something simple and casual. In the underworld, the demons prefer to wear a shirt and a belt is tied around their waist. They complete their ensemble with tight breeches and they prefer knee-length boots for their feet. But Lucas picked a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers. He doesn't belong to any world, so he can choose to wear whatever makes him feel comfortable. By the time he reached the great hall, celebrations have already begun. The great hall is like a ballroom in the palace. There are several small round tables arranged all around t
Just like Lucas ordered, the maid came with the soup which would be light and give strength to Lola."Now drink this" Lucas pushed the soup bowl closer to her.Lola looked at the thick soup filled with steamed meat pieces and lots of vegetables in it."What is this?" she asked with a frown."Soup" he replied, making fun of her.Lola tried to glare at him but failed when a smile slipped past her lips."You know that's not what I am asking" she pointed out.Lucas smirked."Thought of having some fun at your expense. I noticed you are not a brat here. So I can tease you, taunt you and even torment you, but you will not retaliate. Because I am your guest" he pointed out.Lola smirked."Don't make the mistake of underestimating me" she teased him with the same mischievous twinkle she used to possess on the island."Game on princess. It's my turn to play pranks on you" he winked at her.For the
Two people met under the blanket of darkness."What happened? Is she dead yet?" One of them asked."No, Lord Lucifer brought someone from the human world. He removed the plants from her room. She is recovering" the other one replied."Damn it. How is it possible? Who is he?" the first one demanded."I don't know, but Lord Lucifer respects him a lot. I noticed that the princess is fond of him too. I think they are acquainted with each other in the past" the second one replied.The first one became thoughtful."No matter whatever happens, I want her dead. If this new man tries to protect her, kill him as well. I want Lucifer to suffer just like I did" the first one said with anger."Alright. What do you want me to do next?" the second one asked?The first person retried a vial from his breeches."This vial will make lesser demons lose their mind and crave blood. You said the princess likes a good sword fight. Give this to
Lola reached the training ground which is situated just outside the palace on the right side. The training ground is filled with sand so that the movements are a little restrained and the legs would get some workout. This is a technique that is used to increase the stealth of the warrior. If a warrior is used to moving on the soft sand, then it is easy for him to move on all kinds of grounds. The training ground is open, and the weapons for the training are neatly arranged to one side. Anyone who wants to train can pick their weapon of choice from the available weapons. Lola's weapon of choice is mostly a sword and at times she loves to target practice with a bow and arrow.When the guards noticed that the princess is coming, they stood aside and allowed the princess to choose her opponent. Lola randomly chose a warrior and went to pick up her sword.No one saw her chosen warrior drinking spiked water just before walking into the middle of the training ground. He
The anger in his gaze is so palpable, that she took several steps back with fear. Lola noticed his anger as well."Lucas" she called him softly to divert his attention from the poor maid. Lola is not sure about what made him so mad. She didn't see him this angry even when she ruined his laptop. So she understood that something must have happened to upset him this much.The moment her voice penetrated the haze of his anger, his eyes softened a little. He looked at her quietly."It's alright. They can help me now. I am not in pain anymore" she tried to assure him."No" Lucas refused to hand her over to them without a pause.The guards became angry when he refused the request made by their princess. They considered his refusal as an insult to their princess. So they surrounded Lucas to hurt him. Lola noticed it and so did Lucas."What are you doing?" She cried with shock. She is sure Lucas can handle them just fine, but she is worried about the
She began to punch him on his chest for doing that to her. She is shocked to realize that she actually liked it and she is even wet. Tears of humiliation and confusion ran down her cheeks and she didn't stop hitting until she is exhausted. Lucas remained quiet and let her vent out all of her anger on him. "How could you do that to me?" she glared at him. He looked at her with an unreadable expression. She should learn to act smart when the situation is out of control and mainly when she might end up losing her life. He is still angry about everything that happened down there. Lord Lucifer went somewhere with some business and handed Lola to him and believed that Lucas would keep his daughter safe. But just a few minutes after Lucifer left the palace, this happened. With or without her father's request, Lucas would have protected Lola. He has grown fond of her. He is a recluse and he is shocked to admit this to himself in the first place. "But you
"Sir, this is bad" Amon shared what he found out when treating the wounded warrior.Lucas frowned with anger.'Who wants to kill Lola? She is not someone who would offend anyone just like that. Then why?' he wondered.Lucifer won't be here for another week. Lucas doesn't have the authority to order the demon warriors to find out about the person who filled the water pitchers near the training area from where the warrior drank the water from.'I cannot sit and wait until Lord Lucifer could come back. I need to find out who is after Lola's life' Lucas thought."Apart from Lola, who has the authority to order the warriors to investigate this case?" Lucas asked Amon."It's minister Belial" Amon replied.Lucas shook his head.The hierarchy in the underworld is not his concern, but he doesn't want to tell all of this to Lola and make her worry. She is yet to recover from her earlier attack. And based on his earlier interaction
Lola was busy with royal works for the entire day. The incident that happened that morning is still fresh in her mind. She was so focused on her opponent, that she didn't think about alerting the guards. She was so lost in her thoughts, that she didn't see Belial standing there and talking with someone. She walked past him without greeting. Belial became furious. The other minister Abadon, with whom Belial was conversing chuckled, making fun of Belial."You are chasing after her for the past few years since she came of age. But she refused to acknowledge you or your affection for her. The entire palace knows about your interest in her. They are laughing behind your back when are making a fool of yourself again and again in front of them. What is more embarrassing is that she is more interested in that man who came from the human world than you. I heard that he carried her this morning to her room. There is not a chance that Lord Lucifer would agree to marry the princess off w
Epilogue 2 After 10 years, In a small town named Vimbleton which is closer to the borders of a country, where the army officials, constant security checks, army vehicles and they helicopters are a common sight. In that town lives a girl named Ariel, who lost both her parents. Her father was an army man, who perished doing his duty. Her mother who couldn't live away from her father relocated to the town where her father died so that she could stay close to her husband. After a few years, she too passed away with heartache, leaving the teenager alone. Ariel finished her school and began to work part-time for her expenses. Their house which is situated at the end of the town is the only thing left behind by her parents. She disguises herself as a boy to protect herself from bullies. Ares is born as Atticus, the chief military officer stationed near the borders of Wimbledon. Despite being young, he climbed the ranks with his smart war skills and accurate predictions. To date, not a
Lucian began to court Faiya, which Lucas didn't like at all. "He is trying to win her over" he grumbled one day with his wife Lola. Lola laughed at his anxiety. "Why are you so against it anyway? She came of age and he already asked your permission for this. You agreed then with the condition that he should not court her untill she turns eighteen. Now when she turned eighteen and he is trying softly to win her heart, you don't look like you are liking it at all" she pointed out. Lucas grumbled with displeasure. Lucian asked his permission for Faiya's hand a few years ago. He know Faiya dosent like Lucian much. So Lucas agreed thinking that his daughter is never going to accept Lucian because she doesn't like him. But now, she doesn't look like she hates him anymore. He dosent want to know what Lucian is doing to soften her towards him. "She is still young" he said instead. Lola smiled at him softly. "She might look younger to you, but she is an adult now. She can take her own de
Faiya noticed Lucian coming closer. She panicked and fled from the ballroom where the party is being hosted. Lucian smirked and closely followed after her.Faiya ran out of the ballroom and out towards the courtyard. She knows he will find her if she runs into her bed-chamber. Lucian is very talented. He has the talent to unlock any lock in seconds. Once she made the mistake of hiding in her bed-chamber. But he unlocked the door and walked in, effectively trapping her. She ran into a dark corner and hid behind a tree with thick branches. She hid there for a few minutes. When she didn't hear any approaching footsteps, she peeked from behind the tree and came face to face with her tormentor.She gasped with shock when she saw him standing right in front of her. With each deep intake of her breath, her breasts are touching his hard chest.She tried to move away from him, but he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her beck into him, leaving little to no space between their bodies
Epilogue 1, Sneak peak FIFTEEN YEARS later.. Today little Faiya turned 18. Lucas and Lola arranged a big party for her. Faiya is innocent. Lucas is too protective of his daughter. The little physical training she received is because of her mother's insistence. 'She doesn't need to train so hard' This is what Lucas always complains about whenever he finds his daughter training. 'She has to ' This is how Lola replies. Even though Lucas never liked it, he couldn't say no to his wife. Thus Faiya is trained in the art of fighting with weapons. But that's where it began and it ended. Lucas sheltered her and never let her see the bad and worst around the world. Faiya always looks at the world optimistically. She tries to see only the good in people. Even though she is pampered, she is not spoiled. She respects everyone, no matter their status. But as much as she is pampered, the same cannot be said for her little brother who is three years younger than her. Lucas forced him to trai
Lola giggled at his comment.Ares sat beside her. His body is weak and he is sure he will not live to see the sunrise the next morning. So he came to spend some time with his son and daughter-in-law. "A few years ago, all types of women used to flirt with me and I used to get annoyed by their behavior. It's not like I will ever miss those days, it was like a nightmare. It was quite difficult to navigate at a party or a gathering without being flirted with and surrounded by women. None of them wanted to have a meaningful conversation with me. It was so tiring" he shared with a wince when he remembered those days.Lola giggled at his experience. "Must be hard" she commented.Ares chuckled when he remembered how he had to hide in the bathroom just to get rid of a clingy woman at a party."You have no idea" he agreed.They shared a laugh at his expense, before becoming quiet."You are sad" he pointed out what he noticed earlier.Lola looked at her open palms with a dull face."I will m
In the human world, Lola met Nyra and Bella for the first time. The three of them became fast friends soon after. Drake, Blaze, and Lucas were chatting with Ares and Michael. Lucifer joined them as well. Faiysha is happy that everything she planned for the fairy world is fulfilled. All the three protectors accepted their responsibilities happily and she doesn't have to worry about anyone or anything. She can leave this life and start a new one with full of hope and lots of love."What are you thinking?" Ares asked Fayisha.She diverted her gaze away from her children and gave her full attention to the man whom she loves with all her heart."They all are happy" she pointed out.Ares looked at the people whom his wife loves like her own children. All six of them are laughing and joking with each other. They look happy and carefree. No one would think that they are the powerful rulers of the fairy world. They look like normal people, not the kings and queens that they are."That I can se
After taking care of Lucifer, Lucas came back to the corridor where Belial is. Once pristine corridor is now filled with blood, gore and bodies. Dillon, Valmore and Baron are fighting against Belial. But even being singled out, Belial is effortlessly fighting the three of them off. The three of them are injured, but none of them refused to retreat. They kept fighting, even though their bodies are begging them to stop.Lucas walked closer, which Belial and the others noticed. Belial tried to run away, but Dillon remembered what his brother-in-law wanted him to do earlier. So he spilt the oil from the oil lamp beside him in Belial's path, so that he would slip and fall. Just like Lucas thought, Belial didn't notice the oil in his haste to run away. He stepped his foot on the oil and fell down. Dillon, Valmore and Baron moved aside, giving space for Lucas to take care of Belial. When Belial saw that Lucas is standing right in front of him, he picked up his sword which slipped from his
They say we don't understand the real value of anyone or anything until we lose it. Lucifer is now regretting everything he did which led to his fall."Are you not satisfied yet Belial? You fed me nonsense and I believed it. As a result, I was disappointed in his grace and fell from the sky. What are you trying to do? We had everything back then. But you made me push everything away. Now, after so many years, you are trying to kill me? I always believed you and trusted you. But you played with my trust. Why? What do you want?" Lucifer asked with anger, as the foul taste of Belial's betrayal is making him feel nostalgic.Belial snorted mockingly."Power, I wanted power. You are powerful yet so humble. I wanted to become a god as well. But I was never given a chance to become one. Faiysha was younger than us. But yet she was given a chance and was blessed to become a goddess. Now, look at what happened. That silly woman fell in love with Ares and ruined his life as well. He was so power
Belial pulled Lucifer out of his chamber, while his eyes constantly monitoring his surroundings. He is not so shocked to see the demon guards materializing from the shadows in the once empty corridors. Now the palace is not empty. Every single corridor is filled with warriors who are ready to kill Belial at any given moment. The quiet surrounds are now filled with tension so thick, that it could be sliced with a knife.Belial is tense as well. He never thought he would be tricked like this. He knows no one would dare to hurt him as long as he has his saber aimed around Lucifer's neck. He is outnumbered. If not for Lucas and Lucifer, he can easily take care of these warriors. But Lucas is more powerful than Belial and it's impossible to win him in a one-on-one fight against him.Lucas is quietly following Belial and is waiting for an opportunity to strike. He saw how red Lucifer turned as soon as the holy water touched him. He can see that his father-in-law is in so much pain. Lucas no
