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

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

Lucian moved his eyes from Aurora's to the warlords. He gave her some time to calm her rapid heartbeat. She took a deep breath as she tried her best to hide her nervousness from everyone there. She was so nervous that she didn't notice that Darius was staring at her with his angry eyes. "Bitch! Just wait and see. I'll give you a horrible death," he said in his mind."I really appreciate for the message so that I can find out about the massacre. I didn't order my men to kill your people. Someone has accused me and he wants war to happen," Lucian said and looked at Darius, who was holding back his anger.Lucian looked back at the warlords. "I came here to clear my name, and I wanted to find out the truth," he said. His eyes told them he meant what he said. The warlords and Aurora paused, staring at him. Their eyes said they believed in him.  Lucian walked over and stood before the warlord, who had a stupid brain. He put his hand on his shoulder with his

Violet stepped back as Darius touched her cheek. Anger and disappointment smoldered inside him, but he tried to stay calm. "Please don't be mad at me. I'm so sorry. I promise you I won't scare you again," he said with sadness and regret in his eyes.Violet paused, staring at him. Back then, she always believed what he said, but now she doubted it. She wasn't sure anymore that the sadness and regret in his eyes was real. She moved her gaze from his eyes, looking elsewhere. "It's late now. Why are you here?" she asked. "I told you I was worried about you," he replied.She looked back into his eyes. "Why? Why are you worried about me? I also want to know why you put those guards in front of my room and why you locked me in here," she asked questions she already knew the answer to.He paused for a moment with an evil plan in mind. "Lucian is here. He came here this evening," he said with worried eyes. He smiled with relief inside, seeing her shocked face. He was now

"Doctor, how is he?" Lucian asked worriedly as the doctor walked out of the room."My king, your uncle ..." the doctor paused for a moment, staring into Lucian's eyes with worry filling his eyes. "His health is getting worse and worse. I think it's not his illness that made him like that, but it's because of the sadness in his heart."The worry and sadness gripped Lucian even more upon hearing what the doctor said. Ever since Lucian returned from the Vidonia kingdom, his uncle's health was getting worse by the day.The doctor immediately held Lucian's arm as he was about to open the bedroom door, making him look into his eyes. "My king, you better not see him now. He still doesn't want to see you. Don't make him angry," the doctor said, and took his hand from Lucian's arm.Lucian sighed as he avoided the doctor's eyes. It was clear on Lucian's face that he was so sad and worried. He missed his uncle so much, but his uncle didn't want to see him and that f
