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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
