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 bodViolet 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 moon shines over the kingdom of Vidonia with its dim light. A king named Turin ruled this kingdom. He was a good and wise king. He brought peace, prosperity, justice, and glory to his kingdom. He made all his people love him with all their hearts.A girl walked down the hall leading to the reading room within the palace. She was wearing a beautiful dress that stunned everyone who saw it. Too bad her face is not as beautiful as the dress she is wearing. She has an ordinary face with long, black hair and black eyes.She stopped her steps when she was in front of the reading room door and opened the door. King Turin, who was sitting on the chair behind the reading table, shifted his gaze from the book on the table to the door as it opened. He had a warm smile on his face as he watched his beloved daughter walk into the room and stand beside him.He held her hand. "Aurora, it's getting late now. Why haven't you slept yet?" he asked in a soft voice into her
The butler sighed sadly inside, looking at his king who was furrowing his brows with worry and sadness filling his eyes. King Turin did not eat his breakfast. He just kept staring blankly ahead. Seeing his beloved king like this made the butler's heart grieve.“My king, you must eat your breakfast before it gets cold,” the butler, who was standing beside his king, said in a worried tone.The butler's voice broke through King Turin's thoughts. King Turin turned his gaze to the table in front of him to hide what he was thinking and took a glass of water from it and drank it.The butler knew his king was trying to hide what he was thinking from him. The butler told himself he must say what was on his mind to make his king aware that the decision he had made was wrong. "My king, you must not let him stay. You must tell him to leave right now. The doctor said the stab wound to his chest was not deep. It will not endanger his life." The butler finally said what
"It's been a week now. How is his wounds?" King Turin asked the doctor, who was standing in front of his desk. "His wounds are almost healed, my king," the doctor replied politely."When can he leave the palace?" asked the butler, who was standing near his king. "He can leave in two days." The butler was relieved upon hearing what the doctor said."No! He can't leave here!" Aurora said as she walked in the room and stopped next to the doctor. Her angry eyes gripped the doctor's eyes, forcing him to look down. She shifted her gaze to her father's eyes. "Father! Please... He can't leave this place. His body is still weak. Let him stay. Please... I beg you," she begged. She almost cried.King Turin sighed inside, seeing his beloved daughter begging him like that. "You two, leave this room," he said to his butler and to the doctor. "Yes, my king," they both replied obediently. Then they walked out the door and left the room.The butler couldn't do nothing but
