"How could she even do that? She's the queen of this kingdom. Unfortunately.""She can renounce her position and join in the fight, just like other royals fighting against you." Lorenzo explained.Prince Raziel decided to pay Evelyn a visit, before he met up with the prince of Morbury.Before he got to the cell she was locked in, she heard his footsteps and began to bang on the iron bars unceasingly."A few days in the dungeon can tamper with your brain. I don't blame you." Raziel said when he got to her."Get me out of here, you stupid prince."He smiled when he saw her. It was obvious that she had been banging and screaming. She had even sustained some injuries, some healed, some fresh. Her clothes were rumpled, and her hair unkempt. Even her voice seemed to fail her."You look good your majesty." Raziel taunted her. "I hear you want to join in the fight for the throne.""Yes. And I will not stop until I have your head in my hand." Evelyn threatened angrily, her body literally shakin
Luciana's heart almost leaped out of her chest when the three men ran violently towards Raziel with weapons in their hands. She almost couldn't watch it, but she forced herself to.The way they came at him, it was as if they had no intention to let go until he is dead. But to her relief, Raziel was quick to dodge their attacks, and he didn't look as bothered as her.The three men surrounded him, ready to attack from every side."If you cannot watch it princess, I can take you somewhere else." Lorenzo offered as he noticed her fear."I can." Luciana stubbornly insisted. She wondered why she was even that affected by the fight. She had seen people being murdered countless number of times, and even if she might not like it, there would be no outward reaction from her.Raziel took his time, dodging every of their attacks, frustrating them. They brought out their daggers and sword, and he still had his attached to his side."Do you think the prince can beat the three of them alone?" Lucian
"Lucy she's dead." Raziel's voice reverberated in her head, and she felt her head spin. "Lucy, Luciana." Raziel called her.Luciana then took in a deep breath and looked up at him."It's fine. I am fine. I have not been seeing her anyway, so it's almost the same thing."Raziel knew she was not fine in any way. She was only trying not to break down, and he didn't want her to resort to her usual coping mechanism again, cutting herself.Dahlia was confused on what was going on. Her sister died? She didn't even know that Luciana had a sister. But she felt bad for her.Raziel then turned to Arlo and Luke."Take her back to the castle and be with her at all times. I will be with you shortly.""I said I am fine your highness. I don't need to be guarded." Luciana stubbornly said, but Raziel ignored her."On no account should you let her out of your sight." He told his soldiers."Yes your highness."Dahlia noticed that the prince was very worried, and she wondered what else what happening. An
Raziel and Lorenzo gathered their army and prepared them for the oncoming war. They had their weapons soaked in Luciana's vampire poison. Meanwhile Luciana had also succeeded in making a poison from the werewolves out of wolfs bane, making it more toxic to them.Raziel made his army leave before him with Lorenzo leading them. While he went to see Luciana.He met her in her study chair this time, and he went to check what she was doing."You are drawing?"She nodded with a smile, knowing she was terrible at it."Is that supposed to be a person or an animal? Looks like a cow." He teased her."It's you." Luciana said to him.Raziel frowned. "No. This can't be me. You can't fall for this thing the way you had fallen for me."Luciana only chuckled."Lucy our borders are being attacked right now." He informed her."What?!" She dropped her pen and turned to him in shock."You know we have had this threat of war for a long time coming. I expected it, and I knew it was going to come before our
Raziel walked through his army, wanting to get to the front. But then he felt someone tug on his arm from behind. He turned only to meet a cloaked man, his face hidden."Who are you?" He asked, surprised that an someone who was not a soldier was there. "You are not safe here.""I can fight." The cloaked man declared. "I want to fight by your side.""Leave now while you still can." Raziel warned, before turning away from him. But then the cloaked man tugged on him again."I am sorry your highness, but I am part of your enemies. At least I was supposed to be.""You are asking me to kill you?""They are looking to kill me, and that is why I came to you. I have some of their secrets." He then went on one knee. "I pledge my loyalty to you."Raziel knew that it would be very unwise to trust the man. But even at that, who would risk going to the enemies side in the midst of a war?"What is your name?" Raziel asked."Marshall." The cloaked man said. "Marshall Kruger."Kruger? The name sounded
Luciana felt his words struck her heart hard, but she fought for composure, remembering where she was. Seeing a familiar face made her remember and long for home again."Do we need to go on with this war?" Luciana asked, her face etched with withheld emotions."You can come with me, and I will take you away from here. I will forget about the war." Elric said, but she shook her head."I will explain to you later, but please let's focus on what we could do to end this war. Many lives would be lost for a reason that is not even worth it.""Do you know why we are here Luciana?" Elric asked."Yes. It is no news what Durville had done to a lot of kingdoms in the past. But that was during the reign of the previous king. It's not the prince's fault. He didn't have control." She explained calmly, but her heart was raging inwardly."There is no going back on this war. It had already been decided. And we have six kingdoms together here. I don't believe every leader will see it from your perspecti
Raziel was on his horse, surrounded by and fighting against more than ten enemies at a time. He seemed to be their target. He needed absolute focus in fighting them all, thereby distracting him from observing his surroundings. Luckily for him, he was swift with the sword, and thanks to Luciana's poison, every slash sent the soldiers falling. He always aimed for the part that would kill them at a strike.While he was distracted, he didn't notice Elric targeting him with his pistol. And Lorenzo and the others were also kept busy, so no one noticed. Plus the duke was perfect with his aiming.When the first bullet hit Raziel's arm, he turned to the source of it, but he got distracted again by the swarms of soldiers fighting him off. Then another hit one of one of his calves. The shooter was trying to weaken him. Raziel knew that he needed to get those bullets out of his body, so that he could heal, but he was not given the chance.Luciana saw this from where she was, and she needed to
Luciana didn't realize how tight she was hugging the vampire prince until she heard him groan. She immediately pulled away."You are injured. Let me see." She took his hand, searching him.Raziel held a lazy grin on his lips. "You don't know how cute you are when you worry like this."His gaze then lifted to the three guards who had also come forward after Luciana. They had their heads bowed."We have no excuse your highness. We deserve to be punished." Luke stated on behalf of the three of them.He gave them a nod that they seemed to understand the meaning behind it, before taking Luciana's hand and taking her away.They entered one of the rooms in the building."You should clean up." Luciana said. His body was covered in sweat and blood, and he had stained her with it too when she hugged him."That's why I came here. You should probably clean up too. Sorry for the blood stains. You couldn't resist hugging me."He then began to take off his armour."You know there is a bathroom whic
