Chapter 10

Watch you back. Death is coming.

Is this note written with blood? Oh, God.

“What are you doing here?” suddenly Lucian was in the study.

“What is this note?” I asked.

“It’s nothing,” he said taking it from me and putting it back.

“Is someone threatening you or is it a joke?” I asked worriedly.

“It’s nothing you need to worry about,” he said grabbing my wrist and dragging me
out of the study. He had a worried look on his face which told me that there was
definitely something going on.

“Did you like my present?” he asked before I could ask any further questions.

“Yes, but why? I thought you were angry with me”

“I was and I still am,” he said leading the way to the dining room “sit down and
let’s eat.”

I did as he said. He had that aura that signaled danger again. He sat opposite me
and when our eyes met I could see flames in them, they weren’t calm. Something
was definitely different about him, maybe there is something to the rumors.

“How did you bring Lydia and Ylva?” I really wanted to know. Palace maids were
never supposed to leave the palace since they can spill secrets of the palace. Once
you enter the palace there is no way out, so he couldn’t have bought them. He
looked up from his plate and stared at me for a while.

“I told the king…. that I would kill you otherwise,” he said calmly. I choked on my
food. Coughing and breathing for air my hand grabbed the glass of water. Drinking
the water slowly I could finally breathe.

***************

Lucian studied Hazel and waited to see the fear in her eyes even though he hoped
she wouldn’t fear him but to his disappointment she did. She looked scared and
confused. He was already pissed that she just two days ago thought that he would
kill her or beat her just because she didn’t listen to him and now she looked at him
as if he really would kill her. Maybe he was wrong when he thought she would be
different. He didn’t even know why he went through all trouble to bring her maids.

” I said that because it was the only way to bring them. You don’t really think I
would kill you, do you?” he said trying hærd to control his anger and frustration.

“Then why did you say that you would burn me?” she asked.

“Because…that’s what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and
kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?” he said
standing up from his seat and hitting the table with his fist which made her jump
from her seat and stare at him in shock and fear. He hated that look in her eyes so
he str-de out of the room not wanting to see her anymore.

in,side his study, he stared at the note.
Watch you back death is coming.
No one would dare play such jokes with him except his brothers. Taking the note
he went straight to his brother’s quarter. Walking through the halls his brother’s
guards looked at him with fear and hatred, but that didn’t affect him as much as
Hazel’s fear of him did. Strange he was used to being feared but his wife’s fear
made him angry.

The young maids stared at him with excitement. He could hear their giggles and
whispers.

“He is so tall, so handsome.”
“His hair is so beautiful, so are his eyes.”
“But he is mine.”
“You wish.”
“Yes, I wish I worked for him. I would work all day in the kitchen and all night in
his bedroom.”

And then they giggled. What they didn’t know was that he could hear everything
they were saying. Reaching the main hall two guards blocked his way.
“Your highness, how can we help you?” they asked politely.

“How about moving out of my way?”

“We can’t your highness. We are not allowed to let anyone in”

“Then tell the crown prince to come out and talk to me or I will get in no matter
what.”

They looked at each other ” I am sorry, Your Highness.”

“So am I,” he said, and before they could think he elbowed one in the stomach and
kneed him in the face. The other one tried to swing at him but dodging the swing
he went behind him grabbing his neck he hit the guards head on the wall. Leaving
the guards on the ground he went on to find his brother. He was not in his study.
He grabbed a maid walking through the hall by the arm.

“Where is Pierre?” he hissed.

“His highness is sleeping in his chamber,” she replied scared. Letting go of her he
made his way to the chamber and swung the door open just to find his brother
having fun with a woman.

“What the….” his brother began to yell but stopped when he saw it was Lucian. The
half-unclad woman brought the sheets up to cover herself.

“Oh brother what a pleasant surprise,” Pierre said with a fake tone “You just came
on time, how about we share this beautiful lady?” he said car-ssing the woman’s
cheek. Her eyes traveled up his body to his face and she gave him an approving
smile.

“That’s kind of you but this is not so kind,” Lucian said holding up the note. Pierre
got up from the bed to take a closer look at the note.

“What makes you think I wrote this?” Pierre asked.

“If it’s not you then you should know which one of your brothers wrote this”

“And your brothers too” he corrected ” I know that no one of them would play such
a joke, we are not kids anymore Lucian”
“You better be sure” Lucian threatened.
“It seems you have yet another foe” his brother smirked.

Chapter 11

I sat on the bed waiting for Lucian to come after eating dinner without him yet
another night. There were a lot of things we needed to talk about but I didn’t want
to fight with him again.

Because that’s what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills
people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?
His voice echoed in my head. I never thought of him as a beast I just thought that
he was different. He looked hurt before walking out of the dining room as if he
didn’t want to see me again and I wondered if he really wouldn’t come. Would I
have to sleep alone again? I didn’t even get the chance to thank him for bringing
Lydia and Ylva.

I decided not to sleep alone and go look for him. I looked everywhere but couldn’t
find him. Where could he be?
“Do you know where I can find his highness?” I asked a guard.

“He is in the barn, Your highness.”
I made my way to the barn where I found Lucian feeding his horse. It was dark
in,side and the only light came from the full moon. As if sensing my presence he
looked around until his eyes landed on me.
“I was looking for you,” I said walking closer to him.

“Why?” he asked clapping his horse.
“It’s just that we have been fighting a lot lately and we never spend time together…I
never see you these days and I just…I just..”
“You just what?” he said taking a step closer.
“I just want to spend time with you”
“Why?”
“What do you mean by why?” I said frustrated at his questions.

Grabbing my arm he pulled me closer. “Why means why? why do you want to
spend time with me? do you like me? do you miss me? do you want me? you’re not
scared anymore? that I might kill you, beat you, or burn you?” I could hear the hurt
in his voice.

“Yes, you scare me sometimes but you treat me well too.”

He didn’t seem satisfied with my answer but his eyes softened and he let go of my
arm ” It’s late you should go to sleep, I will stay here for a while” he finally said.
“I will stay with you” I insisted.

He opened his mouth to protest but said nothing turning his attention to his horse. I
sat down on a haystack nearby where I could still see him and talk to him.

“Thank you for bringing my maids,” I said but got no response. I tried to come up
with something to talk about while my eyes studied him in the darkness. He looked
different as if he belonged to the darkness or was part of it.

“Do you want to go for a ride?” he suddenly asked.

“Yes,” I said excited but we were wearing our royal clothes. As if reading my
thoughts “there is knitwear right there” he said pointing to the corner of the barn. I
saw nothing because it was too dark but walking closer I saw them. How could he
see them from far away? Or maybe he already knew they were there.

I turned around to ask where I would change but walked almost into his chest.

“You scared me.”
“I am sorry. I just thought you would need help getting out of your dress” he
explained.

“You don’t expect me to change here?”
“Why not? No one is here and it’s dark” he smirked. It was true. I couldn’t see him
clearly.

“I can manage myself”
“Alright, just call for me if you need help,” he said and left.

I looked around to see that he wasn’t nearby and began to undress, but yes it was
really hærd to untangle the ropes on the back of my dress and my arms began to
hurt.

“Are you sure you don’t need help?” Lucian’s voice came from behind as he
walked closer. “Let me help you” he said and started to untie the back of my dress
without waiting for a reply. Now and then his hand would touch my bare skin
while untying ” I will wait for you outside” he said when he was done.

The clothes were a bit too big for me but it didn’t bother me. Lucian was waiting
outside with his horse when I came out of the barn.

“Is there any particular place you want to go?” he asked.

“Anywhere is fine,” I said.

He helped me up on the horse and we rode off in the night. I have never felt so free
before. We went to the market and walked among common people and I was so
fascinated by the wh0le thing because I had never been to a market before and
never walked among common people. Then we rode into the woods.

“What are we doing here?” I asked.

“I want to show you something,” he said and after a while, we came to a place in
the woods where many small yellow lights were flying over the wh0le place.

“What is this?” I asked while Lucian helped me down.

“It’s fireflies. Do you know why they glow?”
“No”
“It’s to attract mates or prey.” He explained.

I looked at then fascinated. I never knew these things existed.
“They are beautiful,” I said.
“Not as much as you are,” he said walking right behind me.

I stopped and turned around. Our eyes met and like every time I look into his eyes
I felt a force pulling me toward him, making me forget everything else. I wondered
if he knew what kind of effect his eyes had on me.

“Your eyes are burning” I whispered when I could finally speak.
He grabbed the back of my head, pulling my face close to his. I could feel his
warm breath on my face and butterflies in my stomach.

“Not only are my eyes burning, my wh0le body is burning with need Hazel,” he
says as his gaze travels down to my l-ips.

I open my mouth to fill my lungs with air and my ears get flooded by the pounding
sound of my heart. He slowly leans in and presses his l-ips on mine. The touch is
soft and gentle but as soon as our l-ips touch he pushes me away and takes two long
steps back.
