Chapter 36
Death doesn’t knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without
permission takes what it came for.
I quickly placed myself in front of Lucian as if I could protect him from what was about to happen, but to
my surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Lucians men almost
threw themselves in front of our feet.
“Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our
families as hostages.” One of them said. I looked worriedly at Lucian but he was calm as usual.

“Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families.” another one pleaded.
Lincoln came into the room looking furious.
“What are you doing?” He yelled at the men. “Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you
care to live.”
“It’s alright Lincoln.” Lucian said calmly. “You may leave to save your families,” he told the men.
I looked surprised at Lucian. He was about to let half of his men go which meant he had almost no
protection now against the cruel king. Not that he had any good protection, to begin with.
I didn’t expect any less from his cruel brother. Of course, distracting Lucians men was the perfect way to
get to him. Once his men go back to Decresh to save their families Pierre would hunt them down and
torture them until they tell him where he can find Lucian. It was the perfect plan.

Lucians men stared surprised at him as well but then quickly got to their feet and hurried away.
“Your Highness, this is not good,” Lincoln said looking very disappointed and worried.
Yes, this was very bad and it would get much worse very soon. My stomach twisted in fear. I needed to
do something.
“What will you do now?” I asked Lucian once Lincoln left us alone.
“I don’t know.” He said pacing back and forth.
“I know,” I said. ” You need to say yes to Klara.”
He looked at me for a while, his eyes piercing into mine before he left the room without a word.
Without waiting I quickly made my way to Klara’s room. I had no time to waste. Now the danger was
closer than ever and I needed to take action this time.
“My Lady, princess Hazel is here to see you.” The guard outside her room informed. Shortly after the
door opened and the guard gestured for me to enter.
Klara was sitting in a chair near the window with a book in her hand. Putting the book on a table nearby
she stood up from her seat and smiled as she approached me.
“Welcome, Hazel. You came sooner than I expected.” She smiled. She must be enjoying this I thought
but I held my head high.
“Are you alright? You don’t look well.” She asked nonchalantly.
“I know. You, on the other hand, look very beautiful My Lady. I wonder how Lucian was able to turn
down your proposal.” I said pretending to be thoughtful
Her eyes hærdened.

“Don’t worry,” I said waving my hand. ” I was the one holding him back but I won’t anymore.” She
needed to know that even if she got Lucian I was the one in control.
She looked stoned for a moment but then smiled.
“You made a good decision Hazel and saved your husband a lot of trouble. Now see what magic I will do
for him.”
She was mocking me but I didn’t care.
“Whatever you do I hope you do it fast. His brothers will find him soon.”
“Don’t worry. Nobody touches what’s mine.” She smirked. She was already calling him hers. I clenched
my fists to not slap her out of sheer reflex.

Leaving her room I walked through the halls feeling defeated. You did good Hazel, it was the right thing
to do, it was the only thing to do, I tried to console myself. As I was lost in my thoughts I almost bumped
into the king.
“Your majesty,” I said surprised that I stood so close to him staring into his deep ocean blue eyes.
“My Lady, is all well?” He asked.
“Yes, your majesty.”
“Are you sure? Draco didn’t seem to be in a good mood.” He smiled.
Draco?
“Your majesty? If I am wrong excuse me but doesn’t Draco mean dragon and not the devil?” I asked. ” I
read it somewhere,” I added when he narrowed his gaze.
“You are not wrong. But do you know how dragons look like?”
“I read they look like big snakes.” I said.

“Who made Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit?”
The story of Adam and Eve. I had heard about it even though it was a long time ago. If I remember
correctly it was the devil disguised as a snake who made them eat the forbidden fruit.Therefore snakes
were associated with the devil or with evil deeds. But I still couldn’t understand what the connection
between the dragon and the devil was.
“Have you studied the bible, my lady?”
“Not really.” I said,
“If you are really curious you should. Especially the Devils story.” He smiled.
“Do you really think Lucian is the Devil?” I asked.
“You tell me, you are his wife. I am really curious to know.”
“You want my husband to marry princess Klara. Why if I may ask Your Majesty?”
“Why not?”
“She won’t be a first wife. Why would you want that for your sister?”
“I don’t care about those stupid things. I care about my sister’s happiness.” He said.
What about mine? Of course, he didn’t care about my happiness but was there someone who did?
“By the way, I don’t mind you standing so close to me but I am sure your husband wouldn’t like that.” He
smiled and I realized I was still standing very close to him.
I took a few steps back and gave him a meek smile before excusing myself and leaving.

Chapter 37

“Who are you?” I asked the maid who made the room look like heaven. It smelled so fresh, like flowers
starting to bloom in the spring. I could also smell the scent of cinnamon tea combined with something
else I couldn’t tell, but it smelled delicious.
“I am your new maid. My name is Irene My Lady” she said curtising.
“Where is Audrey?” I asked. Audrey was my maid. She was young nice girl whom I liked very much. I
didn’t want a new maid.
“She has been transferred to Princess Klara quartered, My Lady.” The maid said.

Klara. I was tired of hearing her name.
Sighing I took my robe off and sat at the table where the scent of the delicious tea was coming from.
“Would you like some tea, My Lady?” Irene asked. I couldn’t say no because I really wanted to taste this
tea and see if it tasted as delicious as it smelled.
“Yes,” I said. She poured me the tea and handed it to me with a smile.
“It will help you relax, My Lady.” She said.
As I was about to drink the tea I got suspicious. I didn’t know this maid and she came suddenly and is
pouring me some tea. Why did the sudden change of maids happen? Was Klara up to something?
“Would you like me to drink it first?” Irene asked when she noticed my suspicion.

“Yes.” I said and handed her the tea. She took a sip and smiled.
“Drink it all.” I said. I didn’t know why I was being like that but this Irene, there was just something about
her that didn’t feel quite right.
She emptied the cup and put it down.
“Would you like some now, My Lady?” She asked and I could hear the amus.e.m.e.nt in her voice.
I tried to look her in the eyes but I couldn’t. I don’t know why? It was as if her emerald eyes could see
through me and into my soul. It was as if she knew my deepest secrets and desires.

She was beautiful but in a different way and her long thick black hair reminded me of Lucians. She
looked young but her eyes held some kind of wisdom beyond years.
“No.” I said standing up. “You may leave.”
The maid left me alone and I paced back and forth in the room trying to come up with a way to help
Lucian. Really, I was useless just like Klara said.
“My Lady, Oliver is here to see you.” Irene called from outside.
“Let him in.” I called back. I hoped he wasn’t bringing more bad news.
Oliver walked in fully wearing his military attire.
“My Lady, I am here to deliver a message from His Highness. He left the castle and will be gone for a
while.”
“Where did he go? How long will he be gone?” I asked.
“I don’t know where but he will be gone for a few days.” Days? It meant he left Gatrish.

Did he go to Decresh? No, he wouldn’t be foolish to do so.
“If there is anything you need just send a word and I’ll be here.” He said and left.
As if the time refused to move the day went by very slow, with me thinking and worrying too much. It
reminded me of my wedding day. I had a knot in my stomach that refused to go away and that’s exactly
how I was feeling today.
My gaze fell on Irene who was making the bed. She was beautiful with her dark hair and flawless skin,
and those eyes, they were mesmerizing. How come someone as beautiful as her still be working as a
maid? The bloodthirsty king should have made her his mistress by now.
“Are you married?” I asked.
“No, My Lady but I am not innocent.” I just hoped it wasn’t the king who took her innocence.
“Do you have someone you love?” Her l-ips curved into a smile and her eyes twinkled.

“Yes, I do My lady. Very much.” She seemed to be deeply in love.
“But I am sure, My lady is more in love than I am.” She added.
“And how would you know?” I asked amused. She stopped making the bed and looked my way.
“I know a lot of things, My Lady.” She said with a serious tone.
“Things like what?”
“You are married but still innocent, My Lady and your husband might take another wife soon and you
are worried but you don’t know what to do. But I know what you should do.” She said.
I felt my cheeks heat because of embarrassment and anger. Who was she trying to fool? It was probably
Klara who told her about me being innocent.
“Did Klara tell you this?” I asked my tone harsh.
“No, My Lady.” She said not fazed by my harsh tone at all. She put the pillows in place as she was done
making the bed then looked at me ” Do you want me to comb your hair my lady?”
I noticed that she had the same tone the wh0le time she spoke and she spoke so confidently. Maids were usually nervous, especially if they were new. They always spoke a little while being very careful
what to say but this woman didn’t seem the least nervous or scared.

“If Klara didn’t tell you then how did you know?”
“I know you have a birthmark on your inner th-gh and that you once fell and almost broke your leg when
you tried to escape your home at night.”
How did she know that? These were things only I knew and maybe Lydia and Ylva, so how did she know?
“What are you?” I said without thinking. Why did I ask something so strange? Of course, she was a
woman what else could she be?
“I think a witch is what you call us, but of course I don’t like to call myself that.”
“Witch?” I was confused. I had heard that witches do exist but most of them live hiding their identity
because they would be killed if found. If she really was a witch why would she be telling me that?

“Yes My lady.”
“Why would you tell me if you really are a witch?”
“As I said before My Lady, I know things and I know I can trust you.”
I somehow believed her words, maybe because I had already sensed from the beginning that something
about her was different. Her eyes, it was difficult to look into her eyes, it was like being exposed when
you looked into them.
“Your hair is beautiful my lady?” she smiled as she brushed my hair. She was even more beautiful when
smiling
“Not as nearly as yours.” I said.
“You are very kind My Lady.”
She helped me get out of my dress and put my nightgown on then she left me with a good night.
The next day she was already present when I woke up.

“Good morning, My Lady. The bath is ready.”
I went through the same routine I did every day. Bathing, putting on new clothes, brushing my hair then
eating breakfast. After that, I asked Irene to bring me the bible. I was really curious to know the
connection between the devil and the dragon.
Irene came back with the bible and I quickly began to read.
In the Bible, the dragon was the devil and he came to earth to deceive and destroy.
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the
wh0le world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
“Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out
of a seething pot or caldron. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.”

The day I was kidnapped the men were on fire out of nowhere but I had a feeling it was Lucian’s doing. I remember the satisfaction in his eyes as he watched them burn. I shivered at the memory. And there was no doubt he slit the other man’s throat with his claws since he didn’t have any weapons and the
voices in my head, and his red eyes, even his normal eyes were different. Still, he couldn’t be the devil or
his son, could he? Yes, he was extremely frightening sometimes but he wasn’t evil.

I closed the Bible and put it aside. Whatever he was it didn’t matter I told myself.
