Chapter 46
Lucian lay facing the other side and I wondered if he was angry with me.
“Are you angry with me?” I asked.
“Why would I be?”
“I don’t know” I whispered.
He turned around facing me.
“I am not angry.” He said his voice soft.
If he wasn’t angry, there was something else he wasn’t telling me.
“Will you hold me then while we rest?”
Without waiting he drew me into his arms and after a while, he fell asleep. I was very tired as well after
being awake the wh0le night but I didn’t want to sleep since Lucian would leave after we woke up I
wanted to be awake and savor the feel of being in his arms. But I couldn’t.
I kept repeating Irene’s words in my head and it made my stomach twist in fear. What if something
happened to Lucian? What if he never came back? Maybe I should have convinced him to marry Klara.
“You haven’t slept?” Lucian asked surprised when he woke up.
“I wasn’t very tired.” I lied to no avail.
“Hazel, you don’t need to worry. I will come back safe.” He assured me.
Lucian’s men gathered their horses outside, getting ready to leave. Lincoln was speaking to his wife, it
looked like he was assuring her he would come back safe but she still looked worried. He gave her a k-ss
on the cheek and a reassuring smile. Surprisingly I had never seen him smile before. This was the first
time and he looked like a different person.
By the way, where was Lucian? Looking around I found him stalking toward me. By the time I realized
what he was about to do it was too late and he had already pressed his l-ips to mine, in front of
everyone. On top of that it wasn’t a light and quick k-ss, but a long and passionate one that knocked all
air out of my lungs.
He drew back, a smirk on his face. What was that for?
“This is for slapping me, wife.”
Embarrassed I looked around and everyone looked away quickly. I wished the earth could open up and
swallow me and I glared at Lucian accusingly.
He laughed. “Do you still want me to come back?”
“Yes. How can I pay you back otherwise?” I said.
“I look forward to that.” He smirked.
Placing a k-ss on my forehead, “I will be back wife.” He said then rode off with his men.
It has been a week since Lucian left and for every day that went by I got more and more worried. I
couldn’t live on like this, the anxiety was eating me alive.
“My Lady, You haven’t been eating well lately.” Malia pointed. “You should eat something.”
“I am fine.” I said. She looked at me skeptically.
Suddenly the door flew open and Callum stood there breathless.
“My lady, we need to leave now.” He said.
“Why? What happened?” I asked standing up.
“I saw some guards with drawings of you and his highness asking the villagers if they saw you. Soon
enough they will find us if we don’t leave.”
“Oh lord,” Malia said. “We should hurry then.”
Only grabbing a few important things we left the house. I sat behind Callum on the horse while Malia
rode on her own. Even she could ride, why couldn’t I?
Well, I had my father to thank for all the things I couldn’t do.
When we thought we had come far enough we stopped.
“What now?” Malia asked confused.
“I really don’t know.” Callum said with a frown. “Maybe we should go to my house.”
“No! I have already put Malia in danger I don’t want your family to be in danger as well.” I said.
“Thank you for your concern My Lady, but protecting you is my priority. Besides we can’t stay here for
long they will find us.”
He was right but it didn’t take the guilt away. We continued riding but realized that we were surrounded
as every road we tried to take was blocked.
“We are trapped.” Callum said.
“Malia, you should leave. They don’t want you anyways.” I said.
“But how can I leave you My Lady?”
“Just do what I say, we don’t have time.” I ordered.
“Yes, you should leave Malia. They won’t recognize you as long as you are not with us. Besides if you
leave you can bring us help.” Callum suggested.
She hesitated for a while but quickly rode away when we heard men with their horses nearing.
“They are here, catch them.” I heard someone yell.
Callum took his sword out ready to fight.
“Don’t.” I said. He looked at me confused.
“But My Lady…”
“I will take care of this.” I interrupted him. I didn’t want him to fight because he would probably lose.
They were just too many, he wouldn’t be able to fight all of them.
The men surrounded us with their horses. One of them got off the horse and approached us.
His gaze moved over me then he smirked.
“Our little princess is wearing rags I see.” He smirked. “What happened?” He asked mockingly and then
his men laughed.
His gaze moved over to Callum.
“I only need the princess alive. I think your time on earth has come to an end old friend.” He told Callum
with a faked sad expression.
Callum stood in the same place his expression unwavering.
“There is no need to pretend to be brave when you are going to die. Why can’t you beg for your life
while you can?”
“You won’t kill him.” I said.
The man looked at me then laughed.
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Because I will make sure to remember your face and tell my husband to kill you in the most painful
way.” I said.
He laughed again.
“That’s only if he finds me, little princess.” He said.
“Oh, he will. The devil finds its way everywhere. By now he is probably on his way while planning your
death and everyone’s here.”
I could see that he got a bit scared. It was working.
“You fear the crown prince?” I asked speaking louder to everyone. “Well, then you fear the wrong
person. The worst prince Pierre can do is kill you, but prince Lucian will torture you, kill you and then
torture you again in hell, because trust me none of you is going to heaven.” I threatened.
They looked at each other hesitantly for a while.
“What are you waiting for.” Their commander yelled. “Tie them up!”

Chapter 47
They threw us into a cellar with our hands tied behind our back.
“Don’t touch the Lady. The crown prince wants her untouched.” Their commander told the men. His
gaze shifted to Callum.
“You can do whatever you want with him.” He said and left.
The two men that were left with us walked toward Callum with a smug look on their faces.
“Leave him alone if you care to live.” I told them.
Turning their head they looked at me.
“You can’t kill me because the crown prince wants me alive. Before you take me to him Lucian will
already be here and if he finds that one of his men is dead or hurt he won’t be happy.” I said with
conviction in my voice. “I don’t think you have seen him unhappy, have you?”
They looked at each other, one of them clearly more scared than the other.
“Trust me you don’t want to see him like that?” I added.
“That’s only rumors. Don’t try and scare us, Lady.” One of them said.
“Rumors?” I laughed. ” There is no smoke without fire and oh…you should be scared. No one wants to
be burned alive.”
Now they were clearly scared. It was visible in their eyes.
“By tonight Lucian will already be here. Think about it. If you want to live you will let us go and I will
spare your lives, and maybe even tell my husband to make you join his army. And if you want to die, well
then ask God for forgiveness because if you go to hell…” I shook my head “Lucian will enjoy torturing
you for eternity.”
Their gazes shifted between me and Callum in confusion then they decided to leave us alone.
“My Lady, You are very clever,” Callum said once they left.
“Not clever enough though. They didn’t let us go.”
“They will.” He said.
“How do you know?”
“They were very afraid and as time goes by their fear will grow.”
“I hope so.” I sighed.
After sitting in the cellar for so long I got cramp in my legs and my stomach growled. Callum looked at
me wearing an apologetic look on his face.
“I am alright.” I assured him.
Soon after, we heard the fumbling of keys and the door to the cellar opened. The two scared soldiers
entered still looking afraid.
Without a word, they began to untie our hands.
“Let’s go.” One of them whispered. “The men are drinking outside. Most of them are intoxicated so we
can leave if we are very quiet.” He explained.
He was right. As we made our way out we could hear their loud voices and laughter as they sat around a
fire. Without them noticing we snuck into the woods and began to run as fast as we could.
We kept running until I couldn’t anymore.
“My Lady, are you alright?” Callum asked when I stopped.
“Yes, I just need to breathe a moment,” I said breathless, but the truth was my legs were hurting so
much after sitting for a long time and I didn’t have energy since I hadn’t eaten the wh0le day.
“We have to continue.” One of the men said. “They have horses they can easily come after us.”
As soon as he finished the sentence Callum slit both their throats letting their bodies fall to the ground.
“Callum?” I breathed shocked.
“They betrayed their prince.” He stated simply. “We should keep moving.”
Taking their weapons we continued to run.
I don’t know how long we have been running or walking but my legs were hurting so much, my throat
was so dry and my head began to spin. But I continued walking in spite of all that. If I wanted to live, if I
wanted to see Lucian again I had to keep moving.
Eventually, as I kept walking my legs gave in and everything went black.
I woke up from someone splashing water on my face. I opened my eyes with a gro-n.
“My Lady, drink this.” Callum said holding a bottle of water next to my mouth.
I gulped the water down quickly.
“Where are we?”
We were surrounded by trees and there was a small lake to the left.
“Unfortunately not far away.”
“Then we should go.” I said standing up abruptly which led to me losing my balance.
Before I fell Callum caught me. “I don’t think you can walk My Lady. Your leg is swollen.”
“Of course I can w…” I shrieked in pain as I shifted my weight on my left leg.
“Sit down.” Callum urged helping me.
“But we can’t just be sitting here.” I protested. It was already morning and he had said that we hadn’t
come far. “I will try to walk.”
“There is no point in that.” He said calmly. “We are surrounded. I tried to find a way out but they are
everywhere right now.”
“Then what should we do?” I asked.
“It’s too late to do anything, My Lady. We were from the beginning fighting a war we would lose
anyway. Even if we escape this time, how many more times will we be able to escape? Sooner or later
they will find us.” He looked at me narrowing his gaze. “We all will die My Lady.”
The calmness in which he spoke told me that he had expected all this to happen and that he had
accepted it.
“Callum, you should leave me here. At Least alone I am sure you can escape.”
“No my lady I cannot do that.”
“Think about your family, they need you. I will be fine, they won’t kill me. Their prince wants me alive.”
“No, I…” He stopped as we heard the sound of horses and men.
“Look for them everywhere!” A man yelled.
Callum looked around quickly trying to find a place for us to hide but unfortunately we were only
surrounded by trees and hiding behind them wouldn’t help.
“My Lady, I will distract them and lead them that way. You endure the pain and run that way.” He
whispered pointing in different directions.
I nodded and tried to do as he said but the pain in my leg was excruciating. I tried my best to ignore the
pain and limped my way to the opposite direction of where Callum went.
“Someone is there!” I heard a man yell and then the clinking of swords. Would Callum be able to fight all
those men?
I felt like a coward leaving him behind and contemplated for a while to go back. But how would I be able
to help him? I could barely walk.
“There she is! Catch her!”
Oh no, they found me. Maybe it was for the better I thought since I couldn’t decide whether to leave
Callum behind or not.
“Don’t move lady, there is no point.” The soldier who was approaching me warned.
If he only knew how painful it was for me to move he wouldn’t have said that.
He grabbed my arm harshly and was about to drag me when something caught his attention. I turned
my head to see what was going on and then saw soldiers fighting someone wearing a helmet. The
helmet man moved smoothly cutting and killing with his sword.
“Who is that? Kill him!” The soldier who held me yelled but unfortunately, the soldiers had a hærd time
killing the man with the helmet on and they all soon fell to the ground.
The man holding me pushed me away causing me to fall and then went to fight the helmet man. After a
short while, he fell dead to the ground as well.
The helmet man put his sword back and looked my way. Whoever he was, he was skilled even though he
didn’t look strong.
Stalking toward me he took his helmet off.
I gasped.
“Klara!”
She smirked. “Who did you think it was?”
I just looked at her astonished for a while. “Will you just stare at me or stand up?” She asked.
I stood up grimacing in pain. “What are you doing here? How did you find me? Why did you save me?”
Ignoring my questions she whistled and a black horse came galloping toward us.
“We need to leave quickly.” She said.
“But Callum…” I began
“It’s his duty to protect you and not the other way round. Now hurry!”

Tbc…
