"My Lord!" Liam came running to him immediately.
Carlotta could feel her heart in her throat. What's he gonna do to her?
Lorenzo hesitated a little, staring at her and Carlotta wondered if he was thinking of the right punishment to give to her.
"Take her to the torture room and tie her up". He commanded and Liam was extremely shocked, he paused a little.
The torture room?? Oh crap! What has the princess gotten herself into?
"As… As you wish, my Lord" he bowed and made to grab Carlotta's hand, but she moved away.
"Hold on, you can't treat me this way. I came here as a princess, not some slave. You can't just punish me like I'm some maid servant" Carlotta grumbled but Lorenzo said nothing; nothing at all.
All he did was give out those cold stares of his.
Liam knew the silence of Lorenzo should never be taken for granted. And not wanting to get into trouble himself, he forcefully took Carlotta's hand.
"Please,
Ginevra was so restless as she paced to and fro the corridors. Her heart was beating really fast.She'd been outside the torture room and had even heard Carlotta screaming. Goodness! It tore her apart! What the hell were they doing to her friend? Why is it so difficult for Lord Lorenzo to forgive, huh? And how did the bracelet get into her bag? Could it be a set up?She continued pacing to and fro and after a while, saw Lord Lorenzo walking out of the room.Oh! Was he done with her?She stood and watched ruefully as he left and as soon as he was out of sight, she ran towards the room."Carlotta! Carlotta!" She called, but didn't get a response.She was scared to go in, wondering if it'd be offensive or not. But thankfully, it wasn't long before the chief guard - Liam - came walking out with Carlotta lying on his shoulders.Whaat????"Carlotta!" Ginevra called in fright.Goodness! What have they done to her friend??
Lorenzo needed some distractions. He'd sent for Amel and was in his room sharpening his sword when she arrived.She'd paused at the door, taken note of how he worked on the sword and a little scared he wanted to use it on someone. Well, she shouldn't be surprised, should she? Lord Lorenzo was gradually leaving his human form and was becoming more of a life time fighter; a life time warrior."Good evening, My Lord" she greeted with a bow and as expected, got no reply from Lorenzo.He didn't even move or look at her until he was done with what he was doing."On the bed, Amel" came the usual command and without hesitation, Amel pulled off her clothes and climbed on the bed, laying on her tummy as usual.A longer time passed before Lorenzo also proceeded in taking off his own clothes and joining her on the bed.Her legs were already apart, but he added more spacings to them and settled in between.After which, he brought his phãllu
"Seriously Carlotta, you're too stubborn" Ginevra groused as she paced restlessly in the room, tho and fro.Carlotta was still lying on the bed, face down and still wouldn't touch the medicines.From time to time, Ginevra would run to the window to cheek if the Physician was coming already, but thankfully he wasn't."Gosh! Carlotta, don't be so stubborn. Why wouldn't you just take this medications, huh, and prevent further troubles? What if the physician really arrives with Lord Lorenzo?" She queried.She couldn't believe she was so worried for her friend, like she was actually the one lying on the partial sick bed."I don't care if he comes with his warriors, Ginevra. No matter what he does, I'm never taking those medications and that's final!" She rasped with a frown.Ginevra shook her head and continued pacing around, then decided to check the window again and this time around, she let out a loud gasp."Carlotta! He's coming!!" She
Lorenzo returned to his seat as soon as the chief guard left. Could this be true? When did such a thing happen?For a man like him, he wasn't supposed to be bothered, but yeah, he was. Although it didn't reflect on his expression or anything; it could only be felt inside of him.After a while, Liam returned with the chief council who was heavily adorned like he was on his way to or from a meeting."He's here, My Lord" Liam bowed and with the wave of a hand, Lorenzo dismissed him."Greetings, My Lord" the chief council bowed as he stood in front of Lorenzo.Although, he was way older than Lorenzo, he was wise enough to know it wasn't in the size, but the status."You may rise, counsel" Lorenzo replied and the elderly man didn't hesitate to lift his head Immediately."I got your letter. How serious is it?" Lorenzo asked after a few seconds of silence."It's very serious, My Lord. King Gabrielle wouldn't oblige to our
*4 DAYS LATER*"Emilia, are you sure about this? It sounds ridiculous to me" King Ephraim said as he walked into his chambers with his daughter behind him - whining like a child.“Yes, father. please. I’m very sure. I really need this” princess Emilia's groused, her face crumbling up.“But why would you make such a request in the first place, huh? Why would you want to be under someone as possessive as Lord Lorenzo?” King Ephraim asked, stopping and turning to spare her a glance.“I…. I just want to. Please father, don’t say no. This would really mean a lot to me” Emilia clasped her palms together and said with pleading eyes.Oh…! She really needed this man to agree.King Ephraim didn’t say a word as he took off his Royal robe and gold belt as well. And as he did, Emilia could only stand and watch in anticipation..“You can leave, Sharon. I&rsquo
Carlotta stood up as soon as Liam left."What's he talking about? Why does he want me to get dressed up?" She asked Ginevra who was closing the door."I don't know Carlotta, but based on his words, I think you're going out with Lord Lorenzo". Ginevra replied and could clearly see the surprise in Carlotta's eyes."Going out with Lorenzo?' she scoffed."And why would I go out with Lorenzo? I mean.... to where?""You were here when the guard arrived, Carlotta. I have no idea. But to avoid getting into more trouble, I'd suggest we just get ready as instructed. Come on…"She held Carlotta's hand and pulled her towards the closet.*"I'm really not comfortable with this, Ginevra. I mean, I need to know why Lorenzo wants me to get dressed in the first place". Carlotta groused as Ginevra riffled through her wardrobe for some clothes."Just stop complaining, Carlotta and do as you're told. This is one of the reasons
Suspense ran through the room immediately as Lorenzo stared silently at the counsels with a blank expression.The silence stretched and went on for a long time, the counsels were beginning to think they might get punished. But it was necessary."Why should it be of any concern to you?" Lorenzo finally asked and it was of great relief to the men that he finally said something."My Lord" the chief council began. "No disrespect, but you should know getting an heir is as important as ruling this community. And that's the reason we'd gotten a third wife for you. You need an heir, My Lord. And for the fact you haven't been intimate with your new wife is of great concern to us. Is there a problem with her? That's the reason we're here, My Lord, to help with your problems. So, if there is one, you should please, let us know".Silence descended again as it seemed like the chief counsel had spoken the minds of the rest of the people of the members and now, the ball
Carlotta walked behind Liam as he led her to the Royal carriage as instructed and getting there, she noticed it was still empty."I thought Lord Lorenzo would be here already?" She turned to Liam and asked."He's getting ready, princess and will be here soon. Please, go into the carriage and wait" Liam answered respectfully with a bow and not wanting to create a scene, Carlotta walked into the carriage and took a seat.She didn't know for how long she waited but just when she was getting impatient, Lorenzo finally showed up. She knew so when she heard the guards calling out his name."My Lord".For no reason, Carlotta could feel her heart skip. Maybe it was because she'd be so close to Lorenzo for a long time, sitting next to him in the carriage and riding with him until they get to their so called destination.The curtains were opened right afterwards and taking a look, Carlotta's eyes came in contact with Lorenzo. Oh… crap.S
