LOGINC101: His…Lucian's gaze remained fixed on the Captain."Who gave you the order?" His voice was calm, but there was no warmth in it.The Captain trembled, he could feel the bile rising in his throat as his mind struggled to find another excuse.He didn't know what to say anymore to save himself.He had already called Elder Theodore, and the letter had been presented as evidence, but the Grand Prince somehow had discovered the scent of lemon juice on it.Now his evidence was useless.The Captain's eyes darted across the marble floor, afraid to look the Grand Prince in his eyes.There was something terrifying about his eyes.Elder Theodore, who was still standing a short distance away, finally spoke. "Tell him the truth," he demanded, his voice shaking despite his attempt to sound authoritative. "Who told you to lie against me?”The elder was already frightened. He had never expected to be caught up in this heat.The Captain slowly lifted his head and looked at him.Their eyes met for
C100: Don't Tell LiesLucian's eyes became sharp the moment the guard muttered the elder's name."Elder Theodore."Some of the elders murmured among themselves.Lucian slowly leaned back in his chair and stared at the captain. His expression was calm, but his two coloured eyes carried a dangerous intensity.On the other hand, Elder Theodore's eyes widened slightly.The elder immediately lowered his gaze, trying to hide the panic that had begun to spread within him, hoping the Grand Prince wouldn't see it.Lucian stared into the Captain's eyes, the latter gulped. “Are you speaking the truth?.” He asked in a calm tone, the Captain nodded.“I am very sure, Your Highness.” Lucian hummed and slowly stood up, he turned toward the King."Your Majesty." He called out calmly. “You may like to hear it directly from the horse's mouth."The captain swallowed hard, his eyes shifted toward Elder Theodore for a few seconds
C99: Terrifying Grand Prince The Grand Prince slowly leaned forward, the intensity in his gaze not disappearing for even a second.His two-coloured eyes moved across the guards before settling on one of them. "Who amongst you is the captain?" He asked calmly, too calm for someone with the gaze he held.Four of the guards immediately glanced at the male kneeling in the middle.The captain's heart dropped to his stomach when he noticed their eyes on him. He turned toward them with an annoyed expression, but his annoyance quickly disappeared when his gaze met the Grand Prince's two-coloured eyes.He immediately scurried forward on his knees. Every instinct in his body was telling him to run as far away as possible from the frightening male before him, but he knew better than to turn his back on the Grand Prince.Lucian hummed softly as he studied the frightened male before him. "Did you lock Raine in the abandoned room on your own accord?"The captain immediately broke into cold sweats
C98: A Quiet StormThe day went by slowly.Liya remained by Raine's side, watching as her colour seemed to be gradually returning to her pale face.She refused to leave her side, waiting for her to wake up.Meanwhile the Grand Prince stayed in his room, waiting for the King's arrival.Lucian sat quietly on his chair, dressed only in his trousers.His long black and blue hair fell loosely behind his back, with a few stubborn strands falling beside his face.His two coloured eyes were fixed on the goblet in his hand.His fingers slowly rotated the goblet. He hated waiting like this.He wanted to figure out who had ordered for Raine to be confined in a dark, abandoned room filled with broken furniture.Lucian's thoughts drifted back to the wound on her hand, he wondered if the poison had been worse, what would have happened?His jaw tightened slightly at the thought.It hadn't been a minute before a gentle knock suddenly sounded against the door.Lucian's gaze shifted toward the door, h
C97: His Vitali WolfThe Royal Physician tapped his fingers lightly against the wooden table, thoughtfully.He continued the act for a few seconds then he finally looked at Lucian. "Your Highness, I would like to make a few assumptions."Lucian nodded calmly. "I think she is a Vitali." He said before the Royal Physician could speak.The Royal Physician slowly raised a brow.Leonard, who had just picked up a cup of water, nearly choked. "A Vitali?" Leonard repeated, surprised at Lucian's suggestion.Liya was the only one left completely confused.She muttered softly to herself. "What... is a Vitali Wolf?"Neither Lucian nor Leonard answered immediately, they were engrossed in the conversation.The Royal Physician leaned back slightly before looking at Lucian once more. "I suspected the same thing."He folded his hands together. "But I would like to know why you think so too, Your Highness."Lucian leaned forward slightly. "When I finished giving her the White-leaved Moonherb liquid..
C96: You Will Always Be My Little Apple Lucian crossed the room in the blink of an eye.He dropped on one knee beside Raine before carefully lifting her upper body into his arms, his long fingers brushed away the strands that covered her face."Raine..." Her name rolled out softly from his lips, like something fragile.What a male like him was not known for.His mismatched eyes remained fixed on her pale face. One eye was icy blue while the other remained as black as fine obsidian stone.For the first time in a long while, his eyes carried something beyond indifference.It bore anger and pain.It didn't take long before the others followed him into the room.Liya’s eyes widened instantly. "My Lady!"She immediately ran over before kneeling beside Raine and gently held her shoulder."My Lady... wake up." Her voice trembled with worry, but Raine remained unconscious.The Royal Physician quickly crouched beside Lucian.His expression darkened when he noticed Raine's pale complexion.Luc
C10: Birthday Night Two months later, evening… The days had passed peacefully, with little or no trouble from Alice. Raine thought it was a good sign. Maybe Alice was too focused on her training to cause problems. Today was her birthday. Raine sat in the bathtub with her eyes closed, lost in her
C9: The Only Chance Raine trekked home, watching as the sun slowly dipped beneath the horizon. Before nightfall, she arrived. The moment she stepped inside, she saw her parents seated. Their expressions were unreadable at first, but the instant their eyes fell on her, everything changed. Alice
C8: Fuming Alice That day went by, and watching Alice train with him was a bit excruciating. Raine would occasionally frown, pout, or look sad. The warriors did not help either, as they cheered them on and paired them together. Once they were done training, Alice left with Maya, leaving Raine beh
C7: Perfect Couple Alice gulped and shook her head. “I… I don't know. Don’t look at me that way,” she muttered, her voice barely audible. Raphael chuckled, but the intensity in his eyes remained. “Let's continue our practice,” he said calmly. By evening, Alice hurried back home, but the inciden
