'Lola? Is she alright?' he began to get worried.
Michael informed him that his meeting with Lucifer was successful and the Lord of the underworld knows that they held his daughter hostage. He said everything is fine now. But the sudden arrival of Lucifer is a bit unsettling to Lucas.
Samuel is a werewolf. He knows who Lucifer is. But no matter his stature as the lord of the underworld, Lucas is more powerful than him and he is the boss of this building.
"Allow him inside" Lucas murmured absently.
'Lola' he thought with a frown. An uneasy feeling settled in his gut. He never guessed that this meeting is going to change the course of his life.
Lucifer knows what to tell Lucas to make him agree to a meeting with him. Just like he thought, he was allowed inside. The moment Lucifer stepped inside the lavishly decorated but practical cabin, he was hit by raw power oozing from the man sitting behind the desk.
"Mr Reynolds, please have a seat" Lucas
Lucas sniffed the arrow and frowned.'Why does the arrow smells like Chloroform?' he wondered.He touched the tip which grazed the princess and is coated with her blood. He sniffed the tip with a frown. He immediately understood what is happening here.His eyes became black with suppressed anger."Take this back. Tell your Lord that I am asking for an audience with him" Lucas sent a message to Lucifer.Not long after, Lucifer came with his guards in tow. Lucas looked at the other people in the room sceptically."Alone" he muttered.Lucifer frowned but sent everyone out of the room."What is it?" he asked feeling anxious.As soon as Lucas found out what is going on here, he became angry at Lucifer."Someone inside the palace is backstabbing you which you failed to notice" Lucas informed what he observed since he came here.Lucifer is confused now. He understood that someone is trying to hurt him
"Can you stay here for a few days?" Lucifer requested.Lucas is taken aback by his sudden request."It's for Lola's safety. You saw what is happening around her. I don't want to take risks with her life" Lucifer tried to convince Lucas, misunderstanding his silence as reluctance.Lucas wants the same thing, but he wanted clarity from Lucifer."Are you asking me to be her bodyguard?" he asked to make sure that he understood correctly. He doesn't mind being her bodyguard, but he doesn't want to assume things.Lucifer doesn't exactly mean that. He wanted to keep Lucas close to his daughter, as selfish as that might look. Lucas is the only person who could protect his daughter from every threat. As a father, he wanted his daughter to be safe."Oh no, please don't misunderstand my words. I can never make such a request with a person of your stature. It's just that, I couldn't recognize the potted plants until you pointed them ou
Lucifer and the others were elated to see the Princess awake. The entire palace was bustling with excitement. Lucifer called in for a celebration to celebrate his daughter's health and thank Lucas. Lucas was shown to his room and was invited by Lucifer to attend the dinner party he was hosting that evening. Lucas noticed that he has a closet full of human clothes in his temporary room, thanks to Lucifer. He picked something simple and casual. In the underworld, the demons prefer to wear a shirt and a belt is tied around their waist. They complete their ensemble with tight breeches and they prefer knee-length boots for their feet. But Lucas picked a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers. He doesn't belong to any world, so he can choose to wear whatever makes him feel comfortable. By the time he reached the great hall, celebrations have already begun. The great hall is like a ballroom in the palace. There are several small round tables arranged all around t
Just like Lucas ordered, the maid came with the soup which would be light and give strength to Lola."Now drink this" Lucas pushed the soup bowl closer to her.Lola looked at the thick soup filled with steamed meat pieces and lots of vegetables in it."What is this?" she asked with a frown."Soup" he replied, making fun of her.Lola tried to glare at him but failed when a smile slipped past her lips."You know that's not what I am asking" she pointed out.Lucas smirked."Thought of having some fun at your expense. I noticed you are not a brat here. So I can tease you, taunt you and even torment you, but you will not retaliate. Because I am your guest" he pointed out.Lola smirked."Don't make the mistake of underestimating me" she teased him with the same mischievous twinkle she used to possess on the island."Game on princess. It's my turn to play pranks on you" he winked at her.For the
Two people met under the blanket of darkness."What happened? Is she dead yet?" One of them asked."No, Lord Lucifer brought someone from the human world. He removed the plants from her room. She is recovering" the other one replied."Damn it. How is it possible? Who is he?" the first one demanded."I don't know, but Lord Lucifer respects him a lot. I noticed that the princess is fond of him too. I think they are acquainted with each other in the past" the second one replied.The first one became thoughtful."No matter whatever happens, I want her dead. If this new man tries to protect her, kill him as well. I want Lucifer to suffer just like I did" the first one said with anger."Alright. What do you want me to do next?" the second one asked?The first person retried a vial from his breeches."This vial will make lesser demons lose their mind and crave blood. You said the princess likes a good sword fight. Give this to
Lola reached the training ground which is situated just outside the palace on the right side. The training ground is filled with sand so that the movements are a little restrained and the legs would get some workout. This is a technique that is used to increase the stealth of the warrior. If a warrior is used to moving on the soft sand, then it is easy for him to move on all kinds of grounds. The training ground is open, and the weapons for the training are neatly arranged to one side. Anyone who wants to train can pick their weapon of choice from the available weapons. Lola's weapon of choice is mostly a sword and at times she loves to target practice with a bow and arrow.When the guards noticed that the princess is coming, they stood aside and allowed the princess to choose her opponent. Lola randomly chose a warrior and went to pick up her sword.No one saw her chosen warrior drinking spiked water just before walking into the middle of the training ground. He
The anger in his gaze is so palpable, that she took several steps back with fear. Lola noticed his anger as well."Lucas" she called him softly to divert his attention from the poor maid. Lola is not sure about what made him so mad. She didn't see him this angry even when she ruined his laptop. So she understood that something must have happened to upset him this much.The moment her voice penetrated the haze of his anger, his eyes softened a little. He looked at her quietly."It's alright. They can help me now. I am not in pain anymore" she tried to assure him."No" Lucas refused to hand her over to them without a pause.The guards became angry when he refused the request made by their princess. They considered his refusal as an insult to their princess. So they surrounded Lucas to hurt him. Lola noticed it and so did Lucas."What are you doing?" She cried with shock. She is sure Lucas can handle them just fine, but she is worried about the
She began to punch him on his chest for doing that to her. She is shocked to realize that she actually liked it and she is even wet. Tears of humiliation and confusion ran down her cheeks and she didn't stop hitting until she is exhausted. Lucas remained quiet and let her vent out all of her anger on him. "How could you do that to me?" she glared at him. He looked at her with an unreadable expression. She should learn to act smart when the situation is out of control and mainly when she might end up losing her life. He is still angry about everything that happened down there. Lord Lucifer went somewhere with some business and handed Lola to him and believed that Lucas would keep his daughter safe. But just a few minutes after Lucifer left the palace, this happened. With or without her father's request, Lucas would have protected Lola. He has grown fond of her. He is a recluse and he is shocked to admit this to himself in the first place. "But you
