Lucian walked down the hall to the attic in a hurry. He couldn't wait to hug Violet in his arms. “Young master, please wait!” Albert said from behind, making Lucian stop his steps and turn around. “What is it?” Lucian asked as Albert stood before him. “Horace is waiting for you now. Your messenger has given him news.”Lucian told himself he had to meet Horace now. He then forced his feet to walk with Albert to the secret chamber in the underground of this palace. A well-built man wearing knight uniform was standing in the chamber waiting for Lucian. The man was Horace Asog. He is one of the warlords of the Melancthon kingdom who is loyal to Lucian.“My king,” Horace greeted Lucian politely as he and Albert walked in and stood before him. “What message did you get?” Lucian asked him directly.“Our messenger told me that the people of Greenville have started to believe the fortune teller who told them that you are the king who will bring this kingdom to ruin. A pl

The sun was about to set when the horse carriage carrying Lucian and Violet, along with the entourage, arrived in Greenville and entered the gates of a luxury house, and stopped at the main door. The soldiers heavily guarded the house so that no one could enter or even come near.Curiosity filled Violet's mind as she wondered where she was now and why she was here. She wanted to ask Lucian, but she didn't dare open her mouth to ask him. “Put on the cloak now,” Lucian said into Violet's eyes. She nodded at him and took the cloak that was on the seat next to her and put it on. The cloak covered her head and entire body. Only her nose and lips could be seen. He told her to wear it so the soldiers could not see her beauty. Lucian led Violet out of the carriage and they walked over to Horace, who was waiting by the door with his two men. They greeted Lucian politely before they all walked into the house. There were no maids in the house, only soldiers on guard.

Violet opened her eyes and saw the soft sunlight pouring in through the bedroom window as she heard birds chirping in the trees around the hut. She smiled as she breathed in the morning air. She slept so well last night that she no longer had panda eyes.The smile on her face suddenly turned curious as she felt her head and hands resting on something hard and warm. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, realizing that she was lying in Lucian's arms.She quickly lifted her head and hands from his chest. He pulled her by the arm as she sat up and made her lie down on top of him with his eyes fixed on hers. She couldn’t help but breathed nervously in his arms.“Don’t go. Stay with me.”She paused, staring at him. The gentle look in his eyes and his gentle voice made her unable to refuse him but to obey. Her heart beat faster and faster as his eyes slowly fell to her lips. She shivered in pleasure as he caressed her lips gently with his thumb. He tucked h

Violet stood silently facing the kitchen table. Her mind and gaze were blank. She was like a statue, holding bread in her hands. Last night, Lucian ate her again, and he did that all night long. He gave her pleasure and pain. He made her come many times, and he also made her whole body sore. She gasped as she felt arms hug her waist from behind. “Is breakfast ready?” Lucian said in a soft voice with his cheek pressed against hers. “It will be ready in a minute,” she said in a nervous voice. He smiled devilry as he kept her in his arms. He enjoyed so much seeing her nervous and it made him want to tease her even more. “Please, can you wait in the chair?” she said with her heart beating rapidly. “Why? Don't you like me hugging you?” he asked back. She swallowed her nervousness. “I can't make breakfast if you keep hugging me.”  He laughed softly, then he took his arms from her waist and sat on a wooden chair, watching her prepare breakfast. He could tell th

The sound of glass breaking on the floor was heard from inside the hut. Grover, who had just returned to guard the surroundings along with his men, immediately walked into the hut. His eyes opened wide in shock to see Darius, who was sitting on the floor, leaning his back against the wooden wall. His hand was covered in blood, injured by broken glass.“Darius! What are you doing?!” Grover asked frantically as he walked over, crouched down, holding his arm with his worried eyes on him.“I have to take revenge for my parents. I have to kill Lucian and bring Violet back into my arms,” Darius said drunkenly. He tried to stand up but couldn't. “Where are you going?” Grover said, as he put his arm around his shoulders so he wouldn't fall.“I will kill Lucian now! I will skin him alive—” Darius suddenly fell into his uncle's arms with his eyes closed.Grover's heart grieved to see his beloved nephew like this. He helped him to stand up and took him to the b
