"Violet!" Lucian called her name as he woke up from his sleep. He sat up on the mattress. His heart was beating wildly with worry, gripping him firmly. Horace, Eric, and Oliver, who were sleeping in the tent with him, woke up from their sleep at the sound."My king, what's wrong?" Horace asked as they crouched near him. Not a single word came out of Lucian's mouth. He was struggling to catch his breath. Seeing Lucian's pale face with deep worry in his eyes made them worry about him.Lucian moved his gaze from the front to Horace's. "Tell our soldiers to move now," he said.Horace and the others saw Lucian standing up from the mattress with worry and curiosity in their eyes. They wanted to know what had happened to him, but they didn't dare to ask more.They then stood up and did as their king said. Lucian and his men, along with thousands of soldiers, mounted on their horses and went from that place towards the village of Isambard in the

"Kill them all! Show them no mercy!" Lucian shouted in anger, with a sword in his hand. He and his armies are fighting to get their land back. Lucian slaughtered his enemies without mercy. He pierced their hearts, slashing their heads. He vented his anger in them. All he had in mind was to kill them all and bring Violet back into his arms. He desperately wanted to skin Darius alive with his own hands.Horace, Eric, and Oliver kept protecting their king from the attacks of their enemies. They knew what was on his mind. He couldn't think straight because of the anger that was burning inside him and that made them so worried about him.In one day, Lucian and his armies have killed all their enemies and got the village of Tyrus back. The ground was covered with blood, flesh, and the body parts of their enemies scattered everywhere."Tell our armies to move now. We must go to Tingis and kill them all!" Lucian said into Horace's eyes as he caught his breath. He looked

Black clouds covered the moon and stars, imprison them in the dark. Tears dripped from Violet's closed eyes. She was lying on the bed with Darius beside her who was sleeping. Every night he f*cked her. He made her feel like she was living in hell and there was no way to escape.Violet opened her eyes then she looked at Darius' face with hatred and anger filling her eyes. She told herself that this was a good chance to kill him. But how to kill him she asked herself. She doesn't have a knife; she doesn't even have a fork. She wanted to strangle his neck to death, but she didn't have the strength to do so.The furrow on her forehead disappeared when her brain told her something. "Right! I have to pretend to obey him and be kind to him so I can get out of this room," she said in her mind. She moved her gaze away from his face looking ahead and closed her eyes. "No! Please ... Please help me. I'm scared," she said in fear. She pretended to have a bad dream.

The sun had set when Violet was sitting on a bed in her room. She was staring at a wood carving in the shape of a violet flower in her hands. It was Darius who carved it for her and gave it to her as her birthday present. She took it with her when she and her mother ran away from their palace.She touched the flower stalk with her heart beating fast in fear. "Don't be afraid. You have to do that. You have to kill him to save him," she told herself over and over again.She quickly put the flower in her hands under the pillow when she heard footsteps approaching her room and she looked at the door while trying to calm her rapid heartbeat. "Princess Violet, Prince Darius wants you to see him now," a man said from behind the door.Curiosity took over Violet's mind upon hearing what the man said. She stood up from the bed, walked over to the door and opened it. She saw a man dressed in army uniform standing in front of her. He is one of Darius'

Dark clouds covered the sky as Oliver's body burned in the fire. The rain that fell hide the tears that dripped from Lucian's, Eric's, and Horace's eyes. Garret who was standing with them looked at them with sadness filling his eyes. He could feel how sad they were to lose Oliver forever.They all returned to the tent after the burial ceremony was over. Lucian was sitting on a chair while Eric, Horace, and Garret were standing in front of him."Your Highness, I'm sorry for your loss," Garret said into Lucian's eyes in a mournful tone. Lucian said nothing just looking at him with deep sadness in his eyes.Garret was silent as he hesitated to speak. He asked himself if this was the right time to pass the message from his queen to him. "Your Highness," he finally said. "I just got a message from my queen. She said she wanted to meet you at her palace.""How dare your queen ask our king that after what she has done to us! She is the one who declared war! All
