I shifted from one foot to another restlessly, my eyes blurring a few times. I'm really tired and hungry yet I can't do anything about it. The Prince is currently training with some other warriors, he doesn't seem to get tired at all. I yawned for the umpteenth time moving my hair off my face. I let out a tired sign and dropped to the ground, sitting on it. I can't keep up with standing, it's draining the little energy I have left in me. While sitting on the floor and watching the prince train with so much vigour, my mind travelled back to the scene at the Prince's room. I really can't say what pushed me to talk back to that princess but I had to do it, she's definitely one of those spoilt brat princesses. I mean, she's seeing me for the first time and the next thing she do is insult me while I'm standing. I've never met her before talk more of having a misunderstanding wi

Evander rushed forward and pushed the door to the Prince's room open. Luciano walked into the room and stood by the side letting Killian get in with Eleanor in his arms. Killian glanced at the prince as if asking him where to drop her. "On the bed." Luciano ordered answering the unasked question. Killian glanced one more time at this prince as if asking for confirmation before dropping her on the bed. Eleanor whimpered softly though she was asleep. "No, lay her on her belly." Luciano quickly said as he noticed her discomfort, she's probably feeling pain from her injured back. Killian turned Eleanor on her belly before stepping aside, waiting for the Prince's next order. "Killian, go to Madam Helen and tell her to come here and bring some of those healing herbs, all of it. Go." "Yes my prince." Killian bowed and left the room. "Evander, tell Mabuse to get here quick with all his healing herbs. Tell him I said it's important and if he doesn't get here soon I won't hesitate to

"Don't tell me to calm down Elliot!! Do not tell me!! My son has gone insane!! He has gone insane!!" Axel roared pacing furiously around the throne room. "Why would he do that?!! To a stupid slave!! A STUPID SLAVE!! Come on, just think about it Elliot!! And don't tell me it's nothing!!!" "You know what?? Damn that slave, I'm killing her!!" Elliot let out a sign, shaking his head in frustration. "Axel," He called raising his brows tiredly at him. "You need to calm so you won't blow this up. I'm sure Luciano knows what he's doing. He might even have a plan, who knows??" "To hell with such plan." Axel growled, still pacing around the room with anger boiling in him. "Come on Axel, we all know Luciano. He's not so vulnerable to anyone, talk more of a mere slave. You're just getting worked up for nothing." "Don't tell me that Elliot." Axel stopped pacing and stood still pointing his finger at Elliot with a dead stare on his face. "Luciano has never acted this way, so what the hell are

*Three days later* Luciano walked into the field, his eyes moving around the field in search of someone. He breathed out a sign of relief immediately he spotted Nikolai at the end of the field talking to a warrior. Nikolai turned his head to stare at him immediately he noticed footsteps approaching him, he said something to the warrior before turning to face his brother. "Hey brother." He greeted with his usual smile on his face. "I need to talk to you." Luciano replied almost immediately. "Ohh," Nikolai raised his brows in confusion before they both walked towards a more silent area in the field. "So what do you wanna talk about?" Nikolai asked staring at him questioningly. "You're not gonna say this to anyone?" Nikolai furrowed his brows at him in confusion before answering. "Sure I won't." "Okay." Luciano muttered, rubbing his palms together like he was nervous. "I don't know how to say this but- gods this is so weird- I've suddenly developed a weird feeling." Nikolai quir

"Now tell me what the hell happened." He ordered. "Everything." He added staring deeply at her. Was he really ready to hear her out? Eleanor gulped down the lump in her throat, twisting her hands together. She took a deep breath before narrating all that happened to him. A few minutes after Eleanor has finished speaking, silence descended in the room. Eleanor shifted from one foot to another as tension filled the air. She lifted her eyes up when she heard movement from the prince. Luciano stood up from the chair and walked around to the front of the table and rested on it, folding his arms together. He let out a short breath, running his hands through his hair. He can't believe Elliot would do that. Like, what the hell is wrong with that man? He knows how to perfectly step on his toe. "You should have have resisted him." Luciano say staring at her. "Huh?" Eleanor stared up at him in shock. How do hell could he ask her that after all she told him. "Maybe if I was so strong, p
