'The slave has escaped'' That was the only word that was heard throughout the entire castle the next morning.The king had sent the guards to go fetch her and that was the moment that realised she was gone. The king went into rage immediately, he had ordered them to bring her for execution."How did she escape?!" The king roared, glaring at the guards standing before him. "Where are the keepers of the dungeon?! Get them!"Gwen moved away from the huge door when she heard the order, running into the hallway and down the stairs, she had been eavesdropping on them. Eleanor escaped. She didn't know what emotion to settle on. She was happy she escaped but where did she go? They had absolutely nowhere to go? Would she be fine? How did she escape in the first place? Those bars were definitely locked. How could she?She stopped in the middle of the stairs when something clicked in her head.Nikolai?Could it be?Did he help her?She remembers well he was saying he'd do something about it. Gwe

"Luciano." Helen dropped the brush in her hands immediately, rushing to him. "Don't move, just lay still." She held his shoulders, gently pushing him back on the bed. Luciano grunted, trying to get up from the bed. "No, my prince. You have a deep wound on your chest. Please don't make it worse." Helen rushed her words, trying as much as possible to stop him from standing. "Stay still. I'll inform the others that you're awake, the physician has to know." Helen moved away from the bed and rushed out of the room.She came back a few minutes later,this time around with Nikolai, The Queen and Mabuse. Mabuse did a little check on him just for a few minutes. "He's surprisingly getting better." He said to the Queen, a few seconds after he was done with Luciano. Queen Ariel heaved out a loud sigh of relief, placing her palm on her temple. "Luciano." She rushed towards him, ready to wrap her arms around him in a comforting hug when he raised his hands at her, making her stop immediately. "Lu

Ariel couldn’t understand the shivers that ran down her spine immediately he said those words. She knows very well he doesn’t joke with words, just like his father. Regret suddenly filled her but disappeared immediately it came. “Don’t say that, Luciano.”Luciano scoffed and ran his palm over his face. He looked like he was struggling hard to refrain himself from flaring in anger. His fists repeatedly clench together, his breaths already coming out in pants. “Leave.” He growled warningly.“There is no point getting angry Luciano, we did this for you, for your safe-““Don’t you dare say that!!!” Axel stopped talking when Luciano suddenly yelled. “When has Eleanor ever been a threat?! Just tell me! WHEN?!” For the first time in so many years Ariel saw his eyes water. She must say she’s never seen him so hurt, her heart clenched in guilt when a drop of tears slipped from his eyes. “Do you know what you are now?” He was the only one speaking now because it seemed she had nothing to say.

Gwen woke up earlier than normal the next morning and did all important chores right before it was time for breakfast. She had a plan in mind and hopefully it works out well.After dropping a few things in the store room, she headed down the stairs, with one place in mind. The kitchen. She usually avoids going there everyday, but today she knew her entire plan depends on it."Sorry, oh- hey." She bumped into someone, immediately realising it's Nikolai. They don't see each other often again, since she has a lot of duties and work now, considering the fact Luciano isn't helping again but locked up in his room, they were given loads of work.She remembers their conversation yesterday, a quite heated one though. Her first plan was to try to make Nikolai tell Luciano the truth, she knew for sure Luciano would listen to him but he refused, bluntly. Giving an excuse it was for the sake of Eleanor's safety. Gwen knows well it wouldn't affect her, she hates to see him this way, considering the

“Surprised?” Sabrina burst out laughing out loud hysterically. “Oh my god, I never imagined how the look on your face would be, but trust it definitely worth it, and I'll do this over and over again just to see this look again.” Ariel shook her head in disbelief as she burst out laughing again.“Elliot, what is this?” He never thought he could ever do something like this. Hell! They were brothers and this is definitely the most shocking thing that has ever happened to him.“It is what it is Axel.” Elliot answered with an evil smirk on his face. “Oh, I forgot you might be so dumb to realise all that is going, so I’m going to spare a littlle of my time and do the explanation.”He nodded at one of the attackers, or rather his secret soldiers and he left immediately, returning with two chairs which Elliot and Sabrina sat on respectively. “Okay, here we go. Storytime.” Elliot rubbed his palm together, faking enthusiasm. “First of all Axel, I’d love to say you have been so stupid and really
