Lucien's POVI walked out of my chambers, and that should be the first time in so many weeks. I've always been the kind of person whose always indoors. The guards followed me behind while I walked in front.Holding my robe with my left hand, I walked bravely to the treasury room. I go there every month ending to check the treasures that I've kept there.Axel quickly opened the chains and padlock used to lock the door, and throws the door open. I walked into the dark treasury room, and looked around it. I was already used to the dark, so I could see through it perfectly.The first place I went to was the place I placed my precious diamond necklace. I consider that treasure precious because it was the last gift my late wife had given to me before she was gruesomely killed.I picked up the little silver bowl where I usually place the necklace, and to my greatest surprise it was nowhere to be found. Not only that, but I flared up with so much rage. Furthermore, I can lose every other trea

Xavier's POVI got down from the horse, and walked majestically closer to Stone who glared hard at me like he just saw his enemy."How are you doing, cousin?" I forced a smile at him, and he rolled his eyes."I should be asking you what you are doing here Xavier? What are you doing here uninvited?" Lucien furrowed his eyebrows, and I smirked."I got your message, but I didn't want to believe it. I mean, she's just a slave and there's no way you would refuse selling her to me, right?" I replied, and turned my gaze to the unconscious slave.To my greatest surprise, it turned out to be the same slave who I wanted Lucien to sell to me."What is the meaning of this, Stone? Why do you want to kill the slave whom I told you I'd like to buy from you?" I arched my eyebrows, and he exhaled deeply."She's mine, and whatever I do with her, it's none of your business. You're not allowed to interfere here because you have no right to" Lucien growled at me."Are you planning to kill her? If you real

Emery's POVI clinked the glass of wine I was holding with Rodolfo smiling broadly."This is the best day of my life. I've never been this happy for a long time, and now I can happily be here again as the one and only master's favorite slave" I married, and Rodolfo nodded his head in agreement."I'm very happy for you Emery, but don't you feel guilty after doing what you did to her. She would have been killed you know?" Rodolfo exhaled deeply."That was the plans young man. I had wanted the Master to kill her, she should consider herself lucky that Master Xavier decided to take her to the valleys" I smirked rather mercilessly."I know I should be feeling this way, but I kind of feel guilty. I don't know, but I feel sorry for her. You heard Master Xavier, right? He said they were still going to punish her in the valleys?" Rodolfo widened his eyes."She deserves all the punishments in the world for trying to steal my precious position from me thinking I'll let her be. She's mistaken bec

Madison's POVI raised my eyebrows at him still very stunned. Was that a slip of the tongue? He can't possibly mean marriage? What is he talking about? Lots of thoughts kept running through my mind."What are you saying master? Are you trying to tell me that I'm getting married to...to you?" I stammered, and he took my hand. "I know you are surprised, but I just want you to know that there's no way I'll let anyone hurt you. You're safe here, and about the marriage... Yes. You and I are getting married anything soon" He replied with a smile, and I gulped hard."You seem to have forgotten who I am Master, have you forgotten that I'm a slave at the Stone's castle? Why would a Master like you want to marry a slave?" I cried out, and he shook his head."You're not a slave here in the valleys, Madison. No one will dare to treat you like a slave" He assured me, and I scratched my head.Honestly, I didn't know how to feel. Should I be happy that he said he'd protect me? Should I be happy he

Lucien's POV"Get out" I shouted at her pushing her away, and walking into the inner room. I could hear her footsteps as she ran out of the room.I walked straight to the bathroom and showered as fast as I could. Getting out of the bathroom, I met lady Delia who was looking so sad."Lady Delia, why is your face like that? What happened?" I asked with arched eyebrows, and Lady Delia sighed."I'm really confused, Lucien. What do I do now? Your daughter has refused to eat or drink anything, and she's not even going to attend classes, she's been sobbing" Lady Delia cried out, and my eyes dimmed immediately.Anger engulfed me, but I managed to get a hold of myself. Who could have caused my daughter's sadness? There is absolutely nothing she wants that I won't get for her especially if it's within my reach."What could be the problem? Who dares to make my Princess sad?" I growled."Why don't you come and see her for yourself? I'm exhausted because she has refused to even look at me. I don't
