When Luciana got back to the castle, she left Terrence for her guards, while she went to find Raziel. She was surprised to find them in the parlour, talking over an early lunch. Dahlia was there too. Two servants walked round the table, serving them. Maybe the gathering was exactly what she needed after finding out about Terrence's betrayal."My love." Raziel cooed at her, making her lips lift into a smile. She walked to him and placed a kiss on his right cheek, before pulling out a chair to sit beside him."What is the party for?" She asked as she settled into her chair. Raziel, Lorenzo and Dahlia shared knowing glances, making her feel like they were hiding something from her. "Tell me." She turned to Raziel, but he smiled sheepishly. She then faced Dahlia, and she averted her gaze. "Lorenzo help me out. Please?" She asked in a low tone, knowing that he would likely not deny her."Uh, I am sorry, your majesty, but it is up to the king to tell you.""Raziel?" She called softly, turni

Ever since Raziel found out that Luciana was pregnant, he did everything he could to make her extra comfortable. He made sure she had everything she was craving, and at the moment she was craving it. But he also took the physician's advice to mind, making her eat healthy. He was going to relieve her from every duty, but she disagreed with him. She argued that she would lose her sanity if all she ever did was to sit around and be taken care of all day. Luckily for her, the physician supported her."Open your mouth." Raziel said, bringing a slice of apple to her lips. She lay on the bed, while he sat on a chair beside her."Have you ever seen a pregnant woman before, Raziel?" She questioned him."Of course. Why do you ask?""I just wanted to know if you once saw anyone collapse and die from lack of care for a minute."He chuckled. "Ah, so now you are tired of me?""I love you, but you are annoying." She stated with a roll of her eyes."Ouch!"She then smiled apologetically. "Sorry. But

Dahlia and Lorenzo were in the castle with Luciana and Raziel. Things were going smoothly, and there was no much work to be done at the moment. They were casually having some trivial discussions in the parlour. Dahlia then suggested something that made the others turn to her in disbelief."I want to cook for all of us."Lorenzo was the first to speak. She could easily tell that he was amused at the suggestion. "Why don't you just let the cooks do that? You shouldn't bother yourself.""That is not what you really mean to say, is it?" She asked with a roll of her eyes. "You can do a lot of things Dahlia." He knew she could fight, and she was knowledgeable in politics. She was also good with words and people. He saw that the day she faced Evelyn's father. And she was also VERY good in anything sexual. "But you should avoid house chores.""I am not doing chores, I just want to cook.""You know how to cook?" Raziel chimed in, also looking amused."Why do all of you just assume that I cann

Luciana heed to Dahlia's advice, and she told Raziel about it. Raziel saw sense in it and immediately agreed with her. She couldn't be more grateful for how supportive he was of her.Luciana made sure to spend as much time with her sister, as she would be going back with Elric after the wedding. It was going to take place the next day."Lucy, how did you come up with the idea of making poison for vampires and werewolves?""Oh, just from a few studies." Luciana responded."People study all the time. But they don't do things like that."Luciana shrugged. "Maybe it was determination. I was driven by hate. I just wanted to end the vampire and werewolf race, or die trying." She smiled, remembering everything. "Even before they killed our family, the oppression was rampant. I have always hated the unfairness. But I just couldn't take more after what they did to us, so... the poison happened.""That's really impressive. I also heard that you made the cure for the poison." Freya stated. She r

Elric's eyes met Freya for a moment, and he sent her a warm smile. He wanted to say something to her, but since it was Luciana's wedding, he should pay her all the attention. "You look beautiful, Luciana." He stated, and she smiled. "Thank you Elric. You look dashing yourself." She then walked to Elric and linked her arm in his. Before they walked out, Dahlia rushed to them and whispered in Luciana's ear; "Fuck him hard tonight." Luciana's eyes widened, but she did not have the time to respond. She noticed Elric's discreet smile and she knew that he heard. But thankfully, he didn't make a comment, he just walked her out of the room. When they got to the front of the double doors of the throne room, Elric stopped walking and turned to her. She too turned to look at him. She wondered if he was still attracted to her in any way. She believed he was now over her. She liked that he was the one giving her away. It symbolizes that he was indeed letting her go, and he seemed satisfied.
