Novel & Cerita Lucia Chapter 111

"You said that I was just a human. You're right. I'm a human, and humans die. Estelle. Stop curing me." I bit my lips tightly. I could not leave her, I did not have the heart to let her die. "Go." I shook my head, crying as never in my life. I was tired of losing people. I was tired of this war. My brother was hurt, I had no idea of ​​the state in which Adrien was. The others kept fighting. The goddess Luna asked for a sacrifice to make favours. Ainsley had just sacrificed herself. It was time to charge in.

“King? Do kings weep while fighting wars? Do they lament over sacrifices that are needed? No, true kings know what needs to be done and do it without weeping for what they’ve lost-” Lucia silences my self-deprecation by covering her mouth with mine and my lips claim hers without even thinking about what I am doing. She runs her fingers through my hair at the nape of my neck as her tongue plays softly against mine. It feels as if she’s breathing life back into me with a kiss alone. Then she pulls back with a chastising raise of her eyebrow. “I don’t know what happened tonight, but give yourself these few hours to break down but remember you’re Giovanni Vittori - you saw and you conquered.”

I sneered before dashing toward my office to retrieve important documents. I noticed more men storming in, surrounding my men. They wore different attire. "Lucian’s men." I muttered slowly. "What was I expecting?" I shook my head and hurriedly made my way to my room. Meanwhile, the fight continued. Lucian piercing hearts like never before, desperate to get to me. Just then, a lady with elf-like ears made her way in and shouted in an authoritative tone, her voice echoing— "STOP." Everything halted momentarily. She was dragging Madonna’s body across the floor. Was she dead?

I pleaded, my voice cracking under the weight of my desperation. Her eyes, those knowing eyes that seemed to have seen too much, left Lucian’s face. She didn’t speak. Her chest rose and fell as if something was being wrenched from within her. Slowly, her gaze drifted upward, following something invisible in the air until they settled on the full moon through the slightly opened window I had forgotten to close earlier. A visible tremor went through her. Then she gasped, like something finally clicked. She turned her eyes back to me, her lashes trembling with it. “Lucian has a defect.”

She no longer knew how to answer Lucky's many questions; if their acting mother, Elsa, understood the situation, Lucky would disagree with what they were doing, so unquestionably, Lucky would fight again when Luckywokes up. "I will bring him to somewhere, those far from here. But I will make sure to have a connection with all of you. While I am gone, I will expect you to continue the planned." Lucille said at length. Ales and Alley looked at each other, they already knew this was Lucille's next plan, but they hoped it would change. But destiny seems to be in line with Lucille now, and a lot is happening to match what they had planned. "When are you coming back?" Alley asked.

Lucian looked out across the trees “ Just thinking.” Athena stepped into view accidentally. Lucian’s eyes snapped towards her. Then, slowly, he leaned down and kissed Helena full on the mouth. Athena stood frozen, Helena smiled against his lips. Triumphant. Lucian pulled back, not looking at Helena, but at Athena. Athena turned and fled. —————— She couldn’t take it anymore. The moon had risen, and the halls were mostly quiet. Athena waited near the corridor for Lucian’s chambers, where she’d seen Helena disappear just an hour ago.

Then he walked to her door and flipped the lock. ‘She will not be attending to anyone for now anyways, not in her present position.’ He justified his action as he walked back to the room. Taking a seat on the chair he had occupied earlier, he kept his gaze on the bed and waited. Feeling heaviness behind her eyes, Lucianda tried to resist the temptation to open her eyes. She really did not know why, but her instinct was telling her she might not like the outcome. Disoriented, she went still on the bed trying to buy time. Gradually regaining her senses, she listened for sound and when there was none, she slightly opened her eyes.

“But one thing I do know for sure, is that I promise to find the bastard who did that to her… and when I do, oh I can assure you that he will pay.” I was too far gone to register what he was saying, or what we had even been talking about in the first place. I finished my last drink, feeling dizzy all of a sudden. “Ryan, where is Silvie?” I asked sleepily, taking my phone out to text her. I didn’t know how long she had been gone, but it was quite a long time ago. “I s-should tell her I’m going home.” I whispered drowsily, leaning against his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I got it.” He took my phone from me and sent her a text, showing it to me. “See? I’ve told her. Let’s get you out of here now.” I

she cackled happily to herself as she sauntered across the room and left, leaving Lucy and Maia alone once more. Lucy blinked at Maia in stunned silence before exploding with anger and frustration. “Just what the fuck exactly am I supposed to do with this memory now?! I feel like I’m unlocking cut scenes in some sort of video game and that’s really not very fucking helpful.” Maia sniggered unhelpfully and smirked. “Oh, just you wait. It’s about to get a whole lot better.” “What do you me-oh…fuck..” Lucy exclaimed as the room seemed to warp around her and suddenly she was presented with the vision of Theo fucking her against a wall whilst she begged him for more.

Hunter. “Hunter.” Her voice pulled me out of sleep before the light did. I didn’t open my eyes right away. I shifted closer instead, tightening around her waist instinctively. “You’re up early,” I murmured. “I didn’t really sleep,” Lucia revealed quietly. That made me open my eyes. She was turned toward me, her chin resting on her palm and her eyes already heavy with thoughts she hadn’t said yet. “Talk to me,” I said. She hesitated for a moment, then began. “The prison visit, with my father.”
