“I thought you were uninterested?” He smirked. “Follow me if you want to know.”
I considered following him for a while, but then just decided I should. I could not let him go alone to meet Klara when I knew her intentions. If she could do anything to get a married man, I had to do everything to keep my man for myself.
Klara stood in the middle of the garden wearing an armor, but still looking as beautiful as ever. Her blonde hair glowed like the sunlight and her eyes were as blue as the summer sky. Yes, she was absolutely beautiful and blonde, just how Lucian liked his women I guess.
I could see how the soldiers that were gathered in the garden couldn’t stop staring at her. Did Lucian find her that beautiful too?
“Good morning princess Hazel and … Lucian, I am glad you kept your word.” She smiled as we neared. In the back of the garden, I could see Astrid sitting comfortably on a chair.
“Don’t be too excited,” he said in a serious tone and it surprised me they spoke so casually to each other, which bothered me. Lucian had explained on our way that Klara wanted to have a fight with him.
Something seemed suspicious to me.
I sat next to Astrid while Lucian grabbed a sword, ready to fight with Klara.
“I don’t know why my sister insists to fight with him. It’s clear that he is going to win.” Astrid said. Yes, if it was true that he killed hundreds of men on his own, then one woman wouldn’t be a problem.
Klara began to swing her sword at Lucian and he was avoiding every swing swiftly without even raising his. At last he raised his sword and blocked one of her attacks. This time he started attacking her and it looked like she had a hard time defending herself. He had a smirk on his face and told her something I couldn’t hear.
They fought back and forth and it looked like Lucian was going easy on her. He didn’t even seem to try. I bet he could do this blindfolded. Klara, on the other hand, was panting and her hair got a little messy, but she wasn’t willing to give up.
Lucian swung his sword at her and just as she was to block his attack it looked like she changed her mind half ways and Lucian sword cut her on the upper arm. Blood seeped from the wound. It felt as if the time stood still for a while because everyone was quiet and chocked before Astrid rose from her seat and ran to her sister.
Married To The Devils Son.
Chapter 25: Chapter 25 1
I stood there and watched while Lucian examined Klara’s arm. I was sure she did it on purpose.
“I am all right.” She said blinking with her long lashes, something I noticed she does often in Lucian’s presence.
“Are you sure.” He asked looking at her wound again. He probably felt guilty, but she was the one that wanted to fight and she was doing all this on purpose. She was doing it to get close to him.
Why do I always have to fight for him? I was tired of it.
Not wanting to see any of it anymore, I decided to leave.
I was hurt, angry, tired. Should I have stayed with my parents? Did I make a mistake by coming here with Lucian? Tears filled my eyes and not wanting anyone to see me cry, I walked faster through the halls.
When I got around the corner I bumped into someone and stumbled backwards.
“I am sorry, My Lady, I didn’t see you coming.” Oliver said, startled.
“It’s all right” I said, trying to walk past him as I didn’t want him to notice that I was crying. But he did.
“Are you all right, My Lady?” He asked concerned.
“Yes, I am fine.” I tried to smile.
“Just tell me and I will kill whoever made you cry.” He said. I looked up to see if he was joking but he wasn’t which suddenly made me want to laugh.
“It’s no one you can kill.” I said.
“Is it the king? His sisters?” I shook my head. He seemed to think about who it could be. I could see he was taking this seriously.
“Why don’t you just take me outside the castle?” I suggested. His eyes widened.
“It’s not safe, My Lady.”
“But you are with me.” I said.
“I would if we were back home, but there are crazy people in this kingdom. It’s not safe outside the castle.” He said apologetically.
“Please, no one has to know.” I said. I really needed to get out and do something to make me forget about everything. He sighed after thinking for a while.
“All right, but we won’t go far.” he said. I gave him a big smile.
“So you won’t tell me who made you cry?”
“No.” I shook my head as we walked not far away from the castle.
“Are you married?” I asked him.
“Yes, My Lady.”
“Do you love your wife?” I didn’t want to be prying or make him feel uncomfortable, but I couldn’t help but ask.
“Very much, My Lady.”
“Would you be with another woman beside her?”
“No, My Lady.” He then went silent for a while before saying,
“His Highness cares for you a lot. I have never seen him care so much about anyone.”
I guess he put the pieces together.
“We shouldn’t go any further. I have no weapons to protect you.” Just as he finished his sentence four men appeared from behind the trees holding swords in their hands. It was as if they have been waiting there for us. Oliver placed himself in front of me immediately.
“Run!” he said. I didn’t know who these people were, but I could see they were dangerous. I couldn’t leave Oliver here, but when he yelled “Run!” louder this time I started running.
