Chapter 14


    Lucian gazed down at Hazel as she blushed, and he couldn''t help but bring his hand up and caress her


    pink cheek with his thumb. Heavens knew how much he wanted to lean down and kiss her. She was


    tempting him with this red dress and her bare neck and shoulders. He had been surprised and relieved


    that he hadn''t forced himself on herst night when his demon was in control. Seems that his demon


    craves Hazel as much as he does the only difference is that his demon doesn''t care about Hazel''s


    feelings while Lucian does.


    "Are you alright? I heard that the king is unwell" she asked worried. He had almost forgotten the big


    problem he had to deal with when he saw her.


    "Hazel, I want you to pack some clothes, we will leave the castle". He didn''t want for Hazel to stay


    another minute here. The king could die anytime and he knew that he would be the one to be attacked


    first, since his brothers hated him. Hazel looked confused at him "I will exin everything on the way"


    he said "now hurry!".


    Once Hazel left Lincoln approached him "Your highness the horses are ready".


    "Did oliver get information on what by brother''s n to do?" Lucian asked.

    "Yes, your highness. The crown prince is nning on attacking you first once the king dies and he has


    already pinned your brothers against each other, so that they kill each other and his job bes


    easier,". That sounded just like Pierre. Lucian had already expected that from his brother.


    "What did he tell them?"


    "That I don''t know your highness. But your brothers have already begun to travel to gather their allies to


    help them get the crown. You should do that as well." That would be the difficult part since not many


    would want to be his allies and help him because of the rumors about him.

    As if Lincoln read his thoughts he said "We should start with Maebeth kingdom." His wife''s kingdom


    was a small kingdom that didn''t have much power. Even if they agreed to help him, it wouldn''t be that


    much of a help.


    Lydia packed a few clothes for me while Ylva helped me get dressed into morefortable clothes.


    Both were worried when I told them about the situation. Just to calm them down "everything is going to


    be alright" I said even though I myself wasn''t sure about that.


    I walked out to the garden where Lucian seemed to be busy speaking to some soldiers. I just stood


    there staring at him. I have never seen him speak much before. He was a man of few words. Until now


    we never had a conversation thatsted long, and I really wanted our marriage to work.


    "Mydy" looking to my side, I found a smiling Oliver approaching me. Something about him was


    different. He didn''t look like the usually tough and silent soldier, he looked rather innocent and yful


    even though he was tall and looked strong.


    "Do you prefer a white or a ck horse?" he asked. Did he expect me to ride myself? I knew that most


    princesses know how to ride, it was something a royalty should know but my father never even let me


    out let alone learn something. I was more a prisoner than a princess back home.


    "She will ride with me" Lucian said suddenly, standing next to me and taking my hand in his. Oliver


    smiled, a smile that reached his eyes. What was he so happy about?


    "Fine" he said shrugging his shoulders.


    I ced my arms around Lucians waist as we rode off. "Hold on tight, we will ride fast" he had told me,


    but I didn''t expect it would be this fast. Even though I thought this was too fast, many soldiers were


    riding faster than us, slowing down now and then for Lucian to catch up. That''s when I realized he was


    actually riding slowpared to how fast he usually rides.


    "You don''t have to slow down because of me," I said, "I am fine."


    He chuckled, "are you sure?"


    "Yes" I replied.


    "Fine, then" he said in a challenging way and suddenly it felt as if I was flying away. The air whipping


    my face and hair and I got really scared, holding onto Lucian even more. My grip was so hard around


    his waist I wondered if he could breathe, but he wasn''tining. Trees, houses, cliffs andkes


    were passing by quickly before my eyes and I felt dizzy and sick. I tried to close my eyes and ignore


    the dizziness and the urge to vomit, but I couldn''t fight it for long.


    "Please stop" I whispered clutching onto Lucian wondering if he even heard what I said.


    Abruptly he stopped, " are you alright?" he asked. I climbed down from the horse fast without any help


    and ran to the nearest tree, throwing up everything in my stomach. Lucian was already beside me and


    held my hair away. "Don''t.." I began before throwing up again. I didn''t want him to see me like this.


    "It''s alright" he said, massaging my back with one hand as he still held my hair with the other. I was so


    embarrassed when I turned around and found that all the soldiers stood there looking at me.


    Lucian gave me a handkerchief as one of the guards handed him a bottle of water, which he gave to


    me as well. "Drink" he said as I wiped my mouth still embarrassed "you should have told me to slow


    down."


    I took sips of the water while Lucian watched me intently, as if I would copse anytime.


    "I''m fine, let''s continue " I smiled. I didn''t want the journey to take longer than usual because of me.
