After Lucas finished introducing his most trusted men to Catherine, he turned to look at her with his dark black eyes that were shimmering like the night sky.
See you tonight wife. Lucas said and Catherine nodded and turned to leave. Once she was gone,
Lucas soft eyes that he showed only to Catherine abruptly became deadly dangerous as he stared at his men.
Who has the crown prince invited? He asked with a menacing tone.
Some of the ministers. Mason replied head bow.
Why has he invited them? Lucas asked coldly, even though his men couldn't see his face, they could feel the threatening bloodlust oozing out of him that suddenly enclose the garden.
The crown prince is planning to use the ministers soldiers to start a war with you and they are planning on attacking you tomorrow night when you are... Mason paused. ....in a human form. He completed his words.
Lucas wasn't surprised at all. Even the stupid king has pulled that tactics. But the only difference now is, he is married and he needs to protect his wife from every angle of danger.
Get everyone ready, we will be leaving the castle tonight. Lucas commanded with a serious tone and his guards bowed their heads and left. Once his guards left to prepare for tonight's journey, Lucas took in a deep few breaths before leaving the garden.
Inside the castle,
Catherine was walking on the hallway when she saw Prince Levi.
Greetings my lady. Prince Levi greeted.
Your highness. Catherine greeted head bow.
It's a pleasure to see you again. Levi greeted and slowly took her hands in his about to kiss it, but Catherine took her hands away from his.
She suddenly felt nervous.
I have to go now. Catherine smiled meekly before turning away to walk away when Levi spoke.
"Have you seen your husband face?"
Catherine stopped on her tracks.
Why did he ask her such questions? She thought and slowly turned to look at him.
If I may ask,why do you ask? Catherine asked instead of answering his own question.
No reason, if my sudden question offended you, my apologies. Levi said with a smile ,his green eyes twinkling like Stars.
It's okay your highness. Catherine said softly and was about to leave. Again,
"Are you in haste my lady?" Levi asked with a raised brow. Even though, Catherine had a calm face he could sense her fear and nervousness.
Catherine stopped again and stared at his green eyes that was piercing into hers.
I am not. She said.
Well, if you don't mind, can I have a few words with you? He asked with a smile that was a bit disturbed to Catherine.
For some unknown reason, she find his smile to be filled with malicious scheming and mischief. But she shrug it off.
It's fine your highness. Catherine replied slowly.
That's good. He muttered under his breath.
Follow me. He said and Catherine slowly but carefully followed behind him until they reached the castle tower.
On reaching the castle tower, he pushed the window open allowing the strong wind to blow in.
Do you know why I brought you here? He asked his gaze facing the sky.
For some weird reasons, he reminded her of herself when she used to stand in the castle tower looking outside at the beautiful sky, but the sky wasn't beautiful especially when she was with this strange man. Ever since he has been taunting her husband, she has suddenly became extremely wary of him. His words and his actions; they are just not something she couldn't be able to explain. She took in a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
To have some words with me. She replied carefully.
Levi who was still staring out the window took in a deep breath before exhaling. As he was staring out the window, his green eyes suddenly changed to something unexpected and strange. The color of his eyes turned from green to vivid red. Who would have thought the crown prince was a vampire under the disguise of a human.
His vivid red eyes kept staring at sky until he closed his eyes and it returned back to it's green eyes color.
He turned to look at the princess. I will tell you some other time. He said and slowly walked away leaving Catherine alone in the tower.
Catherine was speechless as she never expected this turn of events.
She sigh heavily and went back to her chamber. She slowly opened the door only for her to hear,
"Where were you?"
His deep and masculine voice resonated through her ear that sent shivers down her spine.
I was with the crown prince. She replied honestly.
Lucas clenched his jaw, his eyes shown displeasure at the fact that she was with another man. Of course, how will she be with a man that never shows his face to her except his eyes. What does he expect from her. He thought.
Why were you with him? He asked in a calm tone but behind those voice was an undercurrent restraint anger which he was still trying to dissolve.
Catherine walked in slowly and closed the door behind her and went to sit on the couch.
Before I answer your question, tell me why I can't walk alone in the night? And what do you mean by "especially when I am human"? She asked with a serious tone.
Lucas couldn't help but smirk.
Even though his wife fear him a lot, he couldn't help with the way she talks and ask him questions courageously; he loves her confidence and wished to see more part of it.
Hmm. He hummed before standing up and went seat next to Catherine on the couch. The moment he sat down, Catherine shifted two inches away from him.
Lucas became displeased at what she did and he closed his eyes to calm himself before opening them back.
Fine then, I will tell you,but first will you be able to handle the truth if I tell you? He asked with a scrutinized gaze.
Catherine stared at him and gulped softly. What does he mean by that? She thought and decided not to waver. Whatever the truth is, she will handle it since she is now a member of the Royal family.
