There was a clashing of swords, as Lucas as clash his sword on Levi.
Levi sword fell off his hand with full force that had him tumbling backwards.
YOU! He growled angrily as his green eyes turned vivid red.
Lucas also knew his brother so well, his brother was testing him, he wanted to Lucas to use his monstrous nature to attack him but Lucas twice smarter than him.
I won't spare you, I will make sure i kill you and hang your head at the gates of the kingdom for people to see. He growled angrily his red eyes burning brighter and deeper in fury.
You can try. Lucas smiled evilly cracking his sword on the ground creating sparks. He slowly raised the sword and placed the tip on Levi's neck making it slid as blood trickle from that little cut.
Levi's anger rose up to the highest peak as he suddenly yanked the sword from Lucas hand. He took the sword and stabbed it right in Lucas abdomen.
While he pulled it out expecting to see blood but to utter disbelief, nothing came out. His red eyes widened in horror as he gazed at Lucas. Who the hell is this man? Could he truly be a daylight monster? He thought and staggered backwards.
Tch, you can keep trying. He mocked coldly before walking away leaving Levi bewildered with what just happened.
There is something strange about Lucas, his eyes never turned red like a vampire and neither did he flinch from the fast reflex attack, what could he be?
"Your highness" , the royal guard came head bow.
What is it? Levi asked coldly as he was still pissed that he couldn't hurt that monster that calls himself Lucas. He hates him so much he will do everything in his power to get him killed.
The youngest prince is planning on escaping the castle tonight. The royal guard informed.
Levi wasn't as shock as the royal guard as expected him to be. So the moron was actually testing him and he is planning on escaping? Levi scoffed.
Fix guards every where and make sure no one leaves the castle tonight including the youngest prince. Say it's an order from the crown prince. He ordered the royal guard.
Yes your highness. The royal guard bowed his head before leaving to do the work that was assigned to him.
"I really wanted to fight you tomorrow night, but it seems like it will be tonight". He mumbled under his breath before entering back into the castle.
Inside the queen's mother chamber,
Queen Tira was sitting on the stool while resting her head on her mother in law's lap.
I can't believe I finally have my own daughter in law. She said with a smile. Her brown eyes sparked.
It's okay dear, atleast your son is married, there will be someone that will stand by him and not make him feel lonely. The queen mother said smiling.
I know right, it's just a matter of time before Lucas revealed his face to his wife and the thought of her hating him worries me a lot. Queen Tira said worriedly.
When there is power in true love, she won't hate him. The queen mother said smiling and Tira raised up her head to look at the queen mother.
She has known her mother in law to be a smart and peculiar person. Her words were like flowing honey ; when be said, it does come to pass. She used to wonder what her mother in law is for her to say this or what she has gone through to become this wise.
What do you mean by that queen mother? Tira asked surprised and awed with a hint of curiosity.
I won't tell you for now, but let's just go with the flow. The right time for anything to be revealed will have to wait.
"Even if takes hundred years"? Tira asked and both of them laughed heartedly.
Even if it takes ten centuries. The right time for it to be revealed will happen. The queen mother said.
Queen Tira stood up.
I will be heading back to my chamber. She said bowing slightly before leaving. Once Queen Tira left, the smile on the Queen mother face fell as it turned to the one of a blank look. Her happy eyes suddenly became dead as though she has been broken for years only masking it up with a smile.
She stood up from her bed and went to the window to open it for soft breeze to blow in.
A tear fell each from both her eyes. She felt sad as more tears kept rolling down her cheeks. Just as she was about to clean her tears, her eyes fell on the men preparing horses and swords.
What's going on? She thought and her feet made it's way to the door and she left the room to go to the garden to see what's going on.
Meanwhile, Catherine who was laying on the bed lost in thoughts was jolted out with his deep and husky voice.
"Missing me ?" He asked and Catherine hastily stood up.
When did you come in your high- Lucas? She asked surprised.
Just now. He replied slowly taking off his mask revealing his handsome features. His dark black eyes that had a hint of grey was staring at her with pleasantry.
Do you miss me my wife? He asked this time Catherine could see the mischievous smirk on his face without the mask.
She gulped hard as she felt her heart beat racing faster. Did she hear right or did he just call her ,'my wife'?
Her cheeks flushed slightly and she slowly sit up.
She stared at him for a while before parting her lips to talk, and what she said next rendered him utterly speechless.
"When you answer my three questions, i will give an answer to your question".
Oh God !!! Did she just make a bargain with him? This woman, his fearful stubborn and smart wife, will one day be his end.
What a smart move wife! I see you love playing round the fire. He smirked sexily as his eyes gleamed dangerously.
It's not a smart move. I was only stating facts. She said innocently and Lucas couldn't help but smirk inwardly.
Well if that's what you want wife, your chances of getting your answers are fast approaching... he said and Catherine gave him a confused look.
And she asked, what do you mean?
We are leaving the castle now. He said and this time it was Catherine's turn to be rendered speechless.
