Her sweat dripped down on the floor as she clutched her sheet, the sound of swords clashing was heard outside her room, and men screaming in pain.
Their footsteps approach her room, he is there. To punish her, for her involvement in his wife's death.
He is here for her, to kill her. The man that hates her probably as much as he hates Simon.
Lucien.
If he kills her now, then she will never get the chance to avenge her father's death. Everything she has planned and wants will never come to pass because he will kill her.
Her door opened and so he entered with a man beside him, they were dressed in black and the swords were stained with the previous victim's blood.
The men were meant to protect them until she entered the palace which was tomorrow. Tonight she will get killed and join her father.
He moved closer to her, while she gulped the thump in her throat.
She could feel her heart beating faster than usual, afraid of tonight.
