"Enough Lucius" the king said "I can't let you kill Felipe but as I'm exchange I will make you the crown prince and banish Felipe from the land" he declare and shut his eyes tightly "I rip crown prince Felipe off his title" hearing this Lucius smile in satisfaction and roll off the queen "your majesty you just can't" prince Dexter said "yes we can his wife is the victim around here this is the least I could do for him rather than have Felipe killed, Lucius stood up and look at king William "are you really sure about making this demon the crown prince" he smirk "yes" king William reply shortly with his eyes close "but I will still have to punish Felipe I need to teach him a lesson to respect every woman's privacy even though he put my wife life at risk"
King William inhale sharply "yes you can punish expect from death" hearing this Lucius inhale sharply and turn his back he them order his guards to take Felipe away and lock him up before he also leave the throne room "your majesty what are you thinking" queen Monica whisper "don't worry my queen I already have a plan if he can't be kill then he can be burn" king William lip curve up in a deadly smirk.

Lucius wanted to follow his guard but then he recall what Evelyn said before she fell asleep he must sleep with her tonight if he did not want to hurt her again "lock him up and make sure he did not escape" he said to his trusted guards Simon "okay your highness..... But your highness I don't really think his Majesty will really make you the crown prince I....."
"You thought it was a trap?" He cuts in before Simon could complete his statement "ye..... Your highness" he responded barely in a whisper "your hunch was right Simon it was indeed a trap I already have a plan that doesn't matter now I have to take care of my wife". When Lucius finally reach the room Evelyn was already asleep he sigh in relieve and stroke her hair gently pushing some strand of her hair off her face "I won't let the person who did this to you go Scot free" he mumbles to himself before he lay beside her and close his eyes to sleep.
Next morning Evelyn woke up and see Lucius sleeping beside her it seems so unusual she has been sleeping alone for couple of days finding him beside him seems weird is it because if what happened to her? She sliently get off the bed and take a shower she wash herself thoroughly and her hair till she was satisfy after bathing she wrap herself with towel she felt so hungry she didn't have to chance to eat dinner but the bruises on her face still reflect remembering the scene that happened between her and the crown prince disgust her more that she felt like throwing up but who is that man that save me her heart accelerate at the thought when she remember his terrifying eyes thinking he look lot more than Lucius she shake her head that monster can't be Lucius never. After the whole thought she went back to the bedroom and studied Lucius sleepy face for a while she didn't know but her mind kept telling her that her husband was the one who saved her but how can her husband be that terrifying she has never seen anyone like him before dark hair, sharp and long nails that look like a lion claws, dark eyes, the man who came to save her look like a devil but her husband has none of those features somehow she found herself looking at his fingernails it was not sharp and his hair were no longer dark she stroke his white hair gently when Lucius open his eyes slowly and she felt her heart jumped even his eyes were grey maybe she is wrong about him anyway "are you alright?" Lucius ask putting his right hand on her forehead "am okay your highness" Lucius inhale sharply seems like he was tired of correcting her he cup her cheek in his arms "I am sorry I came late" he said apologetically 'wait! Came late?' "where did you find me" she ask out of curiosity Lucius blink at her it good that she can't even remember "a stranger handed you over to me why did you go out of the castle in the first place I promised to take you out you could have just ask me to follow you" oh yes that reminded Evelyn that she has been so mad at him "how could I ask you when you are so busy with Alexa" Lucius look at her surprised though he didn't expect her to say that so that's means that she has been so jealous "my mum was right a prince can't love you, you should have just tell me that you were in love with your mistress you can't just raise my hope and let me down" she inhale "maybe I was not enough you can take back all your mistress if that will make you satisfy I didn't allow you to touch my body in first place" Lucius felt a tug in his chest 'that wasn't it' he felt like telling her the truth telling her who he really was he sat up on the bed and reach out for her hand "Evelyn the truth is I...." He wanted to speak out but his throat seems choke nothing came out Evelyn look up to his eyes and look away looking disappointed "am hungry I didn't eat dinner" her stomach growl shortly after she said that perfect excuse "humm sit here I will bring you something to eat you can't go out yet" he said and stand up to leave Evelyn look at him with intense curiosity 'what did he mean by that did he know that his brother is the one that kidnap her?
