Chapitre 36: Chapter 36

Death doesn't knock on the door and waits to get invited. It usually comes unexpected and without permission takes what it came for.

I quickly placed myself in front of Lucian as if I could protect him from what was about to happen, but to my surprise nor did death knock on the door nor did it come. Instead several of Lucians men almost threw themselves in front of our feet.

"Your Highness, we apologize for our rudeness but please help us. The crown prince has taken our families as hostages." One of them said. I looked worriedly at Lucian but he was calm as usual.

"Your Highness, I beg of you to let us go and save our families." another one pleaded.

Lincoln came into the room looking furious.

"What are you doing?" He yelled at the men. "Get up on your feet and apologize to his highness if you care to live."

"It's alright Lincoln." Lucian said calmly. "You may leave to save your families," he told the men.
