A shiver went down my spine. The way he said it and the look in his eyes told me he was serious.
"Why are you shocked? If I can beat you and kill you then why not burn you?"
My throat went dry and I couldn't bring myself to say something. Sighing, he stood up and left without a word.
I didn't see him for the rest of the day. He didn't e for breakfast or lunch and when it was time for dinner I asked one of the guards where he was.
"His Highness went on a business journey, he won't return until tomorrow," He explained.
Even if he was angry, he should have told me. Yet another night I slept alone, but instead of feeling relieved, I felt lonely.
When I woke up in the morning the first thing that came to my mind was Lucian. Was he still on his journey or had he already arrived?
"Has his highness e yet?" I asked the maid while she bed my hair.
"No your highness" I sighed in disappointment. What if he was still angry and decided not to e?
A knock on the door made me jump out of my chair. Lucian!! Maybe a maid has e to inform his arrival but no one opened the door. Strange.
"e in," I said and the door opened.
"Who are you?" I heard the maid ask. I turned my head and gasped.
"Lydia!! Ylva!!" I yelled running and hugging them like a little girl
"My lady please you shouldn't hug us" Ylva pleaded but I Ignored her.
"What are you doing here? How did you get here?"
"His highness brought us here," Lydia said. Lucian did? "He seems to really care for you" Suddenly I felt bad for fighting with him.
"But it's not allowed. How did father allow that?" I asked confused.
"We really don't know my lady." I wondered what Lucian did to make father let him take his maids. It's something that is never allowed. Anyways I was very happy that I wasn't alone anymore. Dismissing my maid I sat with Lydia and Ylva and told them everything that happened since I came here.
"So you are still a virgin?" Ylva asked shocked. "He must be a nice man if he agreed to wait." He is, sometimes. I didn't tell them about the part where he said he would burn me. I was still confused about what he meant by that.
When it was time for lunch I went to the dining room expecting Lucian to be waiting there but he wasn't. Was he avoiding me? I just lost my appetite.
"Where is his highness?" I asked a guard feeling like a desperate wife asking for her husband all the time.
"His highness is in his study and don't want to be disturbed." Ignoring him I went to the study. I opened the door and walked in without knocking. Nobody was inside as I walked in and looked around. My eyes landed on a letter on his desk. Out of curiosity, I opened it but there were only a few words written on it.
'Watch your back. Death is ing.'
