Chapter 22

At the study room....

Lucas who entered inside the study room without knocking," You! Why did you do that?" in an angry tone.

The former emperor who was sitting in his seat while sipping coffee slowly raises his eyes and looks at Lucas," Hoo! You seem to be angry for some reason, When you said why did you do that? What do you mean by it?"

Lucas who was very angry gets closer to the Former Emperor desk," You know well What I mean? Don't play dumb, And You got your own Palace, What are you doing here?"

Former emperor gets up from his seat and looks at Lucas with amusing look in his eyes," What a cruel thing to say to your grandfather? Aren't I am your grandfather? Who wants to spend time with his grandsons."

"Stop acting! Please! That's not the look one's give when they feel bad. Moreover, You got other son and grand children's too."

"I see them every day that's why I came here and Do you think I pushed her in that dark room, Where light were never there from the start?"

" Yeah! Because you always keep pushing me and Leon in that room as a punishment."

Former emperor who was looking at Lucas make a cold look in his eyes," I used to push you both because you weren't scared of that place or dark."

Former Emperor turns his face towards the window," Lucas do you know what is that room? Did you ever use a light there and checked out?"

Lucas who looks at the former emperor with a confused look, "No, I never used a light there or tried to see since I always found it boring just by looking at it from outside."

"I see! That room was given to Lady Rose when she used to live here. Indeed, Fena was pushed by someone but not on my order but Edward."

"Grand duke? What are you saying? Why would he do that to his own granddaughter?"

'No, It can be possible after all its grand duke. He doesn't seem to care about Fena feelings. The way he treats her clearly shows he brought her for his own use.'

Former Emperor who was talking starts to laugh suddenly, " Are you surprised? Why would he do that? I will let you know since you seem to be a lot concerned when it comes to her. Edward wanted to test out if she is still scared of dark."

"Grandpa! Do you and the Grand Duke knows something that's concern everyone around Fena? Because the way you and Grand Duke started to behave after finding Fena, Is way too suspicious? I won't look into it, But I won't let it slide too, If you tried to do something again."

Lucas leaves after having the conversation with the former emperor.

"Hmm! My Grandson sure started to change before he never expresses his feelings."

"It's that dream again, A man stands in front of a little girl. He throws vulgar words at her then later he uses whip on her. The little girl continuously cries and ask for forgiveness to the man, But the man never stops beating that little girl, I always stand in a distance and watches her.

As always the little girl reach out her hand to me but when I try to hold her that man drags her away, And I'm also dragged away by someone's hand, But I can't see that someone since his figure is always in dark and this is where dream ends, And I open up my eyes.

Fena who was having nightmare didn't know that Lucas who entered the room was watching her and sits beside her," Are you having nightmare? What kind of nightmare are you having to make you cry in sleep?"

Fena who opens her eyes suddenly, sits up in the bed with all her hair dishevelled without noticing that she was holding the hand of Lucas so tightly.

Lucas looks at Fena with a worried look, "Are you okay? Relax for a while, Here is nothing and lights are on, I am here too so don't worry."

I just realized what I was doing after hearing Lucas voice, I let go of Lucas hand," I'm sorry, I didn't notice when did I hold your hand so tightly. It's all red, And must be hurting a lot."

Lucas start laughing at Fena words," You! What do you think I am? A girl or what? Hurt by you? I am hearing for the first time from someone this, Ha, ha, ha, I can't stop laughing."

I was surprised at Lucas reaction because it was the first time he laughed," Your laugh is cute, You look cute when you laugh like this." Fena gets closer to Lucas face while talking.

Lucas pushes Fena away," Idiot, Who calls a boy cute? Have some sense, Cute word isn't used for boys. If we were to talk about cute that is-"

[I like hearing praise about myself (Lady Rose)]

[I like hearing praise about myself (Fena)]

"That is? That is? That is?" Fena who excitedly asks Lucas because she knew what Lucas mean?"

"Shut up! No, one is uglier than you." Lucas says while turning his back on Fena.

Before I could say anything Lucas grabbed my hand and asked to come for dinner.

"Is it already night?" Fena who is shocked

Yeah, It's already night! You were asleep the whole time and my mom asked not to bother you."

Fena who start pulling her hair in regret," I spend whole time in sleeping even though duchess asked me to spend with her. I need to go and talk with her."

Fena who was about to run while sliding down from bed, Lucas pulls her back," Don't worry, She doesn't mind it because she said there will be more chances to spend time together."

"Then what am I supposed to do now?" Fena asks Lucas while lowering her head.

"Have dinner and spend the night here, That's what mom said to do. So don't go on feeling down."

Lucas who starts walking in corridor while Fena following him," Say, What's for the dinner? Something spicy?"

Lucas who stops and looks at Fena," It's chicken you like it right. Leg pieces were made separately keeping your taste in mind."

"He, he, seems today dinner will be delicious. I can't wait to taste it." Fena smiles purely with a cute dimple.

Lucas who looks at Fena smiles, For a second gets lost until Fena calls out to him," What happened? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Don't smile like that in front of others, And If you are going to ask why then let me tell you, You look ugly when you smile like that."

"How mean? Do you really have to say it like this? Can't you say nicer things sometimes."

"You want me to say fake nice things to you? Then I can do a lot."

"Shut up! I'm leaving you behind."

Lucas who was left behind by Fena regrets his words," Why do I end up saying mean things to her? Whenever she gives that silly expression on, I kind of wants to be mean to her."

Lucas who reaches the dinning Hall sees Max there," How in the world did you end up here?"

Max, Who was roaming around carefree comes closer to Max," Because I was invited by grandpa. Isn't it nice see me? By the way you didn't tell me that Fena is here also?

Stop talking you all and get to your seats. Everyone starts to eat, Except Lucas who was staring at Max and Fena sitting together.

'Why did it end up like this? Didn't Max likes to sit far away from her?'

The dinner ended, And every one went to sleep leaving the three of them in the hall.

"I'm going too, good night Max and Lucas."

Max and Lucas who were left behind by Fena turns their back on each other and went to opposite sides room.

At Morning dukes comes and gets Fena for preparing to leave....

Two days in a blink passes away and finally the day of departing comes...

All the four kids gather with Grand duke and Former emperor. They bid their farewells to their families members. On the other hand Fena was simply looking at them and starts to leave for carriage.

Days and weeks passed they finally reached their destination at the border.

Fena whose mouth left opened after witnessing the cruelty of Border and the monsters which were on rampaging.

" What the hell old man? You never said anything about monsters? Why are you doing this? You are telling me to do this first thing after reaching here."

The duke smacks Fena on her head, "Don't whine start preparing for fighting, Go and change your clothes."

Fena who was crying tears of blood, smacks her head, Here to there in hope if this is dream? While others started to change and engage in fight.

Lucas sees Fena and stops her from smashing her head," Stop it! This is reality face it. Don't go on doing suicide."

"Accept it, And start preparing already Fena, I did expect this reaction from you", Max says while laughing at Fena.

Fena changes her clothes and prepares herself as she joins them. The duke calls out the fifth member of their squad, And it was none other than sena," Hello! Fena, We meet again. It's just like fate keep us meeting again and again."

Max who was standing behind sena makes a freak-out expression on his face," It's not fate that making you keep meeting Fena but you yourself is stalking her. How much of a freak are you?"

"Shut up! You insect prince! I don't want to hear anything from you. Stay away from me, Don't come near me even in an inch."

Max once again on the verge of disappearing after getting the hate from sena at once.

All of them gets ready and starts fighting monsters as a team having Max as the captain.
