Chapter Four

Lucian's pov;

As we drove off heading to my kingdom, I just felt like talking to her, but I didn't know what to start with and also I can sense that she's actually afraid of me.

She then broke the silence. "Your highness..."

"Just call me Lucian," I cut her still eyeing on the road.

"Lucian do you have any other wife? " She asked. I was really taken back by that question, I mean I have got ten concubines, but never got a wife to satisfy me.

"No, " I answered truthfully.

It seems like she was realived by my answer but wait until she knows shes not the only woman who will be in the same bed as I.

"But I have many mistresses, " I said a smirk tracing along my rosy lips.

She just glared at me, it seems like she wanted to swallow me alive.

"You don't seem to like that, Hazel, " I said.

Then she looked surprised just because I know her name and she didn't know mine.

Yeah, my father did his own research on her and her family and I got to learn she's kind of a loner well just like me and friendly, but her freedom was really limited, well being the only princess in the kingdom, but the past of all she's a virgin!

***

We then arrived to my kingdom. I helped her out of the carriage. Her gown was very long now she had to keep carrying it above her red Stilletos.

As we walk past the palace garden, my big brother who is the crowned prince came towards us. He was on his horse and dressed in his training attire. His other faithful guards were right besides him.

He then got off and walked towards us making us to stop.

Earlier he had insisted on accompanying me to my wedding, but I refused knowing that he was just going to bring trouble and spoil everything.

"Brother, how nice to see you, " He said.

I did react, I was trying the best to avoid that jerk.

"Why don't we go and celebrate, you and your newly wife, " He said then gazed at Hazel in a lustful way, to say the truth my Hazel, of course I own her now, she's really beautiful I can't even compare her and the concubines.

But I hate the way he looked at her, so I walked close to him and stared at him into his green blue eyes, the soldiers of Pierre held their swords ready to attack as if they could even touch a strand of my hair, and on the other side, my men were also ready.

"I think we're fine Pierre, so back off, " I state before a blood bath would occur. But I couldn't allow it not today when mine is here with me, I wouldn't let Pierre get on my nerve.

I then grabbed Hazel's hand and pulled her into to the castle.

Hazel's pov;

After knowing his name I felt happy. But I still wanted to know more about him. So I had to push on with the question. I really wanted to know if I was the only one, or should I get prepared for fighting for Lucian's love? No of course I didn't want that it's the worse and neither did I want a relationship like my parent's, acting like strangers just because they are royals.

"Lucian, do you have another wife? " I asked curiously and I had crossed the fingers of my left hand and hid it under my veil so he couldn't see it.

"No, " He answered then looked at me with those golden irises.

Phew! I felt relieved, but just because he didn't have one right now, he might soon or later.

"But I have many mistresses, " He said smiling at me.

I suddenly glared at him, not being happy, so I'm married by a womanizer!

"You don't seem to like that Hazel, " He then told me.

How did he even know my name...of course men got more information about their spouses but women didn't, it's so unfair.

I really didn't like that but I had to put up with it, since he was a prince and he could be with anyone that he wanted, in fact that is what gives them power to rule.

Then we reached to his home. His palace was big and beautiful. The garden was what really caught my attention. It was just like ours at home, but more beautiful. I recognized the daisies, roses...

Then suddenly a man came with guards behind him, I guess he was also a prince.

He got down from his horse and walked towards us.

"Brother, how nice to see you, " He said.

What! He was Lucian's brother! But they don't even look alike! I mean Lucian is way more handsome.

"Why don't we go and celebrate, you and your newly wife, " He said gazing at me.

Lucian went closer and stared at him directly in his eyes, the soldiers of the other prince, held their swords ready to attack, so did Lucian's soldiers.

"I think we're fine, Pierre, " He told him in a low tone.

I didn't think so because his eyes and his clenched fist said something different. He then looked away, and grabbed my wrist pulling me up the stairs of the castle, I then got confused, if they were brothers why did he react that way... I guess I'm not the only one with sibling's issues.

"Aren't we going to visit your parents? " I asked trying to catch up with his pace.

"My mom is dead, " He said without showing an emotion. "And the king, well he doesn't matter, " He added.

Then he stopped pulling me and he held my hand. Then a maidservant appeared and told him that she wanted to show me my room, he didn't want to let go of my hand but he slowly let go. I then followed her. We reached to a white door she opened it revealing a luxurious bedroom. The bed was humongous compared to my princess bed back at home. The carpet was clean and smelles nice to, and so did the room. There was the mirror, it's frame was made of pure gold.

The maids prepared a warm bath for me in the bath tub. I had a bath and got into my nightdress and wored my robe. Then one of the maids prepared a cup of tea and gave it to me.

"What is this for? " I asked because I noticed it wasn't the regular tea because of its auroma.

"It's going to help you from the pain, " She answered.

"What pain? " I asked, but then I realized what she was talking about. She was saying about the wedding consummation, I was really nervous, but still I didn't like the tea.

"I don't want it, " I said giving it to her.

She then took it and they left me alone in the room and I sat at the mirror staring at my reflection.

After a while, Lucian got in. I then stood and stared at him. He looked away and headed to the bed, he took off his attire and remained with only his inner wear and then he put on his sleeping clothes.

Wait did he just undress right in front of me!

I couldn't take it, I quickly covered my eyes with my hands, I have never seen a naked man ever in my life. His body was really attractive but I couldn't continue staring.

"Why hide your face? " He asked.

"You're undressing, " I answered innocently.

He just chuckled.

"Maybe you should just use the dressing room, for privacy, " I told him.

"You're mine now, there's no point of hiding, I can strip in front of you whenever I want, " He answered.

How dare he say that, but I will not even allow him to stare at my bare back!

"You can look now, " He said after getting in the bed. I slowly opened my eyes and found him sitting there on the other side. He then opened the duvets and gestured first me to join him.

I couldn't believe I will be sleeping with a dude in the same bed, my husband actually! I guess I have to get used to that.

I just found myself walking to the bed and got in. But I sat at the far end of the bed to make sure he doesn't touch me.

"Aren't you tired? " He asked.

I was confused, because I thought he would want us to have sex...but of course he was too tired because of the journey.

"I am... Your highness.... Ah! Lucian, " I corrected myself. He then just sniled, the layed down and covered himself, I also did the same, then we both slept.

Writer's pov;

Hazel was sleeping at the far end of the bed, looking the other way. Lucian wasn't asleep, and he pitted her.
