--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Castle, The King's Quarters-
After Katherine finished cleaning the blood from Lucian's wounds, she had carefully helped him lay in bed.
As powerful and strong as Lucian was, this reminded her that he was not invincible. He felt pain and despite his high tolerance for pain and the fact that he could heal, he was not immune to pain.
Lucian closed his eyes tightly as Katherine removed her arms from him and placed them directly on the bed. The bedsheets most likely were already quickly stained with traces of blood.
Lucian needed to rest, that was the only thing that would help him heal quicker without constantly drawing blood from Katherine.
"Shall I light the candles?" Katherine asked, seeing as the sky was getting dark rather quickly on that particular evening.
The only source of light that illuminated the room was the fireplace at the far end of the bedroom.
