Chapter 18

Lucius kept dragging her away without saying a word "hey where are we going" Evelyn ask but Lucius didn't respond sooner they reach their doorpost where four soldiers were already there making Evelyn curious "who are they" Evelyn asked Lucius inhale and stood right in front of the men noticing their presence they stand straight "meet my most trusted men but they are my friends too" he said with a bright smile on his face Evelyn haven't seen him with such a smile he seems to love them so much "your highness we already told you to stop calling us your friend we are just your guards" one of the men with short reddish blonde hair and blue eyes responded he looks so young Maybe twenty or twenty five he looks like Lucius age mate "well meet my wife her name is Evelyn"

"Your highness" they all bow "am Chad" the man with reddish blonde hair introduces himself Evelyn was about to speed when Alexa approached sighting Alexa Lucius dismiss the soldiers he didn't let her finish the introduction Evelyn smug seeing her 'now what does she want' she scoffs inwardly "I heard you are now the crown prince," she said faintly "yeah" Lucius reply with bright smile Evelyn puff her cheek she felt her heart squeeze now they aren't hiding it anymore truly she will eventually be the capture lonely princess "can you come with me now you know we have unfinished business last night," she said patting his shoulder Lucius immediately turn to Evelyn but before he could speak Evelyn enter the room and lock the door out of disappointment "let's go," Alexa said though Lucius did not want to leave he have to for the sake of Evelyn.

Evelyn angrily pulls off her dress and mess up her makeup and hair clips then she lay on the bed burying her head in the pillow and crying profusely she has married the wrong man he didn't love her he just wants to make her a victim even though using her as a tool to gain more power that's so nice of him she cried endlessly before she finally falls asleep.

The next morning Evelyn woke up but she couldn't find Lucius beside her she dress up and leave the room luckily she found Chad one of Lucius's men "good morning Chad do you perhaps know where he highness was?" She ask and Chad scratched the back of his head "he currently doesn't want to be disturbed"

"Disturbed? So am the one disturbing him now" she scoff inwardly to herself then look up at Chad gone was the cold expression her expression now change it seems like she was angry and Chad could feel it "Take me there" she said in a deep voice Chad seeing this usual expression agreed and nodded "this way" he leaves leading the way. Chad and Evelyn get to a front of huge door she has been here before the archery practice room unfortunately she found three other guard at the doorstep something was really fishy but she didn't care about that she was over clouded with annoyance she was about to open the door when one of Lucius men block her way "get out of my way" she said with annoyance the man look at Chad but Chad gave him and assuring look because the princess is not herself anymore Evelyn open the door and step in while on the way her thought was that he is in his secret library maybe studying but what she meant was the opposite of what she thought she saw Lucius half naked wearing nothing but a short sleeve and long trouser and Alexa wearing a short armless sleeve Lucius was guiding Alexa archery and same time saying some things into her hair making Alexa blush and sometimes after he whisper into her hair Alexa will smile and plant a kiss on his lips they are really into intimacy Evelyn heart squeeze seeing the huge betrayal of her husband she was right her husband didn't love her he was in love with his mistress gathering up her courage she manage to speak they were so engage that they didn't notice her presence "did I ruin something your highness" she speak immediately Lucius let go of Alexa handling the bow and arrow over to Alexa he saw the hurt and betrayal in her eyes not only she had caught them together but she didn't know the truth behind this Evelyn stood right in front of Lucius his men were also in the room watching the scene. Evelyn's eyes became clouded with tears but she can't cry here not in front of Alexa she angrily stood before Lucius, Lucius look surprised at her expression she seems annoyed that was the first time he had ever seen her like that but he was already expecting it he had betrayed her trust not wasting a moment Evelyn slap him across his face Alexa and his men grasp and Evelyn could hear it but she didn't care right now "you are disgusting" Evelyn added Lucius look at her his face was all red from the slap "you.... you... I... I wish you could just disappear... I wish you were gone..... I wish you had never existed" Alexa finds it difficult to believe that his wife has a weakness too immediately she feels guilty for what she has done it was all her fault she kept threatening Lucius. Lucius's heart beat faster in his chest that he thought it might explode his wife was saying all these hurtful words to him but she didn't stop there "I never want to see you again now that I see the person you love your mistress, not me...." She inhale sharply "I wish you a great life your highness thank you for everything and goodbye," she said in a menacing voice before she turn her back and leave her eyes all red Chad and the other men could feel her pain too clearly, the way for her Lucius felt urge to go after her but his leg can't move he used to hurtful words but why can't he take this hurtful words that come from his wife. Did he hurt her that much?
