Let me go!" she begged, trembling and keep resisting his grip. As he hugged her tightly while licking her earlobe, teasing her as he whispered into her ears sweetly. " Darling Celine, you can't run away from me, you are mine, body and soul" he whispered. Placing his face onto her neck then kissed it lightly as he leaves a kiss mark on her pale skin. Celine's shoulder tenses up as he licks her neck slowly, enjoying the situation he mumbles. "What should I do to make your stay?..should I lock you up and hid you somewhere no one can see this beautiful face of yours!" he commented, while Celine who was avoiding his gaze cried, as her 5th attempt at escaping him failed.

The guardsmen quickly opened the iron gates and welcomed him, as they bowed and paid obeisance to his gallantry and bringing the empire to prestigious triumph.
" A pleasant welcome, your highness crown prince!" They greeted , while bowing down their heads and showing respect on him like ever.
As he land down on his horse. all of the servants that are infront of him, can feel his tranquil expression and an emitting aura of his preponderance. All of the servants that are infront of him are trembling, thinking that this cold-hearted crown prince they once knew hasn't changed, yet had become more scarier than before.
Lucian who's been watching them gaze up to the head butler and walked pass through them as he head to his room in an instant.
Seeing him leave, everyone sighed in relief as the head butler commanded them."Prepare everything that his highness needs!! If ever someone's going to make him annoyed, make sure to leave without a notice." He berated , leaving them an explicit warning to not mess with someone who's powerful as their master.
While walking through the east hallway, as he head to his room. Eugene who's one step behind , inform him about his uncle's request.
"Your highness, his grace is requesting you to come over to his office." He informed, waiting for his response.
"It's a request right?! So tell him I'll come before dinner." He responded, while looking at him vexed.
" Yes, your highness..then I'll take my leave." He replied with a sigh, wincing in dismay then paused suddenly.
"Informed my uncle that I won't be seeing him for a month." He remarked , teasing his advisor as he walked towards his room.
"Wait , don't tell that your going to pay a visit for her?" He asked in suspense.
" Maybe !"
Hearing his response, he swiftly walked towards him as he complained.
"Please reconsider that your highness! You still have to head back to the royal palace."he complained while following him.
Eugene who's been working hard these pass few months, relentlessly complained for his reckless decision when it comes to Celine.
" Please reconsider it your highness!"
" Yes, I will reconsider it . Once we head back to the imperial Palace, I will make sure to make that b*tch's life miserable and slowly torture her little by little... Wouldn't be fascinating to see that b*tch face littered with wounds and bruises?!" He sneered looking at him contemptuously smirked in excitement.
Seeing him devilishly smirked in excite,he can tell that there wasn't a single trace of mercy in his eyes, only abhorrence in his heart.
"And by the way, before we head back to the imperial Palace. I want you to send someone to protect her, since you failed on sending someone to protect her." He requested.
" You know the reason of it though! Your highness."
"Even if I am your advisor ,I'm still under your uncle's control."
" So that's why I'm asking you for a favor, not an order."
"Then , let's see what I can do."
"Well you can just send our spy Kiara, since we'll be departing next week .. once we head back to the imperial Palace ,tell her that she'll have a new mission to do."He suggested, gazing at his advisor solemnly.
"Then, theirs no use of looking for a promising spy your highness." He uttered, taking his leave in complete serenity.
As his advisor head towards to his office he heave a sigh . His mind was restless of thinking about Lucian current state, A prince who'd soon become the new heir to the throne. Eugene halt as he drawn the pendant of his necklace, a precious gemstone of sapphire that resembles the eyes of his beloved. A sentimental kiss was placed in this precious pendant, the longing he felt for that certain person was pure and passionate. A sibling like love, that encourages him to protect the son of his beloved was all he live for.
"Relliana, your son will soon become the new emperor of this empire.I don't know if he'll be like his father, but I'm sure that someday he'll avenge your death."

Meanwhile ,In the crown prince chamber.Lucian who's resting in the bathtub with his legs spread open,his knees over the water,arms over the rims of the tub,and leaning back,eyes on Celine's precious bracelet. Gazing at the precious wristband, a sigh slipped past his lips as his mind drift elsewhere.His eyes remained on the bracelet on his wrist, thinking of what to do for him to stay with her for a long time.Does he really have to do this ? At this point,he was more than ready to fight for his love ones.
"Once I become the emperor, I'll give everything that she wants and desires. So that I can be with her forever." He uttered eternally,ch lightly in excite.
After taking a warm bath , Those servants who've been assigned to serve him couldn't help but to fall for his beauty. Fantasizing him to grow as the most handsome man in the empire .Lucian who's only wearing a robe layed down on the mattress like a work of art , exposing his chest. He can feel those lecherous gaze from those young servants that are serving him , making him feel uncomfortable and repulsive.
"I want everyone to leave! Or I'll plug out those lecherous eyes of yours!!"he rebuke asphyxiated.
Hearing it in their ears. Everyone panic as they knew his remarks can bring them in hell . Lucian would surely do it if he was displeased with that kind of behavior.
Those servants immediately bowed their heads and heed for his mercy ,as they paid obeisance to him and leave the room in escape.
As the room became silent, Lucian mind drift elsewhere. Closing his eyes for him to fall asleep, He can only recall and dreamed on seeing her smile and laughter. Since he was raised in a place where everyone watches his every move ,It was the first time he felt free from everything that causes him to stay vigilant and cold-hearted. Living with her for a moment was heaven for him,she was he's savior and sunshine.
Waiting to pass this lonely night, a man who's stooding up infront of an red curtain. His left hand holds a lamp that lights up to the dimmed room , gazing up as he raised his hand and remove the red curtain that conceals something from behind.
Behind that red curtain was a portrait of a woman whose eyes are like crystal sapphires, an unique emerald hair ,and an alluring angelic face. The woman was exceptionally beautiful , As her smile was pleasing to the eye ,where a single glance can melt your heart. But behind of this magnificent portrait was a deceased woman who's been betrayed by the one she loves.
The man pressed his hand at the portrait,as a tear of sadness fall onto the ground. His tranquil expression didn't change yet his eyes was filled with sadness, longing,and regret.His silver eyes that shines like the lone moon on the night sky, filled with tears of regret.
A sigh slipped in his lips, lamenting his beloved's death, he spoke.
" I'm sorry..... I should've stopped you, even if you'll hate me forever for doing so ....Now, I can only see your smile within this beautiful portrait of you.. Do you know how much I've missed you? After Knowing the reason why you can't give me your heart... I still didn't want to lose you...I still want to be your side." He's tonality was cold yet filled with love and longing.
"If there's a chance that we'll meet again in another life, Will you choose me? Will I be frustrated and make the wrong choice again?" His questions that can't be answered, leave him a conclusion of acceptance and vague hope.
As he leaned his forehead towards the portrait and thought of the times when Relliana kisses his forehead as they were kids. Wanting to feel those times again he spoke.
" I guess it doesn't matter.. Whether you choose me or not .as long as I can see your warmth smile ,either would be fine.. "
Alucard leave the dimmed room dejected yet his heart was filled with relief. Because soon Relliana's son will finally avenge her death ,and will soon finally be at peace.
