Chapter 2

Evelyn inhale looking outside the carriage window she was rubbing her hands together she was so nervous thinking of the wedding consumption she had never touched a guy before she has always been inside the palace but here she is married to an icy cold unromantic prince "Evelyn" he calls out solemnly and Evelyn's heart skip a beat "yes your highness"

"Nevermind" he look outside the window Evelyn blink twice at him he sure want to ask her a question but why did he stop midway 'aish this cold guy well if he won't ask a question I will start' she said to herself determinedly "how many mistresses do you have your highness?"

"Fifty and a headmistress" he responded shortly 'aish' Evelyn roll her eyes 'he is spicy too but waits what? Fifty mistresses and a headmistress as young as he is how is he able to handle them all? No wonder why he is skinny' she chuckles inwardly "making fun of me princess" he said slowly Evelyn's heart hammered against her chest can he hear her thoughts 'gosh he is weird too I married a monster "you did not marry a monster you married a human" he smirks 'and teasy too' Evelyn scoffs not believing what's happening she could only read it in books but she hadn't experienced anything like this before she clears her throat and took a deep breath to calm her nerves down "how old are you, your highness"

"Didn't count" Evelyn choke who on earth couldn't have counted the number of years he had been living? He is sure weird "how are you able to handle your fifty-one mistress," Evelyn asks and he faces her "you believe that I have fifty-one mistress?"

"Of course, you are handsome, attractive and you are a prince" she replied causing him to smirk Evelyn puff her cheek, wondering if she just sees him smirk but she couldn't stop staring at him he was damn attractive this is the first time she has ever see him laugh "just kidding I got only one headmistress I dismiss the rest"

"Why?" He inhales sharply and looks through the window, the breeze is soft and cold he closes his eyes and lets the cool breeze blow on him Evelyn clears and looks out through the window finally she is stepping into a new life, new prison maybe. She shut her eyes she thought her husband would treat her the way her father treats her mom, abandoning her in the castle and taking in more mistresses spending time with them more than his wife she thought she would have to live her life fearing her husband opposite of the life she ever dreams of, she dreams of marrying a man she could call out his name, play and joke with all day, not a fearful husband, but whatever it is, is she ready for the new life and adventure ahead?.

The carriage halts at the front of two beautiful blue gates Evelyn stares at the gate with awe, she was told Trespia is such a beautiful kingdom she had seen it now, it was beautiful, it's her new home now, she and her husband got off the carriage as she was about to walk she step on her dress causing her to stumble she almost fell but she felt a strong arm around her waist protecting her from falling again, she hides her face embarrassed she didn't want him to see her like this "are you okay?" He ask "yes... My legs are just tired" she took a step expecting him to take his leave abandoning her with her situation but what he did next shocked her, she felt his hand on her waist and his other hand on her knee and hopped her up carrying her in a princess style she looks at him her lips parted with shock "hold me" she heard him say, still in shock she wrapped her hand around his neck, but she frowns remembering that it's their wedding night and she has to conserve her energy, he carried her not because he cares but for her to conserve her energy, a royal prince can never be different she frowns at her thought.

Entering the castle Evelyn was in such awe though it was night already she could still see the castle it was elegant and the courtyard was decorated with red and purple roses. As they walk through the hallway, an old lady and two maids appeared in front of them "we will take her from here your highness" the old lady says Evelyn suddenly wrap her arms around Lucius's neck, Lucius could feel her nervousness she was so sacred like she was been taken into the prison maybe it her first time "I will prepare her myself" he said the maid didn't seem please with what he just said but he gave them an assuring smile and they back off Evelyn let out a deep sigh but one problem left where are they going now into the 'ROOM' that word felt like a bomb that blows her heart off her heart pounds faster she stares at Lucius smooth v shape jaw it was smooth and soft that she felt like kissing it she was lost in staring at it and she looked away getting angry again thinking royal men are all the same and are full of pretense, she didn't know when they reach the room. Lucius stand by a huge door Evelyn's heart slammed against her chest as they were open Lucius still carrying Evelyn in his arms enter the room he carefully sits her down on the bed "change into more comfortable cloth I will be back" Lucius said and leave Evelyn to puff her cheek and roll her eyes 'what? The more comfortable cloth he says gosh' Evelyn inhale and stand up looking around the room, the room was a huge room and it was the brim of candles light, a bookshelf which was tall to the ceiling were covered with all kinds of book, in the middle of the room there was four massive canopy bed dressed in purple, chiffon curtains hanging from them were pulled to the side and tied to the post which shows the bed that was inside it, it was a large king bed size that had a cover sheet in a purple and purple matching pillowcase. Evelyn sigh and enter the bathroom.

After bathing she slid into soft nightwear it was so comfortable and relaxing that she let her hair fall off her shoulder and sit on the bed. Then suddenly Lucius open the door to the room and step in he had changed his dress and his white hair was falling off his shoulder he was wearing a white dress and white boxer shorts sighting him Evelyn's brain malfunctioned he look like a god emerging from water her heart slam against her chest as he walks towards her and sit next to her "you done?" He asks "yes your highness"

"Am Lucius, call me that when we are alone," he said Evelyn blink at him with curiosity, unable to believe that he is slowly turning out to be the man of her dream, but she can't her mother told her to always respect her husband "your highness" she lowered her head clutching her fist together "call me Lucius, you married me not what I am, she looks at him shyly and look away "okay... Lu... Lucius" her heart warmed up she felt she has just fulfilled one of her dream calling her husband by his name, maybe he is slightly different from other princes. "Good" he moved his lips closer to her neck and Evelyn jolted flowing up from the bed "what are you trying to do," she ask widening her eyes at him with annoyance "what do you mean by that Evelyn are you asking me what am trying to do during our wedding night?" He reminded Evelyn to rub her neck "oh... Yeah, it's our wedding night" she cuddle and sit beside him no one has ever done that to Lucius before not even his mistress but his wife he stare at her with deep curiosity she seem so nervous he slowly hold her hand and Evelyn flinch again one glance at that was enough for him to know that she is a virgin so he won't have to force she has to willingly give herself to him when she is ready "your hands are cold" he said and look at her Evelyn inhale and faces him lowering her head "yes Lucius am scared and nervous" Lucius's eyes widen the word Lucius felt like honey melting his frozen heart she is calling his name in the sweetest way no one has ever call him Lucius not even with deep emotion "I've never done this before I don't think am ready" she added and he nodded "you should have told me" he tugged her hair to the back of her ear "it's okay, I will wait till you are ready" Evelyn could not believe her ears he just said he will wait? He is not slightly different he is different, and he is truly the man of her dreams.

After some while when Evelyn was finally asleep Lucius stare at her sleeping figure she is so beautiful even when sleeping no one has ever called him by his name, she is slowly melting his heart but will she want to stay with him realizing who he was?
