Writer's pov;

"Lucian! Lucian! " Hazel called out crying. He just raised his head, but she couldn't see his face clearly, since his hair covered his face. He was also sweating. But Lucian could easily see Hazel as she was struggling to come to him. He never wanted her to see him in this state, looking all helpless and miserable and she can't do anything about it. Then a whip landed on his lower back, making him to scream. Each whip that landed on him made Hazel feel pain in her heart and angry. At this time she didn't care if her feelings were betraying her, but Lucian was important in her life, she made a vow to also take care of him as his wife.

Pierre just stood beside the king, his nose with a Plastersine on. He gave out his punishment to some of his men, not like his brother who took his punishment, Lucian couldn't allow someone else suffer because of his mistakes.

All the others who were being whipped, kept falling, but Lucian kept still until the forty five whips were over.

"Just stop! Aaargh! Let go of me! " She said trying to break free from the hold.

"I am sorry your highness, we can't let you go near, you are also going to get hurt to, " One of the guards told her. She just glared at him and wished she was stronger and break free.

Finally it was over a guard Uncuffed him and he supported his body with his tired hands. When the guards released Hazel, she ran towards Lucian, but some of his men reached to him before her.

Lucian was then taken to his room, while Hazel just followed behind them. They then helped him to sit on the bed. Then he hissed because of the wounds on his back.

His men stared at him. "His highness we're at your service, " One said then they bowed.

This made Lucian to be even more angry, since he didn't like to be pitted on, he just wanted to be alone.

" Leave! "He shouted at them. They bowed then quickly got out of then room.

Hazel didn't leave she then took a bowl of warm water that some maids brought and some medicine from the doc.

" You should also leave, Hazel, "he said calming down.

" No, "she said stubbornly then closed the door took the tray and placed it on the table besides the bed.

Lucian had thought that Hazel would actually leave him in this state but he couldn't believe that she refused.

" Now take your shirt off, "she said standing before him.

Lucian didn't even bother to unbutton his shirt. Is she seriously going to do first aid on me? Lucian thought to himself." Or maybe I should help you, "she suggested, then held the collar of the shirt, Lucian quickly got hold of her wrist making her to stop.

" I said leave, this is your last chance little lamb, "he state his voice changing to an anger tone, and his eyes also changed making his golden iris to look even more brighter, fierce and dangerous. Hazel still refused, then pretend to ignore his threat, even though she felt a cold aura coming out of him. Lucian then stood from the bed then pushed Hazel to the wall, then he got hold of her neck hurting her.
