i wonder how she is

Linden's POV

i wonder how Lilith is doing now, she's probably thinking of Edgar right now. i should have met her when she first came to the palace and i shouldn't have screamed at her in my office. but i don't want to hurt her, i want her to be happy. the prophecy said that i will kill the woman that i love the most, a woman with coal black hair and honey brown eyes. i cant let you die again Lilith, i want to go back home and be with you, i want to feel you, smell you and taste you.

Darren come here "yes sire" Darren said "send someone home to check on Lilith" i commanded and Darren replied with a yes sire and left.

Lilith's POV

i was taken to the soldiers barracks and i recognized the symbol on their flags and weapons, they belonged to the opposing guild in the war. i don't want to die, are they going to torture me and get information form me. all sorts of thoughts were rushing through my head. i kept of moving around while the man that brought me to the area kept a tight hold on the leash i was wearing around my neck. "settle down, you will be a gift to his highness" said the man. he continued pulling me

as we reached closer to the other nations emperors tent i began feeling scared. what was going to happen to me, was i going to get raped or what. i was pushed into the tent and the soldier eventually left. the tent seemed empty so i moved forward and tried looking for a knife to remove the leash but i froze when i heard a man's voice "you are a fine jewel and you also seem smart, your figure is beautiful and i didn't expect my men to find a beautiful thing like you" "what do you want with me, leave me and let me run free". the man started walking towards me, with fear. i fell to my knees and begged for mercy, i couldn't let this man touch me.

"why are you on your knees, i wont harm you, so you can get up. don't worry i wont touch you" he said "what is your name ?" he asked. i hesitantly told him my name. "Lilith, what a beautiful name, you look similar to my mother. it hurts my heart to see you scared of me. it brings back memories of how my father would beat up my mother and use her for her body." a breath of sadness filled the air. suddenly i began frowning in sadness. "because you remind me of my mother, i wont touch you. i don't want to see a beautiful girl like you crying" the man said." you can call me Asham"
