Chapter 19 — Rude As Always!
Standing on the head of a monster he had just slayed, Lucian gazed above at the sky which had turned a peach orange with violet and pink shades.
He let out a soft sigh, closing his eyes.
A moment of peace.
He could not find such peace in the castle the king owned, nor in the large mansion he was gifted due to his marriage for the sole reason his wife— Princess Cynthia also resided there. The sight of her boiled his blood and he feared not being able to control his fury and perhaps, unalive her.
"Your Highness! The grand duchess!.." Glain rushed towards Lucian who stepped off the monster.
"The grand duchess?" Lucian raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, Her Highness, Princess Cynthia has been causing trouble in the mansion. We should head back."
Although she was Lucian’s wife, for him, she would forever remain Princess Cynthia of Selvarys. It was his way to make sure he didn’t confuse her to be one of his people.
"What about the monsters?"
"Thanks to your assistance, we have wiped out most of them. The remaining ones will be blocked by magic defence."
Lucian nodded, pulling out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiping his sword clean from the blood dripping from the blade.
