Last star shinning

1. One with the moment

CHAPTER 1.
THE PAST.

I have lived more lives, than I could ever count. I have met Shakespeare, discussed matters with Leonardo da Vinci, heck, I even rulled countries and have been their queen. But no matter how I may enjoy my life, I always keep looking for him. My soulmate, my MATE.

His name is Lucien. We have met ages ago. In fact, the story of our first encounterment isin't romantic at all. I was a duchess at that time. My mother has been wanting to marry me off for such a long time, but with no luck. I was nor ugly or nor dumb. In fact, I was and I'm very beautiful, however, peope considered me being to smart. And no man would want a woman to control over him or be smarter than him.

Anyways, in my 3 maching seasson, I have caught an eye of a prince. Many girls were trying to seduce the prince, he was kind, he had light brown hair and a beard covering his jawline. He was indeed beautiful, but he did not atract me, I only hanged out with him from my deperate need of a husband.

One night, one girl decided to take revenge on me, for not getting the prince. She fooled me by saying, that the prince has set up a date for us and it is near the lake. Once I went there, no one was there. I was standing on the edge of a little bridge, that had no side support. Suddenly, I felt someones arms push me into the water.

The water was ice cold, the panic kicked in and I was having difficulties trying to swim to the shore. I lost a lot of energy and slowly started sinking. I screamed for help one last time until my head was fully submerged under the water. In that very moment I started blaming universe, God, everyone. I never experienced life, I was still very young. I haven't felt true love, kissed a gentlemen and never will have children.

Suddenly, I felt strong arms grabing around my waist. I felt warmth of someones body in a cold lonely lake. I felt safe, calm. I felt peace. I don't remember what happened next, because the next day, I woke up in my bed. I head down stairs to ask my mom, what happened. The next thing I knew, I saw him. Sitting at the breakfast table. Looking at me, with concern in his eyes.

The moment I saw him, emotions overflood me. Happiness, peace, warm and.. passion. The mistery man was the most gorgeous man I have ever seen. His hair was like a night sky. I saw stars in his eyes. His lips were curved with a hint of mischeaf. I was wearing all black, it complimented his hair and his personality quite well.

My thoughts were disrupted by my mother.

- Ah, my dear, how gald I'm that you are finally awake. Last night you had me so worried, but I also could not keep your savior hungry, I hope you don't mind.

- Not at all.- I said.

- How rude of me. Sorry, milady, my name is Lucien. I'm the older brother of your prince and a future king.

My jaw almost droped. The famous future king Lucien. In other words known as heart breaker. He rejected many girls, and also left many of them.

I immediately kneeled, showing my respect.
- Im very honored, your highness for yoj being in my home. I'd like to thank you very much, for saving me the other night.

- No problem, I had just arrived here to support my brother yesterday. I decided to take a strool near the lakes, till I hear you screaming.

- Excuse me for a moment.- said my mother while leaving the room.

I took a seat at the breakfast table, saying no word more.

- You have catched an eye of my little brother. This boy won't shut up and was about to propose to you. I guess you dead would make him an "early widow".- he said with a smirk on his face.

- You majesty, with all respect, you don't know if I would have even approved his proposal and besides, it is rude to joke around of persons death.

- Oh really your grace? I have done research about you. Seems like you are in desperate needs of an husband. I m sure at this moment, you would agree to any first offer.

- Enough your majesty! I will not let you disrespect my honor aspecially at my own home! I do not care, if you are a soon to be king. Even if you will give me sentence of death at this very moment.

- Vise and laud mouth you have there, my duchess. You probably can not wait to kiss my brother with it.

- Leave. NOW! I do not want to hear or see any of you ever again, you nasty pig.

He chuckled.
- See you soon, duchess.
