Lucien cradled the baby on his arms, his eyes gently looking at the little milk bun who was sleeping quietly in peace. He shifted his eyes to look at the gate in front of him, his heart instantly cooling down when he imagined his love in the embrace of someone else. As he was glaring daggers at the closed gates, he noticed two people who seemed to have come from there and restrained the surging emotions in his heart.

With a particularly weak and pitiful posture, he went over the two people and asked for directions on where the banquet was being held. Seeing the two strangers looking at each other and whispering about what his intentions could be, Lucien waited for sometime until the two resolved their troubles. Both of them led him quite carefully, sometimes glancing at the child on his arms with strange gazes that were full of scrutiny.

He hugged the bundle on his arms tightly and didn't dare let the two see his baby twice. Once was enough, he didn't want his things being seen by others more so because he was quite selfish. When they noticed that he didn't want his child to be seen, the two just left him be.

Whence they arrived at the designated place, Lucien pursed his lips as he thanked the two sincerely. He walked through the halls and saw all kinds of guests in clearly glamorous and noble clothing, this sight made him frown a little as he still couldn't find the main focus of this marriage banquet. Looking around, observing the surroundings, but it still ended up in vain, it was obvious that the couple seems to be in another location.

Knowing this made a burning feeling of anger and the sour feeling of jealousy arise once more within his heart. He felt bitter, eyes starting to cloud with tears that he then suppressed. With pursed lips and head down looking at the wrap of cloth, he walked briskly towards a secluded corner away from the gathering crowd.

However, as misfortune may have it, he came face to face with the scene of his amnesiac lover kissing a wild woman!

His face turned colourful in an instant, eyes glaring daggers at the two as if it could kill them. The veins in his neck throbbed as he tried to restrain his anger in fear of hurting his child. He relaxed his breath, trying his best to be calm as his "wife" cheated on him.

He knew it was wrong- that he couldn't be angered by such actions because the other was clueless about their past. But what could he do? He engraved the promises they've made in his mind from every life at different worlds. But because of his natural possessive nature, he won't be able to tolerate his lover having any sort of affection towards people other than himself.

When the two people in front was done with their make out session, he asked with a trembling voice,

"What about me?"
