Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 5

"Prince Lucifer please have a seat," Lucia said looking at Lucifer with a bright smile. Without giving any expression, Lucifer looked out for an empty chair then he looked at the chair next to Lucia which was empty, he first looked at Lucia and then at the chair, and he finally took his seat.

"Lucia, we are pleased to have you here. If you wonder why we are treating you well, keep in mind that whoever comes here from another world in our world is special to us. Our ancestors belonged to your world and having you here, made us feel blessed because we got sight of you, a girl who belongs to where our ancestors belonged." King I Anthony said welcoming Lucia. "Thank you so much, Your Highness. I am pleased to be here." Lucia thanked them.

Lucifer looked at Lucia and understood everything, who she was. Without saying anything, he looked at the table. "Enjoy your meal," King said and everyone enjoyed the food.

Lucia was stunned to see the food placed in front of her. She never had seen this much food in her lifetime. There was every sort of food cooked in a different style. Of course, Lucia should've expected this the fact that she was in a Royal palace.

After having dinner, everyone kept sitting without Lucifer. He stood up immediately after eating. Without saying anything, he stood up and paced outside.

"Thank you so much Your Highness for this amazing dinner. Have a good night" Lucia said and bowed before running outside behind Lucifer. She didn't know but hearing a lot about Lucifer made her feel a connection with him.

She took many turns but didn't find him. Alice came out of the kitchen and saw her looking for someone.

"Who are you looking for milady?" Alice asked. "Luc.." she said while looking around but then focused on Alice. "Well, I wonder where Prince Lucifer is?" Lucia said trying to sound normal.

"He must be outside having a walk. He takes a walk after having dinner." Alice said and smiled internally. "Ok Alice, see you around."

She came into the garden where she had a walk today. She saw Lucifer sitting on the edge of the lake filled with fresh cold water and staring at the big bright moon.

She acted like having a walk. She picked some flowers that were dropped on the ground by the cold relaxing wind blowing and touching her body making her take a deep breath.

After staring at his back for some time, she started taking her footsteps ahead and stood behind Lucifer. He turned back to look at who was standing behind him.

When he saw Lucia behind her, he looked at her confused. He wondered what she was doing here. Without thinking twice, Lucia sat next to him.

"I met with everyone here except you. I heard a lot about you, Prince Lucifer. My name is Lucia." She extended her hand to shake. He first looks at her without any expression and then at her. After thinking for some time, he finally responded.

"Don't call me by my name," Lucifer said turning his gaze to the moon. " Why?" Lucia rang like asking herself. "Because I don't like it." He answered not looking at her when her eyes were glued on him.

"Don't say that. Your name is beautiful. Look our names sound the same, Lucia and Lucifer." She said in her deadly candy voice which made him look in her direction. He stared for a moment, smiled, and then nodded. "Yes, Lucia and Lucifer." He repeated.

There was silence for some time. Lucia kept looking at his golden eyes which seemed sparkling under a full moon night. The cold air made his hair touch his forehead. His jawline and his keenness of eyebrows were made like he was made by God himself. Who could call him the Devil when he looks like God himself?

He coughed fakely then Lucia snapped back to actuality. "What are you looking at?" Lucifer asked. His voice was music to her eyes. " Ah..a.. your eyes, how beautiful are they." She said and he frowned.

"Did I say something inappropriate?" Her words came out more like a whisper but he somehow managed to hear.

"You are the first who compliments." He said when a smile appeared on his face. She loved his smile which he gave her for the first time. "What? Really? No one ever told you that? "Nope. They are afraid more," he said while maintaining his feet in the water and placing his hands back. "Good thing, I am not."

He stared at her face and then looked away. "Go to sleep, it's getting late," Lucifer said to Lucia. "Okay let's go," Lucia said standing up. "I said you go." He said closing his eyes. "Why, are you sleeping here." She laughed.

"You go first, I'll come." He said. "But why?" He passed her glares and made her say "Okay okay I am going. Good night."

Lucia went to her room and looked out of the window. He wasn't there. "Huh, what would've happened if he came with me." She thought to herself.

"He's not like that what Millie told me. He seems like a good person to me. Ah, God how handsome he is. Stop Lucia, what's happening? Relax. Breath in and out." She talked to herself bit blushing.

After taking a long cold shower, she smilingly went to her bed remembering this day. "Gammy, I miss you. I hope you are okay." She said and drifted off.
