Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 6

Alice knocked on the door. "Come in," Lucia said getting up from the bed. "Good morning, Lucia" Alice greeted her with a smile. "Good morning Alice." "Had a good night?" "Yes, one of my favorite nights." She giggled. "Get ready, I'll get you breakfast," Alice said and she nodded.

After Alice left, Lucia locked the door and opened the wardrobe. She seemed very happy because today her dream of wearing her fantasy dress and getting ready full of royal clothes and accessories was coming true.

She was looking for a dress when her eyes locked on a beautiful dress. She took a bath wrapped a towel around her body and wore the dress.

It was a long blue sleeveless dress with a v-neck and a golden color flowery design belt tied to her waist. A design as same as the belt in golden color was made with chains hanging on both sides on the shoulder.

After wearing the dress, she stood in front of the mirror and froze seeing herself for a moment. She couldn't believe that she was wearing a stunning dress because she was used to wearing the second-hand clothes of her sister.

Alice came in with breakfast on the plate and placed it on the table. When she looked at Lucia, she said "You look like a princess." With her wide eyes. Lucia smiled and wore blue-colored heels.

"Lucia, eat your breakfast then I'll show you this palace." Lucia nodded.

Amara, a maid, came and picked up her plates. Lucia went with Alice and Alice started showing her around.

"So, here is Prince Lucifer's room next to Prince Fergus's. No one is allowed to go in without permission." Alice whispered the last part in Lucia's ear and she nodded.

Lucifer's room was seven rooms away from Lucia's room. In between, there were all the three Prince's rooms but Lucifer's room was away from them as well.

"What's this?" She pointed at a wooden door next to Lucifer's room. "This is Prince Lucifer's private room. No one is allowed to pass in front of this. No one has ever gone in, not even his brothers." Alice said. "Oh.."

"What are you doing here?" Hearing someone's cold voice, Alice froze at the spot. She didn't even turn to look who was there because she knew there was no one but Lucifer himself.

When Lucia looked in the direction of the voice, a smile plastered on her face. "Prince Lucifer". Ignoring her words, Lucifer stood behind Alice and then she turned to look at Lucifer but her eyes were glued to the floor.

"What are you doing here?" Lucifer asked Alice. "P..prince..l.luc..." Alice badly stuttered and Lucia said cutting her words. "She was showing me the palace." Lucifer looked at her. "Why?" "Because I wanted to."

Lucifer glared at her for a while scanning her from head to toe. Lucia expected him to say something about her wearing this dress but instead, he turned his gaze at Alice.

Without saying anything, he turned to the left. Lucia's eyes widened seeing the scene in front of her. She ran behind Lucifer.

She found him in the garden and said while panting "Prince Lucifer" She placed her hand on her chest and said, "You..you have blood on your shirt." "Then" "Are you fine? Are you in pain?" Looked concerned.

Lucifer replied looking deep into her eyes and came close to her. She could feel his breath on her face. "Pain makes me grow. Growing is what I want. Therefore for me, pain is my pleasure." She was quiet for a while.

"Pretending to be fine when you're in pain is just an example of how strong you are as a person" she smiled. "Can I help you". He closed his eyes for a while and then nodded.

Lucia came into her room taking Lucifer with her. She made him lay on the bed and called Alice and asked her to bring ointments. Alice came back with a bowl of herbs.

"Don't you have cream to apply?" she said looking at the bowl. "I apologize milady, what's that." "Never mind," said Lucia, and Alice left.

Lucia looked at Lucifer who was still lying on the bed with closed eyes on his belly. Lucia came close and told him to remove his clothes.

Lucifer opened his eyes and looked at Lucia. "Are you sure?" "Of course I am," she said and he started unbuttoning his shirt.

Lucia looked at him for a moment and then turned back with a full red face. "what happened" Lucifer said with a smirk. "Um, nothing. You can lay down."

He smiled at lay down on the bed closing his eyes. Lucia turned to look at him. Her eyes widened looking at his back which was fully covered in blood.

She gasped and put her hand on her mouth. "What happened to your back?" "No more questions or I am going" "No, no, I am applying." She said and sat across his body.

She put herbs on her fingers and started applying them to the wounds with trembling hands. Lucifer closed her eyes tightly, and Lucia noticed.

"Is it hurting?" Lucia looked concerned. "No, it's not hurting." "But your face is telling something else." "Do your work and let me go." "Huh, okay fine but how do you get this wound? It seems like a mark to me." "It is a mark." "Is it a sword?" "Are you done?" "Oh yes done."

Lucifer got up from the bed and started dressing. While he was putting his clothes on, Lucia noticed his body which had eight packs and was extremely well-proportioned.

Her eyes lost focus when she heard the noise of the breaking of glass and shattering on the floor, from outside her room as if someone was keeping an eye on them.

"What was that?" She said looking at Lucifer who was already looking at the door.
