Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 8

"Friends?"

"Yes, friends. Why? Can't we?"

Lucia gave a disappointed look. Out of nowhere, again a guard appeared in front of them and told him to come. He nodded and went without saying anything. All she did was see him disappear.

"Get ready! Everyone is on end! The round will commence in the next occasional minutes."

A commentator spoke on the speaker "Prince Lucifer is here."

Lucifer reached his position and said something to Cruella in her ears, she made a sound. Then Lucifer settled on his horse.

Lucia came to the ground and sat in the front seat with Annabelle. Lucia looked at her suspiciously because she was the wife of Prince Marcel. She thought for a moment then went near her and sat with her.

"What do you think Anna, who'll win?" Lucia asked her.

" I think Lucifer will gain a victory."

"Why?"

"Why not? You are expressing this because you haven't witnessed him riding a horse. He's the best horse rider and always wins."

Lucia smiled and looked at Lucifer who was getting on the horse.

"On the mark, ready, go"

Someone fired the gun and all the horses started running. Marcel was on the first, lucifer on the second, and the nobleman on the third. Fergus's horse made his pace and came on third.

In the match, participants have to go through the forest and return on time, and no rules. Marcel and Lucifer both tightened their grip on the rope and ordered both the horses to run as fast as possible.

Marcel entered first and then Lucifer. Lucifer looked at Marcel who was gesturing to someone with his hands. When Lucifer looked in that direction, he saw that a rope was placed on the tree to trap him.

Lucifer looked at the man with his golden eyes which seemed like burning lava. When the man looked into his eyes, he froze at the spot and blood started flowing from his eyes.

Lucifer went near him when the man started crying.

"Please spare me. It was a mistake"

He said begging him to spare his life but he knew it was impossible.

"Cheating is a choice, not a mistake," Lucifer said hitting him on his leg.

On the other hand, Marcel was continuously looking back to see Lucifer but lost his focus when his horse stopped, making an unexpected break.

When he turned his gaze to look at the cause, shivers ran down his body seeing Lucifer in front of him.

"It's not possible. How can you be here?"

"You believe in spreading rumors, but I have the guts to turn those rumors into reality."

He cast his oblique glance at Marcel before catching speed like a bullet. Marcus couldn't believe what he just saw.

On the other side, everyone's eyes were glued to the entrance of the ground where the winner of the game would enter. Meanwhile, everyone's ears perked up at the sound of a galloping horse.

Just then, Lucifer with a horse entered the ground with the speed of a bullet, which echoed applause in the entire ground. Lucia, who was watching all this, got up from her seat and started clapping loudly.

Soon after Lucifer's arrival, participants took their horses and came down to the field. Lucifer took his reward from the king and stood directly in front of Lucia.

"I am so happy for you." Lucia congratulates him on his victory.

"If you were not there today and you did not inform me about his planning, then today I would not have succeeded in the game. I don't have words to thank you for all of this."

Lucifer said to Lucia taking out a flower from his pocket.

"If Lucia won't work for Lucifer, who will?"Lucia said taking a flower from him.

"Thank you for this but I have something to ask."

"Anything".

"I didn't think you would believe my words so quickly."

"Don't trouble, this is not his first time."

"Has he done this before?" She asked surprised.

He nodded and ruffled her hair before leaving.

"Are we friends now?" He turned and smiled at her.

Alice knocked on the door and got Lucia's permission before coming inside.

"Lucia, the king has held a meeting at the throne hall."

Lucia, who was combing her hair stopped and looked at Alice in the mirror who was standing behind her.

"Why, what happened?"

"I don't know, must be crucial, I think"

Alice replied taking a comb out of her hand and started making her hair.

Lucia met Lucifer on his way to the throne hall and went inside with him. Everyone was in their place when Lucifer got settled on his Royal chair and Lucia set in front of him on an empty chair.

As soon as the king entered, everyone stood up and bowed their heads. By the gesture of the king, all the people sat at their respective places.

"Today is an occasion of tremendous happiness."

King said and Lucia thought it would be about the victory of Lucifer.

Instead, the king said

"The king of Zhou kingdom has vowed to give his daughter's hand to my son Fergus. Our Kingdom is proceeding to join with another Kingdom. This is a pleasure for all. Greetings to everyone on this occasion."

Everyone started cheering and clapping.

Lucia looked at Fergus who was looking very happy.

"Lucia you are going to catch a glimpse of the first wedding here hope you'll appreciate it a lot here."

King said to Lucia when everyone left.

"It's my pleasure," she said and left.

The auspicious time of marriage was after 15 days. In no time, 5 days passed and today was the day when of Royal people from the Zhou kingdom were going to reach this Dragon Kingdom. Alice already told Lucia about the wedding ceremonies.

The whole palace was decorated like a bride and different types of flowers were decorated on it. Everyone was getting ready to welcome the guests for the Royal party to which only Royal people were invited.

Lucia wore the golden-colored net dress with light blue flowers on the bottom of the dress, long net arms, chains hanging from the neck to the chest, and a light-colored dress.

Lucifer wore a blue colored Royal suit with a white colored belt on the waist and a chain tied on the shoulder connected with the belt.
