Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 9

King Anthony greeted the King and Queen of the Zhou kingdom. King introduced Fergus and Eliana. Fergus was a good-looking 25-year-old man whereas Eliana was 23, a little bit short with red hair, a girl.

Lucia came downstairs to the party hall wearing her long gown. Everyone's eyes were fixed on her. She was looking like a fairy Princess. Her eyes began to search for him. She saw him, he was talking to a girl who was flirting with him.

Anger and jealousy rushed all over her body but somehow managed to control her. She took a deep breath and put a fake smile on her lips. She stood near him to get his attention. She took a drink, her back facing his back.

Lucifer took a few steps back as the girl was trying to touch him and bumped into someone. He looked back to see Lucia. She acted surprised and said

"Oh, my bad Prince Lucifer!"

A smile made its way on Lucifer's lips and turned in her direction, completely ignoring that girl. Lucia looked at the girl and said

"Who's she?"

Lucifer said introducing her "She's Princess Lina, Princess Eliana's younger sister, II Princess of Zhou kingdom."

"My pleasure, Princess Lina" she bowed.

Lucia greeted but in response, she rolled her eyes. Lucifer glared at Lina and then looked at Lucia.

"You are looking so stunning," Lucifer said complimenting her.

"Thank you so much Prince Lucifer and you are looking so gorgeous as always." She blushed.

Seeing them so close, Lina started burning and left furiously. They continued to talk when Hercules came to Lucifer and whispered something in his ear. Lucifer nodded and told her to wait for him.

"Wait, I don't know anyone here. I wanna come with you." She said with her puppy eyes. He smiled at her, took her hand in his large hands, and took her with him to King's room.

Hercules was shocked to see Lucia with Lucifer. He thought about how a Devil and an Angle could be together. A devil, who doesn't like to talk to anyone, doesn't smile at anyone, now smiling at a girl and even holding hands. He was changed or changed only for her.

Lucifer came into the king's room with Lucia. She saw King standing near the window and looking out of it. King turned to see Lucifer but he saw Lucia there too.

"Lucia, What are you doing here?" King exclaimed.

Before she could speak anything, he spoke "She was unattended there and didn't know anyone, I brought her here with me"

King nodded and looked at Lucifer but he wasn't looking at him. "Did you come across Lina?" King Anthony asked

"Yes, I did."

"She seems a lovely lady. Don't you presume so?"

Lucia was standing behind him and listening to their conversation. She thought about what the King was talking about.

"Don't beat around the Bushes, Come to the moment," Lucifer said looking deep into his eyes.

"I want you to marry her." Everyone went silent after that. Lucia's eyes widened and he looked at the king stunned. "Please no, please no, please said no." She thought to herself.

As he listened to her mind, he looked at her and smiled. "I need some time to think. She is undoubtedly a pretty woman."

King didn't think this would be his reaction. He was confusingly looking at him. Lucifer turned to the left and held Lucia's hand.

"Let's go," he said and left from there.

Lucia was disappointed by his words. She thought he also started liking her but she was wrong. Her eyes were about to shed tears.

He took her to the balcony where both were standing and looking at the full moon. "This is so relaxing," Lucia said and looked down.

Like Lucifer remembered something, he left Lucia there and went into his room. Lucia looked at him confusingly and left for her room too.

Party ended. Guest left. The royal people of the Zhou kingdom were staying there for a night.

Lucia was in her room, crying, digging her face into the pillow, thinking if Lucifer got married to that girl what she would do?

Lucifer was passing from there when he heard her crying. He stopped for a moment and tried to look in her room. He saw her crying which made him furious. He thought for about a minute and then knocked on the door.

"Prince Lucifer, what are you doing here? at this time?" She asked surprised.

" I wanted to inform you that I am not marrying her." He said placing his hands in his pocket.

"What really!" When she realized she showed her excitement in front of him, she ran her hands through her hair and yawned.

"Um... Okay! Good for you... I mean that's sad." She said and closed the door in his face without listening to him.

He smiled at her and left from there. She was never this happy before. She started dancing, seeing her reflection in the mirror.

At midnight, Lucia was sleeping but she was disturbed when she heard a scream like someone was calling her, screaming her name.

"Is it Lucifer?" She thought and stood up from her bed. She looked outside the window. The moon was covered with clouds. Reddish-colored clouds.

She was looking outside when she again heard a scream, and this time she was sure, this was Lucifer's scream. Like he was in pain, in severe pain.

"Why am I hearing this? Is it a dream?" She thought to herself and opened the door of her room and made her way outside, following his scream.
