Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 19

Lucia was standing in front of the mirror making her hair. As always, Alica came and took the comb from her hands and started combing her hair.

"Alice, it wasn't a dream. Last night, I saw a black shadow man in a fully dark place. He said I need to find where Lucifer is. He also gave me this locket telling me that this will help me." Lucia told Alice.

Hearing this, Alice's hands stopped doing their work and she thought for a moment.

Receiving silence in response, Lucia looked at Alice in the mirror.

"Alice, what happen to you?" Lucia asked.

"Lucia, this is the time you need to know everything." Before Alice could complete her words, a maid knocked on the door and came in. Lucia stood up and asked the reason for her arrival.

"Milady, everyone needs to come into the throne hall." She said and left.

"Lucia, the time begins. Whatever you need to do is for yourself and Lucifer. Don't trust anyone without us. You have seen everything before. Sir Leopold will help you on your way. Remember, I'll be always with you. If you need to run, run. No need to look behind you. This locket is very precious, don't lose this."

"What are you saying, Alice?" Without giving back a response, Alice left from there.

Lucia was on her way to the throne hall. She saw Eliana waiting outside the hall. Lucia ran to her and hugged her.

"Eliana, I'm scared."

"No Lucia, I'm here. No need to be afraid of anything" Eliana hugged her back.

Lucia told Eliana everything she dreamt about last night. Eliana told her that she'd help her no matter what.

They both went inside the hall and met Annabelle and Yasmine. They all took their seat. Fergus was already in the room.

Both two Prince Marcel and Adrian came in with priests. Royal people settled down and the priests started to give instructions.

Lucia didn't hear anything but the last line "Prince Marcel is being announced as the King of Whales."

Everyone was shocked. Priests left the palace. Fergus stood up and said "No, it can't happen. You can never announce yourself as a prince without Lucifer's presence here."

"Well, Fergus, I'm the king, and don't you dare to talk to the king like that."

"No, you are not the king. Nobody here wants you to be a king here." Fergus said standing in front of Marcel.

"I don't care, I'm the king and I can do anything I want. Adrian, do you have any problem with that?" Marcel yelled.

"No, brother, I don't have any problem with this. You deserve to be the king." Adrian said taking his side.

The news of Marcel being a king spread like fire in the forest. This day Lucia spent roaming here and there and thinking about what to do. Alice was nowhere to be seen.

The next day, Marcel gave the notice to find Lucifer alive or dead. He yet didn't know about the thing between Lucifer and Lucia.

Annabelle and Yasmine were not allowed to meet Lucia and Eliana because they were not happy with the decision.

People started searching for Lucifer in every corner but no one was able to find him.

In the evening, Marcel was passing in front of Lucia's room and suddenly he stopped on his way. He knocked on the door. Lucia opened the door and he came in.

He looked around her room and turned to face her "You are very close to Lucifer if I am not wrong."

"Yes, I am very close, you can't even imagine," she said looking into his eyes.

"I swear, if I catch him, I'll give him a deadly painful death you can't even imagine. You are going to see my worst side, Lucia." He said holding his hands at the back.

"This will never happen" Lucia smiled.

"I find and you pray," he said and left.

He said and Lucia panicked.

Lucia went to Elaian's room and told him everything he said.

"Eliana, I'm going to find Lucifer," Lucia told Eliana.

"I'm also going with you," she said.

"No, you can't. You have Fergus here. Take care of him." Lucia held her hands.

"Lucia, Fergus is not here. He's in Zhou kingdom to get help. No one knows and you are like my sister and I can't leave you at this point."

Lucia nodded and decided to leave at night. She wanted to tell this Alice but she was not there. Lucia thought Alice knew everything as she told her that she could leave anytime she needed to.

At night, Lucia secretly went to Eliana's room and was ready with the required needs. Lucia took her and tip-toed downstairs. She reached the stable where horses were tied.

Suddenly, her eyes locked on Cruella. She untied her form and they both escaped from the palace.
