Lucien Zańe; power of the throne.

UNIMAGINABLE QUESTION.

(Trigger Warning: Suicide attempt, talk of blood.)

Three years later; Lucien is twenty eight and his daughter is two.

Lucien stood above reddish, and dirty brown grass. He kept his head down and his hands in his pockets. His eyes moved down the view in front of him and there she was. Lucien lays flowers beside her grave, Blissa's grave. It was almost demolished because of the King's actions from when he was younger. Lucien grew a beard and wore sunglasses. He took them off and began to speak. "I just have one more thing to say." He kneels down and stares at the grave. His voice was deep and he spoke slowly, unsure of his own words. "You did deserve what you've gotten. You were a vile person, even bad at being a bad girl. I will admit, since it's just you and I, I did form a love for you, Blissa. You were beautiful but your heart was immensely greedy and revolting. I respected you and you came into my home, threatened me and expected to live. Now, you lay in dirt with your wank of a boyfriend and you have to remember everyday, every second, of every year, that I won. I defeated you in the home you so stupidly threatened me inside of. We could have been happy together. We could have ruled the world together. I would have given you anything you wanted, even the throne, but you chose to side with my enemy and disrespect me." Lucien took a deep breath and kissed his two index fingers and placed them on her grave as he stood up. "Goodbye, love." He headed for the limo and stopped to look at Vance's grave. He puts his sunglasses on and snickered, getting into the limo. He shuts the door and Brix eyed Lucien. "What?" Lucien asked his butler. "Well, you didn't say anything to Vance." Brix told Lucien which made the King laugh. "I doubt he's even in there." Lucien snickered again and told Philip to drive. "Where too, sir?" He asked and Lucien bit down on his bottom lip, thinking to himself. "Tiffany de loúrs." He placed his hands together and looked out the window. "Why?" Brix asked Lucien and Lucien turned to look at him. "Why what?" He asked, confused. "Why are we going to that store?" He asked the King, "You'll just have to wait and see." They soon arrive at the fancy store and Lucien gets out of the limo and makes his way inside. A few girls squealed at his appearance "Evening, ladies." He smirked at them and they giggled. "Can we have a picture, King Lucien?" Lucien lifts his eyebrows up, "Photos of me are very confidential but have my people speak with your people and we can arrange something." They nod at each other and he walks to the back of the store and rings the golden bell. "Hello." Said the man and the King's face tenses up. "Well, well, well. If it isn't King Lucien Zańe." Lucien placed his hands together on the counter. "Victor Bower." Blissa and Beyoncas's father. "So, why am I hearing that the great Lucien has finally found redemption?" The King nodded his head, "Will this so-called redemption bring back my daughters?" Lucien shook his head at the man's question. "If you really want.." Lucien leaned in over the counter, "I can put you in with them." Victor licked his lips in disgust and the two men stared at each other with hatred. Victor broke eye contact and the silence once a customer came over to check out. Lucien moved out the way for the woman and she pulled out her wallet. The King stops her and hands Victor three hundred dollars. "You better watch your back." He whispered to Victor and then made his leave. Philip opened the door and he got into the limo. "What?" Lucien said to Brix who looked angered. "Visit your parents, they've been on my mind lately." Lucien lifted his eyebrows, "Excuse me?" He laughed but Brix did not. "They are your family, King Lucien." Lucien shrugged, "Don't start with me, Brixton. They're shunned from my life." Brix shouted, "That's nonsense!" It startled Lucien, and he leaned over to him to stare at him. "You watch your tone with me, Brixton. I am not your friend." Lucien looked at Philip, "Drive me to the Zańe manor." He looked out the window again and lit a cigar as they drove. It was a very silent and very long drive. Lucien pulls his gun out from under his seat and cocked it back. "Stay in the car." He gets out and heads for their backyard. "My son." The Queen was gardening the flowers. "Get your asshole husband out here." He heard a gun cock behind him. "Don't tell me you came to beg for us back." Lucien turns around and they hold their guns to one another. "Over my dead body." Andrew smiled at his choice of words. "My daughter will reign when I die. Luckily for her, she has a wonderful mother and a damn good butler to walk her through." The father eyed Lucien, "Why do you say that like it's going to happen soon?" He asked and Lucien shrugged, "You never know who you can trust." The mother crossed her arms, "How does it feel?" Lucien asked them both. "How does what feel?" The Queen asked him and he put his gun away. "Knowing I'm getting everything I've ever wanted without two bitches that call themselves my parents. I truly am what they say, now." The father laughed, "A horrible son?" Lucien shook his head, "The King. The best King to ever live. The name Zańe sounds so powerful because of me. You two are worth a pack of cigars, and I already smoked you." He hands his father a twenty dollar bill and walks off their property and gets back into the limo. "How'd it go?" Lucien shrugged, "Thank you, Brixton. You're a fantastic butler." They both laughed. They cannot stay mad at each other, it's impossible. A few hours pass and Lucien is going through his daughter's closet as she screams for her necklace she threw at him and cannot find. "Lucia, please!" Lucien begged her to stop crying. "Daddy, no!" She whined, I guess she really wanted that necklace back. "It's just a necklace, okay? Daddy can easily buy you more!" He picked up the two year old and she yawned in his ear. "Don't you sleep enough? Go find a house to blow up or something." She laid her head on his shoulder and started falling asleep. He put her in the crib and walked out her room, sighing. Aria comes up to Lucien and wraps her arms around him. "She's sleeping again?" They laughed and walked away from the room so Lucia could sleep. They walked downstairs and Lucien held her hand. "What did you do today?" She asked him, "Well, I went to the cemetery..." They walk into the living area, "Why?" Lucien shrugged, "Two dead lovers I had to visit, that's all." He kissed her forehead and pulled out his phone. "I have to make a phone call." He walks away from her and goes outside and calls Candy. "Lucien?" She was confused as to why he was calling. "Put your beau on the phone, thank you." Candy hands Louis the phone, "Who is this?" Louis asked and Lucien chuckled. "Who else would it be? You only talk to Candy, Lindsy and I." Lucien cleared his throat, "I owe you an apology. I apologize for all the pain I've caused you. I'm not the biggest fan of you at all, however you are a part of Candy's life. While I figure out this good part of myself, you can be happy with your wife and enjoy her." Lucien ran his hand along the petals, "Goodbye, Louis." He hung up and twitched in disgust. "King Lucien." Laughed a manly voice and Lucien smiled and turned around. "If it isn't a pain my arse." The man gasped, "A beard?" Lucien nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Don't get hard about it." They both stared at each other and then embraced each other with a hug. "Lex Bates, it's been too long." He pulled away from the hug, "Last time we hugged you kissed me." They both laughed. "I told you I didn't come to chit chat." Lucien crossed his arms, "What did you come here for, mate?" Lucien asks his friend and watches him fidget with his fingers. "I just needed to see my redeemed meat before I leave." He nods at Lucien and he makes a confused face. "Leave? What do you mean to leave? Where are you going?" He asked him questions. "I came here to finally kill you, Lucien." Lucien placed his hand on his gun. "What?" They both draw their guns. "King Lucien, you and I were bound to end. Our hatred for one another would overpower any friendship you and I shared. It was a means to an all to pot." They grip their guns and then low music begins to play. "What is this?" Lucien turns around to look at the speakers in the garden. "Lucien.." A voice spoke and Lucien puts his gun away and turns around. "Aria?" Lucien looked down at her, she was on her knee. A few people gathered around like Brix with Lucia, Philip and Lex. "What is this?" He repeats himself, because clearly he was confused. A smile formed on her lips and Brix had tears in his eyes. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you. All the hardships, and pain we've gone through these last two years have been enduring and I wouldn't want to take on those challenges with anyone else. Will you marry me?" Lucien looked at Aria like she was absolutely insane. Forgive me if I don't know what to say, I just never thought of being asked this simple life changing question. Lucien looked at the woman until he knew what to say. "Thank you." Lucien takes her hand with his and leaned down to kiss the woman. The few people that gathered began to clap for them. "Hell yeah!" Lex shouts and everyone laughs. He pulled away from the kiss and smiled. He gazed at the woman who was being congratulated by everyone. Lucien's eyes wandered to Lex, and he held a crooked smirk on his face. "I was so good! You thought I wanted to kill you." Lex was laughing so loud, like it was the funniest thing ever. "Shut up, mate." They both laugh loudly.
