When Beauty Destroys The BL World

His Feelings

There is a fierce battle going on in the deep forest.
Soldiers fighting against a group of assassins.
The assassins were wiped out one by one.
Seeing how outnumbered they are, the remaining assassins tries to runaway.
As they try to escape with their horses, numerous arrow had been shot towards them. While others was shot, some skilled assassins manage to blocked the arrows.
Just when they thought they could escape, a spear appear out of nowhere hit the vital spot of their horses. The horses neigh in pain.
All the assassins riding the horses, fall off. With such impact falling off the ground, all of them groan in pain.
Soldiers then surrounded them. The assassins failed to escape.
A man then appear on his horse, rushes towards them.
As he reaches at them, he gets down from his horse.
One of the soldiers, bring the spear towards him.
"Your Highness."
He was the one who throws his spear towards the assassins.
That person is Crown Prince Nickolai.
He looks down at all the injured assassins.
"I heard that you managed to hurt the holy priest?" He asks with a hint of a sneer. Nickolai pulls out his swords as he pointed it towards them.
"Do you know how much pain he would have to endure?"
In a matter of seconds, he killed one of the assassins. Blood splashed over him.
All of the assassins fear for their lives as they try to stay away from him. But he just keeps approaching them. As he killed them one by one.
The soldiers just stand still, and blocking the assassins from escaping.
"No one even dares to hurt him under my watch. But all of you dares so. So I expected that all of you are seeking death!" He chuckled almost maliciously. One of the assassins even want to leaked information as exchange of their life.
However, Nickolai kill them all without any mercy.
He even prolonged their death to torture them. The sound of screams that filled in the forest was now surrounded by silence.

"Set off now. Let's not waste any more time." Nickolai then cleans off the blood from his sword as he gallops his horse with the soldiers follow him behind.

After hearing such proposal from Lucas, Irene ran off to Marcus's place. Seemingly that she's here, Irene then check out Marcus condition.
"It seems that you're feeling better." Irene carefully inspect his leg and temperature. Noting that his condition is improving.
"It was because the gentleman who's with you, he pay the old physician handsomely. That he dare not be careless. Now, because of his attentive care, my condition are getting better." Marcus explained.
He chatted a lot and was more lively now. Irene smile listening to his story.
"Thank you for the food, Irene." Marcy said.
"Don't mention it. I should take my leave now. Take care. I will come again, to see you two." Irene said bringing her huge basket full of supply.
As Irene bids farewells, she continues her journey.
Just as Irene was walking, she saw Lucas in front of her.
"Your holiness, what are you doing here?" She asked, feeling startled.
Lucas said nothing. He then reaches her basket from her back, to carried it instead.
"No, it fine..." Irene tries to stop him.
"Just let me carried it." Lucas insisted. Looking at his expression, Irene could only let him. Both of them walks in silence. Irene feeling awkward couldn't say anything.
"You left the tavern so suddenly, so I told Old Judy that I go look after you." Lucas suddenly said.
"Oh...." Irene recalled back that moment with him.
"I want to....I want to apologise for my recent proposal. It was so abrupt. I didn't realise how dismissive I was towards your feeling, that I make such decisions. I'm sorry." Lucas apologised.
"It's...it's alright, your holiness." Irene couldn't help but feel burden hearing the apology.
"All I want is...to show how grateful I was towards you. But I ended up offending you."
"It's alright, your holiness, I forgave you already." Irene said. Seeing how humble the male protagonist was, she didn't have the heart to ignore him. Lucas look at her with a sense of gratefulness.
"Irene, if I may be so bold...I want to be your friend. Can we be friends?"
Hearing his request, Irene then nods. She thought to herself as long as she not in the palace, the dukedom or inside the plot story, she finds that being friends with the male protagonist is not that bad at all. Both of them finally settled their feelings, feel at ease.
As they were walking, Lucas then looks at the basket that he carries.
"What's all of this?" Lucas ask.
"Curious?" Irene questions back.
Lucas nods his head.
"Well then, you just need to follow me." Irene said.
They finally arrive at the destination. It was a place where poor people live. As Irene attends to them, Lucas comes to a realisation.
Irene visit the poor people who can't provide food nor medication. She gave them treatment and some medicine. She even gave them some food to help them from starvation. Seeing this, something in his heart was melting down.
All of the people there thank them, as they leave.
A young girl came towards Irene, giving her a small piece of flower. Irene smiles as she accepts it. The girl then return back home, happily.
Lucas stared at Irene while she's looking at the flower.
Irene feels contented as she smiles. All the hard work she has done, feel worth it.
While, Lucas came to realize his new profound feelings.
