When Beauty Destroys The BL World

To Him

Irene get ready the stuff she will bring to the palace. Some of the stuff that belong to the old Dacia is something that Irene deemed unnecessary to bring.
Suddenly there's a knock on the door.
"Come in."
It is the duchess. She brought a wooden chest with her.
"Tomorrow is your big day....so I want to pass on you something of mine." The duchess then open the wooden chest, revealing a diamond necklace inside.
Irene gasp to see it.
The duchess smile brightly as she put it on Irene.
"It been in our family for generations. It was passed down to my mother, then to me and now to my daughter. It looks beautiful on you." The duchess compliments.
"Thank you, mom." Irene is moved with this gesture. Thinking how she wouldn't able to see her mother for awhile make her sad.
"Once I settled down in the palace, I will write to you. So mom, you must write back to me."
Hearing her daughter request, the duchess then chuckles.
"Of course, I will."
"And I will find time to go meet you.We can go out sight-seeing in the town together." Irene suggested.
"Of course, that won't be a problem, as long as your husband gives you permission to do so."
When her mother mentioned that, it finally dawn to her that not only she will become the crown princess, but she will also gain another status.

A wife. Being the crown prince wife. Irene feels so surreal. All her life, she been too busy with studies and researched. She work hard to be medical student. So she never had the chance to have a boyfriend. Not that she wants to. Because that was never her priority. But now in this world, she who's never interact with the opposite gender nor having relationships with, will be getting married. How unexpected.

Seeing her daughter who seems to be in a deep thought, the duchess thought she is nervous.
"Don't worry, my dear. You already received the education of being the crown princess. All you have to do, is follow the rule and act decorum. I'm sure the crown prince will come to realise your hardwork." The duchess pulls Irene hand, as she stroke it.
Irene could only smile and nods her head helplessly. She knew that her mother had misunderstood her.

Meanwhile, in the temple. Michael received Nickolai arrival.
"Your highness." He greet the crown prince.
"How is he?" Nickolai asks.
"Still the same, your highness. I think he need time to recover. Lucas still couldn't accept the truth. That he keeps on dreaming about his late fiancée." Michael stated.
Nickolai then goes in to see Lucas.
Once in the room, Nickolai sit beside the bed.
He reach to hold Lucas head. Checking his temperature.
"Go bring the physician to check on him." Nickolai ordered. Michael then obeyed as he leave the room.
Nickolai turn to look back at Lucas. Looking at his pale face, make his heart ache.
"Lucas...." Nickolai uttered his name.
But there no response from him.

"It been so long...I never get the chance to see you." Nickolai talks as if he is having a conversation with Lucas.

"Tomorrow is my wedding day. The day that I have loathed is finally coming. How I wish there another way. I never wanted this. But now, I have to get through this."
Nickolai then reached Lucas face. He stroke it affectionately.
"How I wishes it's you..." He said in a lower voice.
"In the wedding, I will have to seal the vow...with a kiss. My first kiss. But I don't wish to have my first kiss with someone like her. I wanted it to be someone special. Someone I truly care about. So before I share a kiss with that woman. Please let me have this moment to have my first...with you."
Nickolai slowly approaches Lucas face. His lip met Lucas cold lip.
Something inside him is flaring. He want to deep further. To taste him more. But he shouldn't.
It took a lot of his strength, to pull himself away from the kiss.
When suddenly...
"Irene...."
Nickolai was stunned.
Lucas who is still feverish, is delirious calling upon the woman name.
"Irene...." Lucas once more uttered the name.
Nickolai fluttering heart just now turn to be cold. Hearing that name been called, is like a splash of cold water in his face.
Feeling hurt and betray, Nickolai then left the room. Michael who had just arrived with the physician was left confused.
