In the carriage, Nickolai carefully took off the gloves and mask on Dacia.

He watches his beautiful wife in his arm.

His heart melted at the sight of Dacia sleeping. She was probably exhausted, seeing how she doesn't wake up when he carried her, even inside this carriage.

This is the only time, he can finally see her being unguarded.

Nickolai lean down to her head and took the opportunity to sniff her scent.

It is a pleasant fragrance. A fragrance that is addicted to him. That makes him want to engraved that scent into him.

Slowly he move away.

Now, his gaze landed on her face.

From her well-shaped brows, long lashes, delicate nose then to her rosy red lips.

That beautiful....luscious lips.

Nickolai resist himself from gnawed her little mouth. Knowing full well, how it taste like...make it more unbearable.

He had to look away.

This is dangerous.

His desire for her, is getting more and more stronger.

He had to put away his thoughts. Just as he looks away, his gaze landed on her wrist.

That bruised wrist.

Then he turn to look at her bandage shoulder.

Nickolai felt the guilt inside his heart.

Holding into her wrist, he carefully pull it to his lip.

Kissing it.

Hoping to somehow erase the mark on her wrist.

Nickolai turn to look at her, afraid his gesture awaken her.

Seeing she still in a deep sleep, he smiles in relief.

A moment later, he frowned.

Nickolai realised that his feelings for her has changed. He can't treat her the same way he used to.

And lately, he wasn't sure what to place Lucas in his heart.

All he knows, he doesn't want to lost neither of them.

With that thoughts, Nickolai found himself in a jumble.

At the palace, Irene awake from her slumber.

Her eyes fluttered open.

Looking around to see her own chamber. Irene sit up from her bed, wondering how she gets here.

Libby happened to came in, to see her awaken.

"Your highness..." Libby approaches her.

"Libby, how did I ended up here?" Irene questions.

"The crown prince...he carried you back here, your highness." Libby eyes sparkle in excitement as she told her.

Hearing that, Irene was surprised. She couldn't even imagine that narcissistic, egoistical and maniac male lead would do that kind of act towards her.

Seeing the excited Libby, Irene just smiles timidly.

Irene then realises her wardrobe has changed to her nightgown.

"Who changed my wardrobe?"

"Me, your highness. The crown prince told me to clean you up and change your attired." Libby answered.

Irene hold her head, thinking how exhausted she must be for being unaware of her surroundings. Even a tiniest sound nor movement didn't seem to awaken her from her sleep.
