Luke's POV:
When I was asked to follow the prince to the cell where we put the girl in, I couldn't help but feel angry that I have to meet the same girl who decided to kill my future king.
As I led the prince to the cell, he seemed to zone out and I was not allowed to enter the cell but after 5 minutes of calling him I decided to snap him out of whatever trance he was in.
At first he didn't say anything so I decided to take a look and that's when I was shocked to find that the same girl was Vivian, my girlfriend before she disappeared out of the blue...
Flashback:
When we were at least 5, we were the best of friends and later as we grew, we started having feelings for each other and when she discovered that her mother was killed by someone, I helped her get through the darkness that was consuming her.
I was going to propose to her but before I could do that, she disappeared and I didn't know where she went. At first I thought she was cheating on me with the prince since he was also looking for her and giving rewards to anyone who finds her but it turns out that he was in love with her but she never gave him a single thought.
I was relieved but I was terribly concerned for her cause I was supposed to stay by her side and let her depend on me for everything and never feel pain ever again in her life. Flashback ends.
I can't believe she's in these terrible cells and I think she notices who I am too because she had tears in her eyes and she was staring at me with regret and pain. I automatically wanted to help her but the prince was eyeing me suspiciously before he ordered the guards to release their future queen.
I was shocked that he announced her as their future queen because he never cared about a single girl in his life... I was more shocked when he also yelled at the guards to be gentle with her and give her the best room next to his for so she could rest peacefully and even threatened the guards that if he hears one complaint from her about how something is not done as she wished then they could forget about their lives.
I was going to check up on her but before I could prince Damian came up to me and told me that he wanted to talk to me in private. He dismissed all the guards and started talking about how I would be in charge of protecting her at all costs when he isn't around.
When I told him that I understood and was about to leave, he suddenly grabbed my arm and held it tightly and gave me the most menacing look and said that if I ever think about stealing Vivian, his love away from him, he'll unleash his full wrath and trusted guard or not that I would suffer tremendously and that it would be better to have no relation with her other than a simple guard and queen relationship (whatever that is).
After threatening me, he soon left leaving me to think about what he said. There was no way in hell that I would leave her alone when he's the goddamn idiot who ordered his guards to capture and chain her up in the first place. Who cares if my life is on the line, she is more important to me than my life and I am willing to let go of my life if it means I cans tay by her side. I am not letting Damian hurt her again.
