Nyx stood there, very confused about what was going on but still she felt the need to stay put to avoid turning the attention to her. The temperature in the room was decreasing rapidly, making her shiver as Lucien snapped his gaze to look at her.
"I don't think I need an invitation to attend the wedding of my fiance, now do I?" Emily said as she stared at nyx with a smug expression on her face.
Nyx mouth dropped open as she listened to what Emily had just said. So, she was getting married to a man who already had a fiancee? 'Lord kill me', she said to her self as she stepped out of Lucien's hold.
"Don't move a step, Nyx. Don't listen to whatever this sly bitch is saying" Lucien said. He had gotten rid of Emily years ago, but this time she had managed to slip back into his life and spoil a nice plan that he was working on.
"Tell her the truth Lucien, how you used and dumbed me! You're playing this girl Lucien, I fucking know you" Emily yelled but Lucien just stared at her unfazed. Nyx felt pity and felt hurt for both Emily and what she was saying. She turned to Lucien for an explanation and he gave her a reassuring nod.
She should believe him and not so stranger who was claiming he used and dumped her but could it be the truth or a mare facade.
She looked at Emily then back at Lucien, she didn't know who to believe but she chose to believe herself.
"Look here princess, I don't want to know what exactly is going on here but Lucien is now mine. We are engaged and getting married tomorrow, I don't needed anyone ruining that for us, including his ex who doesn't know when to show up" Nyx said as she crossed her arms under her breasts. Lucien smirked at her as he turned to Emily whose face had turned drastically.
"You bitch, I had done everything just to be with him and you think you can take him away from me? Heck no!" Emily said as she immediately tried pouncing of Nyx who saw it coming and moved aside causing the young princess to slam her face into the wall.
"Guards!" Lucien yelled as the door immediately swung open as the two guards standing outside, walked into the study. They looked like they had already been expecting his call and had walked in immediately he opened his mouth.
"Get rid of that trash and make sure she doesn't get near me or the queen during the wedding. Got it?" Lucien said as the guards nodded. He wrapped his hand around nyx's waist as he pulled he out of the study.
As nyx and Lucien walked down the hallway, they maintained an odd silence, each buried in their own thoughts as they walked. Nyx wanted an explanation and nothing more, what she had done back there could be referred to as defending her friend and nothing more.
"Aren't you going to say something after what had just happened?" She asked Lucien who stared at her calmly as they walked into their room.
"I thought you would already have an explanation. Women seem to be good at doing that with their head" Lucien said with a frown, Nyx burst out laughing sarcastically as she stared at him.
"I have no idea who told you that but I for one want an explanation why a god-damned princess was trying to attack me" Nyx said as she sat on the bed. Lucien sighed as he sat beside her, taking one of her small hands in his large ones.
"Emily was my past. I have a lot of things I'm not proud of in my past but as time goes on you'll find out what they are. I was meant to marry her but few days before our wedding I caught her sleeping with my step brother. I threw her out of the palace, because everything I see her, it's as if I'm reminded of what a horrible husband I'd make" Lucien explained as Nyx stared at him. Emily was the real bad guy here and nyx almost believe him. Nyx caressed his hand that her hand was in.
"I'm sorry about that but I'm sure you'll make an amazing husband, with time and patience I'm sure we'll get somewhere" Nyx said as she stood up, kissing him in the cheek. "You're not supposed to see me till later at midnight you know that right?" Nyx said giggling, she wanted to lighten the mood even though she had never seen Lucien smile.
"I know, I just couldn't bear to leave you alone after that stunt but also I can't wait to see you in that wedding dress" Lucien said as he brought nyx's hand to his lips, kissing it slowly as she held eye contact with her. Nyx blushed as she stared at him.
"Okay, now you can go" pulling him up playfully, she pushed him out of the room and blew him a small kiss shyly before closing the door. She placed her back on the door, she slid down it as she touched her racing chest.
Just few days with him and she was already feeling this way. Could this be love? She asked herself as she ran her fingers through her hair as she giggled softly.
Emily wiped her tears as she looked at herself in the mirror. She had done everything on her list trying to get Lucien back but it didn't work.
She had one more trick up her slip but that was really dangerous. Witches were forbidden from ever doing magic, but she would do anything just to get Lucien back and that means getting rid of nyx first.
"Sorry baby doll but no one stands in my way. Most especially a human" Emily said with a grin as she wiped her tears properly.
