I...I was a bad wife, a useless one. Yes, I never gave anything to Lucian and there was nothing I could give him now either, on top of that because of my selfishness I could cause his death.
Klara was right, I didn't even offer him my body and got angry when he went to someone else. I was indeed selfish. I didn't have the right to be angry when he never got angry with me for not sleeping with him. The only thing I have done so far is being scared or jealous.
What really have I done for him? What great have I done so that I could tell him not to marry someone else because I am good enough? I couldn't say that because I wasn't.
"My lady? Are you alright? You look very pale." The maid who brushed my hair asked.
"I am alright." I said.
"Should I bring dinner? Maybe you are hungry."
"No, I am fine. I'll go to sleep."
I was running in the middle of the night through the dark woods where I could barely see where I was going, but I didn't care. I had to run if I wanted to survive if I wanted to see Lucian again.
"Kill her!"
I was running barefoot and my feet were bleeding and hurting but I couldn't stop since I could here they were close. I had to run faster or they would catch me.
"There she is! Bring her!"
No no no! please!!
I tried to run faster but my feet and lungs gave in and I fell to the ground.
The footsteps were very close and shortly after two hands grabbed my arms and dragged me on the floor.
"Your majesty, I got her." A man said.
"Good," A woman's voice said. "Love? We found her. What should we do with her?"
A tall man appeared from the shadows and put his arm around the woman's waist.
"Do wherever you want with her." He said in a voice that sent chills down my spine. Then he looked at me his eyes burning with what looked like the flames of hellfire.
"Fine kill her!" The woman said as her lips twisted into an evil smile.
The tall man walked toward me and crouched to my level. Grabbing my chin he lift my head up.
"I am sorry love, but you are not good enough." He whispered before he stood up and turned around to leave.
"Please Lucian, please don't leave me." I called but he didn't even look back.
"Lucian! Lucian!! Please don't leave. Don't leave me."
