Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 55

55 Chapter 55

Lucian didn't sleep well. His demon was restless, hungry and angry.

"Bring me Lincoln!" He told Lydia who was serving him breakfast.

She nodded and left. Shortly after Lincoln came in. "Your Highness."

"Did you find the seal?"

"No."

Lucian tried to keep his calm but his nails were already elongating and his body itched for blood. "Bring them to me.!"

Lincoln and Anum came back with Pierres soldiers. They got pushed down on their knees in front of him. Lucian stared down at them with arms crossed behind his back.

"So...you don't know where the seal is?" He asked.

They shook their heads.

"Then I have no use of you." Lucian said and slit their throats with his claws. Their bodies fell to the ground with a thud. Lucian grabbed the table clothes to wipe his hands off while the soldiers slowly bled to death.

"That was unnecessary You Highness. You stained the carpet." Lincoln said with a frown.

Lucian was amused. Lincoln still didn't fear him. "I didn't stain the carpet. Their blood did." Lucian said calmly.

"I beg of you to calm down." Lincoln knew Lucian wasn't entirely himself right now.

"I will Your Highness." Lucian mocked.

Klara stared at the necklace in her hand. She needed to go back to Hazel and she had nothing but the necklace to help her. But how? According to Irene the necklace would only help her if she was in danger and she wasn't.

Klara sighed. How would she go back?

"My Lady?"

Klara looked up. "Enoch? How...what are you doing here?"

He pointed at the necklace.

"But doesn't this work only when I am in danger?"

"It works when it senses that you need us."

"Oh..." She said relieved. "I just need to go back."

"This way." He said and she followed him. They went through the magic gate but this time she didn't fall when they arrived because Enoch had his arm around her waist and held her steady.

"Thank you." She smiled. Without a word he walked into the mansion and she followed him inside. He was walking so fast and Klara had a hard time keeping up with him. She wanted to ask where they were going but he looked so serious that she decided not.

He opened the door to a room and gestured for her to sit on a sofa.

"I'll Inform Irene you are here." He said and left.

Klara sat down with a sigh. Enoch was very strange. He never smiled, never waited for her to replay and looked very serious and uninterested all the time.

After a whiles wait Klara heard footsteps and shortly after Irene walked into the room. Klara stood up from her seat.

"Klara." Irene smiled and gave her a hug.

"Hi." Klara smiled nervously surprised by the sudden hug.

"Are you alright my dear?"

"Yes, I am fine thank you."

Hazel looked up. "Klara! You are already back." She said surprised.

"Disappointed?"

"Very much." She joked. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. No need to worry."

"And Lucian? Did you meet him? Is he alright?"

Irene laughed. "Let her sit down and breathe for a while Hazel."

"Yes I am sorry. Please sit." She said.

Klara sat down while Irene poured her a drink. "I met Lucian and I gave him your letter. He is alright."

Hazel sighed relieved. Irene sat down as well and handed the drink to Klara.

"Very well then. Shouldn't you go back home? You siblings must be very worried." Irene said.

Klara looked down feeling very guilty. She would go back home as soon as she made sure Hazel was safe. "Is there a way to take Hazel to Lucian?" She asked avoiding Irene's question.

"Yes there is. In fact, I am sending Hazel to Lucian tonight."

Hazel nodded.

Klara took a sip from her drink. Soon everything would be in place, Lucian would take over the castle and hopefully defeat his brother, Hazel and Lucian would meet and she would go back home. She missed home, especially Astrid but she feared her brothers wrath. He never took betrayal lightly and his time she knew he wouldn't forgive her easily.

"Why don't you take a bath." Hazel suggested.

Klara looked at her dirty clothes and hair. She really needed a bath. "Yes, I think I should."

"There is a little bath house with a hot bath outside the mansion. Why don't you go there. It's very relaxing."

Irene nodded, "Yes, I'll bring you some clothes." she said and left.

Hazel and Klara sat in silence for a while when Hazel finally spoke. "Thank you."

Klara was confused. "For what?"

"For helping us escape, for saving my life and for helping Lucian. I know it must have been difficult for you to do that. I know I am useless...I...I am not as brave or as strong or as beautiful as you. I really envy you but I am thankful to you as well."
