Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 89

89 Chapter 29

It was late and Pierre should have gone to sleep but instead, he decided to drink. Sleep was not something he looked forward to these days especially with Lucian hunting him in his dreams, or more correctly his nightmares. Everyone around him were only making things worse by talking about Lucian all the time. Now even his own son claimed to have seen Lucian. Levi was probably just affected by the rumors as he himself was.

His brother could not be alive. He would not allow it. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

"Your Highness." A guard barged inside Pierres chamber. Pierre who was about to pour some liquor into his glass stopped halfways and turned to the guard.

"Didn't I say that I don't want to be disturbed?" He asked outraged.

"Your highness, prince Lucians men are gone."

Pierre stood up with such force that the chair fell backward.

"What do you mean gone?!" He asked.

The guard shook in fear. "They escaped."

"How can they escape?" Pierre yelled.

"I think someone helped them." The guard said looking terrified.

"Are you telling me now that my dead brother came back to life and helped them escape?"

Didn't sound logical but Pierre knew something wasn't right. There was someone who was trying to frighten him and he would find the bastard and make him leave this world in the most painful way.

The guard stood there shaking in fear. "I am not sure but someone or...something helped them out."

Something?

"And where are those who were supposed to guard the place?"

The guard shook even more as if he had seen something that terrified him to death and his face turned pale. "They are gone. We can't find them."

Pierre smashed the bottle on the ground making the glass shred into a thousand pieces. "I want you to find them and bring them alive or I'll deliver your corpse to your family. Do you understand?!" Pierre tried to hide his fear with anger.

The guard nodded and hurried away. Pierre fell back on his chair feeling defeated. Maybe his brother was alive. It would explain how Hazel disappeared and now even his soldiers. But how was that possible? Could Lucian really the devil's son?

"Your Highness, everything is ready. The rumors worked and people are now waiting for your return. To speed up the process we even spread rumors that Pierre is not mentally well to be ruling a kingdom and now the royal army are getting concerned. General Black has decided to visit to see if it's all rumors or not. That's when you need to strike and use your mind games on your brother." Julian explained.

"I don't need to do much. Pierre is already losing his mind."

"Good. General Black is a very powerful man. He is the one who leads the royal army and everyone in the army is very faithful to him. He is the one to impress. Once he loses hope in Pierre I'll introduce you to him."

Lucian nodded.

"And yes, don't try to use your tricks on him. Some people are just immune to it."

"Why?"

"I am not sure." Julian shrugged.

Would that explain why he couldn't read Hazel's thoughts?

Suddenly the door to his room swung open and Alexanders annoying sister stepped inside

"Alexander! I can't marry that...that man." She said with a wrinkled nose.

"Which man?" Lucian asked with the purpose to annoy her.

"Oh come on! You know who I am talking about. Pierre!"

"And why don't you want to marry him?"

"Because he is insane and no one likes him. You know I want to marry a charming man." She said crossing her arms and lifting her chin.

"Alright then. Pack your things. You can leave tomorrow with Jade. I need to stay here a few more days and take care of a few things."

She looked at him surprised. "Really?"

He nodded. "Oh god, thank you." She said looking up but then back at him. "I'll go pack my things. Don't change your mind." Then she left quickly.

Julian appeared again. "I'll send her brother once she is home."

The plan was to manipulate her brother into thinking that he was here and therefore he would never know that he had been gone for days.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night." He said and vanished again.

Alone again, Lucian wondered if his men reached home safely and since he had nothing to do for now he decided to go and look for them. He could of course teleport but then many questions of how he got there would arise so he decided to ride.

The first place he rode to was Lincoln's home and his wife almost died in shock when she opened the door and found him standing on the other end.

"Yo..your highness?" She reached her hand out to touch him and he took her hand in his. "You are alive."

From the way he surprised her Lucian knew that Lincoln was not home yet. "Yes, and so is your husband. He will be home soon."

Her eyes widened. "He is alive?"

Lucian nodded and her eyes teared up. "Is...is he alright. When will he be home?" Her voice broke several times as she spoke.

"Very soon. Take good care of him." Lucian said

She nodded.

"I have to go now. Take good care of yourself as well."

"You too. I am glad you are alive."
