<h4>9 Chapter 9</h4>


    A shiver went down my spine. The way he said it and the look in his eyes told me he was serious.


    "Why are you shocked? If I can beat you and kill you then why not burn you?"


    My throat went dry and I couldn''t bring myself to say something. Sighing, he stood up and left without a word.


    I didn''t see him for the rest of the day. He didn''te for breakfast or lunch and when it was time for dinner I asked one of the guards where he was.


    "His Highness went on a business journey, he won''t return until tomorrow," He exined.


    Even if he was angry, he should have told me. Yet another night I slept alone, but instead of feeling relieved, I felt lonely.


    When I woke up in the morning the first thing that came to my mind was Lucian. Was he still on his journey or had he already arrived?


    "Has his highnesse yet?" I asked the maid while shebed my hair.


    "No your highness" I sighed in disappointment. What if he was still angry and decided not toe?


    A knock on the door made me jump out of my chair. Lucian!! Maybe a maid hase to inform his arrival but no one opened the door. Strange.


    "Come in," I said and the door opened.


    "Who are you?" I heard the maid ask. I turned my head and gasped.


    "Lydia!! Ylva!!" I yelled running and hugging them like a little girl


    "Mydy please you shouldn''t hug us" Ylva pleaded but I Ignored her.


    "What are you doing here? How did you get here?"


    "His highness brought us here," Lydia said. Lucian did? "He seems to really care for you" Suddenly I felt bad for fighting with him.


    "But it''s not allowed. How did father allow that?" I asked confused.


    "We really don''t know mydy." I wondered what Lucian did to make father let him take his maids. It''s something that is never allowed. Anyways I was very happy that I wasn''t alone anymore. Dismissing my maid I sat with Lydia and Ylva and told them everything that happened since I came here.


    "So you are still a virgin?" Ylva asked shocked. "He must be a nice man if he agreed to wait." He is, sometimes. I didn''t tell them about the part where he said he would burn me. I was still confused about what he meant by that.


    When it was time for lunch I went to the dining room expecting Lucian to be waiting there but he wasn''t. Was he avoiding me? I just lost my appetite.


    "Where is his highness?" I asked a guard feeling like a desperate wife asking for her husband all the time.


    "His highness is in his study and don''t want to be disturbed." Ignoring him I went to the study. I opened the door and walked in without knocking. Nobody was inside as I walked in and looked around. My eyesnded on a letter on his desk. Out of curiosity, I opened it but there were only a few words written on it.


    ''Watch your back. Death ising.''
