Picture is not mine

Lilith's Point of View

---

I gripped Lucian's muscular bicep tightly as he talked to the flirty woman whose chest are going to spill out of her dress any moment.

Noticing my sudden tight grip, Lucian excused ourselves, and turn around so he's facing me. Stroking my cheeks with his warm hands, he asked, "What's wrong, sweetheart?" he smiled gently as he pulled me closer, hands on my waist.

"I-I don't like that woman." I said, "The Dutchess of Egra?" He asked back, I was quite shocked, "She's the Dutchess of Egra? Doesn't she has an infamous Harem?" I frowned immediately when Lucian smiked.

He nodded a yes, "She also got a couple or more husbands." I awkwardly smiled and tried to push Lucian. "Where are you going, honey?" he asked, letting me go from his arms. "I need to go to the toilet." and I really do, if I don't go now, I'll wet my dress.

He chuckled and left me alone.

I went into Lucian and my chamber, to find Valencia, sitting on the bed.

Valencia is Lucian's childhood friend. I think before I was with Lucian, they dated for a few months and ended it. It's very visible that Valencia still wants Lucian, ever since she met me, she decided that I was her enemy.

"Valencia! I'm sorry, but, I'm sure you're not allowed in here." I said, quite mad at her rude attitude as she ignores me.

"He'll be mine." She only said that, and went out, before she slammed the door, she whispered, "Tonight".

After that I finished my business in the bathroom, and noticed that the ballroom is very noisy.

I fixed my dress and began to walk my way down the stairs.

I heard the clock striked midnight, and saw Lucian with Valencia in his arms, holding her closely, while Valencia whispered something to my husband.

I decided to approache them, "Lucian..?" I asked confused why Valencia was in his arms.

Until two guards grabbed my arms and started dragging me to back away from Lucian and Valencia.

"She stole my gowns and accessories! When I was on my way to the bathroom, I saw her rummaging through our wardrobe, Lucian!" Valencia literally screamed in Lucian's ears pointing at me, as Lucian's eyes narrowed.

"Check her belongings!" Lucian commanded his guards, and started to march into Valencia's room.

"Wh-What is going on?" I asked confused.

Lucian, Valencia, and a few guards entered Valencia's chamber and searched through her wardrobe and chests. They managed to find my blue, red, and black gowns, including my wedding dress, along with some jewelry Lucian bought for me.

"What is the meaning of this, Valencia?!" Lucian was mad, he addressed Valencia but was talking to me.

"What?! Lucian, it's me! Your wife, Lilith." I shouted to Lucian. While he just looked at me with pitiful eyes.

"Valencia. I know you loved Lucian, but you're way to obsessed in wanting him! He's mine, you should know that!" Valencia shouted back to me, "Lucian! I wanted her out of Askor, Immediately! She's done enough things to endanger me!" Now, Lucian looked angry.

"Lucian...!?" I'm still dumbstrucked.

"I'm sorry, Valencia, you've done enough." Lucian said, after that he commanded the guards to kick me out of Askor.

As the guards threw me out into the snow, the ground I fell on was actually sharp rocks, and it cut my knee.

"Don't step any of your ugly feet in Askor, unless I said otherwise!" Lucian turned around so his back is facing me.

"You've changed." He whispered.

~~

It was another nightmare about Lucian kicking me out of his Kingdom.

After a few weeks preparing for the war, the big day finally came. We're ready to go and fight.

I packed what was necessary, like my magic properties, like potions, elixirs, and stuff like that.

I put my cat, Jade, to hibernate with a sleeping spell, so hopefully she will not wake till I'm back. I pat his fur and give him a kiss, and heads out.

***

We all gathered in an empty field to finally say goodbye to the elderly and children, before marching towards the border to defend Idis.

I was placed on the support team, as I'm really good at healing magic, and have several healing potions. Most of the healing potions are given to the Warriors who will be attacking against the Askor Knights.

I wonder if Lucian is here.

After a while, finally the fight began, and several injured people are immediately taken to the Infirmary tent, to be healed.

Came one of the injured Warriors into the Infirmary, "He's here..! Lucian—..!" He managed to say before coughing out some blood.

If Lucian is here himself, he must have wanted something. Or someone.

"A-are you, the yo-young witch—" the warrior coughed, "from Askor...?" He continued to say, as I began to heal him, and saw him relaxed under my magic.

There's no doubt that Lucian wants me. But for what?

After healing the injured patients, I excused myself towards the battlefield.

If this war is caused by Lucian in effort to search for me, then I'll end this petty war.

***

I managed to get into the battlefield without getting attacked. It seems like we're losing to me, as Askor Knights are getting closer and closer to the border, led by Lucian.

When Lucian finally noticed me, he signaled his people to stop attacking.

"Valencia!" he shouted

Not that damned name again!
