Chapter 54
Helios‘ p.o.v
I swung my hand ready to give my first strike, that was until I was held back. The magic was weaker than mine and I could easily break out of it but Emily’s voice stopped me.
“Don’t be stupid Helios, you know what that would do to Lucia!” she yelled me. she rushed into the cell pike she was on fire, breathing heavily.
“what’s the point! If she is going to die either way, why does this sick bastard get to live?” I looked at the bastard who had the audacity to keep growling at me.
He really deserved to die.
“really? You don’t even want to give her a chance?” There was a pause from her. But I didn’t turn back to look at her. “you don’t even want to have a little hope that maybe, just maybe she would be free?” it sounded personal. Like she was talking about something more than just Lucia and I.
I looked at the mutt one last time before I let go of him. He wasn’t worth it.
I looked at him, making a mental promise to myself that I was going to look for a way to
break what ever it was that he had done and then end him.
I walked back, keeping my eyes steady on him as I walked out.
“That was brave of you Helios” Emily said as we walked out of the cell together, cheering
- me. That was not brave in the least.
I was falling apart, I didn’t know that I could feel this helpless. It was one thing that I
hadn’t felt in a long time, not since I turned eighteen.
‘Lucia, you are messing with my world, as much as i didn’t like it, I was starting to not want it any other way.‘ I thought to myself.
‘don’t tell me your little play toy is making you forget your kingly duties, sire” I stopped in my steps as I heard those words.
“it can wait now can’t it, Ermis” I ground my teeth knowing fully well that he could stand

in my place until I was able to put myself together.
He came to my front, standing in front of me with a smile. “Sister” he greeted Emily who
was standing slightly behind me.
“brother” she greeted coldly. It was no doubt that both of them were never the best of
friends.
“I am afraid not brother. Apparently they need the king and not the Prince” I took in a
deep breath. Throwing a tantrum in this state of mind was not going to do anything to
help my case.
“Fine, we would leave at twilight.” I made my way to go up to my mate.
“I believe I have to speak to you brother” he looked from me to Emily. “alone”
I nodded. I did not miss the shocked look on her face before she decided to let it go and
then go back to Lucia’s side.
“what Is it?” I arched a brow, patiently waiting for him to say what was on his mind.
“I know things are tough, but I hope you would be able to pull through” he looked
genuinely concerned for me.
It was weird since we were never close. I had kept him by my side because of his loyalty
and because he was my brother, but never had he ever shown concern for me this way
before.
“Thank you brother, I appreciate it.” I gave him a stiff nod and waited, in case he had any other thing to say.
“one more thing. A resistance has began. Apparently it started since, some few people in the kingdom who were opposing the throne. It was nothing serious before, but with you having a mate, it’s turned out to be something bigger.”
I waited. I knew what that meant, they would rather die than make her queen much less accept me having a mate. But I still waited to hear it. ” they want you to step down, or they would stage an attack on the castle. Ands with what happened today. Every one knows that your mate’s condition and would like to attack before she is crowned queen.”

Chapter 54
I felt my blood rumbling. Why couldn’t they understand that I had no control in this? Why couldn’t they just be happy for me?
I knew it was all just wishful thinking. Either ways, there was going to be a riot from the
start.
“Well, when ever they come I would be ready.” I said in the most confident voice, even though I felt far from confident at this point. I wanted nothing more than to crawl under
the bed and cry.
Something I did when I received the news to come live with my father.
“The castle is a very lonely place, trust no one” I remember how my mum rubbed my head
that day in order to comfort me. I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay by her side.
I sighed.
“Helios, whatever happens, we would be beside you. Your siblings” I nodded my head. As I
walked to the room, my head went over and over the events of today. There was no way it
was all a coincidence. I knew the people I approved to come to the event.
Something didn’t feel right.
I doubled my steps as I went to Lucia’s room. Two by two.
“Emily!” I stopped her from doing whatever it was she was doing. She looked at me with
eyes.
“Helios, is everything alright?” I gained composure immediately.
“Yes, very well so” I smiled a bit. Which was forced. “Constance, get me Constance. It’s
urgent.”
It see odd but for some reason I didn’t feel like any other person should be around Lucia right now. Not even my sister who was treating her. It was a gut feeling and I was going to stick to it. Q
“Off…. of course” I didn’t miss the way she hesitated, or the way she looked a little disappointed.
Something definitely was not right.
