Chapter 356: Chapter 356 – Lucian
Among the respectful looking faces I saw on the soldiers, I saw soone with a very… definitive face.
A look that only spoke of ‘How much I hate you… I really, really hate you’ kind of.
The guy was 6.3 with a physically strong body and a charming face that spoke of righteousness. Literally the kind of ‘I speak for justice!’ guy that won would want as their prince to rescue them from the castle.
The guy stood at the center of the soldier’s lot, but the dark aura that radiated of him when he looked at made him quite distinct from the others. Sohow nobody else had noticed this.
“Lucian” Margaret looked at the guy’s direction and imdiately the guy turned to her, his hateful face instantly changing to love and respect, too quickly.
I looked at Margaret to see if she has any feelin… oh no. I turn to the guy and then at Margaret.
‘Shit… this motherfucker doesn’t know that he’s in the brother zone. That’s even worse than the friend zone.’
‘At least you can try to fuck you friend, what the hell are you going to do with your sister… unless you’re the incest type then it’s bad.’
The guy happily lapped towards her and stood like a puppy in love but Margaret only gave him a brotherly pat on the shoulder.
“Ouch”
They both turned to , one curious and the other instantly hateful again.
“Did sothing happen?” Margaret asked.
“No… just a mosquito.”
“Weird” Margaret said, “There aren’t much mosquito’s in Whitedon… it’s weird how you got bit by sothing on your first trip.”
Then she turned to the Lucian, “How’s the place been, Lucian?”
Lucian’s smile ca back as he said, “The soldiers in top gear, especially after seeing the pride of our city co back!”
Margaret didn’t think about his praise, “And how’s the situation?”
“The city is good and its people safe. Lord Gallacon has been quite hard in his work and the results show by itself.” His face hesitated a bit, which wasn’t overlooked by both of us, “There have been so bandit attacks outside, but they were quickly thwarted.”
‘Bandit attacks huh… the sa ones we’ve been dealing on our journey.’
Margaret had the sa thought as she frowned, “Hmm… we’ve also had so encounter with the bandits.”
Lucian’s face etched into worry, “What! Are you hurt? Did those bastards do anything to you?”
While I just shook my head at the guy’s blatant show, Margaret thought nothing of it, literally, “I’m fine. The bandits were all a bunch of low level fools. I had hired rcenaries because of such trouble. But even without them, and Henry could defeat them quite easily.”
“Speaking of which,” Margaret looked at , “Let introduce you to Henry.”
Lucian scowled with a happy face, “You don’t have to do that for , I already know about him.”
Margaret smiled, “So you’ve heard about the husband thing?”
“Yes… why did that happen?”
“Excuse ?” Both and Margaret raise a brow.
“I- I an, how did that happen?” Lucian quickly changed the question but I know the previous one was intentional.
“Well…” Margaret thought for a mont, trying not to sound it out as it is, “It’s a bit complicated, I’ll tell you about it later on.”
“O- Oh, yes!” Lucian looked as if he understood sothing, “Why am I asking you so many things, you should be tired from the long journey.”
‘You only asked her one question though and why is he acting so sus like that?’ I think, knowing the guy probably got so wrong idea in his head.
“Why don’t you go ahead and take a rest first?” Lucian suggested, “I’ll tell them to get your stuff in the room.”
“Hmm, alright and Lucian.”
“Yes” Lucian stood with ears perched.
“Can you show Henry his room?” Margaret asked and I sneakily laughed at how much Lucian was trying to keep his stoic face.
“Alright, I- I’ll show him the guest room.”
“What, no not that one. Those are for just guests. Take him to one of the bedrooms, one that’s preferably close to mine.”
“What! But… he’s still a guest, shouldn’t we… listen to the Lord first before doing that?” Lucian tried to find a legitimate reason to not sound jealous.
Margaret shook at that, “It’s okay, do as I say, my father would have also suggested this. Besides,” She placed a hand on my shoulder that slid down slightly, “He’s going to be my husband, he deserves to have the best in his own in-laws.”
While I felt quite happy by Margaret’s care, but Lucian on the other hand was seething in anger, which also made it even better for .
“I- I’ll do that.”
“Wait!” I stop them, “Shouldn’t I speak with your father first? It would seem disrespectful if I just go straight to bed without at least greeting him.”
“Yes, that would be the correct move.” Margaret nodded, “But according to the ti, I’m sure he’s out at the mont, right Lucian.”
Lucian nodded, “Yes, the Lord is out for a eting on the central zone.”
Margaret looked at , “See, I told you. I don’t know when he’s going to co back so it would be fine to rest in that ti, so don’t worry too much. You’ll et him later on.”
“Alright”
…
Lucian walked inside a long corridor leading to different places as I followed behind him. The guy was apparently showing to my room, but he was like 10 steps ahead of with a speed that seed to be uninviting.
As I followed him, we ca at the end of the long corridor before Lucian pointed to a faraway room, “That will be your room. It has a bedroom, bathroom and other things that you would need. If you want anything else, then ask soone.”
With that, he was about to leave, but I stop him.
“Woah!” I ca in front of him.
“What?” He asked with an obvious scowl.
“Where is Margaret staying at?”
“Margaret is on the central space.”
“And why am I here?”
“Because you are a guest.”
“Well, I happen to hear her say otherwise.”
Lucian’s frown deepened, “I know what she said but according to my experience, it would be best for you to be happy with what you got. Don’t worry about her, I’ll tell her you didn’t want to be any more disturbing than you already are.”
I sigh, ‘Alright, enough with the nice play.’
“Now, move. I have real work to do.” He tried to bypass , but with a slight pull from my hands, he was back to where he stood, with a bit shocked look at how easily I pulled him.
“Okay, listen here, Soldier/Lover boy.” I tell him placing a hand on his shoulder, “I get that you have a crush on my Margaret and it’s probably been like that for a long ti, so in so sense, you do have a right to be downright hateful at my sudden intrusion.”
Then my hand forces upon him as his face twists, “But when my future wife tells you to do sothing, you do it because you are just one of her fucking soldier. You do not get to do what you think is the best.”
“And you definitely Do. Not. Get. To. Tell. . What. To. Do. Understand!”
“Argh” Lucian scread in pain before I threw him aside and he panted. He looked at his shoulder and could feel his bones writhing in pain and turned hatefully at .
“Hmph!” Doing that he started walking back. Then he looked back and said, “Why aren’t you coming!”
I deadpan, ‘I’ll probably kill him before leaving here.’
