A month had passed after that fateful day, and Nicholas became even more gloomy and colder. Even his men and the servants in his manor began to instinctively avoid him whenever they saw him approaching.

If the previous Nicholas was akin to an ice prince, then the current Nicholas was a thousand-year-old ice emperor. His frigid and deathly glares alone could make your heart skip a beat, beating wildly in your chest, and cause your legs to shake in your boots.

His usually expressive eyes looked bleak and dark like a bottomless pit. He was in his manor all the time and was always training himself in the most brutal way possible.

He had found a book that was in the forbidden area of the library and had searched for how to break a spiritual seal. He then began to break the seal placed on him by himself.

He had decided to invest in himself. Nicholas realized Luciana was someone who took responsibility seriously, and he could only have her if he was strong enough to keep her people safe.

She loved her people and country too much to think about her own happiness.

~~~

Luciana stared at her reflection in the mirror and saw the fading rash on the side of her face. She pulled out the scroll she had hidden in a corner of her bedroom.

She read through the law that would help her get her freedom once again, and a look of melancholy flashed past her eyes.

She had decided to ask for a divorce from David. She planned to find a seminary in a faraway place after finalizing her divorce so that she could live in seclusion.

She wasn’t doing this for Nicholas; it was for her own peace of mind and to atone for her sins against David.

Recently, thanks to the rash, David hardly visited her, but her visions had become more frequent, which was very worrying.

In her vision, the two princes were fighting fiercely, and everything in their surroundings looked broken. Her vision was always about 20 seconds long.

A large hall resembling that of the crown prince’s hall had broken furniture all over, and it seemed as if a hurricane had passed through the place.

It always ended with Nicholas on his knees and David holding a sword above him, about to stab him through his heart, but she always came back to her senses before that happened.

She didn’t know why, but she had a feeling it had something to do with her, and it also didn’t feel right that Nicholas, with all his super strength, was the one looking beaten and battered.

Luciana wasn’t sure if her visions were correct, but she only knew one thing: it was closer to the truth. That was why she needed to leave; if she was no longer in the picture, nothing like that would happen.

With the help of her maids, Luciana got dressed and made her way to David’s chambers. It was time to talk to him about her wish to divorce.

~~~

"Your Grace, the prince is not in his chambers. Maybe you can return and come back later?" The eunuch said, his gaze looking suspicious.

"When would he be back?" Luciana asked. She had seen the strange look on the eunuch’s face but had acted oblivious.

"I think I saw the crown prince heading in the direction of the main garden; he should be the..." A servant who was just arriving at the entrance and heard the crown princess’s words had said, but before he could complete his statement, the eunuch interrupted him.

"No way, the crown prince left for a meeting with the ministers a while ago; you must have seen wrong."

The eunuch looked flustered, causing a look of understanding to flash through Luciana’s eyes.

’Was David hiding something from her?’ She thought. Luciana plastered an understanding smile on her face before she nodded.

"I will return to my quarters. I need to speak to the crown prince about an important matter. Come and find me when he arrives," she said to the eunuch and turned to leave.

Luciana walked together with her maids until they reached a certain spot in the palace before she commanded authoritatively.

"Don’t follow me from here onward," she said, and even though her large entourage of maids and guards was reluctant, seeing the intimidating look on the crown princess’s face, they all responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Taking a different route, Luciana made her way to the main garden to search for answers. Upon reaching there, she didn’t see anyone in sight and was surprised.

’Did she mishear, or could it be that the eunuch was indeed telling the truth?’ Luciana thought. She was just about to go back in the direction she came from only to hear some sounds coming from behind the garden.

Luciana remembered there was indeed a separate greenhouse behind the garden and decided to go and look. She approached where the sound was coming from to see what was happening, only to finally see her husband, David, with another woman.

No, the right words would be other women. There were about three girls, and they surrounded David like bees. If Luciana hadn’t seen it herself, she wouldn’t know David was into such a fetish.

Luciana didn’t know the girls, but she was sure they were maids from their discarded dresses on the neatly kept grass.

David’s eyes were closed with his head rolled back as he rested in a reclining chair. He was half naked with his robes parted to the side, showing his chest and shoulders, which were being massaged by two girls standing by his sides.

The two girls weren’t just massaging David; they were kissing his shoulders, neck, and nipples as he lay there as if he were sleeping.

He would occasionally spank the girls on their buttocks, and they would moan as if they were enjoying his harsh treatment.

The girl who was on her knees in front of David with her mouth wide open as her head went up and down on his erect manhood as if she wanted to swallow him whole was what looked truly shocking.

David’s hand held the girl’s head down, pushing it onto his cock and urging her on as she choked on it without letting go.

Luciana’s feet felt heavy as she froze on the spot and watched the scene unfold.

After a while, David began to groan from the pleasure as his slap on the girl’s butt cheeks became harsher. She whimpered and moaned. Whether from pain or pleasure, Luciana had no idea.

She realized from how David began to thrust his hips upwards and mercilessly pounded into the girl’s mouth and his hands painfully gripped her hair and moved her up and down his cock that he was near his release and turned away, not wanting to humiliate herself and be seen by them.

Taking slow steps, she retracted her steps as quietly as possible. However, she didn’t watch where she was going and tumbled forward. She was about to fall when a hand came around her waist and prevented her from falling.

Her breath hitched as his familiar scent enveloped her, and she stared into his piercing dark hazel eyes. She wanted to speak, but he placed a finger on her lips and gestured with his eyes that David could hear them.

One could feel the sparks between the both of them even at that little gesture.

If Luciana from Gloryland had seen this scene, she would have realized the scene she had seen in the mirror when the woman pretending to be the first Princess Luciana spoke to her in her dreams was entirely different from what had actually happened.

Nicholas tugged Luciana away from the scene and let go of her when they reached a secluded part of the palace.

He had been noticing Evelyn’s disappearance and strange behavior recently, and he had followed her when he saw her sneaking out of his manor this afternoon.

He didn’t expect to run into Luciana too. Seeing her one month after she stood him up filled him with countless emotions, but he tried to keep his calm and let go of her when he saw they were out of earshot.

He began to walk away from her without saying any words, only to hear her say, "Wait!"

Her voice was low, and he could have ignored it, but he was a fool, a fool due to her, and so even though her voice was low, nearly negligible, he had heard it.

Maybe...just maybe, a part of him was waiting and hoping she would call him back.

Nicholas stopped, but his back was still facing her; he didn’t want to turn and face her. After all, he knew how cruel she was when it came to him. He didn’t want to hope for too much.

"I...I am..."

"Can’t you speak properly? I don’t have all day!" Nicholas snarled, turning to face her and causing her to flinch at his harsh words.

"I...I... I just wanted to know if you were alright; you don’t need to act so angry," she said in a low voice, her expression looking like someone who had been misunderstood. There was an aggrieved look on her face.

"Do you care? Why don’t you just admit you wished I had never appeared in your life?" He spat, his tone full of venom.

"What is wrong with you? Why are you acting like this?" She also asked back with equal intensity of anguish in her voice.

"You dare show me anger? What did you expect?" he asked.

"I’m sorry," she said in a low voice, and that was all it took for his stupid heart to start beating wildly again in his chest.

"I hate you, Luciana!" He declared.
