36 The Queen part 1 (2/2)

Today.

Mia entered the small room slowly to make no noises. The room was very simple, very different from the old life in the castle, but here they were safe from damn traitors or coward liars.

Here, her mother was safe because no one knew that she was alive. Mia was also always discreet and constantly was with the hood on so she wouldn't be recognized.

And as most the people did not know the princess, as she spent almost all the time in seclusion, everything was safe.

Mia looked at her mother lying on the bed and couldn't help but be sad. The splendid Queen Cassidy was very different now.

She no longer had that beautiful and healthy olive skin but pale skin, which gave the impression that she was very sick. Her beautiful black hair from before was now as white as an old lady's.

Mia felt a pain in her chest to see that her mom's condition was becoming worse, but then she thought positively. Now, she had the money and could cure the damned poison that afflicted her beloved mother.

While Mia thought about healing her mother, Cassidy spoke kindly, with her eyes still closed. ”You came back, my sweetheart. Come and hug this old lady...”

Mia quickly approached and hugged her mother on the bed. ”You are not an old lady, mother! I already got the money for the antidote so soon you will be as beautiful as before.”

Cassidy knew that an antidote to such a rare poison must be very expensive. And how they lost all their goods to the mercenaries and guild, her daughter alone would not be able to collect all the necessary money before she could take it any longer.

”Mia, I love you, but you have to get on with your life. I know my time is almost up, and you have to accept that I won't be here much longer...”

Mia understood why her mother was not very hopeful. She tried to buy this antidote before, but even with a lot of money she couldn't. But now, the chest Lucien gave her was more than necessary. It was a really big fortune.

Mia took one of the cookies she bought and gave it to Cassidy on her mouth. ”You don't need to worry, mom. I met a man, and he gave me a lot of money... He will also protect us from any harm.”

Cassidy did not accept the cookie and was very angry at Mia's words. ”Mia, you should not have done this.! This man just wants to take advantage of you! I don't want you to waste your happiness with a stranger's lies.”

Mia expected such a reaction and wasted no time taking the big bronze chest from her storage ring. The chest fell to the floor, making a loud noise as gold coins and jewelry fell to the floor, surprising Cassidy.

”He said he wants to marry me and gave me all the money he had. You can trust him just as I do.”

Cassidy had to agree that someone who would give that amount of money should have serious intentions, but she was still concerned about her daughter's happiness and couldn't help but imagine an old and fat man...

”Tell me everything about this man, Mia. Is he a good person?”

Mia was confused when her mother asked her to describe Lucien. She saw him as the most perfect man of all and had no idea how comparing with others.

”Lucien is the most handsome man... But he is not a good person... at least not for others, but to me, he is the best!”

Mia told the whole story of how she met Lucien and did not hide anything, even what they did in the bath. She loved her mother very much and would never hide anything from her.

Cassidy heard the whole story and was not happy when she learned that he attacked her, and then he takes her for a forced bath.

But Mia explained that everything she did was willing and Lucien didn't force her. She said that Lucien took her to the bath forcibly, but then she felt attracted to him and ended up wanting to do those things.

Mia also said that Lucien was very affectionate with her, and all they did was because she wanted to, and he didn't force anything ever. Cassidy didn't know what to think. Mia was young and should have easily fallen in love with a handsome boy.

But then Mia talked about how Lucien killed Light Empire soldiers and then adventurers who tried to attack her. Then Cassidy concluded that Lucien was cruel but that he loved Mia to go so far for her.

If her daughter had to marry the devil, who would protect her from any harm while she was happy, it wouldn't be bad. ”He seems to be interesting, Mia. Let me know him soon to see if he is truly worthy of my most precious treasure.”

Mia kept talking about Lucien and that she would bring him to visit her soon, but then her mother stopped talking and closed her eyes, making Mia worried.

”Mother! Are you okay?” Mia tried to wake her mother, but she was still.

Mia checked Cassidy's breathing and realized it was fragile. She then checked her pulse, which was also almost stopped.

”Mother!! Mother!!! Mother!!!!”

Mia went into despair and was very afraid. She should think about calling a doctor, but the first person who came to her mind was Lucien.

”Lucien! Yes, Lucien must be must save us!”

A girl as in love as Mia would not have rational thoughts. There were many complications in calling a doctor as some tried to reveal that the Queen was still alive, and Mia needed Astrid's help to keep them secure.

Mia couldn't trust almost anyone, but Lucien she could. She trusted him entirely and thought that nothing could hurt her or her mother while Lucien was with her.

Mia didn't think twice before going to find Lucien while she thought a lot of him in her mind.

---------------------------

Lucien was in the middle of a sensual game with Ravenous. He was kissing her intensely as she tried to get rid of his tight embrace.

Both were enjoying each other a lot. Ravenous could not contain her excitement and sometimes moaned Lucien's name.

”LUCIEN! LUCIENNN!”

But then Lucien heard a different voice calling his name. He recognized the voice instantly and questioned Lust. ”Lust! Did you hear? It was Mia's voice. How is this possible?”

Lust knew almost nothing about the tattoo, which Lucien could put on the girls, but she already had some information she got with Sloth and others while watching Lucien and Mia.

”You can mentally talk with her just like you and me. But Mia's tattoo may not yet be completely complete as you didn't take the final step.”

”She must be very emotional now and thinking a lot about you; then it activated the mental communication.”

Lucien could feel by Mia's tone that she was desperate, and he was furious. He didn't know how to deal with the feeling that comes when someone he loved was suffering.

All he could think about was running to help Mia and kill anyone who got in his way. ”I'm coming, Mia, just wait a minute!”
