On entering the dungeon, he was once again shocked that they had kept his son in a dungeon for peasants and not the royal dungeon, in a matter of few minutes, they stood in front of his cell and on opening the door, there eyes all widened at what they saw,
"Father..."
Eliza nearly fainted, she had to grip on to Oliver before she would loose her balance, and James staggered back, staring with mouth opened and Delcrov was both shocked and happy, he could have sworn that on meeting his son, he would be cold dead or maybe even became skeleton but his son was sitting on the floor looking really healthy like he just finished having a grand meal!! He just ran to him and hugged him tight, while Lucian rested his head on his father's shoulder and stared coldly at the three siblings who stared at him in utter shock, he grinned at them and they froze, could even feel the cold run down their spines as they stare into his emotionless eyes,
"He's gonna come for us....." Was all Eliza could whisper in fear,
And that was exactly what happened because in a matter of few months after Lucian was taken out of the dungeon, Oliver first died in a way no one really understood but James and Eliza knew better and knew the danger they were on,
"But he's just a little boy, how can he kill us?" James spoke in the private sitting chamber with Eliza, he was furious,
"Have you forgotten! Are you stupid..... He is the son of a witch and a first generation vampire, of course he can be strong enough to end us!" Eliza said shaking in fear, "He is a monster! Or how can he survive two months in the dungeon without food or blood! Surely the rats in the dungeon can't just offer themselves to him to feed on everyday!"
She just didn't understand, she could feel herself going crazy at what that little wizard was going to do to them! She suddenly turned looking around, because it was as if she felt someone's eyes on her,
"Calm down, Eliza..... He might not be the one who killed Oliver, he might have just died a natural death!" James tried to reason with her, finding it difficult to think that Lucian did.
"You really are stupid, James!" Eliza glared at her brother, "Oliver could just die like that?! A first generation vampire died of a slight illness?"
Eliza was right, that just couldn't be, James thought to himself but still can't believe Lucian did until the night he was asleep in his chamber when suddenly he felt he was being chocked to death, opening his eyes he saw him..... Lucian..... And he breathed his last breath,
"Brother please, tell him to stop right here! I don't want to die!" Eliza stood in front of Delcrov in his chamber, while he continued signing on the papers in front of him, he looked up at his sister who looked as if she had lost her sanity because of the deaths of their brothers,
"Who are you speaking of, Eliza?" He asked pinching the bridge on top of his nose,
"Lucian of course... He.. he killed Oliver and James-"
"Come on Eliza, stop with this nonsense, how can you say that Lucian did that? You heard the royal physician say that they both died of the same illness.... It was a natural death," Delcrov frowned watching his sister, maybe he would need to lock her up in her room till her senses went back to normal,
"I'm telling you, Delcrov. It's him! Believe me! He's coming for me next! He saw me burn his mother alive!!" Eliza kept saying like a mad woman, it was around then that the physician came in the King's chamber because he had been called to do a check up on the King, to make sure he didn't have the illness too and wasn't going to die like his brothers,
"Greetings my King....." He bowed and then turned to Eliza, "My Lady...."
But suddenly Eliza grabbed him by the collar, "You.... Did he pay you?! Are you working for him! He must have payed you to lie! You traitor!! You will rot in the dungeon for killing my brothers! And now you want to kill the King!!" She yelled as she pushed the royal physician harshly for the old man to fall to the ground,
"What are you doing, Eliza! Behave yourself!" Delcrov yelled, shocked at his sister's lunatic behavior,
"But I'm not lying! He's a liar," she glared at the scared old man on the floor and was about to go closer to him to harm him more but Delcrov held her,
"Guards!!!" Immediately the royal guards rushed in and grabbed her as she struggled looking at the old man on the floor and glaring daggers at him, "Take her to her room and lock her in, do not open the door unless I say so!" The King ordered and the guards immediately did as they were told,
"No! You can't do this to me, Delcrov! He's gonna come for you too! Don't let that old rat touch you! He wants to kill you too!!" She kept saying as they pulled her away.....
The guards took her to her room and locked her as told, she banged on the door,
"You can't do this! I'm your princess, I command you to open this door at once!" But no one answered her, thinking she was just crazy,
That night she couldn't sleep and just kept pacing around, looking around every corner or the room in fear, any slight noise scared her..... She kept pacing around when suddenly she felt her gown being pulled, she froze immediately, shaking as tears rolled down her cheeks,
"Please..... please don't harm me! Please I beg you Lucian, I never meant to harm your mother... Or you!" Seeing that no one was replying her, she slowly turned around and her eyes widen when she saw that it was her gown that got stuck to a vase of flower, in annoyance she picked it and smashed it on the floor with a scream and the sharp edge of the vase flew and slit her cheek, making blood gush out, she winced in pain and as she tried to move back, she stepped on the pieces and it pierced into her feet, and she cried harder,
Then suddenly heard a light chuckle coming from the window behind her, on turning, she saw the monster grinning at her, sitting on her window, he climbed down and walked to her, and her eyes widen,
"You are such a mess, aunty... Do I even need to kill you or you'd just die for yourself," he laughed out as he stared at the blood stains on the floor before looking his aunt in the eyes and the woman shook in fear,
"Please... please Lucian-"
"I thought you've done that before... Pleading to the vase but since you got no response, shouldn't that mean your pleading was not accepted and now see....." He said staring down at her face where the sharp edge of the vase tore and then the blood stains on the floor, "The vase punished you," he said with a deadly grin on his face,
Eliza suddenly fell on her knees, "Please have mercy, Lucian...."
