Chapter 13: Reason for previous Lucas's Death.

After thinking for a while Lucas came back to reality without knowing the changes to his mentality.

Then Lucas started to think what kind of punishment should be given to Lucy's grave mistake. Although there wasn't any harm done, if he was same a previous Lucas and followed her every arrangement then this mistake of her would have led to their deaths.

After thinking about the punishment for a while and thinking about one, he said to Lucy.

"Given your mistake, you should be given harsh punishment, since there was no harm, I will give you simple punishment. Will you accept it?"

Seeing that rather forgiving her Lucas gave her punishment, this further confirmed her suspicion.

"Just I thought his highness has changed."

"Why did his highness suddenly change?"

Although she was thinking all that, she replied to Lucas immediately.

"Yes, your highness. I will accept any kind of punishment."

Seeing her readily accept her punishment, Lucas nodded his head inside his mind and said to her with the same calm face he kept till now.

"Since you knew my age coming ceremony, then you might also know that once I leave this palace, then I have to face all kinds of dangers."

"The enemies might attack when I reach the chosen fief or they might attack on the journey towards fief."

"The latter might not happen as the king will send… no he has to send some troops to escort any prince to his chosen fief, as this is his duty and also ritual rules. So most likely enemies will attack us only after we settle down in the fief."

"So, your punishment is to accompany me in studying all the topography of the kingdom and also you have to tell me all current situation inside and outside of the kingdom."

"Will you accept this punishment?"

Although she was ready to accept any kind of punishment, when heard the punishment she was shocked because of how simple it was.

Although it was called punishment, it wasn't actually as it was her duty to accompany his highness to his studies and also to remind him of the current situations outside the palace.

Although she was shocked, she quickly calmed and bowed her head and accepted her punishment.

Although she accepted her punishment, she started think why Lucas has changed. And suddenly a scene flashed by her mind and thinking about the scene she thought to herself.

"Did his highness change due to yesterday's meeting with other princes?"

What happened is that, yesterday morning few other princes came to visit Lucas although the scene looked that they were laughing and staying in harmony with Lucas, but, the actual scene was that they were laughing at Lucas's situation and talking how he would die once he steps out of the palace.

They started describing the way Lucas might die, and also all the threats he might face.

The princes had plan to scare him to death as is know fact that previous Lucas was scaredy cat. And their plan worked, as previous Lucas was really scared that his heart stopped beating at the very night itself.

But who would have guessed that the owner of the body it self would be changed due their actions. And the new owner would make their lives go through hell in the future.
