between two

Eva told the emperor that she would rather be with a polar bear than with him, and that made him giggle, Julian had never laughed so much before and the princess was the one who made him all laugh despite her being serious but he thought her words funny to him.

"Tell me, Miss Eva, would you rather spend a night with me than a night in the snow?"

He liked to bother her by talking close to her ear and liked to watch her speak with fear, seriousness, and quick manner.

"Please, your majesty, just let's go somewhere warm before I freeze."

His eyes looked confident and the sly smile on his lips was very clear but Eva couldn't see anything and that was what bothered her.

In addition to being able to smell its strong scent that makes her feel dizzy.

'Why does this man have such a strong smell, I have met many men but I have not met a man like him, his smell makes me dizzy and I feel like I am losing my strength, and he gives me goosebumps when he wraps my waist with his wide hands to get me off the horse or when he carries me over his broad shoulder'

'I hate this man so much, I want to kill him'

Eva hit her head with the palm of her hand after being drowned in her thoughts. Julian noticed her and said to her while bowing his head to him from behind.

"Are you okay? Is there something?"

"K.. No I'm fine, there's nothing just try to hurry I'm freezing!"

They were talking so smoothly as if they were lovers on a journey, to the point that Eva forgot that he was the man who had invaded her realm, occupied it, and was about to rape her.

"I think that place will be good, I see a little hut a few meters away, he stays there tonight and we'll go out tomorrow."

Julian continued to walk his horse quietly, because going too fast would cause them and the horse to be hurt by the cold air.

"And what about Lillian? Shall we just leave her in this cold weather while she's not wearing any proper clothes?"

'I still can't figure out what was the main cause of Lillian's sudden flight, he told me that she had abandoned me but I would believe the animal and not, but I don't know how I would be able to find out from him, perhaps if I had asked him to spend the night with him he would tell me... But I can't believe him either, I can't trust he'll tell me and I don't have the ability to present myself in such a cheap way.

"Your Majesty, why don't you tell me the real reason behind Lillian's escaping? I know there is a real reason behind her escaping, even if it is something I don't like, what can I do in this situation?"

"Though I know it's a bad thing either from you or that savage friend of yours."

"Eva, we don't live a beautiful life, and you are not a woman to speak, I think you know your destiny here, you should be grateful to me for keeping you alive."

These words were able to silence Eva, who had lost everything, her eyes, her body, her kingdom and her people. Those tears rolled down her eyes and the cold wind froze them on her cheeks, as if his words had wounded her for the first time.

'Despite the words that come out of that man's mouth, but I will not surrender to him, I will be like a flower that grows on the sidewalks, I will fight him until I get my freedom and take back my kingdom, and I will not be satisfied until I see him kneeling before me'

Eyes overflowing with tears quietly without realizing that arrogant red-eyed, the words that shook her being made her shut up for the first time without answering him, and this put him in the matter of the bewildered who did not know how the sweet princess thought for the first time.

He bent forward to stare at her face, and she felt it and turned her face to the other side so that he would not see her eyes, which caused tears to fall from her.

"What's going on? Were those little words enough to hurt you?"

She did not respond to him as if she had swallowed her tongue, but that did not last long until they reached the place, the little house that Julian had previously identified with his eyes.

So the horse stopped after he started to feel very tired and Julian got off the horse after leaving the bridle in Eva's hands so she wouldn't fall

He brushed his clothes off and quietly grabbed her waist and lifted her off the horse to lower her to the ground, as he had always done from the beginning of their journey.

"Now...let's go in and find out what might be inside..."

For the emperor to be excited is something new to everyone, even Eva, who realized this by hearing his voice, and turned the handle of the wooden door to make creaking sounds as the door opened.

Julian lowered his head when he wanted to enter because of his abnormal height.

As for Eva, she entered behind him while he held her hands so that she could walk without stumbling and falling as she used to do.

"The hut smells good, it's not an abandoned hut, there's a fresh human smell, I can feel it."

'I don't know what to do now, I want to treat myself, but I can't when this man is with me, oh my God....'

Eva tried to let go of his hand but grabbed her arm and looked towards him at his chest as his eyes pierced her beautiful eyes.

His deep thoughts began to permeate his hard head as her heart began to beat fast and forcefully as if it was about to break out because she knew what he was thinking as he grabbed her slender wrist with his wide hand.

"Your Majesty, I know what you are thinking at this moment, but you must retract your decisions, whatever they may be, for I would rather kill myself here than have your hand touch my body."

He shook his head right and left in the negative and told her with a cold smile, his eyes that had become almost numb, staring at her gentle, gentle features, her eyes, her nose, and her lips.

"Believe me, you will never be able to kill yourself as simply as you say."

But she answered him in a firm tone, as she used to be

"I'll do it believe it or not"

Eva pushed him with her hand forcefully, and he hit the wall because he did not expect such a strong action from her, so he let go of her hand at this moment, and she turned to go and search with her hands for the heater to light it, but she did not find anything, so she showed him that she was very strong so that he would not be able to touch her during this period. .

'Although my heart is trembling, but I must be strong so as not to make him feel weak, and he will use me today and tonight, so that I will be like a roast chicken in front of him.'

"Your Excellency, I think that since you are the man here, you should bring us some firewood and light the fireplace, I do not know where it is. I want you to light it because I need to, because I feel very stiff in my muscles because it is so cold outside and I don't wear much clothes either."

"It's not hard to make a fire, but you know that being an emperor you should pay me back after you warm your body."

He was talking to her and did not take his eyes off her as he wandered around collecting the wood on the side of one of the corners arranged well, as Eva said there were humans in this place a little while ago so everything in the place was equipped and tidy

Julian started arranging the wood from top to bottom in a completely opposite way, he knew how to do these things because he was an emperor first and he went through a lot of difficulties to get to this stage and then he has a very bad past in which he has done a lot of things second

Then Julian grabbed two stones while sitting on one knee in front of the stove or fireplace and hit one of them with the other with his hands hard and did not need to consume much of his strength to light the fire over the wood, so he managed to light the fire after putting a little oil on the wood from above.

He hit the red color of fire above the red color of his eyes, so he turned his eyes towards her, and she came walking lightly and cautiously, spreading him between her hands to balance her body, so he grabbed one of her hands and made her sit in front of the fireplace a little distance away.

She brought herself closer to the fireplace, but he put his hand around her waist and pulled her back and sat down one meter behind her and said in a cold tone.

"Don't commit suicide now, it's too early to burn yourself."

As for her, she did not look at him at all, but was preoccupied with her clothes, which she began to open from top to bottom, and lifted her dress to reveal her legs, so she passed her hands on her knees, and her features were sore.

He slowly approached after seeing her looking at her legs, which were riddled with wounds, and her white knees too, which had turned a little red and brown.

"What happened to you, why do your legs look so damaged?"

"All of this happened because I fell on the ground every now and then because I couldn't see anything, I couldn't even see the face of my archenemy as he walked with me every step of the way."

"Why should I be your archenemy when I told you to join me in your kingdom? Your refusal is the one who brought the kingdom to this point."

His response to her was cold as he sat next to her exposed legs, so he got up from his place and went outside the hut to try to find a point from which to bring water. He took his clothes and took some snow in his hands and went back to the hut and closed the door, then tied his horse back to the door from the inside because he couldn't keep him outside in this cold weather.

"Where did you go? Why don't you answer?"

He approached her with slow steps and sat her on the ground in front of her exposed legs, he tied well the piece of skin with which he put some ice and then began to pass it over the wounds on her legs, and that made her panic, holding on to his clothes from his arm because it was a shock to her.

He grabbed her hand and she pressed his hand tightly while he gently passed the cold piece over her legs, which gave her legs a more shiny look.

"The cold will soothe the wounds, don't worry."

"Julian stop!! This hurts me more"

He did not hear these words as if they were in pain because of the ice passing over her body, but he was hearing them with a completely different appearance, and his eyes, which did not lift from their painful features, were watching something else.

Julian's features were at the height of her lust, so he gave her the cold skin and left it in her hand to go and sit at the door next to his horse and told her

"Treat Yourself"

"Thank you"

She thanked him and continued, placing the piece of skin over her body, and he could hear the light groans coming from between her tired lips.

"Eva... can you stop making these sounds?"

At this moment, Eva turned, his voice pierced her ear, and said to him in a cold tone

"If these sounds of mine bother you, how about if you were the one who was hurting for me, then you could only show me how to hold on, and if you didn't like these sounds, you could sleep outside."

"No, if I wanted to, I wouldn't sleep outside, but I could make you shut up all night."

She laughed sarcastically and said to him between her laughter

"You heavy joker"

Eva kept wiping her legs until she grabbed her wounds with her other hand and the places of the blows were getting cold and she could only feel being pulled from behind and she heard those heavy breaths hitting her ear, that arm around her waist and the one passing over her thigh from above the knee to the top of her thigh.

Her eyes widened and she realized that the emperor couldn't hold himself

"Looks like you failed to stop yourself."

And in another place, only the sound of strong and rapid panting and breaths that rose and descended quickly and with footsteps with wounded feet on the cold snow could be heard.

After the wide night fell and the animals and their voices occupied the snowy forest, Lillian continued to run without stopping as if she had forgotten how the oldest one stopped, especially as she continued to hear the voices of that man. She finished that her feet were bleeding and tried to stop on the snow for several minutes to make the blood dry in her feet, then she continued running without stopping. Her hands are tied forward

But for a moment, she regained the consciousness that she had lost since she ran away until this moment.

"Oh my God… what happened to me… why just why is all this happening to me"

"I am the strong woman with a proud name... Why would I run away from a man... Although he tried to harass me, no, he touched me too, but he couldn't complete what he wanted, I must act with firmness and firmness."

Lillian drew her breath in her tattered dress, permeated with cold air from all directions, and walked slowly and quietly, trying to find anyone around, since she could no longer hear that man's voice.

"I must find someone here... Even if it is a small house, I must warm myself up a little or I will die."

"I'm trying hard to maintain my body temperature, I feel like the cold is starting to permeate the bones of my chest."

She walked quietly, trying not to make any noises with her feet that might attract him, despite the fatigue that permeated her delicate body.

"I know that he who troubles me is possessed by as many senses of animals as his emperor."

She walked for a short while and knocked her feet in front of some big tents in the middle of the snowy forest, and when she saw those fires burning on the ground, she ran and reached her and there were some men and women who were gathering around the fire and eating, so she smiled lightly and tired features and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Oh my God!! This girl!"

Men and women ran to her and carried her from the ground to one of the big tents on which they built a lot of firewood

Just at a tree close to them, I knocked on the feet of that horse and its brown companion, who stared quietly at the fire and listened to their voices that rose inside the tent.

"That's fine.... I can take advantage of them to take care of her, and then I'll be able to do whatever I want after that, the further away I get, the sweeter it becomes."
