Peace be upon my heart from you

'All I was concerned with was escaping, I did not remember and did not think that I could not see, in addition to not knowing the palace at all, these things became an obstacle for me, but at the same time it is impossible for me to return to the room, I must move forward perhaps and perhaps that find a solution'

She walked cautiously and with limited steps, counting every step she took from the time she left the room until she reached a roundabout in another long hallway in front of her.

"On step forty-one I can turn around this corridor and before that it was much less, OK... I'll continue like this."

She took more than a hundred steps, and there was no turning around, when I heard the voices of some men talking, she passed before them calmly and confidently, and they did not notice that she was blind.

"I don't know how many years I have to wait to get my sight back, it feels really disgusting...

Her train of thought was interrupted when she stopped at one of the corners, feeling that someone was about to bump into her, so she lowered her head to him and apologized.

"I'm sorry I was going to bump into you.. Excuse me for your permission."

And under steps to the side, for wanting to leave, he approached her to pull her by her little arm and put her against the wall, and she stared up, knowing through the smell who the person in front of her was.

He told her while he surrounded her on the wall with his wide arms that gave her the feeling of being trapped between two large walls without leaving her room to escape in any way whatsoever, so that her heart began to tremble and her breathing began to rise more and more

"Your repeated escape from me will only make you closer to me."

You can hear him and can't see him even when she lifts her head up trying to find his features

She wanted to know if he was angry or smiling, she wanted to know how he was looking at her to determine her position, but she felt that the pressure had gone down when he pulled her to his chest, right above the wound she had caused him, placing his hand on her hair.

"Eva... don't try to escape, I won't touch you but don't run, I want to sit and talk to you, find out why you became who you are, I want to know everything about you"

She collapsed sitting on the floor after being pressured by him with his strange words that Eva still considered coming out of the lips of a madman.

Julian.. you cannot know the amount of terror you inflict in my heart every time I hear your voice, and what frightens me the most is my inability to see your features.

"Take Your Hands Your Mirror"

He came down to her level to raise her trembling hands with those white servant gloves, and he brought both of her hands close to his mouth to pull the gloves with his teeth and his eyes taking their usual course in her gentle features, her wide yellow eyes and her high pink lip that gave him goosebumps every time he looked at her and remembered that he could not touch them because of the promise he had made to her He raised her hands and placed them on either side of his face, his cheeks, letting her feel every point of his features, his eyes, his eyelashes, his eyebrows, and then she lowered her hands lightly on his cheeks directly and wiped her small hand over the large scar covering the left side of his face.

She ran her hand behind his hair, which he pulled away, bringing the scar to his ear and then gradually descending to his lips.

Her thumbs were touching his lips lightly as he sat again with his legs in front of her

As a child and a monster, a completely different view of those who have been abused by Julian.

Her features were worried, but he let her do what she wanted with his face, until she ended up and put her hands down, which he still held with one hand lightly

"You're handsome... You made your appearance in my head. I knew why women desire you, but I didn't know why those men feared you so much."



"You want to know?"

She hesitated to answer, because she did not know what he would do if her answer was positive, and she also did not know what he would do if her answer was negative.

He lifted her from the ground, wrapped her arms around his neck, and held him tightly despite his being her number one enemy, and this was what she considered her to be.

Julian, if you try to touch me, I will kill you.

Their concern is to her as he walks, holding in his hands the princess he wants

"Okay, well, kill me, it's all for you."

Her heart fluttered when she heard these words from his lips, and she seemed serious and calm at the same time when she spoke to him, and another man was looking at them from behind the wall, he realized that this princess is the strongest drug of this monster

Julian entered his room and did not find the woman whom Eva had left on the bed naked. Eva felt strange, but she did not talk about this matter, especially with Julian.

She took off the tie of the maidservants that they put above their heads and threw it away on the ground, while Julian took off the cloak that Emmanuel had put on his shoulder after he came out of the throne room of the northern emperor to throw it away and climbed on the bed to sit in front of her in a supine position and put his hands on his thighs

"Come close to find out why men don't want to meet me."

Eva was hesitant as she squatted herself in fear

'If I only got close, a monster might pounce on me at any moment, but if I stayed silent it would, so I think a quick action might be better.'

She approached quietly and sat in a squatting position, too. She swallowed her saliva from time to time, and he noticed her hand, which was carefully extended to him, trembling.

"What are you still afraid of?"

"How do you want me to trust you? And even predators can't look you in the eye?"

"Come close"

He pulled her hand towards him and placed both her hands on his chest where the blow she had inflicted was on top of that white bandage.

"Do you feel what you put your hand on? This is the only bandage that has touched my body in my entire life."

" What you mean? "

He grabbed her hand on his chest again and spoke with charming eyes

"No man has ever been able to touch my body, even with a knife, the only scar that was drawn on my body, you were its artist."

"You see, babe? If I had wanted even a little bit, you'd be dead now but the beauty you carry, the voice and these soft hands that don't seem to have carried a weapon before..."

She shook her head in denial

Peace be upon you, Julian.

Her words echoed before his ears, as if she knew that staying with him would bring destruction upon her and him, so she could only get rid of everything between them before it even happened, especially when she got used to smelling his scent.

"How dare you fight my heart, Julian?"

Eva pushed him away and backed away and he smiled and got up from his place and got off the bed and stood in front of her

"The room you are sitting in is my room."

When I heard those words, I jumped out of bed and made my way to the door, which made Julian realize how clever Eva was to know directions so easily from twice or once.

He brought her back to her place after he walked behind her quickly and carried her by her waist with one hand, which turned on her stomach completely with one hand, as she screamed to close the door again in front of the eyes of two male servants who had swallowed their saliva staring at what happened.

looks like a princess

"Princess lookalike, who do you think you are to accuse a princess of taking your clothes to escape? Do you even know how dangerous your words are?"

She swore with everything sacred to her that this happened, but despite her kneeling in front of everyone, none of them could believe it, and even if they did, no one would be able to talk about this.

The next morning Eva was sleeping on her face among the pieces of bedding that filled the bed and Julian sleeping bare-chested next to her with his head on his arm listening to the sounds of her breath as she rolled on the bed, her hair filling it

'Eva...'

He plays with her long hair and smells her perfume from the side of her back at her neck, and she was not feeling anything, as she was already asleep, and he did not take advantage of any opportunity that was given to him to approach her body even a little

All he could do was smell her perfume

"One day I will extend my hand to you, and you will dance with me in the midst of the Western Imperial Hall with a smile on your rosy lips, and you will be content with your life with me, Princess."

And I will see your breasts dancing to the drum of my heart, emerging from the top of the corset that squeezes your waist instead of my hands

Holding your heart in your hands, you give it to me as a gift, and how I wait for this moment.

"I see you're still dreaming a lot, Julian."

She spoke in a tired, drowsy voice between her breaths and her face, which she had stuffed among the many pillows, as he laughed, and whispered close to her ear.

"I'll go and let them bring you breakfast, and I'll wait for you to dress me well because I haven't seen you in nice clothes since the first day I met you."

He kissed her cheek to get up from the bed in a hurry and made her scream in bed because of his actions and got dressed to run out of the room to hear the sound of something crashing at the door where Eva threw one of the glasses of water that the servants brought to them yesterday to break it at the door in an attempt to injure Julian.

Julian was walking comfortably as if he was really drugged, while Eva was smiling as she cuddled the mattress to her chest and fell asleep on her back and stared at the ceiling she couldn't see.

"Julian... I'm going to make you rip your heart out and put it in my hands, and then I'll break it with my own hands and make you regret what you did to me, for what you killed for my people, and for what your friend did to Lillian, I'll take revenge.
