{Simeon mansion}

A servant ran out of Luciana room covered with food particles, she stop abruptly sighting Simeon approaching.

"greeting My Lord"she greeted bowing her head.

"what happened to you?"Simeon asked the servant.

"I went to give the lady her dinner, she was happy and eating the meal at first but she suddenly throw the food at me complaining it is bland, the next moment she apologize to me and help me clean the floor,I decided to ask her if she is fine but she slap and ask me out of the room, before I could leave the room she apologize to me again"she explained.

"my Lord is she alright?"the maid asked curiously.

"am sorry for what happened, you should change,I will handle the matter and From now nobody should enter her room"he instructed walking to Luciana's room.

Summer sat on the bed with her face buried in her Palms.

"may I come in?"Simeon asked opening the door and Luciana raising her face replied with a weak smile.

"do you sleep well?"Simeon asked her but she said nothing but stared at him.

"have you gone dumb overnight?"he asked again but she didn't say anything.

"Luciana", he called out to her placing his Palm on her forehead.

"oh! no, you have taken the last gem, but how Is it possible!"he asked himself silently.

"Simeon, please help me?"she said weakly falling into his arm.

"Luciana, don't worry I will help you"he said pulling away from the hug only to notice she has fainted.

"the gem Is taking effects"he carried her in a bridal style into the mirror in her bedroom.

The next day,at demon palace,Carl was taking a stroll at the garden when he sighted a beautiful lady with a brown hair and emerald eye her skin white like the snow rushing towards him,he was captivated by her charm.The lady was not paying attention, she bump into him,Carl fell with the lady on top, their eyes met.the lady stood up Immediately.

"are you blind?"the woman asked.Carl stood up from the ground.

"you are the blind one here"Carl replied.

"how dare you?,do you know who I am?"the lady asked angrily.

"who the hell are you?"Carl asked her.

"am princess Athena, and this is my palace"she answered boastfully.

"who are you?"she added.

"am prince Carl, and the heir apparent to the throne of the wolf tribe"Carl replied with a smirk.

"really, little wolf"the woman said excitedly patting her hair .

"who are you calling little wolf?,am more older than you"he yelled slapping her hand away.

"little wolf, you don't remember me?"Athena asked.

"what?, stop calling me little wolf am more older than you"Carl said in annoyance.

"In appearance, but when it comes to age you are not even half of My age,am sad you don't remember me little wolf"Athena said running away sadly .

"What a strange woman"he muttered raising his head to see Gun approaching him.

"What are you doing here?"Gun asked.

"I was bored,so I decided to go for a walk but I met a strange Lady who keep addressing me as little wolf"Carl explained.

"Athena is awake?"he asked Carl who was surprised how he knew it was her.

"How come you know she is the one?"Carl asked confusedly.

"You don't remember her, you use to cling to her when you are small and that's when she nicknamed you little wolf"Gun replied.

"How old is she?"Carl asked.

"Three Hundred years old perhaps"Gun replied.

"What,am only hundred and four "he exclaimed in disbelief.

"Yes,I know, back then you are just four years, you cling to her telling her you will marry her when you becomes a big wolf"Gun said with a smile.

"What?, Marry her,no I can't"He rejected immediately.

"You should keep your promise or else there will be consequences"Gun Said coldly before leaving Carl with so much questions to ask.

"How can I marry a woman who is the same age as my mother, thinking about it My father is younger than my mother,so he won't mind at all, come to your senses Carl, but she is so beautiful "he said to himself.

"Hey!"Adrian called snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Pardon me,I was Lost"Carl apologize.

"Am  here to warn you not to make my sister cry again or else you will regret it"Adrian warned him in a serious tune.

"Are you threatening me?"Carl him.

"You can consider it a threat or a warning"he replied.

"Do you know who I am?,am prince Carl of the wolf clan"Carl said.

"Isn't it the annoying little wolf, remember me"Carl said in annoyance.

"Who the hell are you?"Carl asked angrily.

"Prince Adrian, remember i used to beat you up back then and I will still do the same if you make her cry again"he said coldly walking away.

"How can this be"he muttered with a gritted teeth.
