I Will Love And Protect You

Nyx: Why would you send my brother a letter?!

Hyacinth: Who are you to question me?! You are not in the position to question me after your treasonous acts.

Nyx: You just keep repeating everything! Can't you think of another reason to blame me?

Hyacinth: Fine then! But I'm sure you'll be shocked that I know many of your acts.

Nyx: Like what?

Hyacinth: Like you sending your spies to my court!

Nyx froze because of shock. She couldn't believe that hyacinth knew her pyramid of spies in the imperial Court. But luckily lucious soon returned with a glass of wine. Hyacinth again pretended to be happy to avoid getting on lucious's bad side...

Lucious: Sister I got your wine!

Nyx: Ah! Thank you lucious.

Hyacinth: Lucious how come you haven't talked to your wife at all this evening?

Lucious: Oh I just want her to spend time with her brothers. She hasn't spoken to them in a very long time and I just want her to enjoy the night.

Hyacinth: How chivalrous of you. You truly are a great example of a man lucious. You've really earned my respect.

Lucious: Thank you emperor hyacinth.

Hyacinth: Just call me hyacinth lucious. After all I am your brother in law now am I right?

Lucious: Alright then hyacinth!

Nyx: Brother you truly are a good man. You are very kind and gentle and you know how to treat and respect a woman. That's very rare nowadays...

Lucious then turned his smile into a serious face. He felt uncomfortable of what his sister said and he became a bit suspicious. He knew his sister well and she wouldn't speak about these matters unless she feels mistreated by her husband...

Lucious: Is that so?...

Nyx: Yes indeed. I mean my old husband was quite a womanizer you know?

Lucious: Oh really?... It's a good thing your married to hyacinth now am I right?

Nyx: Yes. I am very lucky to marry hyacinth.

Lucious: And I'm very sure he's even more lucky to marry you sister...

With a few words nyx planted doubt in lucious's mind about hyacinth. And now lucious would be cautious around her husband and he'll be able to protect her from now on. But she also worries about her brother as she knew how powerful hyacinth has become these past few years.

As the banquet has finally come to an end it was time for lucious to go to the marital chambers...

Lucious first entered the chambers while wearing a blue and gold robe. He decided to just go and sit on the bed as he waited for amaris to arrive. Amaris arrived shortly wearing a robe same as lucious...

Lucious: You've arrived...

Amaris: Did I take too long?...

Lucious: Not so as I've arrived just a few minutes earlier.

Amaris: Good... I thought I made you wait an eternity.

Lucious: How was the banquet? Did you enjoy talking to your brothers?

Amaris: Lets just say there was a bit of tension between those two. As you know whenever their surrounded by nobles those two tend to show which one of them is better.

Lucious: Yep. That checks out.

Amaris: Well how was meeting your sister? You've wanted to see her again even before I knew you right?

Lucious: My sister was awesome! Did you see her? Wasn't she pretty? What do you think of her? Do you like her? Do you think we should go and have dinner with her? Do you think you could be friends?

Amaris: Calm down lucious... ಥ_ಥ

Lucious:Oh sorry.

Amaris: It's alright but say it slowly okay? How was meeting her?

Lucious: She was very nice and caring! She really has grown very mature and pretty. She caught many of the noble men's attention. I think they forgot that she was already married though.

Amaris: Well you can't blame them. I saw your sister and she really is attractive. How about your brother in law?

Lucious: Hyacinth... I really liked him at first because I saw how good he treated me sister but...

Amaris: But... What?

Lucious: My... My sister and him seemed to have tension... And my sister also mentioned something really off about men these days not treating their wives very well which seemed directed to him...

Amaris walked to lucious and put her hands on his cheeks...

Amaris: Cheer up now. I bet your sister can handle herself. And don't forget your also here to help and protect her now!

Lucious then smiled...

Lucious: Thank you amaris... I'm glad that like my sister.

Amaris: Your sister seems wonderful lucious. And now I feel jealous because my brothers are very chaotic while your sister is very pristine... ٩(๑꒦ິȏ꒦ິ๑)۶

Lucious held amaris's hand and chuckled...

Lucious: Don't worry about it now. I'm sure we'll be able to deal with them.

Amaris: We?

Lucious: We. We're married now after all amaris. And it is my duty to love and protect you all my life.

Amaris: Of course it's your duty... I'll make sure I'll fulfill my duty to produce you an heir.

Lucious just smiled and laughed as a confused amaris wondered why he was laughing...

Lucious: Amaris that's not what I meant. ಥ_ಥ

Amaris: Then what did you mean?

Lucious: I didn't mean that I am forced by my duty to love and protect you.

Amaris: Then what were you saying?

Lucious: That I will do it by my own will.

Amaris: You mean...

Lucious: Yes! I will love and protect you wholeheartedly!

Amaris: In what way can you love me then lucious? When and in what way can you give me your love when this is just an arranged marriage just for our benefits in court?...

Lucious: Not everything if for the imperial Court amaris... You day when? I say now. You say how? This is my answer.

Lucious then pulled amaris in for a kiss...

Lucious: Now I've shown you what I mean... Can you now show me what you mean?

Amaris: Yes...
