"I.... I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking," she quickly said and Lucian just chuckled,
"You are becoming a brave sprout now I see," he said with a smirk now on his handsome face, "How about your father sprout?" He said bringing up a conversation between them, even though he already asked Theodore to find out all about her,
"My father..... Is dead, he has been for a long time, even before I was born..." She said and he could sense that she felt sad remembering,
"You're sad," Lucian said as he stared at her,
"I know I shouldn't be too sad because I never met him, so it shouldn't hurt that much but..... I've grown up all my life watching other girls father take them out, buy them fancy things and be there for them..." She said in thought, "But I never experienced that, instead mother would force me into any gathering of the wealthy, infact she was very glad that you chose me, back then when I was feeling sad about not having a father, she will say the same thing..."
'All you need to do is get any rich man's attention and make him marry you, then he'd provide you with all those things you've always wished for' her mother would say,
Lucian hummed listening to her and kept quiet and then Sabrina asked about him,
"I'm sure your childhood was lovely, you are so lucky you have your mother and father with you," then suddenly Lucian chuckled,
"Lucky indeed," he said as he stared into space then his features turned cold suddenly without any emotions on it, "Only that my mother died when I was very young," he exposed and Sabrina's eyes widen in shock,
"Lucia-"
"She's not my birth mother," he Interrupted her, "My mother was killed by the relatives of my father," Sabrina was once again shocked by the revelation,
"Why?" She asked and Lucian turned to face her with a smile on his face as he gently caress her cheek,
"Because my father fucked a mere woman he met outside on business and married her and then birth me, they had asked about my mother's family and she had said she didn't have anyone, no siblings no aunt or uncle or anyone, so they thought she was just a mere mortal who was useless and tried to poison her...." He stopped
"And?" She asked wanting to know all that happened, the King's family was really cruel, does it mean someone will try to kill her too?! At the thought of it she couldn't help but feel scared, not more for herself but her baby, Lucian saw what she was thinking and kissed her forehead,
"I won't let anyone harm you, sprout no one," he said and strangely Sabrina felt calm before asking again about his mother, "She didn't die, the poison was strong, meant to kill any creature on this land made by a powerful witch, then they thought that maybe she was a witch, father didn't want them to harm his wife because he loved her and she was kind and caring to all but they later did...."
A young boy with silver hair and black eyes sat on a bench in a huge garden with a woman who also possessed silver hair and black eyes too, they smiled at each other as the woman read a book to her son,
"Mama, I don't know my grandfather, yet you say I have one and we should keep it a secret between us," the boy said staring at his beautiful looking mother,
"Shhh," she said as she put a finger on her lip to stop the boy from saying more and she looked around them, "It's a secret between us and we don't want anyone to hear about it,"
"But why mama?" The boy asked again with a confused look on his handsome face,
"Because people won't like him when they know about him and might want to do bad things to him.... Or me," she said in thought before smiling back at his handsome looking son, "Now, do you like the book I read to you? Your sister doesn't seem to," she said speaking of her younger daughter who was playing with her doll inside the castle with her friends,
"She is boring mama, she only likes to play with dolls and other girls her age and do tea parties," the boy said pulling a boring face and his mother laughed. He always liked it when she laughed because then she looked more beautiful just as her heart too was
"Mama, do you know where father went out to?" He asked
"Hmm your father went out on a business trip, he left yesterday and I'm sure he would have told you but he was in a hurry and he wouldn't be back anytime soon," she spoke already missing her husband and the boy knew, because he knew they loved each other dearly,
Suddenly out of the blue he heard a blast, like a gun shot.... Or exactly a gun shot because his face was suddenly covered with liquid, he raised his hand up to his face and his eyes widen, blood..... Whose blood was this? Then he looked up at his mother that was staring at him with smile on her face a moment ago, her face was filled with pain, he stared down and saw blood at the area of his mother's heart,
