Chapter 46 - THE CULPRIT

Billy, like Aurora was also scared to suddenly see the Prince in her room,

"What can I help you with, your highness?" Billy asked, or perhaps did his highness find her attractive and wanted to spend the night with her, with that thought she blushed but Lucian couldn't see anything as he just glared at her,

"Start by telling me who sent you to poison Sabrina's tea?" He spoke coldly and saw the maid freeze immediately hearing what the man just said,

"Po..poison!! I don't know what you're talking about, your highness," Billy quickly said

"Are you sure, Billy? Maybe a trip to the dungeon will joggle your memory and body a bit," he said with an evil grin on his face,

Billy shivered immediately she heard that she will be thrown into the dungeon,

"So will you start talking now or rather visit the dungeon, and I promise it's not gonna be a short but a really long visit,"

"No please, I will speak...." Billy started revealing all she knew, letting Lucian know that she was sent by Lady Rosaline and Lady Selene to poison Sabrina's tea, "I promise I was only doing what they asked me to do and they threatened to kill me if I didn't do as I was told!" Billy pleaded, knowing this man was a monster and she couldn't just upset him any further because she knew he was already angry,

"Your pleas mean nothing to me..... Come in Theodore," and his right hand man walked in with a guard, "Take her to the dungeon and make sure you don't feed her, let her starve to death," Lucian said with a grin and Billy's eyes went wide,

"Please, I beg you my prince! Spare my life! I was forced to do that!" She pleaded but Lucian just walked out, no bothering to turn to look at her,

Lucian teleported into Rosaline's room and saw the figure sound asleep on the bed, he gently climbed on the bed and gently nibbed Rosaline on her ear making her wince a little before opening her eyes, she turned and saw that it was Lucian but strangely something seemed off about him, he was emitting a cold aura, though it didn't scare her,

"Why are you here, Lucian?" She asked,

"You mean I can't come here whenever I want to?" Lucian asked calmly nibbing her ear again and she winced in pain this time,

"Ouch! It hurts," Rosaline exclaimed as she felt blood drip down her ear but Lucian licked it off, "What are you doing?! If you are hungry you can ask a maid to get you blood, don't feed on me!"

"But I want to have blood from you right now," Lucian said and Rosaline was sure that he wasn't sounding normal,

And she confirmed it when he bit her harder again making her yelp in pain and jump out of the bed, touching her ear while staring at him, who grinned wickedly,

"What's wrong with you! You keep hurting me, are you okay?" Rosaline asked with a frown on her face, she watched him get up from the bed and slowly walk close to her like a predator wanting to attack his prey, that scared her a bit and she moved back slowly,

"What.... What are you doing, Lucian? You.. you are scaring me," Rosaline said moving back till her back touched the wall and that when Lucian trapped her by resting his palms on either sides of her head, her eyes widen,

"You want to know why I'm like this?" He asked coldly and she quickly nodded, "Fine listen, and answer my questions without lying, if you lie I will torture you-"

"What! Why would you say that to me-"

"Do you agree or not?" He asked now glaring at her coldly, she nodded wondering why Lucian was suddenly like this, he has never spoken to her in such tone!

"Did you or did you not try to poison Sabrina and her unborn baby?" He asked and saw how Rosaline's eyes went wide before going back to normal,

"I..... I-"

"I want only the truth, Rosaline," for the first time he was calling her full name coldly, "Both you and Selene?"

"We did not do-"

She couldn't complete her sentence because Lucian for the first time held her neck, something he would never have done to her until that witch came into their lives!

"What.... What are you doing, Lucian! Leave me at once!" She tried to speak but her words were muffled because of Lucian's hand on her neck,

"You will tell me what I want to hear, Rosaline, I don't want to harm you but if you don't start talking, I can't promise you that I will keep my hands to myself," he threatened and Rosaline was once again shocked,

When Lucian released his hold on her neck, she immediately held her neck and gasped for air, panting, did he really want to kill her for that bitch!

Rosaline looked up at Lucian's cold gaze with a frown on her face, she was upset at what he just did, "How could you, Lucian! What if we planned to kill that bitch! We are your family and she is a nobody!" She yelled into his face,
