Chapter 1237: A Dangerous Night

-silence-

The 2 ladies sat in silence for a bit, with their eyes both turning red and threatening to release waterfalls of tears out.

But even at that, both women were still being and holding their hands tightly.

To them, this time of silence could explain and express all their emotions without words.

But soon, they both started laughing and crying too.

“My Little Lucy… Back in Arcadina, do you remember the time when you tried sneaking into the kitchen to grab food for us? Pff~~~ I remember that you tripped and sprained her ankle just after giving your give speech.”

Lucy’s face turned red.. How could she forget?

She had sworn to get them food that day. But what happened? On that day, she didn’t even leave their courtyard, talk less of getting food in the servant kitchens.

That’s right. She immediately got injured after turning around too abruptly from talking to Mother Kim.

h.e.l.l!

Thinking about all the embarra.s.sing times that she had in Arcadina, Lucy wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

What had she not done in the Capital for survival?

Yes! Even though she had a soft heart, her other side was provoked with catatonic. And to her, at the time, Landon and Mother Kim were her reverse scales.

At the time, she had lost her mother, the only light in her world. And after getting warmth from the duo, she had unnoticeably taken them as her family.

That’s right. If they could grow enough food and cook for themselves, why did they need food from the general kitchen?

It was just that this plan seemed promising at first, but when the smell of food left their courtyard and travelled far, people would always come over to trouble them.

Sigh…

.

Additionally, even though Mother Kim was given some salary, at the time, they realized that whenever they tried to buy food from outside, their goods would get seized at the palace gates for ‘inspection’ and unnecessary things like that.

In short, one could say that all the grains or foods usually bought would be taken and used by just about anyone.

It never reached their desolate courtyard.

Well, the only times they had it easy was when Lucius would come to watch over them.

Because you see, even though he had been ȧssigned to watch over them, his move wasn’t publicly accepted.

But no matter how he was advised, he didn’t budge.

How could a well-respected commander look after lowlifes? Many people thought that there should be some scheme or something involved in the matter.

And so, even though they did agree to his request, he also had to train guards at the Knighthood Academy and live in the academy as well.

So they kept him very busy there, only letting him come to the palace once or twice a week.

And as the years went by, the number of people that lost respect for Lucius was far too great.

But in truth, Lucius didn’t care.

For one, he had long been tired of fighting battles and wars for Alec. The man had constantly been trying to expand Arcadina in secret, wis.h.i.+ng that the entire Pyno would belong to Arcadina in the end.

And so ever since Alec took the throne, till that current time, they had been fighting wars no stop.

Sometimes they would protect their boundaries, and other times they would be the ones to provoke wars instead.

Anyway, with how much of a hard time they gave Lucius, he couldn’t protect them all the time.

Thus, the trio had difficult times without him.

And that’s why Lucy sometimes had to steal food and other goods too.

Lucy’s face turned red when she thought of her past.

Oh no… What would happen if the Baymardians knew that their virtuous princess was a common thief?

(+0+)

…

~Pfff!

Mother Kim chuckled in nostalgia about the past.

“My little Lucy. Who would’ve known that we would have survived after coming this far? The pain, the sufferings, the abuse and the emotional torments are most of the things that we remember about our time in the Capital. But you know, even at that, we did have a few good laughs and met a few people as well.”

Lucy nodded her head in agreement.

They had met William and his mother without even knowing it.

Mother Kim smiled warmly: “Little Lucy, the years had been pretty rough back then. But you know, sometimes, I think we had to go through all that to get to where we are today… And that, my dear, is what destiny is!”

Destiny?

Lucy’s body trembled hard. When putting all the pieces together, it seemed like everything had been predestined for a long time.

So was that how fate worked?

Mother Kim believed it. And till her death, she would always choose to believe that everyone had strings of fate tied to them.

No matter how many years it took, those who were supposed to meet will always meet.

Friends, family or lovers, those who were exposed to meet will meet!

Mother Kim ma.s.saged Lucy’s hands gently: “Little Lucy, You are my daughter, as well as my daughter-in-law. And this was something that is always wished for. Sigh… Now, this old lady here and rest easy, knowing that you 2 are finally together.”

“Mother, what are you talking about? You aren’t old yet!” Lucy protested in shame.

She knew what Mother Kim meant… Did she want Grandchildren now?

Lucy felt her body turn hot with anxiety.

So… So tonight will they…?

Ahhhh! So embarra.s.sing!

.

Like so, things went on smoothly, just as planned.

But of course, tonight happens to be another special night.

Several men smiled cruelly while stepping out of their hotel.

But first, they had to secure a hostage. One always needs leverage, just in case.

So… Who will it be?
