It Became A Serious Thing Lionel II

The Heart of the Demonic Knight Commander... While he was planning on how to make Colette well and truly his, the situation of the neighbouring countries turned sour. There was some resource rich land near the border of their country, and they were likely to be aimed for after the other two countries finished with each other. Lionel got really busy. The King immediately wanted the Black Dragon Knights dispatched. Lionel did not want to leave Colette. But this time, it was serious and about the safety and honour of the king and the citizens so he could not refuse. Eugene, the Captain of the White Eagle Knights, was against Lionel’s Guard being the phalanx troops to leave. He was complaining about being deprived of his honour, whatever that meant. It became hard to meet Colette. Margo had visited Colette and received some chocolate from her, but if they aren’t able to meet for too long, Margo will be coming back with refusals. She would think that he had forgo...

The Heart of the Demonic Knight Commander... Pintrest 'Have you decided yet?’ He knew his Majesty, King Adrian (Zuben: I bestowed this name upon him. Saying just “His Majesty” or “The King” was grating on my nerves) was not  talking about his next move on the chessboard, but on the matter of taking a wife. Lionel, the Commander of the Black Dragons, moved his Knight piece on the board. ‘Yes,’ ‘You don’t want to marry the Earl of Karriss’ daughter; you say you will wait until you find another. If you can’t find someone else, just get married to the girl.’ ‘I don’t want to marry someone I can’t spend time with or talk to.’ The woman they chose for him was so afraid of Lionel she never spoke to him. She sometimes fainted when he approached. No doubt they would both be unhappy if they married. But Adrian was impatient, ‘If you want a partner to talk to, get a mistress. Get married and make a child for now. I am also stuck with Eliza, she’s very bothersom...

It Became A Serious Thing Epilogue

I have a confession to make. I started this one while I was doing Easy Truth Silly Political Marriage, so I took time to finish this once that was done, but I doled Colette cake out every two days to give myself a two week break cos my thumbs were achy (I hold them stiffly when I type), to edit typos (I'm sure they are still lurking about there but I did my best), and at the same time look for a new book to do. I didn't think people would enjoy it at all In honour, of everyone's enthusiasm, here you have it: the Epilogue and Lionel's POV all at once. If you want to read Lionel's POV First, here: Lionel 1 , if not continue on...

Very Much 10: Mine richard newton to tempt a scotsman pinterest Lionel took Colette back with him to the Foleilly town house in the city. ‘I will take you to the family home tomorrow. My Mother and Brother are expecting you.’ Colette was a little excited. (Zuben: I thought you were trepidatious earlier) ‘I am sorry to trouble them,’ ‘It is no trouble. They are rather happy about the turn of events, my mother especially, my father would be as well if he were alive. I had been reluctant to marry, but thanks to you I am finally decided.’ ‘Lionel…’ Even though she was nervous about things, her heart was beating fast and her cheeks got warm, but his face was impassive as ever, yet his eyes held a lot of emotions for Colette. He was pleased she was with him. He must love her, Colette thought. She was treated like a princess in Lionel’s home. In the palace, Colette worked for other people, but now she was being treated so preciously, it felt like a dream...

Very Much 9: Matthew is a harem master. He tripped and fell and landed with his thing in her thing When the strength of the two men eventually flagged, Lionel spoke up, ‘With this situation, we don’t have to pay compensation for the cancelling of the engagement,’ (Zuben: I knew this sly person had something up his sleeve) ‘That is true. And from now on the Folk Shop will not be trading with you!’ Colette’s father said still angry. ‘And the same goes for us. We will not trade with you either!’ The animosity of both men could not be helped. Colette sighed, ‘Are you alright, Colette?’ Lionel asked gently. Lionel seemed anxious. She was all right but she realised she really couldn’t marry Matthew after this. He hadn’t been this sort of person when she left home two years ago. But she had to know what happened, So Colette spoke up for the first time since she greeted her parents, ‘Let me talk with Matthew for a bit, just the two of us.’ Everyone proteste...

Very Much 8 : A Visit Home Lina Sidorova With Colette in his arms, Lionel rode his horse into the centre of her town. They were very conspicuous. Here was a knight in ceremonial dress on a large war horse. Not only that, the knight was the leader of the Black Dragon Knights that had recently returned home victoriously. He had Colette in his arms, holding her like she was precious to him,

Very Much 7:  Don’t ask Colette for advice she’s a ninny! macoto Even if she asked Colette, Colette did not know how to reply. She had no answers. ‘I don’t know such a thing and we…we are not together anymore. His Majesty and Lionel are different… To compare my situation with that of His and Her Highness…’ ‘Why do you think that Lionel and His Majesty are different?’ (Zuben: Maybe Colette does have the answer. Queenie, just wear a sexy baby doll and ask the King for his “compassion”) Further questions were awkward. She didn’t want to criticise people who are precious about their status without permission. She was nervous about being accused of a crime, ‘I don’t know his Majesty at all (Zuben: Indeed, if she walked by him in a hallway she wouldn’t know it was him.) but I think I came across Lionel-sama when he was lonely. Maybe his Majesty would get used to you while you live together…?’ ‘Maybe you should be frank with him about how you feel. Maybe t...

Very Much 6: What has Colette done…? http://www.buvinzenierusavieniba.lv 'So, what’s your name?’ Eugene asked. ‘…’ ‘Even if you keep silent I can still find out.’ There were on their way to Lionel, and the Captain of the White Eagle Knights was interrogating her. His voice was gentle, but with a chilling undercurrent. He badgered Colette. Colette was rather weak, ‘I’m Colette…’ ‘Good Colette. I’m Eugene.’ He said with a smile, but his eyes were not smiling. His hawk-like gaze watched Colette, making her frightened. His tone appeared sweet and friendly, but she could sense the venom underneath. ‘I am surprised that Lionel was dallying with a woman that was not his fiancée, the daughter of the Earl Karriss. What do you think would happen if the Lady hears of this? That her fiancé is engaging in an affair with a mere maid before their wedding.’ ‘…’ ‘The Lady Karriss would go crazy with jealousy and possibly postpone the ceremony. How would Lion...
