The next morning, the family sat round the table having breakfast, all busy with the food in front of them,
"Mother, your birthday is approaching, right?" Selene asked out of the blue with a smile on her face, breaking the silence in the room. Sabrina could feel Rosaline glaring at her but she never looked up,
"Yes Selene, in two days time," Lady Lucia said smiling back at her.
"Are we going to celebrate it, Father?"
Delcrov looked up at his daughter,
"Of course, we have always done that and will still keep doing so," Delcrov said returning back to his meal.
"Well am sure you are excited, mother?" It was Rosaline who asked,
"I am," Lucia smiled.
"And am sure you are looking forward to it too, Sabrina?" Rosaline asked turning to look at Sabrina, who also stared at her,
"I mean this will be your first time experiencing a grand ball in the castle,"
"Of course, after getting married to my brother," Selene added, playing along with Rosaline, Sabrina knew they were up to good
"Yes," Sabrina smiled, replying simply.
"I have sent an invitation to your mother, Sabrina... And also Elena of course and her mother too," Lady Lucia said with a gentle smile.
"That's very nice of you, Milady," Sabrina said, turning to smile at Lucia, bowing.
"Brother Lucian, what have you gotten for mother?" Selene asked turning to look at Lucian who hadn't indulged himself in the conversation, he looked up at his sister and grinned.
"You seem extremely excited about the celebration, Selene. Wait till then and see what I give to her,"
"Alright then, brother," Selene said smiling, "I hope you are also preparing what to give to mother, Vincent?" She said to the little boy who looked up from his meal,
"Yes, Aunt Selene,"
"I have also got something quite nice to give her too," Rosaline said grinning and Sabrina could only wonder what she could offer the Queen, she looked up at the Queen who was now smiling at everyone.
"I have been invited to the Queen's birthday celebration," Sarphina said to Hannah with a smile.
"And so have I and my daughter, it is nice to suddenly have a connection with the royal family, don't you think?" Hannah said with an excited grin.
"It is," Sarphina replied.
"Sabrina is so lucky to be married to the crowned prince,"
"She is," Sarphina answered with a grin, "Elena should dress well for this occasion, she might find a suitable man to get married to,"
"That, you are right about my dear friend and I will see to it that she is beautifully dolled up for this occasion,"
"That would be great," Sarphina agreed.
"Do you think Sabrina should be pregnant now?" Hannah asked and Sarphina frowned in thought, she doesn't even think her daughter has had anything to do with the prince, she knew her well, Sarphina thought, she must do something about it, if not she would be thrown out of the castle soon.
"I don't know but if she is, am sure she would have told me," Sarphina said with a smile, while internally she was worried.
"I am not planning on taking it easy on you, my beloved wife," Lucian said staring at Sabrina who now stood in front of him in the castle's meadow, she wasn't dressed in a usual gown but a fighting outfit, she was on white shirt and black pants, she was uncomfortable in this because it exposed her womanly curves more and she was sure he was enjoying what he was seeing because he was grinning and staring at her all over, she glared in disgust,
"Why do I have to be in such an uncomfortable clothing?" Sabrina asked him with a frown on her face,
"Because dear, so that you can move more freely, I wouldn't want you tripping on your gown and falling flat on your pretty face," Lucian said chuckling. He was right tho, Sabrina thought.
"Can we start now?" Sabrina said wanting to just get it over with.
"We will, what's the rush? It's not like you have got somewhere to be, infact I should be the one hurrying things up but am not doing so, I have to be in the council soon but here I am trying to help you out, you must give me some credits, I think with all what I have done for you, I deserve one," he said with a smile, his red eyes going to stare at her bossom.
"I never asked you to help me, Airen could teach-"
"That old lady? She doesn't know much, I for one would teach you and make you an excellent fighter," he said
"Ready?" He asked and she nodded, "Attack me," he said again, "Try to take me down if you can," he completed and Sabrina moved forward, fisting her hands,
She took one swing at his face but he dodged it, she took another one but he did same, dodging too easily and smiling from ear to ear, while Sabrina heaved for air, she tried to kick his stomach but he used his hand to swing her leg away, making her loose balance and hitting her bottom on the floor with a wince,
"Oops, did that hurt?" He looked at her with a grin. Sabrina got up abd started attacking him but he kept dodging the attacks so easily. Sabrina was getting tired, she attacked him full force in frustration but he turned her down pinning her on the floor, she stared at him before using both hands to push him off of her and he got up, so did she, they continued practicing till afternoon became evening and soon it was starting to turn dark,
Sabrina heaved for air with her hands on her knee, bending down, while Lucian didn't look even a bit dishevelled,
"I can't do this anymore, am tired," Sabrina said panting, "I have tried enough already,"she added.
"Yes, sprout, you managed to punch me and even kicked me but you haven't yet met the goal of this training, to make me lay flat on the ground, that is where you win, if you don't do that, we can't stop this," he said with a smirk, Yes she was getting better indeed, he felt it but he needed her to be even better.
Sabrina rose up and stared at him before nodding, they started again and this time she just jumped at him, making him fall on the floor with her on top of him, she placed both her knees on the sides of his hip, grinning with her hands besides his head,
"Now I won, you should be begging me for mercy now, your highness," she chuckled, while he just grinned looking up at her.
"You cheater, who should be begging whom for mercy?" Lucian asked grinning,
"Of course you should, I could kill you this instant if I want to-"
"Go ahead," Lucian said.
"Hmm I know that if I do, I will be sentenced to death, so I would spare you for now," she grinned playfully while they stared into each other's eyes.
"But do you think I want to do the same?"
Sabrina was confused by the statement, not until his hands suddenly went to her waist, holding it tight and he switched their position, Sabrina's eyes widen.
"Now you will beg me for mercy," he said with a wicked smirk.
"Wh... What are you going to-" she paused.
Suddenly she felt his hip move up to touch hers, grinding into hers, making her feel his manhood on her sex, she gasped as he continued with it, his manhood was so hard, she struggled to get up but his hold was strong and she was turning weak due to the way he was making her feel, she moaned.
"Please.... Stop," Sabrina said with a husky voice, "Get off me, Lucian..... Please," she pleaded softly.
"But why does it sound like you are enjoying it," Lucian grinned continuing with his wicked act.
Sabrina pushed his chest hard until he rolled off her, she quickly got up and bolt, running to her room.
