Seduced by the Tyrant King Ch-3 Black rose

lucien [ML][E]

*smile looking at cassian sudden caution* don't take it in wrong way lord yale

cassian [Mc][RO]

*look at his golden eyes trying to understand his words and the danger but got lost in those beautiful and dangerously distant eyes* then... W..what way you mean those words

lucien [ML][E]

*a dark glint flash past his eyes*

lucien [ML][E]

*cover his face and laugh softly* you are too adorable to ignore you know

cassian [Mc][RO]

*ears turn red and whispers to himself, almost inaudibly* What... did I just get myself into?

lucien [ML][E]

*Leans in slightly, voice like a whisper wrapped in velvet* If you keep reacting like that, Lord Yale… you might tempt me to say things I shouldn’t.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Eyes widen slightly, his voice barely above a breath* T-tempt you?

lucien [ML][E]

*smile that doesn't reach his eyes* come with me *pull him with to balcony*

cassian [Mc][RO]

y…your majesty

lucien [ML][E]

*Tilts his head, golden eyes glowing faintly under the moon light* You're smart, aren’t you? Surely, you’ve noticed the way I look at you.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Swallows hard, lowering his gaze* I… I thought I was imagining it.

lucien [ML][E]

*Reaches out slowly, tucking a strand of hair behind Cassian’s ear, fingers lingering a heartbeat too long* You weren’t.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Heart pounding, words catch in his throat as his fingers tighten slightly around his wine glass* Why me…? A…and since when I just joined the court last month your majesty

lucien [ML][E]

*Steps even closer, voice low enough that only Cassian can hear* Because beneath all your careful masks, I see fire. Untouched, Untamed, and it calls to me.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Eyes filled with uncertainty, he looks up at Lucien* I... I don’t understand. *his voice is soft, almost pleading* What do you mean by all this?

Lucien steps to the balcony’s edge, moonlight casting silver on his dark hair as he turns to face Cassian fully

lucien [ML][E]

I don’t expect you to understand this right now… but I’ve never looked at anyone the way I look at you.

cassian stood there stunned silent, the wind tugging at the loose strands of his hair, heart thudding louder than the music behind them

Lucien stared the beautiful and tempting shadow of the omega who caught his eyes years before claiming his cold heart and disappeared for many years and then suddenly came back to him, it must have been God's sign .... his eyes scan cassian presence as his heart beat like a drum in the silence

lucien [ML][E]

*Takes something from the inside of his coat — a single, velvet-black rose* This is for you.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Eyes widen as he stares at the strange flower, hesitant to take it* A… black rose?

Lucien grab his hand and gently places the rose in Cassian’s hand, curling his fingers around it

lucien [ML][E]

It symbolizes devotion. Mystery. Obsession… And a promise that even darkness can desire beauty.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Gulps, eyes flickering between the rose and Lucien’s unreadable expression* Why are you giving this to me?

lucien [ML][E]

*Steps closer, voice low and steady* Because I want you to know you're not just another noble under my rule. You're someone I want beside me.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Eyes widen* Beside you…? You mean—?

lucien [ML][E]

*Cuts him off softly* I don’t share what’s mine, Cassian. And you’ve unknowingly stepped into my world — into me. This rose… is my first claim.

cassian [Mc][RO]

*Holds the rose tightly, his fingers trembling slightly* I… I don’t know what to say… I don’t even know what I feel…

lucien [ML][E]

*Leans in, forehead almost touching Cassian’s* You don’t have to feel anything right now. Just don’t run from it.

A moment passes — quiet, breathless — and then, faint footsteps echo behind them.

??? [Unknown figure]: in a cold voice from the shadows How interesting, Your Majesty… you’ve never given me a rose.

cassian [Mc][RO]

Kevin *look at him with surprise and a small smile flash on his face*

lucien [ML][E]

*look at cassian who just ignored his presence and smiled at another man... his eyes darkened as he glared at the man standing in front of cassian*
