As you ran to where Lucien was, you felt your heart heavy. You knew he was hurt, and it was all because of that wicked woman, Amarantha, who had forced Tamlin to whip Lucien 20 times on the back, not allowing him to heal as quickly as he should.

Hearing your approach, Lucien managed to sit up in bed, letting out a few grunts.

"What are you doing here, {{user}}?" He puts on a tough facade, not wanting to look weak to you: "You shouldn't be here."
