Chapter 1764 Lucy The Canary

Chapter 1764 Lucy The Canary

A dream is a wish your heart makes. Even Cinderella said so.

A dream is something you most desire. And for several days and weeks, Sebastien hasn't been able to get Lucy's image out of his head. He had old newspapers with her image on the front page. He had videos of her royal wedding, though he immediately substituted Landon with himself.

When she smiled, he thought she was smiling at him. When she laughed and held Landon's hand, he too envisioned it was him. No one, except for Rudolf, knew of his attention to Lucy

He, Sebastien, had never been so attracted and interested in a woman as he was now. He found that when you love or truly lust after someone, you begin planning your day around them. Everything in your world now has focus and purpose. Initially, he wanted power to avenge his Grandfather who was exiled out of Baymard and had to stay in Veinitta. He wanted power to prove that he too was a Barn, a Barb that should never be underestimated. What man doesn't want power in this world? He wanted the Arcadinian throne, he wanted power and all the perks that came with commanding an empire. Sebastien felt that you would have to kill him to make him forfeit the throne. Even now with his obsession for Lucy, he will won't forfeit it. Why should he? That is what he deserves! He might be obsessed with Lucy, but don't think that just because he likes her, he would fulfill her every desire that goes against his. To put it simply, he is first in love with himself, then her, then other good things in life. That was the order of things. He, Sebastien, would never accept pillow talk that cripples him in the future. (*^*)

.

Huh. You must be joking! He did fancy Lucy very much, but unlike how she loved now, he wanted to keep her in a cage, like a canary, for his eyes and eyes alone. He wanted her entire life to demand and revolve around him. What work? He felt Landon didn't know how to treasure Lucy when allowing her to work so tirelessly outdoors. Lucy is not only a teacher, but a government official, working in the department of agriculture. She is also part of the UN's charity, health and peace operations privately funded by all UN empires. Their goal is to aid those who really need help in their various empires. Sometimes, drought and even plagues can cause a population of people in a village, town or city to die overnight. Floods can occur, winter or summer hurricanes and tornadoes can be fiercer than usual, and mother nature in general could be a b**ch. The UN comes in and helps these people start anew again. Policies are put in place to prevent the situation from repeating itself, the list goes on. Sometimes their concern is purely medical, taking in people who have been shunned by society or called cursed. Orphan babies are picked up in the world far more frequently than one would expect. Some children are found in critical conditions with ants already moving through their nostrils and mouths. Other children aged 4 or 5 are so bony that it was quite a frightening thing to see. Some children begin as beggars the moment they gain consciousness. With no one to teach them and many shunning them in society, they truly moved around the world in a daze. Unfortunately, some became victims of street rape and slavery. And a few also die on the tables of men and women who loved the taste of human flesh. There was so much to do in this world, and so much to give out in charity. Not just money, but clothes, books, old shoes and many other items are bundled and given to those in need. Lucy did a lot, which was understandable, seeing as she was QUEEN! Hey... if you wear the crown, you must fulfill the obligations. And quite frankly, Lucy wasn't complaining. She loved her job which allowed her to travel and meet new people from time to time. .

Unlike Landon, although Lucy was busy, she still had ample resting time. If Lucy was honest she had to say that her Mondays to Fridays were always swamped, but her Saturdays and Sundays were very lax... unlike Landon who was super busy even on weekends. On Weekends, she mostly did light jobs like shooting for the cover of Glam magazine or having a grand dinner and sightseeing event with visitors from foreign territories. On such days, she did as she pleased. Lucy made sure that she only taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sometimes, depending on the semester, her class was 3 hours long, once a week. If there were assignments to be marked and graded, the TAs (teaching assistants) would do them. With the guidelines and marking sheets she gave them, it was easy to mark the students' papers. That is... what was the point of having them if they can't do this much?

Sometimes, she won't even attend the last class before a major exam or test, allowing the TAs to hold question-and-answer sessions in class. They would answer any doubts the students had, provided the students asked. But if there were no questions from the students, then the TAs were allowed to stop the session early and leave. And the next class, they will be the ones overseeing her tests and exams. To be honest, Lucy truly loved having T.As. It made her job very easy knowing that all she had to do was teach and leave all the marking and exam supervision to them. Of course, once every paper is marked, she would go over it on Sundays, using at least 4 hours to cross-check everything and ensure that the TAs didn't make mistakes. Except for attending morning service at the Grand Cathedral, her mornings were pretty lax. So when she returned, she typically looked at the papers while eating lunch in her bedroom.

Around 3:30 to 4 pm, she would either take a stroll outside the palace or watch TV with Kora, Little Momo, little Linda and Little Ren. That was her usual schedule. But then again now that she was pregnant, she realized that as the months went by, the less work she was allowed to do. And now she only works on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The other 4 days were mostly spent in the palace, with her being very bored. She was pregnant, not ill, so why was everyone treating her like a patient? (:TwT:)

.

Anyway, Lucy was so bored that she began secretly working at home. She was so used to working that she didn't know what to do when given so much free time. Even when she didn't come to Baymard, she worked in the Arcadinian palace while living with her mother Kim and Landon. She fetched water and aided in cooking, cleaning, gardening, farming, knotting, mending and performing other duties around the place. She was used to working and didn't like having too much free time on her hands. Many people think that the feeling of being a tourist is great. But after a while of not doing anything, you start to feel like your existence is a little meaningless. Believe it or not, work gives you purpose. Lucy looked for things to do, wanting to cook, clean or help out around the palace, but no one allowed her to do so. One day, the cooks arrived on schedule and almost had heart attacks when they saw her in the chicken, carding a large pot with her large belly protruding. Before that day, Lucy had never known they had to post to fly. In a flash, they appeared before her, taking the pot away and escorting her out. Soon, they became very vigilant, always looking over their shoulders and ensuring she didn't come here anymore. At that point what else could Lucy do but secretly do her own work at home? Such was the life Lucy now lived. She already felt she had so much time on her hands. So imagine someone trying to put her in a cage all in the name of pampering her and not allowing her to lift a finger?

Do you know how boring such a life would be? The food is cooked by others, the house is cleaned by others, the gardens are mended by others... all she can do is paint occasionally, take leaks around the gardens and anxiously wait for her man to come home

Mind you, she won't be allowed to leave the place. So even if he came home and didn't want to see her, she would have no choice but to bottle up her distractions and await his visit on another day. Sebastien smiled to himself, already making plans on how to keep Lucy in love and Kate for his eyes and his eyes only. That cousin of his didn't leave her at all, or else why would he allow her to move around so busily as she did? A woman like that should not be allowed to work at all. What's more, why should a woman be involved in politics? Once he takes her as his queen, she should forget all about retaining her government position. Go home, give birth, and raise my children. That was Sebastien's dream. As for the bastard she was currently carrying in her womb, he would kill it after it was born. That, he could guarantee!

... n-)o/-v-(e(/l(/b)(I.)n

Like so, Sebastien made plans to not only take on Arcadina but also take on Baymard as well. If he wanted Lucy, he had to do it. However, he wasn't the only one making drastic changes. Today in Morgany, several people also did the same.
