"The king requests that you should be the one to bring his dinner to him in his Chambers." She informed her with a concerned smile.
Danika's heart skipped three beats. "Baski?"
The older woman walked closer and took the comb from her. She watched her through the mirror as she ran the comb through her long blonde hair. "My dear?"
"I've run out of time." She whispered, her hand caressing her slight bump.
"I know." Baski let out a shuddering breath, "I know, Danika. But, the Heavens are with you. They will guide you."

He doesn't want her to go. He wants her to stay with him. "As you wish, Your Highness." She replied hoarsely. She walked back to the dinning table and sat down beside him. He dug into the broth in front of him, scooping it up and into his mouth. She watched him eat, keeping quiet because she knows how much he loves his silence.

Danika asked, her eyebrows creased with worry.King Lucien isn't used to sharing his problems. He said nothing.She noticed his defensive hesitation and didn't press. He has let her in long enough for her to know him for who he is. A man who's more used to keeping to himself than talking to people.But, she already has his trust. He has already let her in. He will tell her when he's ready, and not before.After the meal, she got up and began clearing the plates. She got to his side and packed up his plates.

Lowering herself to become eye level with the boy, she ruffled his hair again. "You'll be fine, Corna. Be a good boy, okay?"Corna nodded obediently. "You are a good Qween... Very beautiful Qween."Danika smiled at him, even as she wondered what's with the little boy addressing her the same way Remeta addressed her? "I'm not a Queen. I was a princess, Corna. But now, I'm not anymore..."The boy reluctantly released his finger from his mouth with a pop. He moved closer and placed his little hand on her belly.

Sitting up naked beside him, she shook her head miserably."I am your Mistress, My King. I feel like I'm no longer good enough for you. Maybe because I wasn't born with a Royal Blood inside me... Maybe because you have forgotten everything we've been through. Maybe you glance at me and remember dirt..." Tears filled her eyes and she sniffled, "The same dirt King Cone created when he raped my mind and my body, right in front of you..."King Lucien slid his eyes closed, the memory made his heart—which was warm earlier in the day—go cold."He dropped a burger. Wanted me to crawl on my hands and knees, and eat it out straight from the ground with my mouth. Like a dog." He remembered one of the events.

It is not unusual for her ever since she got pregnant, but today was worse than the others.She vomited her lungs in the toilet, lowering herself to the floor beside the seat, she laid her head on it and tried to get some sleep. She was feeling that sleepy.A knock came on the door, followed by the creek of the door. "Danika?" Baski's voice came through."In here..." She tried to shout but it came out like a croon.A few seconds later, Baski appeared at her door and looked at her with concern, "Your food is down the drains.""I couldn't keep it in.

The sound of giving flowing down the hill a few miles away. The soft sweeping of wind every moments. He was deep in thoughts as he caught the linens he wants to use as new cottons for his house.He was quickly jerked out of his thoughts when he heard a soft but firm knock on his front door. He dropped the scissors and the linen-cloth, and got up from the wooden chair.He walked back to his house through the backyard and entered the sitting room,going straight to the door where he pulled it open.It's a visitor he never expected after months of absence. After he heard of her impending marriage to a King."Good day, My Lady." He extended w
