Danika can only watch what was happening. She was too stunned. Too shocked.
After Vetta stormed off, Kamara turned her attention to her. She stretched out her hand.
Danika placed her hand into hers, and she helped her up from the ground.
"Thank you so much for your help, Princess Kamara. I appreciate." Danika said sincerely. She never expected this at all.
Kamara waved her off. "Oh, stop with the 'Princess Kamara', not from your mouth too. I get sick and tired of hearing it sometimes."
"Oh..." She doesn't know what to say to that.
"You can call me Kamara, and I will call you Danika."
"But that's not proper. I'm n-no longer a princess, I'm now a slave." Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.
"The clothes don't matter. What ma

His ribs felt like they've been roasted in a hot blazing fire. His pain, he can always deal with on his own in private...in silence. But now, Declan needs him. Declan needs him now. He bit back a growl as he got up from the ground and walked to the bars of the cage that adjoined his present cage with Declan's cage. "Hey..." He growled out. Declan opened his eyes and stirred. Lucien can see that he wasn't really sleeping, he was just forcing himself. At twenty-one, Declan has developed a very bad case of insomnia. Just like every other slave. Some worst than the others.

It has too. It's making her too tired lately, and she doesn't want Baski to know. She does her best to hide it from her...from everyone. Her sickness. Her pain. Her emotional wreckage. She just has to keep being strong both for herself and these two females she has come to care for. She stared at Remeta and Sally who was sleeping beside her, quite oblivious of the world. She watched their labored breathing. Finally, she got up from the bed when she's sure that sleep has really eluded her. She might as well go outside and get some fresh air. She put on her sleeping robe and walked out of the bedroom. O

To Danika, it felt like ages since the king brought her here before. When he lowered himself to the wooden chair, she sat beside him, putting some distance between them. They stared out of the river. In the middle of the night, the water was almost still. There were so many waves, no tumbling. Just the beautiful sight of water beneath the dark clouds of the night. Then, he wrapped a strong arm around her and pulled her closer to him. He lowered his head on her shoulder and closed his eyes. "Let us be like this... Just for tonight." He groaned. The tension left her body and sh

She understands it because she's been that way for a good while now. But the better part?She smiled widely as she remembered last night. Or is earlier this morning?That hug...She closed her eyes ams could almost feel his arms around her. He'd held her tight...like he didn't want to let go of her.Then, they'd walked. He'd told her about his late Cousin. He'd sat with her and let her put her hands on him. He'd put his head on her belly...Her hands rose and pressed on her stomach, her face glowing. She can still remember the way they'd stood there and she was patting hs head. They'd stayed for a long time too.Such a sweet sweet

She'd been so caught up with everything that's been happening lately, she's forgotten what it's like to live the palace gates and go anywhere.Sally is her usual cheerful person, stopping by every flower to pick a little part of it. She puts it to her nose and inhales deeply."Aah! It smells so good, my princess.""It does, doesn't it?" Danika complied.Sally stuck it to her hair and continued skidding down her part.

No, please, it can't be... Most of these signs and symptoms here, she has them. All these while, she'd thought that she was sick because of the King's coldness towards her and his upcoming marriage to Princess Kamara. But... She swallowed tightly. No, no, she can't be pregnant. No, there's a mistake somewhere. Madamn Baski had told her that she can't get pregnant because of the herbs she'd gave her on her second night with the king. So, there's just no way that she's pregnant! "Danika, you just can't be...!" She consoled herself in a whispered. It's all a coincidence. It just can't be...!

Some people glared at her as she passed, but she bowed to them slightly and walked away with her shoulders high.Pregnant...?No matter how she tried not to think about it, her traitorous mind keeps going back to that awful possibility. Terror seized her system.Heavens, no. It can't be. She convinced herself stubbornly. There's no way---A girl ran into her."Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" The girl said as she pulled away from her.Danika caught herself from falling. She looked at the girl in front of her. The girl wouldn't be more than eight years old, and she was dirty and dressed in rags. A lowborn."It's okay. No harm done." She said softly.The girl nodded her
