Danika's insides are practically quivering in fear and panic but she didn't let it show on the outside. She wouldn't give this woman the satisfaction.
"What am I doing here?" She asked politely, but her chin was tilted in that upward manner only a royalty can attain with ease.Vetta took one step closer and slapped her so hard across the face, Danika's head whipped to the side. For a full minute, she couldn't hear a thing as her ear rang, the pain reverberating all through her body."Let's get one thing straight, Slave." Vetta intoned, fasting her hand into Danika's hair and yanking it back to stare at her face openingly. "You do not get to question me!"Danika gritted her teeth. She said nothing, but her eyes burned with fire and anger for this woman.The king's torture is one thing...but a torture from his mistress is one that riles her up so much, especially when she hasn't do

The king gave her permission to torture Danika, and there's nothing anybody can do about it. She gave the guards sign-order for them to stop whipping her. They bowed their heads. She stared at Danika. "See....even your slave you charmed has left you." She drawled as she walked close to the slave in front of her. Danika could barely hear the woman. Everywhere hurts. Her back is on fire. Her body no longer feels like her own. Tears fell from her eyes in waves, her body trembling while the Mistress laughed and made talks in front of her. "I will enjoy doing this to you daily. Torturing you is special fun on its own. The king has been way too kind o

When Sally entered the cave, Vetta was ready to laugh at her for her incompetence and stupidity, and she was ready to tell her to get out because no amount of pleading will save her princess from her hand. She opened her mouth, but the words were immediately cut off when Lucien strode right behind the little slave. The shock on Vetta's face was massive. "M-My King!" She stuttered out in shock, bowing her head. But none of them were staring at her. The king, Baski, and Sally's eyes were on a very unconscious Danika whose back was so bloody, the strokes of whip visible....some of it tearing her skin open. "Oh, Creator...!" Sally started crying again so openingly, but she didn't reach fo

Sally helps her to squeeze out the water from each scoop of wet ground leaves, and she applies them to the wounds. Sally was happy that the princess is unconscious. This hurts like the very hell, and her princess already suffered enough in one day. The king was still leaning against the door, even though he'd long sent Chad away. He hasn't said anything else. His eyes just took everything in. Finally, Baski said... "All done." Sally breathed a sigh of relief as she took all the wounds they covered. Tears filled her eyes again because her princess's back looks like a map of green leaves. Baski faced the king. "I'll give her some concoctions to sleep really

Chad was already waiting by the door when she was done. She nodded her head, signaling that he can take her now. He bent down and lifted Danika up the same way he carried her into her room. Her midriff on his shoulder, her back in the air. When he got to the king's room, he was sitting down behind his desk, writing. He didn't look up when they entered. "Make a bed for her down there." He pointed to his own bed. "Already on it, my king," Baski replied. Within minutes, she and Sally have another high big bed on the floor, besides the King's bed. They spread a fresh new bedsheet on it and built a tend around it.

He asked with a furrowed brow, knowing that the room is not cold at all. "Your...eyes....they're so cold..." She whispered. Lucien said nothing, knowing that the woman isn't herself. She was heavily induced on pills and potions, and they have side effects. He knows that she won't remember any of these in the morning. And so, he just stared at her. It's the first time he allowed himself to stare at her so up close. The first time he allowed himself to really look at her. To see Danika....not Cone's Daughter. She's beautiful. The knowledge went to his cold heart and whispered on it. Beautiful and so pure-lo

"Are you cold?" He groaned in a hard voice. "Your eyes....they got colder...." She swallowed, "...filled with so much hate." He can't bear to stare at her face for long because no matter how he tries....he must still see her. Cone's daughter. "I hate you, Danika." Her lips twitched and she blinked ever so slowly. "I know...My King." He looked away. She placed a hand on his chest. "There are scars here too... Internal scars. Here....they seem bigger there...in your heart." "They are." "Can they....ever heal?"

Send out orders to the maids, slaves, servants, and slave trainers both in the palace and in the mine sights, that all of them should stay out of her way. I find out she worked, the person responsible will be punished." "Yes, my king." Baski wasn't really surprised. It's just like night he'd visited the girl in her bedroom. He'd given orders just like this...only lesser. "That girl... Sally...." he paused, "...these orders extend to her too. At least for today." "I understand, My King." Just like that day, he pinned her with a glare. "I don't need feedback, Baski. I don't care. Make sure you don't bring them." "Of course, My Lord."

Sally pulled back and continued in a whisper. "There's a rumor that the king placed her under house arrest for three noondays." A thrill of pleasure shot through Danika's body at the knowledge. She must be a bad person for being happy but she couldn't help it. Three days without having to see Mistress Vetta are days to look ahead to, even though, her back hurts and she still has to work, she's still happy. " I was so happy when I heard it, my princess! I'm really happy about it." Sally enthused excitedly. "I'm happy to hear it too, Sally." Danika finally admitted. * * * * * * * * * * *
