When she was done, Lucien withdrew the cup and tried to get up but she clung to him, her dazed eyes staring at his. "So cold..."
"You're cold?" 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. * * * * * * * * * * *

She skidded aside and gently plucked the flowers out. Two long beautiful and fresh-looking Rose flowers. She perforated her hair with the piece of flower and clicked up at Danika with a smile. "How do I look, my princess!?" With the flower stuck in one side of her black hair, Sally looked more beautiful...more child-like. "You look beautiful, Sally." She flushed under the compliment. Then, she started closer to Danika and placed the remaining flower on her hair. "There. You look so beautiful." "Thank you," Danika said to her with a smile. Then, they continued their journey to the village. They went in search of a library.

Her room looks beautiful because of the way Sally decorated it. She smiled taking in the new features. The fresh flowers. The lightbulbs. The new floor carpets. Already, she was counting the minutes before Sally comes back again. She walked out of the palace and took a first visit to the library where she spent a good number of time. It was afternoon by the time she got back into the palace and strode towards the garden of the palace. She was staring at them with fascination when her back prickled. Someone is watching her. She looks behind her and stared up. There she stood at the window, staring at her with eyes fille

It startled her so much, her mouth opened to scream but a deep voice cut her off. "Don't make a sound or you'll regret it." Karandy snapped at her. Danika snapped her mouth shut. The man was holding her tight from behind and he was hurting her wounded back. She bit her lips hard. He dragged her to an isolated part of the palace, entered a small store, and locked the door. "You've been a very bad bitch, haven't you? What did you keep doing for the chief maid that makes her give you days off repeatedly?" He snarled at her. Danika swallowed the fear she was feeling at being alone with him. Instead, she stared the slave trainer square in the face, "I don't know what you're talkin

She had the urge to wear it. You're no longer a princess, Danika. She looked away from the jewel, got up, and walked out of the dressing room towards the King's Chambers. When she got to his bedroom, a guard out there informed her that the king is not in his bedroom at the moment. He's in the bedroom at the end of the hallway. She thanked the guard and started down the hallway. On the door, her heart was already beating out of her chest. She knocked once and waited. "Come in." The deep voice she hasn't heard in three noon days came through. She opened the d

Someone can easily get lost in the blue-troubled cold sea that is his eyes. He allowed the silence to stretch for so long. They stared at each other and for a moment, the world fell away. There was no pain. No introduction. No slave. There was no impending pain and humiliation. Just Danika and Lucien alone in the world, staring at each other in the eyes. Suddenly, she remembered everything they talked about on that night in his room. Those questions he answered. His scars run so deep. His eyes have been cold for so long, he is sure it would never be warm again. His torture session she oversaw. Her father roasted his privates. The knowledge made her cling inside an
