Sally started ahead too, even as she still talked. "That's the Rose?"
"That's the Rose."
"Oh, it's so beautiful, my princess!" 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 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."

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
