King Lucien walked into the dungeon. The two new prisoners got up and knelt before him in greeting.
"Your H-Highness..." They said in reunion, their voices showed their nervousness.
King Lucien stood at the entrance of it and looked at both women. Coria and Zenia.
He has a fleeting memory of Coria back in Mombana. He has never known her to be wicked. Her actions were unexpected.
He closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the image of Danika lying down there all bandaged up and in pain.

His silence wasn't making it any easier for them. They waited for him to talk but he wouldn't say

Very restless night.She couldn't leave the palace all morning because her quarters were being cleaned out and it will make the maids suspicious if she goes out by that time and they out for long.She waited impatiently, and by afternoon, the worry was almost eating out her liver. When the maids were done with their thorough cleaning of all the rooms in the Mistress Quarters, she sent them all away.Then, she dressed up in a yellow, well-embroiled corset and a very long veil to match with it so that her face will be hidden when she goes out of the palace.It was a very long walk as usual, because she couldn't take the carriage.

Her eyes filled with fire even as her traitorous body reacted.But, she's determined never to lay with him. How dare he!?Now that his intentions are clear, Karandy became bolder. "The king will never know. And it's just this once.""You're not touching my body." She spoke through gritted teeth. "You take the money and get us out of this mess you put us in!"Karandy almost reminded her that it was her idea to carry out that plan, but he didn't. Instead, he boldly run his hand down her arm.

Baski got behind her head and pulled her up, helping her to lie in her arms, she supported Danika's head with against her blossom. "You have to eat to keep strong. Your wounds will heal faster too." "Alright, Baski..." She whispered drowsily. Baski spoonfed her gently, and she ate obediently. In the silence that followed, Baski fed there the first course of the meal from the tray. When the plate became empty, Baski dropped it beside the bed and picked up a full plate of tomato bisque soup. She used the spoon to feed it to Danika.

It's a good thing the child is no longer in me..."But, even as she said that the tears wouldn't stop falling from her eyes.Baski's eyes went wide open. She can't believe this...! It's just too impossible...!"Who's the child was that, Danika?" She blurted out.Danika looked confused and surprised at the same time.

She said nothing.As she walked out of his house, she thanked the gods about her large corsets that covered every part of her lower body extravagantly. No one will nothing that she's almost limping and her legs are trembling.That bastard Karandy almost killed her. He'd pounded her really hard, for a moment, she'd thought the man planned to kill her.At first, she'd actually enjoyed it—she's no stranger to rough coupling.But then, the reminder came to her about who it is drawing pleasures from her body—a man who's lower than dirt—and she'd dried up immediately.That was when he even began pounding her like she isn't human, and it had hurt like hell.

Her mind was filled with the image of a man who isn't her future husband. Callan occupied her mind. Every night, she dreads that the king will summon her for her duties on his bed. While she isn't untouched, she isn't a loose woman too. And now, she has fallen in love, which makes just the thought of another man putting her hands on her that way fills her up with dread. On a normal way, she should have gone to the king and demand for her right to be on his bed with him, this season. But, she only felt relief when a time passed and the king does not summon her. She worried about Princess Danika too. The beatings she got were brutal. Danika has always been brave for a princess, that is wh

It's the middle of the night and silence already descended everywhere.Memories of Declan do not hesitate to break him down. Will a day every come when he will remember his believed cousin without such intense pain gripping his chest?Declan never deserved that kind of horrible death. He does not deserve it at all.A pounding headache nagged him. He got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom.He has no destination in mind, but his legs carried him towards Danik
Danika's bladder woke her up all of a sudden. She'd kept her eyes closed, trying to put off the feeling of having to get up from the bed and use the bathroom.But, the pressure was suddenly unbearable for her.

He really did come tonight.Her eyed opened and found his, standing beside her on the bed."My king..." Danika whispered sleepily."Get some sleep, Danika...
