Danika was dumbfounded at the beauty of the dress. The plain slave wears Sally went out of the house with, wasn't so plain anymore.
There was silk sewn beneath it and laces outline the upper part of the red wear. "It is so beautiful, Sally!"
"I know, right!?" A huge smile was on Sally's face as she watched the dress too. Then, the smile fell. "I know it's nothing compared to the dresses you are used to though..."
"Don't go there, Sally. That's the past, this is the present." she took the dress from her, "This is the best dress I've had presently, I won't trade it for anything."
The huge smile was back again on Sally's face. "Really? You really like it?"

She has not been manipulative, and if she is, it is left for me to find out. I haven't found out, and so, it will only be an accusation you make without basics."He isn't believing her...!?"But, my king---"She began again."Let the subject drop."

It's an ordinary walk, not an invite to any gathering or any party.And yet, she is nervous. She was all dressed up and with the help of Sally, she has her hair all arranged. She came up before him and lowered her head in greeting."Mast---" she paused, swallowed, and added, "My King."King Lucien looked at her with the same expressionless face that has become his usual look.

Oh, what did Remeta say to trigger a look like this on his face?She didn't know when her arm rose on its own accord to rub soothingly on his back. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she found herself patting him.King Lucien was deep into his head before he felt the soothing caresses on his back. Remeta had spoken about babies, and it had triggered painful memories.Memories of when the healers and medicine men of the kingdom told him one after another, that he can't father a child.Memories of the first year after slavery when he had desperately tried to prove them wrong, bedding so many women of the kingdom who had been all too happ

"I am your king for this evening. Not your master." The reminder made her glow. She decided to take a leap at fate. "Then, can I ask you a question, My King?" When he gave no reply, she bit her lips. She walked right beside him in silence, inwardly cautioning herself not to overstep her boundaries again. He stretched out his hand towards her and waited. She stared at this hand in bewilderment, wondering what the silent request is. She raised her eyes to his expressionless face—which was staring ahead of them—and there was no clue on it. Surely, it isn't what she's thinking.... "Put y

"You can."Her left hand was still circled in the protectiveness of his hand, so she curled her other hand to his hair and began patting so softly and rhythmically.They stared at the river in front of them, while her thoughts were only in the slight distance separating them. She hasn't recovered from the long night she spent in his arms last night, but her aching body still longs for his.If he demands her in his bed again tonight, she will be there.
