Princess Kamara just got words from her father's kingdom that she should stay put here in Mombana for sometime because there's a problem in Navia.
Her father detected a spy in his cabinets, and until the spy is found out and flushed out, it isn't safe for her to come back.
It made Kamara angry and sad at the same time. She misses home. Most importantly, she misses seeing Callan.
Once, she gets back home, she will try to find a way to make seeing Callan possible. It's been so many months, it's like an ache in her flesh.
She has been very lucky for the past two weeks, the king hasn't summoned her to perform her duties to him. He hasn't summoned her to warm his bed.
But, she isn't sure how long her luck will last. The thought made her restless and wary.

Do you want him to order my execution!?" Baski paused, deep in thoughts. She understands where Danika is coming from, but Danika doesn't know the condition of the king. She doesn't know that the king was thought sterile and she can't tell her about it. The king is a very private person and this is not a secret a person just reveals. Even Vetta doesn't know about it. "Danika, my dear, he might be very happy about it. You'll never know unless you try..." She informed uncertainly. "Might?" Danika whispered, "I should walk up to him and risk my life for 'might'? I can't do that, Baski. I'm not strong enough..." "But, pregnancy is not s
🌺🌺IN THE KINGDOM OF NAVIA🌺🌺 Callan rose from the bed when he couldn't sleep anymore. He was sweating profusely from the nightmare he just had. Bids and pieces of images that doesnt make sense, filled with screams and human torture. He knows it's slavery at it's peak, and that was one thing he knows for sure about himself. He is a slave and he was left for death. A young woman saved him somehow and an old woman saved me too by bringing him to this kingdom. A privileged woman in this kingdom has been so dedicated, taking care of him. He knows her as 'Lady'. He address her as 'My lady' because he doesn't know her name. She comes her all the time with her personal maid, bringing him foods and herbs, and helping him. He will forever be grateful to her, even though he hasn't seen her in a long while. She stopped coming around one day, and only recently, he found out that

During the princess's meetings, they talk and confide in each other, and the married ones tell them some secrets of the marriage bed.They don't care if you want it or not, and it's never pleasant too. You just lie there and take it, so you can make a baby."No... I'm not ready." She almost added that he should get on with it, because she might never be ready.But, she didn't want to push her luck. She isn't brave enough.He stepped back, causing her hand to fall away from his shoulder. Kamara could have sworn that it's relief she saw in his eyes before he blinked it away and gave her that blank stare that has become perfectly his."Get on the bed and lie down." He o

Take this."At the soft but firm command, Sally reached out with both hands and took the wrapped package.Her eyes widened to unbearable degrees. It's a small bag of coins."You can pay dowry with that on your wedding day." He said."Thank you so much, Your Highness! Thank you so much!" Sally gasped, her heart filled with gratitude. Her hands trembled as she held the unexpected gift with both hands like a cherished feat it is.She has been worried sick about how to get this money, and even though she has saved up, it's never enough. She has hidden it from Danika so that her princess wouldn't worry herself sick.And, here the king is, offering her this large amount of money.Her knees hit the

Mombana came too, and for the first time in a long time, she saw the familiar face of most of her people.Tears sprang to her eyes when her people walked past her and bowed to her. They still recognize her as their princess...even when she was dressed in rags.And the king was there too.He was seated at the front with his guards behind him, and Chad's joy about his presence was clearly written on his face. He knows how busy the King's schedule is, so he knows the sacrifice the king made to be present on his special day.Princess Kamara sat on the left side of the king with a kind smile on her face, and Vetta was seated by his right side glarin

I know he will be happy for me on this day, if he was here."King Lucien blinked hard and shook his head to get Chad's heartfelt words away from his mind.But, the words kept whispering into his mind over and over again, until he drew taut with tension like a drawn bow.If only Declan was alive...Chad had made the innocent comment after his wedding while he was greeting and thanking him for attending his special day. He'd clamped his mouth shut immediately he said those words and apologized regretfully."Declan is not some forbidden topic, just because he's dead. It's okay, Chad." Those were the words the king replied with.But the harm has been done. If only Declan Declan was still alive... If any of his family was still alive

She walked to Danika’s bedroom and saw her lyimg down on the bed, her breathing evened out. She knows that she’s sleeping even before she walked towards her front and saw her closed eyes. Even in sleep, lines of worry marred her face. Baski knows that the poor girl is more stressed lately with everything she’s going through. And, now this… She touched Danika gently. “Danika, dear you have to wake up.” Danika mumbled incoherently and settled back to sleep. “The king summons you, Danika.” Her eyes snapped open and she sprang up from the bed with so much force, her head spun. Baski held her, “Easy, easy…”

Danika would have refuted the mistress's notion, but she was too worked up to try. Indeed, the king is not big on foreplay and he doesn't like to be touched, but he is different with her. That gave her a pause. He is different with her. Surely, everything will be alright. That, more than anything, calmed her. She took the gel from Baski, entered the bathroom and used it. She came out a minute later and walked towards the door. "Danika?" She turned at the sound of Baski's voice. "Uhm?" Baski hesitated, "The king is a very damaged man. He might look well on the outside, but he is broken on the inside. He n
