Danika walked until she entered the servant's quarters. She was surprised to see Sally and Chad standing in front of her door.
Sally's eyes were bright but her cheeks were flushed. The King's personal guard stood in front of her in that usual calm way of his and he asked her things which Sally answered.
Danika couldn't make out what they were saying because she was far away. As she got closer, Sally sighted her and quickly said goodbye to Chad.
"My princess, my princess." She said as she walked towards her, her eyes swept over Danika's body.
"Sally, how are you doing this morning?"
"Oh, my princess, you can't imagine how scared I was when I woke up and couldn't find you on the bed. It was Sire Chad that told me that the king summoned you. I was so scared that the king has killed you."
The king killed he

No matter how much I try to get her to understand that she's finally safe, it doesn't believe it. I've tried to get her to eat...it doesn't matter, she won't."She finished the last word with a loud bang on the door as she entered another room in the small house. It's Danika and Sally alone in the sitting room.Sally started sobbing. "This is so terrible...! This is so horrible...! Oh, my princess, I can't imagine what Remeta is going through. She's trapped in her head! She's trapped!"She raised her eyes and swiped at her eyes, but more tears kept falling as she continued, "I can't imagine what it'll feel like being so trapped in the past....! I do my best not to remember that da
1145 word(s)Published57Danika and Sally were oblivious of the eyes the townspeople gave them as they strode to Baski's place.As usual, they were in the world of their own. Danika supported Sally's walk most of the time because Sally is still recovering. She easily gets winded when she walks too much.They rest with every few moments. At a point, Danika started urging Sally to enter her back, so she'll piggyback her."Never." Sally was adamant when she refused. She wouldn't even hear of it."Sally. I don't want you to get more hurt because---""I'll be fine, my princess. I can't get on your back, you're my princess and I'm..." she looked so horrified, she shook her head, "...it's never happening."Danika stared at the stubborn tilt of her chin and took a deep breath. "You're my best friend now, Sally. You're
1065 word(s) Published 59 After the scene in the room, Baski was holding her breath as Danika came out of the bedroom with Remeta wrapped tightly in her arm. Remeta agreed to bathe. Sally and Danika helped her with that. Sally helped her bath her body clean, while Danika spoke reassuring words to her. Remeta agreed to eat. Sally and Danika were there to help her. They fed her until she was full. While they did that, Baski walked to her wardrobe and picked out clean clothes for her which they helped her pick on. Danika picked up a comb and sat the girl in front of a big mirror in her mother's room because she already broke the ones in her room. "You treat Remeta like a princess, my Queen," Remeta whispered in a hoarse voice, a smile on her face as she swiveled her head to stare at Danika so lovingly. Danika ran the co
1226 word(s) Published 60 They arrived in the palace and already, it's time for Danika to join the king in court. They all walked to her bedroom. Danika was able to convince Remeta to stay with Sally and Baski. At first, she refused. "I'm going to to the guards to give out orders to them to keep away from you whenever they see you." Danika had said to her. That, more than any persuasion had worked. "Alright, My Queen. Thank you, My Queen. Remeta will be happy if you do this for her." She'd whispered in that tiny voice. Danika stared worriedly at Baski and Sally. She doesn't know how to go about the fact that Remeta was determined to keep addressing her as 'My Queen'. No matter how she tries to dissuade the girl, she's determined to use those honorifics. Danika hopes that she or Remeta won't be punished for it. <

"I-I'm so sorry mistress...!" She pulled out the socks and started afresh. "Useless idiot. You can't do anything right." Vetta snapped angrily at her. Uyah's hands were shaky as she finished walking the socks up the mistress's legs. She got up and walked behind the mistress to work on the fastening of her buttons. She did her best to hold the corset together as she tied the ropes. She was almost done when the ropes unfastened and the corset came out loose again. Vetta groaned angrily. She turned around and stuck Utah so hard on the face. "You can't do a thing right!" The girl's eyes watered as her cheeks stung.
1285 word(s) Published 62 Tears burned the back of her eyes as she saw the scar that outlined his organ. It ran from base to the tip. The fried nerve endings were there for her to see. Her father really did roast his privates. The proof of that knowledge made her chest burn. It's no wonder that he's always so rough with her. It must be the only way for him to feel pleasure. Her father had done this. She couldn't resist staring up at him then, and she did. He was wearing an angry snarl on his face as he looked down on her. Her eyes were watery as her eyes heard him. She didn't try to hide the emotions. Didn't try to hide the tears. "It must have hurt so bad..." The whisper tore from her lips before she could stop it. The words out she couldn't call them back, her eyes mirrored her horror for saying thos
1083 word(s) Published 63 Danika's eyes was closed when she felt the lips that perched on her forehead. Her eyes snapped open and she watched, wide-eyed as King Lucien kissed her on the forehead. The touch of his lips lingered. She closed her eyes and savored the feeling. He's kissing her forehead. The king is putting his lips on her. She could hardly believe it. Of all the reactions she expected from him, this was never expected. He's putting his mouth on her. Truly, it was worth it. He pulled back finally, and stared her in the eyes. "Good job." He said at last. She glowed over the compliment and bowed her head, "Thank you, master." Her voice came out a little hoarse and scratchy because of way she just pleasured him. When he leaned back on his seat, she pulled away from him. That is when she

She also knows that it's the reason King Lucien didn't visit.King Lucien has a deep affection for Remeta. She and Declan had been one of the king's highest weaknesses back in captivity. King Cone knows this and he exploited those weaknesses mercilessly.He made ten-year-old Remeta the king's slave because he knows that it'll drive King Lucien mad. It did.All the nights and days he had to listen to Remeta's screams to whatever King Cone or his guards did to her, he goes berserk. He goes all insane like
