Danika whirled around and faced Remeta, she bent down and shook the girl firmly enough to penetrate into her haze. "Remeta, listen to me! Remeta, sweetie, no one is taking you to bed!"
"But, he....!" Wide eyes filled with terror fretted towards the king before she averted it again and shook her head vigorously.
"No, Remeta. He will never take Remeta to bed! He's a king!" Danika tried to assure her.
More terror filled Remeta. "K-King Cone...!? He found me...?" She asked in a small frightened voice.

"The last time I saw little Remeta, she had herself cut open with a broken glass from the cup her mother used to bring water for her. She would have killed herself that day if I didn't have the two maids I went with, and her mother to restrain her."She gasped in horror. She didn't know that it was this bad for Remeta."They were able to put her to sleep even as she kept mumbling; 'no life, no bed', no life, no bed'. She added, mama please just let me die.....""Oh heavens..." She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes tearing up immediately."I never visited again. It broke me seeing that child that way.

Or he birthed a devil who's pretending to be an angel?"Danika's heart squeezed so tight in her chest that for a moment, it was very hard for her to breathe. She wasn't supposed to feel pain at his statement, but the pain is all she breathed.He has no reason to trust her, and her father made sure to solidify his hate for her, and so she doesn't blame him that he would think her so capable of such atrocity. Doesn't make it hurt less.She raised her eyes from the floor and met his, "I don't live a life of pretense, Master. I-I only live. I have no mapped out way of living the future.

He is a man that never sleeps. Time dragged by, his labored breaths filled the air. His arms around her loosened, but never fell away. His hair was so soft, she just wanted to keep running her hands on it. She didn't know she started humming until a new soft sound joined his breathing in the air. She wished there was a way to erase the past fifteen years of his life. Of all their lives. But then again, wishes have never been horses, or beggars would have ridden it too.

She continued.Danika placed a hand on her shoulder, "All slaves, maids, and servants are under Madam Baski and she already knows that you're here. If the king finds out..." she bit her lips, "....we'll cross that bridge later."Sally nodded her head. "Alright, my princess." hef lips stretched in a smile, "We live in the moment. No point thinking about tomorrow, right!?"Danika nodded with a smile. "Exactly. How was your day at the market?"Sally flushed a little and ducked her head.Danika's brows rose in question.

Sally skidded her way in front of them, smiling happily and greeting everyone. They returned her greeting with the same enthusiasm. Danika was holding Remeta's hand, the girl pressed close to her, so afraid of the crowd of people they passed. After staying indoors for so long, she isn't used to them at all, especially the way they look at her. They just cut through another route when a small child suddenly ran headfirst into Danika.
