"I saw you and the king that night. In his chambers. On the floor. In each other's arms, asleep." Came the calm reply at last.
Danika didn't have to think hard for the mental image to come. When it did, her blood ran cold. She saw her intimate night with the king.
"Oh..." Danika muttered guiltily.
She doesn't know what to say about that. Once a princess herself, she can understand the disrespect Kamara feels. Not to mention the anger and even hurt.
Kamara let out a deep breath. "I'm not angry at you. I'm not even hurt, or I would have done something about it these past few weeks."
"You aren't?" Danika asked, uncertain and bewildered.
"No, I'm not. Sadly, what I saw made it easier for me to understand a lot of things. I made peace with it."
"I don't understand."

I will miss seeing you, Danika.""I will miss seeing you too, Kamara." Danika shifted on her feet, already tired from standing for too long. "I wish you the best with your Callan.""I wish myself luck too. I still have a few weeks with him before the next step to my marriage, when King Lucien will come to ask for my hand." Kamara's lips curved sadly, "I wish a miracle will happen and I'll be with Callan instead of King Lucien. But then again, wishes has never been horses.""Yes, it has never been."

She informed her with a concerned smile.Danika's heart skipped three beats. "Baski?"The older woman walked closer and took the comb from her. She watched her through the mirror as she ran the comb through her long blonde hair. "My dear?""I've run out of time." She whispered, her hand caressing her slight bump."I know." Baski let out a shuddering breath, "I know, Danika. But, the Heavens are with you. They will guide you.""Courting week ends tomorrow. He wants to spend the night with me.""I know that too.

She has it bad for him.It isn't something she doesn't already know, but the knowledgeable never seizes to hurt her. Love is not supposed to soothe and hurt at the same time, but hers does.She opened the door quietly and let herself into his Chambers.

He doesn't want her to go. He wants her to stay with him. "As you wish, Your Highness." She replied hoarsely. She walked back to the dinning table and sat down beside him. He dug into the broth in front of him, scooping it up and into his mouth. She watched him eat, keeping quiet because she knows how much he loves his silence. There was no food in front of her, she wasn't really hungry. Just having this moment to watch him eat was enough to feel whatever hunger in her. She loves him that much. Folding her hands on her laps, she resisted the urge to caress her baby. It's a bad h

Danika asked, her eyebrows creased with worry.King Lucien isn't used to sharing his problems. He said nothing.She noticed his defensive hesitation and didn't press. He has let her in long enough for her to know him for who he is. A man who's more used to keeping to himself than talking to people.But, she already has his trust. He has already let her in. He will tell her when he's ready, and not before.After the meal, she got up and began clearing the plates. She got to his side and packed up his plates. She was about to carry it up when his arm suddenly wrapped around her midriff."Don't. Don't turn around." He ordered, stopping her impulsive movement.&nb

Lowering herself to become eye level with the boy, she ruffled his hair again. "You'll be fine, Corna. Be a good boy, okay?"Corna nodded obediently. "You are a good Qween... Very beautiful Qween."Danika smiled at him, even as she wondered what's with the little boy addressing her the same way Remeta addressed her? "I'm not a Queen. I was a princess, Corna.
