Karandy watched the woman who seated at the wooden chair at the other side of the room looking at him with a cool expression that revealed nothing.

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."

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.

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.

Maybe because you have forgotten everything we've been through. Maybe you glance at me and remember dirt..." Tears filled her eyes and she sniffled, "The same dirt King Cone created when he raped my mind and my body, right in front of you..."King Lucien slid his eyes closed, the memory made his heart—which was warm earlier in the day—go cold."He dropped a burger. Wanted me to crawl on my hands and knees, and eat it out straight from the ground with my mouth. Like a dog." He remembered one of the events.
