Oh, Danika, you can't get anything right. Now, you've made him angrier. She chided herself inwardly.
Finally done, she got up and took the water and wet rag away. She took her time washing it and spreading it out in the rails of the big bathroom.
It's like a small world in the king's chambers. Everything is in here, a person can easily spend months and decide not to meet the sun.
That is how King Lucien made his chambers to be. The king is a private person who loves his own company more than anything. This chamber is his personal space...his personal world.
When she got out of the bathroom again, he was clothed and seated behind his desk. She took a few seconds to herself to watch him.

She can't push these words he said to her away from her mind."Just for the evening, I will be your king and not your master."It made her heart light, just thinking about it. But then, her heart doesn't stay light for long.How did she allow herself to fall for him? She fell in love so deeply, it hurts just thinking about it.She opened the door to her room to see Sally sitting on the bed. She was sewing a dress, and at the same time, she seems to be in thought."My princess...!"

Visiting him.He isn't a privileged person, he is lowborn. The King's mistress shouldn't be anywhere near him at all, but here she is, in his small living room.She was looking around the house, but she looked in thought. Her big beautiful corset covered the floor she stood on, sewed with so much lace and glistening with diamonds.She smelled of money. Power. Privilege. Everything he has always wanted."Do you know the slave called Danika?" She asked him at last, her eyes coming to rest on his face.Just at the mention of her name, anger infused Karandy. Of course, he knows that bitch of a woman. That whore tha

Sally cried excitedly as she unwrapped the dress in front of her.Danika was dumbfounded at the beauty of the dress. The plain slave wears Sally went out of the house with, wasn't so plain anymore.There was silk sewn beneath it and laces outline the upper part of the red wear. "It is so beautiful, Sally!""I know, right!?" A huge smile was on Sally's face as she watched the dress too. Then, the smile fell. "I know it's nothing compared to the dresses you are used to though...""Don't go there, Sally. That's the past, this is the present." she took the dress from her, "This is the best dress I've had presently, I won't trade it for anything."The huge smile was back again on Sally's face. "Really?

She has not been manipulative, and if she is, it is left for me to find out. I haven't found out, and so, it will only be an accusation you make without basics."He isn't believing her...!?"But, my king---"She began again."Let the subject drop." He ordered calmly, never one to raise his voice. He never has to.Vetta snapped her mouth shut, raging in her mind. He's shutting her out now? He wouldn't even listen to the things she has to say!"Your wish is my command, Your Highness." She bowed her head, biting her lips so hard to keep the words in.He picked up his book again and opened it. The silence stretched as he began going through the book again.Vetta h

It's an ordinary walk, not an invite to any gathering or any party.And yet, she is nervous. She was all dressed up and with the help of Sally, she has her hair all arranged. She came up before him and lowered her head in greeting."Mast---" she paused, swallowed, and added, "My King."King Lucien looked at her with the same expressionless face that has become his usual look. But, his eyes slid through her body.From her simple wear to her beautifully styled hair. He does not understand how one woman would carry the beauty of several women.She was not wearing the series of jewelry women from prestigious families design thems

Oh, what did Remeta say to trigger a look like this on his face?She didn't know when her arm rose on its own accord to rub soothingly on his back. She didn't know where the courage came from, but she found herself patting him.King Lucien was deep into his head before he felt the soothing caresses on his back. Remeta had spoken about babies, and it had triggered painful memories.Memories of when the healers and medicine men of the kingdom told him one after another, that he can't father a child.Memories of the first year after slavery when he had desperately tried to prove them wrong, bedding so many women of the kingdom who had been all too happ

"I am your king for this evening. Not your master." The reminder made her glow. She decided to take a leap at fate. "Then, can I ask you a question, My King?" When he gave no reply, she bit her lips. She walked right beside him in silence, inwardly cautioning herself not to overstep her boundaries again. He stretched out his hand towards her and waited. She stared at this hand in bewilderment, wondering what the silent request is. She raised her eyes to his expressionless face—which was staring ahead of them—and there was no clue on it. Surely, it isn't what she's thinking.... "Put y
