Vetta arrived at the palace, going straight to the training ground, knowing that the King will be there training the young warriors.
Indeed King Lucien was there, but the training session is over. When she saw him, he was addressing Dargak in a low tone. He hasn't seen her yet, so she used that moment to really look at him.
He has changed indeed. If you aren't so close to him, you will not notice the subtle change because physically, he still looks the same. Hard, huge, scary, calm with a dominating presence that is almost domineering.
But that coldness that surrounds him like a cloak is not there any longer. It makes him look a little more...approachable.
"Vetta."
His deep voice dragged her out of her thoughts. She looked up, her eyes meeting his. Her lips stretched into a smile as she walked closer and b

Let me drink this one while Maima m-makes you another one. Please, My King." Vetta has no idea what's inside that tea but she'll be damned before she let him drink it in front of her.Shaking her head, she walked towards him and took the tea from him. It's an insolence, to snatch what the King is holding without his permission, but that is not her thought at the moment.Taking the wooden cup, she stepped out of his reach.King Lucien does not understand Vetta's insolence. But, it didn't get past him that it's the first time Vetta is making such an insolent move with him."Alright, you can take that one. I'll have Maima make me another one."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, Brother. You did everything you could. You did as you promised. You brought us out of that shíthole like you promised.""Not until it was too late," his voice sounded scrapped raw, "Not until all the damages have been done.""No, you're wrong. Damages was done, but here we are today. Salem is magnificent again, I was flabbergasted when I entered the Kingdom," Declan closed the distance between them then, grabbed his shoulders and shook him, "The Kingdom is wealthy, beautiful and prosperous again! In just six years! No, all damages was not done."Deep into that hurtful place King Lucien was buried int

His head swiveled and landed on Vetta, "What...!?" He repeated.Vetta did not move a muscle. There were tears in her eyes...tears of guilt and pain. But, she did not say a word."The Mistress has no words because she knows I speak the truth! We killed Prince Declan together and we enjoyed it!" She laughed maliciously, "It's a pity that he is still alive!"King Lucien returned fierce blue-eyes at the woman.She lifted her chin, "Yes, it's a pity that he survived! I hate it! But, I'm not worried," that evil laugh again, "My master will still kill you all! He will have the victory! He will—"

Vetta cried, "You have no idea h-how... how you have helped m-me now."He continued, "All these years, I get flashes of our time in that cage...and my last moments. I felt so much hatred towards you," he admitted, "my memories were all jumbled up. I remember a betrayal from a woman that has taken punishments for the King. I remember the woman stabbing me."Declan pulled back then and looked at her, "But as I stepped into the boundaries of Salem and my memories welcomed me, my heart set you free. I remembered fully then that it was the maid—Talia—who owns that rage and hatred.""It would have been a disaster for me if your memories didn't return..." It was a joke, but it came out tearfully.&

I do not judge you or hold a grudge against you for loving her, I trust you. I know you. I will not get between you two." he paused, "But indeed, I do not see myself liking her now, or in the future. Her father... That monster..."King Lucien only got up and patted his shoulder in reassurance. "It is okay, Deck. I will not force you to. I will not impose it on you either. I respect your decision."His uneasiness dissolved. "Thank you, brother." His usual smile crossed his face, "One great thing is that you're not in love with my woman. And you do not want to marry her.""The Princess Kamara." The King nodded, "I still can't believe that you're the peasant..., That woman loves you immensely."&n

The knowledge is going to take some time getting used to.At the sound of her door opening, her eyes slipped open. Declan stood at her door. He was dressed in a white coif robe with the rope tied into knots at the front.Her heart fluttered. The temperature of her bedroom seems to have dropped as her eyes met his."Declan..." She has no idea what she wanted to say, only that he was too far."I think I'm finally ready to take what belongs to me, My Lady. I'm ready to make you mine," His cheeks

His breathing was hoarse, his skin shone with sweat, the feral look on his face doing things to her, making her own hunger ache hotter.And when he began to move, pulling out, then driving into her, hard and deep, and with fierce intent, the pull of an intense climax got even stronger.“Callan,” she whispered raggedly. “Oh my God.…”He said nothing, but the look on his face was savage as if he were determined to wreck her, to love her, to destroy her, and nothing was going to stop him.

King Valendy, behind his desk, while the Queen sat on the bed giving him a look that managed to be both smug and elegant at the same time.King Valendy cleared his throat sheepishly. "Well, how was I supposed to know that the peasant is no peasant after all, but a Prince?""Maybe, if you had let your daughter follow her heart, we might at least notice some little little details that hints that the man does NOT behave like a peasant at all." she paused, letting that one sink in.Flapping her folding feather fan o
