'"Your Majesty!" Three guards behind him answered at the same time, stepping forward.
Dread filled Baski. Whatever it is he has to say made her so scared. New tears filled her eyes. "Please, Lucien... Please..."
He didn't spare her a glance. "Take the slave to the dungeon. I, King Lucien, sentence Slave Danika to death. She will be hanged on the morning of the fourth day from today, at the square."
Baski began crying earnestly.
He didn't miss a beat as he continued, "Until that day, she will remain in the dungeon with no food and water." That said, he turned and walked out of the storeroom.

She stopped when she saw Danika lying down on the cold ground several feet away for her.She turned to Dargak who's stood behind her, "Open this cell for me, please.""You know the King did not instruct it. It will get me into a huge trouble." The warrior answered gently.Baski knows all that, but she was desperate. The King hasn't gotten out of his bedroom since he walked into it in the morning. The sun is down now, it's late evening."I won't put you in trouble, Dargak. I will take full responsibility being caught inside her cell. But you have to let me in, please.

I will do everything I can to---""I don't think there is anything that can be done." She paused and swallowed, "I c-can't stop seeing the King's face in the store room. That coldness. He trusted me... He thinks I betrayed him...in so many ways."More tears left her eyes as she continued hoarsely. "He has never used the collar on me, not in a long time.

Callan was beating up his head six ways to Sunday for blurting out a request like that. She's a Lady, and peasants don't ask Ladies for kisses. What was he thinking? But that was just the problem. He wasn't. All evening he'd been drawn to that bow-shaped pink lips repeatedly. The princess is a very beautiful woman. He shifted uneasily from one foot to another. "I'm so sorry for asking this of you. It was nevery intention to insult you and put you in an uncomfortable situ---" "Shh..." She took a step towards him and placed a finger to his mouth, shaking her head, "I did not see it like an insult.'' "Oh..."

His back aches. His butt aches too.They are nothing compared to the ache in his heart. If he doesn't know better, he would say that he has developed a chest problem. He knows better, but the knowledge does not help.The headache pounding the back of his head was too severe, he drank from the bottle of whiskey in his hand and lowered his head. The bottle empty, he dropped it beside the seven empty other bottles and picked up a new bottle.He was tipsy, but he isn't drunk. He never gets drunk and he hasn't drank in years.&

You know how much I enjoy being with you." She'd reassured him, hiding her pain very well."Vetta---""Can't you c-curb your needs?
