She rose reluctantly and walked to the bathroom.When she came back to her bedroom, she laid back on the bed. She looked around the empty room, her eyes glassed over with memories of the night before.At the emptiness of the room, she'd almost—for a second—thought she imagined it.

Her throat so closed up, she can only swallow tightly.Memories of the second to the last time she was here threatened to overwhelm her.Sally. Her poor Sally.

No one expects a King to ever give back a land he conquered. The other Kings were more dumbstruck. Danika stood in a trance while the King's words replayed themselves in her head over and over again. A free woman...? A Queen...? There's a crown on her head. Tears filled her eyes. By the gods...! "Are you sure this is what you want to do, King Lucien? Give her back her family's throne?" King Phillip asked curiously. King Moreh and King Pasih are not looking happy about this development at all. King Lucien overlooked them and stared at King Phillip. "I already gave it."

He'd taken her to bed after her emotional breakdown and made sweet love to her, her body tingled in places, her heart swearing with her love for him.If only she can give him a child. Heavens please, let me be able to have a child. We have suffered so much in this wicked world, don't we deserve a small reprieve?Her eyes stung, but she was determined not to cry again because it will only change her husband's mood if he wakes up and see her this way.She went to the bathroom and took her bath.
