Kamara is desperate. She can no longer sleep in peace, nor can she eat without indigestion... especially since she has no appetite at all. Not since she overhead her father's conversation with his General about Callan.
It has been two months since Callan was put in that godforsaken dungeon, her father only ordered that he shouldn't be fed, but he has not ordered any torture session or any verdict about what will happen to Callan.
That had gotten her worried as hell because she knows her father. His feigned ignorance doesn't mean he forgot at all, it only means he is planning something much more worse.
Her worries was confirmed last week, when she overhead his conversation with his General when he was angrily telling the General that he's been waiting for King Lucien to come calling for her, but the King was determined to shame him after

He walked with a slight limp that comes with standing on his feet for so long. It was a very busy day like it has been for the past two months.Earlier in the day, he got Princess Kamara's letter, and he was forced to open it.Other letters, he did not bother to open because frankly, he does not care whatever its content might be. He has no intentions of marrying the Princess.But, when it came from a messenger, he deduced that there must be more to the letter—there has to be for the messenger to be sent all the way from Navia to Salem.So, he'd opened and read it.Indeed there was more to the letter.

Vetta whirled towards the entrance of the cave, ignoring the blow to her chest by that name. "You truly don't think you can just walk out of here, do you?" His amused voice came again. "You only have to watch my back as I leave, Monster!" She spat without turning back. "I need your help." Vetta whirled around so fast, it was a spin. She took two deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down. When she got a semblance of control, she pinned him with eyes filled with so much hate it would have staggered a lesser human...or a lesser monster. "I will rather die than help you with anything." She stated matter-of-factly. He clutched his chest in mock

She hissed, "it's always about threats is that it? Always threats. Blackmail. Always."He shrugged, unperturbed. "It does the work better than anything else. Mostly because you know that I am a man of my words.""While other men's words are gold, your own word is aluminum." She crossed her arms, "I will still work out of this door, and let me tell you what will happen. I will go to the King and I will tell him everything. The rat he thinks is dead is not dead. Instead, he's in a dirty cave craving power.""Poor Vetta. You are so so so pathetic. I heard he gave his love to another? After all the sacrificing and everything

The Queen was grumpy and reluctant to go.After being in court for half of the day, she just wants to lie down on the bed and sleep the whole night away...if the sleep will come. But, Baski dragged her out of the palace.When the night's air hit Danika, most of her grumpiness disappeared and as their walk progressed, she admitted that an evening walk isn't a bad idea."You have a lot on your mind, My Queen," Baski observed as they walked towards the palace garden."I do have a lot on my mind. I tell myself to stop worrying always, like you always tell me, but sometimes I can't help myself, Baski.""Is it because of the impending marriage?""Yes.

He did his best to ignore his visitor while he concentrates on the spells he's trying to wove together but it is proofing to be an impossible feat. Who can ignore a man like this one? His visitor dominated his sitting room. Dressed in the most expensive leather he has ever seen in a long time, everything about him screamed 'power' even without a crown on his head. A long scar slashed his left cheek, giving him a savage look he would have done without—the man will look scary either way.

His shoulders knotted with a strong emotion that can almost be interpreted as rage. So cold."Is anythin
