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.

"That will be very compassionate of you, Your Majesty, and I will appreciate it if you can do that for me."The Queen's legs are killing her, she can no longer dance anymore. So, she stopped. "It is alright."The nobleman took her fingers again and kissed it tenderly. "The dance was perfect and I had a wonderful evening, all thanks to you, Your Highness."She forced a smile while all she wanted is to flung herself to the nearest chair. "The pleasure is all mine, Lord Riverdale."Pulling her finger away, she called the nearest guard and gave the command for a room to be prepared for the Lord of Riverdale.As Scott Riverdale walked away from the Queen, he was smiling like a man that won the toughest gambling game ever placed in Serna's tavern downtown. Maybe, he did win this tough game.

He cut off suddenly.He has never seen this man before, but the instant he set his eyes on him, Lord Riverdale knows it's him.King Lucien, the powerful King of Salem.He was bathed in darkness where he stood, no one can make out his features really well except for the blue eyes that shone in the dark.So, how did he know it's the King he has never seen but have only heard about through reverent whispe

She clung to him, hugging him so tightly, he was forced to pushed his body backwards to accommodate his child pressing against his lower belly. "I missed you terribly! I missed you so much! Please, don't let me go...! Hold me...!" Her heart has taken over her lips completely, she was crying with happiness as she laid herself bare to him. "I'm here, Dani, I missed you just as much, heavens, I missed you so much." His words were calmer, but his head has gone to rest like hers did. They were kissing again. His lips plummeted hers, he poured all the words he is not able to say into that heart-consuming kiss that grew and blazed like wildfire....and only burned brighter.

Don't he get tired of hiding in here?Coza turned and glanced at her. She isn't saying what he has not considered already. "That will be a bad idea. I sent one of my men to go and spy already. He reported that the throne is heavily guarded by his most trusted men even in his absence.""But, we can fight them—""Dargak, Zariel and Chad. These three men are the most formidable warriors, we don't just wake up and go against them without much preparations. Lucien was able to conquer Mombana and kill King Cone because he has them in his army."he paused, "Lucien is an unbeatable, formidable warrior, but he wouldn't have been able to do it on his own.""So, what are we going to do?

"Okay."Her smile is so contagious, the King wasn't aware that his face is doing something it hasn't done in the past fifteen years of his life.His lips stretched—not as wide as hers—but enough for the onlooker to recognize it for the smile it is."Okay." Then, he carried her towards the bathroom.Heavens, he smiled. It isn't much of a smile but it is something beautiful, Danika thought, her heartwarming up like the hills under the sun.He urged her to strip, he stripped out his wet clothes too.

He'd return the smile with a twitch of his lips, his face an embodiment of contentment.Afterward, he walked to the door, opened it, and took the folded clothes he knew will be there on the door."Baski said she'll bring me clothes." He answered at her curious glance. "Did the bath help? Do you still feel hot?"She flushed, a smile touched her lips, "I feel just great, thank you."He nodded once, "Get on the bed. I have something brought in for your legs and your hurting back.""Oh," it's his words that reminded her of the forgotten pain in her back.

Anywhere that holds a bad remembrance for him will show in the way his jaw will clench and his eyes goes darker.
