THE ARRIVAL OF THE END OF DAWN.
Seven weeks later.
Queen Danika is in court again. There is discussion about the upcoming Fire Festival which is a very important festival in Mombana, it is celebrated once in every year. The discussion is going on around her, but her mind is so far away from there.
Her child is long overdue to come, but he hasn't. It relieves and disturbs her at the same time.
It relieves her because Lucien hasn't been able to come back to Mombana again like he promised he will. Through his occasional messages from the messenger bird, he has been so busy with his Kingdom and a lot of marital procedures with the Kingdom of Navia.
It took a little longer because King Valendy fell sick, and had only recently recovered from his illness but everything has been concluded because Kamara will be a

Queen Danika's voice held firm belying the fear inside her. Vetta can only keep staring at her. Coza has been disturbing her for the past weeks for her to carry out her own part of the deal. She paid him no heed at all, because she is not killing Danika as part of any deal she made with the monster but because this is her revenge. This is her revenge. Her pain. Her hate. Her vengeance. She will do it on her own terms. In her own time. Which is why she's in this bedroom today. The hatred she feels for this woman. She pain she and her father had caused her.

The seers said that it's a miracle we are having a child now..." She caressed her belly lovingly. The world tilted around Vetta. She wanted to rage at Danika for telling her a lie like that in an effort to save her own head, but suddenly, a lot of things were starting to make sense to her. Why she never got pregnant for him for the past five years she's been his mistress even when she took fertility pills, only to get pregnant with Karandy's child after that one time... All those women were brought into the palace and slept with in the next year after their slavery... Why he was so happy when he found out about this child... It suddenly made s

His waking moments are no better.An hour after midnight, he was wide awake with a hurting heart and a head filled with painful memories of his cousin who died in the most horrible way right in front of him.In the dark of the night, he clenched his hands into fists, wishing the pain will stop. If only Danika was here...Danika. His heart unclenched a bit at the thought of her. How is she? How is his child?Getting up from the bed, he entered the bathroom, turned on the cold water overhead, and let it wash over him.Not for the first time, he regretted giving his word to help the

She'd been crying all the way from Mombana back to Salem, all through the night. Danika's apologies had thrown her off guard. It was so unexpected. As unexpected as hearing her name from her lips. She'd freaked out. Till now, there's no way to explain the way she felt in those moments, she'd done something that she'd never expected she'll do. Running away. That unplanned, uncalculated, escape cause her to bruise her arm at the unceremonious fall she'd landed on. But, the pain was hardly felt. With a soft sigh, she got up from the bed and walked towards the window. As she watched market men and women go about their daily activities and children playing around, Danika's words filled h

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!
