The fresh breath of the evening air surrounded them. Birds flew overhead. The sound of the soft turbulence of water. The caress of the wind on their skin as refreshing.
Two lovers were walking along the beach, towards the forest that leads to the Palace.
A big, powerful man in gold and red coloured garment, his dark hair held in a small clip at the back of his head. And a woman in plain but well-ironed grey gown that dented at her middle because of her swollen belly, before pulling down to her ankle.
They walked together, their steps measured and even, they walked like aristocrats. But all is not as it seems, because one is a King and the other is a Slave.
King Lucien was too quiet again. Silence has always been his motto, but these days, his silence made her uncomfortable.

"I read in one of the parchments that back aches occurs when the baby is developing healthily," his hand circled her belly, he rubbed softly, "when the baby is developing, the uterus is expanding which puts pressure on your blood vessels, the nerves in the pelvis and your back."She practically melted into him, her hand resting on top of his, on her belly.

He can almost see himself floating...Maybe, it wasn't such a bad thing. Whoever said that he wants to keep living?He'd been beaten. Starved. Mocked. King Cone stood by the corner while they used him as a playing ground. His laughter and snickers of enjoyment alone cause prince Lucien's heart to rage.His manly parts alone they started a brand new hellfire right there. The burns...the pain...coming from that part of him, will be the death of him.But, who will save his people while he's gone? Who will protect Declan...? Vetta...? Baski...? Chad...?

"Cone gave her a mission to sneak into the home of a Privileged and kill his wife. I don't have any idea why he would want the woman dead, but Cone had a lot of enemies. She couldn't get past that kill, because the woman she was sent to kill was a woman she knows. A woman she cared for." He revealed in a low voice. That was unexpected. "What...!?" He turned and faced her then, standing in the middle of the room, while she was seated behind his desk to alleviate her hurting legs. "Vetta's parents were slaves owned by the Raskin family. Her mother died at childbirth, her father fell sick and dropped dead while worki

She was broken to pieces, and yet she was so strong even after slavery, because she made me the center of her world.She buried all the memories of her life, and channeled all her energy and her whole life to being with me. That was the reality she used to escaped her past, and that was also why she held onto that reality for so long because she knows that if it goes, she has nothing else to hold on to. Nothing else to escape to. I didn't realize this one time.""Oh, Lucien....""I was so engrossed in myself, I did not see what was happening beneath my nose. If I didn't neglect her so much, I would have realized what she was doing on time and try to stop her.

Danika didn't think it was possible but he looked sadder as his eyes rested on the unfinished scroll lying at one part of the table.Then, he shook his head, "I have to finish up with work. It's a message, I need the messenger to send it out to the several kingdoms on the morrow.""What is the message all about?" She asked softly.Jaws locked, he looked away. "Nothing of great importance. Go and sleep, I will join you later."The stubborn lock of his jaw told her that he wouldn't be saying anything else about the 'work', so, she accepted his words with a nod. "Alright, My King."She has no idea when she grew accustomed to that kiss in the forehead and the belly, which he always gave her in private whenever they are about to part ways,

The guard hurried past her, the sound of keys opening a lock filled the air, followed by the sound of deadbolt opening.She nodded her gratitude, the guard acknowledged her before he hurried out of the cell. She looked around sadly, holding the wrapped food tightly in her hand.She can't believe that it has been four months she got out of this place. It feels like ages ago.Her eyes took in the familiar stone walls. There was a light coming in from inside the dungeon, which shows that someone is in there. Other times, the light bulb is off.For a moment, she relished the first time she was in this place. Her hand touched her collar absently...He'd collared her and kept her here for over a week.

If you love him so much, why will you wish such great pain on him by killing his only child? Knowing fully well that he can't sire another?"Silence. For a few seconds, the silence was deafening.Then, Vetta uncoiled from the ground, sitting up with her back to the cold wall, her hate-filled held Danika's. "What do you mean by that!? What do you mean that he can't sire another...?"At the clear confusion in her voice, it dawned on Danika that the Mistress doesn't know of the King's condition.She snapped her mouth shut.

His daughter is still messing around with the peasant, he wouldn't listen."Automatically, Kamara got in front of Callan in a protective stance. "Why are you being this way? You think my father will finally crown you the Head Concubine with this?""Oh, I know he will. Because I just proved that I'm looking out for him yet again. He will make me the Head Concubine, then, I'll birth him a child and my son will be a prince." She smirked.Kamara's heart thudded in her chest because she's been caught and she put Callan in trouble, not because of Donna's claims that she will stop being the Head Mistress and be crowned the Head Concubine. That isn't a problem to her.Kings has NOT made Head Concubines in centuries for a good reason. They don't even think about it."Le
