Danika snapped her head up so fiercely, "She'll survive! Don't say that, doctor! She'll be fine! S-Sally is a fighter... My Sally is a fighter.... s-she will be fine! She will be....!" She cried so hard.
Baski grabbed her and hugged her to her chest impulsively.

Then, he felt a weight on top of him. Declan had fallen on him, shielding his body with his. Declan is twenty-two when he was twenty-nine. Declan, who's always been 'the pretty boy' as the guards like to call him. They like to pick on him, but Lucien always shielded and protected him. No matter what he had to do to protect him. Lucien had a lot of weaknesses back in captivity because he cared about all his people, but Declan was his greatest weakness. Coza was furious, he started whipping Declan instead. Declan's hoarse shouts filled the air with each stroke of the whip but he never got up.

She tried not to think about what's about to happen. She tried not to think about what has happened. She tried not to think about the Royal Court. She tried not to think about Sally's condition. Instead, she squeezed her eyes tight, hearing the ruffle of clothing behind her. He'd said he wouldn't hold back. And while that warning scared the living daylight out of her, she wanted it. She needed it. The bed dipped and King Lucien came up behind her. The tip of his swollen phallus nudged her opening. She spread her thighs wider, as wide as she could, readying herself to take the full length and girth of him. But he withdrew, instead, he pressed his hand on her

But, he merely laid atop her and pushed inside her hurting warm body again. Danika was overwhelmed, she doesn't know this position. He came down on top of her, she felt his clothed body blanketing her. No, his body wasn't clothed anymore, Danika noted instantly as her finger met his naked skin. He has removed his clothing and her searching finger met the hard rough surface of his stomach. Scars. With that three seconds flex of her finger, she felt them. So many scars. Then, his hands took hers and raised it high above her head. He resumes thrusting into her body, his body large and heavy on top of hers.

The brightness of the day glared hard through the windows. That was when the events of last night floated through his mind. He stared at Danika. She sleeps soundly beside him, oblivious of every other thing. Her eyes lowered to her naked body. At the privacy of his own mind, and even with a little bit of anger at himself for noticing, he admitted to himself that she has the most beautiful body he'd ever seen. He'd seen a lot. Red marks that weren't there last night, marred the beautiful skin in several places. It reminded him of the way he'd had her. A crease of frown knitted his eyebrow. He'd been released twice.

She sat there on the bed while the King took off his clothes and changed into new ones. She tried to keep being calm, it was a struggle. How can Danika spend the night in the King's bed and he allowed her!? He'd never—NEVER—let her lay on the bed, but he took sexual pleasures from his slave on this bed, and he also let her sleep on it. How is that even possible!? He'd found satisfaction with her too, she knows this. Chad was never in here and she wasn't too. It was that bitch! Vetta's head was poundi
Danika reached the underground bedroom to see Baski walking out of the door with a bowl of water and shutting the door behind her. Baski saw her coming, taking on the fear on her face, her swollen eyes, the tentative walk, and the red mark on her arm. "Please, how is Sally?" Danika asked, her heart in her throat. She was most surprised when Baski's eyes teared up. "Oh, Danika...." She dropped the bowl of water on the ground and walked to her. Danika was shocked when Baski wrapped her arms around her. "You made him sleep... He slept because of you... You don't know how happy you made me...!" Baski cried in a whisper. Stunned, Danika remained still until the older woman pulled away from her. She had a smile on her face as she looked up at her, "I checked on him twice and he was still sleeping..." Baski said with awe. "Uhm...does it mean that the king doesn't sleep well?" Danika asked, confused, "I know he's

Sally heard her wince and she lifted concerned eyes towards Danika, "Are you...alright, my p-princess?" The question so softly asked...so brokenly asked...caused tears to fill Danika's hurting eyes immediately. She pushed closer and wrapped her arms around Sally's body, burying her face on her neck. "Oh, Sally.... How can you ask about me when you're the person that's hurt!? Why did you do it!? Why!? Why did you have to do that to me Sally...?" She cried. Sally doesn't like seeing her cry. She has never liked it. Hearing her princess's cries, feeling the way her body was shaking against hers, was hurting her badly. "My princess.... Please, don't cry." She whispered

"You need to exercise those muscles," Baski went ahead saying, "You need to walk around for some time, every day. You'll heal faster." "I do want to get some fresh air..." Sally admitted. "I'll take you. We'll go together. But I'm so scared of what will happen..." Danika trailed off in a whisper, saving the rest unsaid. Baski knew what she was trying to say. She's scared of what will happen if people find out that Sally was the one that got introduced instead of her. Baski sent the other maid to go get her a big bowl and the maid left. "Uyah?' Baski called. " Yes, Madam Baski?" The girl said eagerly. "
