Declan raised his hands' palms out. "I do not mean any offense, brother. I do not judge you or hold a grudge against you for loving her, I trust you. I know you. I will not get between you two." he paused, "But indeed, I do not see myself liking her now, or in the future. Her father... That monster..."
King Lucien only got up and patted his shoulder in reassurance. "It is okay, Deck. I will not force you to. I will not impose it on you either. I respect your decision."
His uneasiness dissolved. "Thank you, brother." His usual smile crossed his face, "One great thing is that you're not in love with my woman. And you do not want to marry her."
"The Princess Kamara." The King nodded, "I still can't believe that you're the peasant..., That woman loves you immensely."

His breathing was hoarse, his skin shone with sweat, the feral look on his face doing things to her, making her own hunger ache hotter.And when he began to move, pulling out, then driving into her, hard and deep, and with fierce intent, the pull of an intense climax got even stronger.“Callan,” she whispered raggedly. “Oh my God.…”He said nothing, but the look on his face was savage as if he were determined to wreck her, to love her, to destroy her, and nothing was going to stop him.

They are in court.His hands linger for a few more seconds before he pulled back from her completely.Finally, when King Lucien can no longer ignore the shocked gasps, whispers of bewilderment, and hushed murmurings, he turned and faced the Mombana Court.Everywhere went silent immediately. No sound was heard. No even a harsh breath."I know you all wonder why I am here today. Not only in Mombana, but in the Royal Court." He stated firmly."Yes, Your Majesty." The Ministers responded uniformly, bowing their heads."I am here to ask for Queen Danika's hand in marriage."

The guards ran into the Royal Court to await a command from their Queen."Shit!!" The word tore from King Lucien's throat. He turned towards Danika, "What's going on?""My waist! It hurts!" The Queen cried. Holding her waist like a lifeline, she bent over, trying to find a position that'll relieve the pain. There was none."The Kingdom is under attack!!" Another guard shouted, raising his voice about the loud crashes outside and the chaotic noises of the people inside the Court."Heavens!" King Lucien lowered down to become eye level with her belly, he placed his hand on the bump and caressed it, "Not now, son. It's not safe. Please, you have to help

Her son must have heard her pleads and decided to have a little bit of mercy on her. Oh, the pain is still there—so much—but Danika was feeling just a little bit better. So, she made her way out of the bathroom. In short, steady steps—the best she could muster—she walked down what remained of the long hallway that leads to her bedroom. Her hand clutching her aching waist, her belly hurting. She can hear the war-cries, but it sounded so far away from the Royal Chambers. Worry gnawed at her, adding to her pains. Worry about her Kingdom. Her Lucien. Baski. Chad. Sally. Her people. The ministers... How are they doing? Why hasn't Chad come back? Has something happened to Sally? To Baski?

So, she pushed away from the door and started deeper into the bedroom.Vetta was most surprised when she walked towards her and lowered herself on the bed beside her."Uhm, what do you think you're doing?" Vetta asked her, bewildered. The woman was sitting too close to her."I need to rest...my feet. They hurt so bad."Vetta looked at the said feet in question. Her huge elegant gown covered her feet, stopping her from seeing anything. Not that she wanted to see anything."Your hurting feet, your business. Give me my knife, let me get out of here."
