She couldn’t remember what they talked about. But he’d allowed her.
He allowed her. He had taken her into his arms, and he allowed her. He even answered her questions. For the first time, she’d really looked him in the face up close, and he allowed her.
He allowed it because he thought she wouldn’t remember. After all, she’d been heavily drugged with pills and potions.
She wiped the expression of knowledge from her eyes. He didn’t need to know that she had remembered their private moment. She’d try her best to remember their conversation later.
Their eyes held for a long time before he lowered his to the sealed scroll in front of him. “Get out. Tell Baski that I summon her presence here.”
“Yes, Master.” She turned and walked out of his chambers.
With each step she took, she couldn’t help but remember the night before. The memories…
She had always thought that whenever she finally got a close look of his face, she would see the monster he was. The monster that had tortured her and inflicted pain on her body.
She didn’t see a monster last night. She saw a heavily scarred and wounded man.
Baski entered the king’s chambers and found his servants dressing him in his royal court garment.
“My king. You summoned me,” she said immediately, her head lowered.
King Lucien said nothing while two royal seamstresses dressed him. Baski kept quiet, already used to her king’s nature and silence.
The king was very sensitive about the scars on his body, and because of that, only the twin seamstresses, Mora and Dora, dressed him.
Not the royal dressers or the maids or the servants. Just them, or Chad or Vetta, or even herself.
“You can go,” he said.
The seamstresses bowed and scurried out of the room. His royal garments weren’t on properly. Some buttons hadn’t been closed.
He stared at Baski.
The older woman walked closer and started working the buttons in silence. After the buttons, Baski set the cape of his garment on his shoulders.
When he spoke, his words were curt and to the point.
“Make sure she doesn’t work for many days to come, Baski. Send out orders to the maids, slaves, servants, and slave trainers, both in the palace and in the mine sites. They should all stay out of her way. I find out she worked, and the person responsible will be punished.”
“Yes, my king.” Baski wasn’t really surprised. It was just like the night he had visited the girl in her bedroom. He had given orders just like this-only less magnanimous.
“That girl… Sally…” he paused. “These orders extend to her, too. At least for today.”
“I understand, my king.”
Just like that day, he pinned her with a glare. “I don’t need feedback, Baski. I don’t care. Make sure they don’t work.”
“Of course, my lord.”
He nodded once. “You’re dismissed.”
THE PAIN AND THE JOY
Danika did her best to better remember the events of the previous night as she walked to her room, but the conversation was blurry.
She was curious about what they said, and she didn’t know why. Maybe because she couldn’t believe that the ice king would ever talk with her-never mind answering her questions… repeatedly.
But what questions did she ask? She couldn’t remember.
When she got to her room, Sally was already rushing towards her. One look at Danika’s face had relief coursing down Sally’s body.
“Oh, thank the creator! I was so scared throughout the night. I thought maybe the king would kill you! I’m so relieved that you’re alright, my princess!”
“I’m glad I’m alright too, Sally.” She surprised Sally when she filled the distance between them and wrapped her arms around her.
Tears filled Sally’s eyes, and she hugged her princess so tightly. A lot of things had scared her yesterday. She could still remember the terror coursing through her body when she saw her princess unconscious.
“My princess, I’m so glad you’re alright,” she sniffled.
Danika knew she would have died yesterday. She was almost sure that she felt life leaving her body. Sally had saved her life.
“Thank you for saving my life, Sally. I know you’re the one that saved me.” Danika patted her back reassuringly.
Sally shook her head miserably. “I was almost too late! I thought no one would help. I was so scared that the wicked mistress would kill you!”
Danika pulled away from her. Using her index finger, she collected the tears that ran down Sally’s cheeks. “Tell me what happened… afterwards.”
Together, they walked to the bed and settled down on it. Sally told her everything that had happened. How she pleaded with Madam Baski and how Madam Baski helped her to plead with the king.
“You went to the king alone?” Danika asked, wide-eyed.
Sally nodded vigorously. “I was so desperate, my princess. I didn’t really stop to think it through.” She told her how they pleaded with the king. How scared she was when the king dismissed her. How Madam Baski knelt and begged with her too.
“Baski? She pleaded f-for me?” Danika was so surprised.
Sally nodded again. “Yes, my princess.” She told her that Madam Baski told the king about how Sally brought them food when they were enslaved and all the difficulties she had to go through.
“But how did she know that? You didn’t tell any of them about it.”
