She’d wondered that. Every single day in that godforsaken dungeon. Did he hate her that much? Did he want to drive her insane? Why would he leave her there knowing fully well what that enclosed confinement means to her? She’d asked herself over and over again in that place.
He continued. “But then, that was what opened my eyes to everything that was happening to you. To the fact that our time of hellish captivity affected you much more than it showed. Then I remembered Anarieveta. The woman that died over and over again, so that I could live.”
Vetta lowered her eyes in shame, tears splashing on the bed. “I am so sorry, so sorry!” she sobbed.
“I told Danika about Anarieveta. She was so hurt to hear it. She cried for you. For the woman you were. I knew I had to let you out and let you go out there to the world to try and find yourself again.” He paused, swallowed. “It was also my way of doing my darndest to let go of the pains of finding out that you connived and slept with Karandy. The pains of finding out that you almost killed my unborn son and my woman.”
“I am so sorry. I will never forgive myself for that,” she sniffled, her head still lowered.
But he held her jaw and tipped her head upwards so that their eyes met. “Remembering the girl you were and sending you away helped me to let go. Today, seeing you with Danika, seeing your close brush with death, seeing the woman who saved my woman and son…destroyed the rest of that pain.” He kissed her forehead. “I forgive you, Vetta. I know Danika forgives you. I hope you forgive yourself so that you can keep living for us. We all love you, Anarieveta.”
She threw her arms around him again, sobbing opening while he patted her shoulders soothingly. She thanked him over and over again.
Vetta might be crying, but she was happy. Now she knew how to move on, and even if she had no idea what her future would look like, she knew that it was time she work towards it and figure it out by herself.
And she was ready.
In the next three months, a lot happened.
After the war and the birth of the prince, the people of Mombana practically begged King Lucien to marry their queen and keep ruling them. The ministers mostly supported it after they saw how the king protected their kingdom, saw the intense love the king and their queen had for each other and heard the rumors of the heavy rain in Salem at the prince’s birth. They wanted the king and the prince in any way they could get them. In fact, they practically begged the king to merge their kingdoms again and marry their queen if it meant that he would keep ruling Mombana.
Of course, the king agreed to it. The queen was in support of it wholeheartedly. And the people of Salem were also in support of the merge because when both kingdoms merged before, they all had a good experience. Most of them made many friendswith the opposite kingdom, and they were all too happy with the plans to bring that closeness back together again.
But as they discussed the merge in the court, King Lucien repeatedly tried to discuss preparing his brother Declan to be king of Salem in two years. But Declan was not interested in ruling the kingdom, nor was Kamara. They just wanted to let go of all the duties and burdens that came with the throne. They wanted to get married and live a simple life. One day, they told him that in all sincerity. King Lucien understood the couple and supported them.
Two months ago, Declan and Kamara were married in Salem’s church. The crowd that attended was overwhelming, including the people of Mombana and Navia.
It was a standing joke how much Princess Kamara teased her father repeatedly about being wrong about her ‘Callan.’ The people of Navia laughed about it, and Kamara did not care. Neither did her father.
King Valendy was very happy that his daughter was not only marrying royalty, but she was marrying into the most powerful kingdom in all the twelve kingdoms-no, eleven kingdoms-because of the merge. He was happy, and it showed on his face throughout his daughter’s wedding.
His queen was beside him all through the wedding, and everybody could see the renewed joy in their marriage. They got closer than they had ever been in so many years, and King Valendy wouldn’t have it any other way.
A few days before Kamara’s marriage, he stripped Donna of her position as the mistress. He sent her out of the palace because she whipped a slave badly and bloodied her back, all because of the frustration that King Valendy no longer found favor with her.
She didn’t know that it would cost her everything. And when it did, she cried like a baby as she was being thrown out of thepalace. King Valendy did not bat an eyelash at all. And Queen Izia was all too happy.
After the wedding, Queen Danika remained in Salem with Prince Nikolai. The people loved her very much. Even Declan began to warm to her when he saw how good she was-how much the people loved her.
Sally fell sick three days after Princess Kamara’s wedding. She kept ignoring it, of course, making sure to be there for her queen and princess Nikolai whenever they needed her, but one morning, she was unable to rise from bed because of a very bad fever.
Her husband panicked, so he rushed out of their house to the palace and called Baski. The older woman hurried back home with him. They were most surprised to find out that Sally was pregnant.
Surprised and very happy.
“I’m p-pregnant?” Sally gasped, tears filling her eyes.
“Yes! Oh, yes, Sally!” Baski was so elated. The older woman was smiling non-stop.
Chad stared at his wife’s belly and his eyes watered. The next thing, they were hugging and kissing with so much joy radiating from them.
When Queen Danika heard about it, it was a different kind of joy. Leaving the palace, she visited Sally and hugged her personal maid passionately to her chest. They cried and rejoiced together. Her Sally and her beloved husband were going to have a baby. Everything was alright in the world.
Now, three months after the birth of the prince, King Lucien sat at his desk and watched Danika breastfeed his baby. He loved watching her nurse his child, and she knew it. Although sometimes, he begrudgingly grumbled while giving the prince a mock glare as he nursed because he wanted to be the one sucking from her. Prince Nikolai seemed to always know hisfather’s plan whenever the king started giving him that face because that’s when the prince fed and fed with his other little hand holding the queen’s other breast possessively.
He didn’t let go whenever he was that way, making Danika almost die while trying to control her laughter.
Of course, once the baby was asleep, Baski took him to his room. King Lucien left everything he was doing and moved to Danika to get his own share. Danika always accommodated him with a wicked smile on her face.
That night, he made love to her for the first time since she birthed the prince, and it was wonderful.
It wasn’t slow or sensual. He took her hard and fast like he had wanted for a long time. It was rough but oh so sweet. Danika met him halfway, moaning and straining as he thrust into her tight sheath over and over again.
Her body drew tight like a string, the pleasure burst from her and she came with a scream, her body a shivering mess. He followed right after her, groaning and holding her tight, closer to him.
Afterward, they lay together in a tangled heap. Danika lay with her head to his chest while he caressed her hair.
“I love you so much,” King Lucien said.
A smile lit Danika’s eyes as usual. She never tired of hearing him say that. “I love you too. So much.”
“You’re the best thing that has ever happened to me. And I can’t wait to make you mine, completely.”
Their marriage was delayed because they were building a new palace on the outskirts of Salem. They tore down the border that separated Salem and Mombana and were building a very big palace there. They planned their wedding to come on the celebration of the merge, which would happen in the new palace.
Danika kissed his chest, running her fingers greedily through his scars. She loved touching him. “I will always be yours. I can’t wait either.”
They made love again. This time, it was slow, unhurried, and sensual. Sweet, beautiful love that had them moaning and straining in each other’s arms while he took her in fierce but gentle strokes, gliding into her tight body. They came together, crying out and whispering words of love together.
Thereafter, they heard the cry of their baby from his bedroom, which was the next room to the king’s chambers. Baski-who turned out to be both a nanny and a grandmother to the prince and loving the role so much-brought the prince to his mother.
Queen Danika took her baby, who had gone back to sleep in her arms, and laid him on the bed between her and the king. As he slept, they watched him for so long, their eyes filled with love and happiness.
And even after the queen gave in to exhaustion, the king watched them sleep for a very long time.
His joy is complete.
He is complete….
