LOGINThe water and the food ready, Bami woke Lyra up from sleep. She was persistent about it. At last, Lyra opened her eyes reluctantly. Bami got behind her head and pulled her up, helping her to lie in her arms, she supported Lyra's head with against her blossom. "You have to eat to keep strong. Your wounds will heal faster too." "Alright, Bami..." She whispered drowsily. Bami spoonfed her gently, and she ate obediently. In the silence that followed, Bami fed there the first course of the meal from the tray. When the plate became empty, Bami dropped it beside the bed and picked up a full plate of tomato bisque soup. She used the spoon to feed it to Lyra. The more Lyra ate, the more she began to feel better and less sleepy. She shifted uncomfortably on Bami's body and the older woman knows she wants up. "Alright, here we go." Bami helped her to sit up, she got up from behind her back and helped her to lay her back to the headboard. "Thank you, Madam Bami..." Lyra whispered hoarsel
"I can give you pleasure... Mistress." He groaned, he raised his hand to caress her face but she slapped his hand away. "Don't ever put your hand on me! Ever again! I will not tumble the sheets with dirt! How dare you even have such intentions!? I am the King's woman!" Her eyes filled with fire even as her traitorous body reacted. But, she's determined never to lay with him. How dare he!? Now that his intentions are clear, Andrew became bolder. "The king will never know. And it's just this once." "You're not touching my body." She spoke through gritted teeth. "You take the money and get us out of this mess you put us in!" Andrew almost reminded her that it was her idea to carry out that plan, but he didn't. Instead, he boldly run his hand down her arm. "This mess is a big one, Mistress. And it will not look good if we're caught."Those women knows you only. They will rat on you only." She smiled superiorly."And I will rat on you." He informed her shamelessly.The smile vanished
Scarlett had a sleepless night and also the night before. Very restless night. She couldn't leave the palace all morning because her quarters were being cleaned out and it will make the maids suspicious if she goes out by that time and they out for long. She waited impatiently, and by afternoon, the worry was almost eating out her liver. When the maids were done with their thorough cleaning of all the rooms in the Mistress Quarters, she sent them all away. Then, she dressed up in a yellow, well-embroiled corset and a very long veil to match with it so that her face will be hidden when she goes out of the palace. It was a very long walk as usual, because she couldn't take the carriage. That would raise suspicion too. She knocked on Andrew's door when she finally arrived. It's so cold outside and her insides are in chaos as she waited impatiently for him to open the door. A few minutes passed before the door opened and Andrew got out. "You left me standing out here!" She hissed
King Ryker walked into the dungeon. The two new prisoners got up and knelt before him in greeting."Your H-Highness..." They said in reunion, their voices showed their nervousness.King Ryker stood at the entrance of it and looked at both women.He has a fleeting memory of them back in Auroria. He has never known her to be wicked. Her actions were unexpected.He closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the image of Lyra lying down there all bandaged up and in pain.The actions of his people... It was animalistic.He just stood watching the two women, his expression as hard as cold as ever. It makes both of them as nervous as ever.His silence wasn't making it any easier for them. They waited for him to talk but he wouldn't say a word."We're so sorry! Oh, please...! We're so sorry...!" they began crying seriously.Tears filled their's eyes and she sniffled silently, looking as remorseful . The two older women were still kneeling and their heads bowed."I am so disappointed in the
"How are you feeling, Lyra?" He repeated, watching her carefully. "My body hurts." She whimpered, her voice slurred. "My child... What about my child...?" The king didn't miss a beat when he groaned, "She's fine. She's sleeping with Bami." Knowing she was referring to Veroni. It has gotten to his notice time and again that she takes Veroni like her child, even though it's only a few years between them. Everyone in the palace knows how possessive she is of that girl. "Oh..." She breathed out in relief, her head rolling aside. "My body hurts..." "The medicine man said that you will be fine. You have to be fine." His voice was a harsh command. His hand tightened on hers. She kept quiet. Only breathed harshly, sweat pouring from her face. She's in a lot of pain. The king noticed. He let go of her hand and got up. He walked to the table and poured drinking water into the wooden cup there. He turned back to her and raised her head slightly. "Here, drink this." She
Scarlett can't believe the sight in front of her. Her hand on the wall of the side of the window balled into fist. The king stayed that way. He didn't raise his head. It's as if a bound is holding his head to her belly, and he isn't ready to pull away anytime soon. The sight was hurting Scarlett's eyes too much, she reached for the doorknob of the bedroom, but Bami held her hand. It forced her to look at Bami's face and the older woman was shaking her head. Bami wanted to talk but she can't do so in front of there or they'll risk being seen by the king. So, she pulled Scarlett away from the window and away from Lyra's bedroom until they reached the hallway in the other side of the palace. "No, you can't go in there, Scarlett. Lyra needs ultimate rest and she doesn't need to be disturbed at the moment." Bami informed her.Scarlett almost snorted. She has no intention of going in there because she's worried for Lyra or anything. She wanted the king to see her and sever all phy
In the morning of the fifth day after the night the king visited her, Lyra got ready to go to the mines. She woke up and took her bath. She put on her uniform and made her hair. She stared herself in the mirror for so long, staring at who she became. Twenty-two years of living as a princess, an
"Someone wants to see you, Your Highness," Vane announced, coming into Ryker’s room. He was tying up the Imperial letters he's finished writing. He looked up to Vane, "Who is it?" Vane shifted uncomfortably, "She refused to leave. We've tried everything possible to get the girl to go but she re
Lyra was still kneeling, she stared up at the King, her heart beating in her chest. She doesn't know what to expect.Will he share her or command her torture session?"Get up and strip, Lyra." He commanded, opening up yet a new scroll.Vane was in the room and for the first time, Lyra couldn't pick
The next morning, Lyra got her slave uniform. A short gown that stopped just after the knees. She put it on and made her hair. She was taking away early to the slave mines. The mines are mostly where slaves work day and night, helping to extract valuable minerals from the ground. Lyra saw none
