INICIAR SESIÓN"She did. She gave birth to Veroni two months before we were taken into captivity. It was hard for her... for all of us. She helped me survived during those few months. I don't think King Valen wanted me to survive them, he fed me once in five days." Lyra gasped in horror. She couldn't imagine that. How was he able to survive those times? He must have seen the unasked question in her head and answered, "Bami would request for milk to feed her new born baby and the guards will provide it for her. They'll keep guard while she fed little Veroni. Afterwards, she'll request to see me in the isolated cold cage King Valen locked me in." His eyes was far away. "The guards check the few visitors that enters to make sure they don't carry anything like food or weapons for escape." His lips curved to a side, "But then, they keep forgetting that Bami is a breastfeeding mother." Her eyes widened, "She...." He nodded. "She breastfed me for three good months." "Oh Creator...."

Lyra was still in shock when she followed the king. Moved to the fourth bedroom.... Moved to the Royal Quarters....!Tears burned the back of her eyes when it finally sunk in. Heavens, she has missed that.The floral scent of a Royal bedroom. The big space. The huge bedroom. She has missed all these and now, she'll be moved to a Royal bedroom in the royal quarters.They cut through another hallway and Lyra tried her best not to panic because of his summon, she doesn't know what's going through his head.Punish her? This time around she doesn't know if it's the punishment for the way she put her hands on him in court or it's the punishment for the name Veroni is addressing her as.When they cut through another hallway, she noticed that his steps got slower, his breathing a little out of the normal like he ran a mile.His leg! She knows this instantly, her gaze lowing to trail on his right leg from behind.He seems to be in a great deal of pain and he needs a body to lean on to relief t
The more she spoke, the more her voice rose in sheer fear and panic until her voice became high-pitched, her body trembling massively. Unadulterated pain flashed in his eyes. Bami's eyes watered at the sight of one of her daughter's crisis. Lyra whirled around and faced veroni, she bent down and shook the girl firmly enough to penetrate into her haze. "Veroni, listen to me! Veroni, sweetie, no one is taking you to bed!" "But, he...!" Wide eyes filled with terror fretted towards the king before she averted it again and shook her head vigorously. "No, Veroni. He will never take Veroni to bed! He's a king!" Lyra tried to assure her. More terror filled Veroni. "K-King Valen...! He found me...?" She asked in a small frightened voice. Lyra felt herself die inside at the mention of her father's name. She pulled Veroni towards her. "No, never. King Valen is dead, Veroni. This is King Ryker and her Royalty! He's on Veroni's side!" She froze, stilling all struggles. "R-Royalty..? On Ver
Ever so slowly, he opened his eyes. "What did you just say?" A great feeling of excitement swarm through Bami at his response. "She's doing so much better, My King! She ate and she bathe and she even let me put a healing balm on her! Oh, Your Majesty, I'm so happy today. I never thought this day will ever come!" He has leaned up as she talked, interested. When she finished, his surprise was apparent. "That is a miracle, Bami. What happened?" "It's Lyra, Your Majesty." He cocked his head to the side in thought. "Lyra?" Bami nodded her head, tears of excitement filling her eyes. "She visited with Emily today..." She proceeded to tell him everything. How Lyra was able to get through to Veroni. She purposefully left out the part about what Veroni is addressing Lyra as because she knows it wouldn't end well. She told him every other thing...including the part that Veroni insists on being with Lyra and that's why she's in the palace. Silence followed her narration because the king w
For the first time in ages, Veroni was determined to get better. She thought of taking Veroni with her to go to the king, but she doesn't want to risk it. Veroni has deep aversion for men because of what she's been through, and that is why Bami hasn't allowed any man to visit her child all these months. She also knows that it's the reason King Ryker didn't visit. King Ryker has deep affection for Veroni. She and Ronald had been one of the king's highest weakness back in captivity. King Valen knows this and he exploited those weaknesses mercilessly. He made ten-year-old Veroni the king's slave because he knows that it'll drive King Ryker mad. It did. All the nights and days he had had to listen to Veroni's screams to whatever King Valen or his guards did to her, he goes berserk. He goes all insane like a wild animal in his cage, and that's all the satisfaction King Valen wanted. Then, he'd killed Ronald. That, pushed King Ryker to the very edge of madness. He's still tethering
Lyra's eyes was closed when she felt the lips that perched on her forehead. Her eyes snapped open and she watched, wide-eyed as King Ryker kissed her on the forehead. The touch of his lips lingered. She closed her eyes and savored the feeling. He's kissing her forehead. The king is putting his lips on her. She could hardly believe it. Of all the reactions she expected from him, this was never expected. He's putting his mouth on her. Truly, it was worth it. He pulled back finally, and stared her in the eyes. "Good job." He said at last. She glowed over the compliment and bowed her head, "Thank you, master." Her voice came out a little hoarse and scratchy because of way she just pleasured him. When he leaned back on his seat, she pulled away from him. That is when she started taking note of her environment again. "Wow. I must say that you got yourself a very good slave. She did a good job." King Zayden said then, from across the room. King Ryker said nothing even though he hear
Night was almost falling. Scarlett watched Lyra as she drew water from the pit. There was no one there, and Scarlett was feeling really angry just staring at her. How can someone in a plain slave uniform, look like royalty even without trying? It angered Scarlett really well. She has to work ha
"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
The crowd cheered King Marcus on as he announced that he wanted to take Lyra first. Lyra swallowed down the panic and humiliation she's feeling and tried to detach herself from the present. When the king started playing with the strap of her flimsy top, she wanted to scream 'No' but the words
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
