The Pregnant Fox And The Dragon King
"The King placed you under my watch.
That means if you step out of line, if you slip up, or if you run your mouth, it falls on my neck. I won't suffer for a pathetic stray."
I forced myself onto my knees, my body shaking violently from the lingering fever and cold. "I didn't ask to be brought here."
"And I didn't ask to host a broken royal," he snapped, leaning down and grabbing my chin in a tight, unyielding grip. His touch was rough, forcing my head up so I had no choice but to look into his dark, ruthless eyes. "Listen to me clearly. You are not a prince here. You are a servant. You will scrub these floors, clean my armor, and stay out of sight."
