Chapter 118. THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.

  Danika felt someone watching her. That was how she woke.

  She stirred and her eyes opened to see the king standing a few feet away from her. He was leaning against the wall and his eyes were on her.

  At the first glance, he looked deep in thought. He looked so troubled, she wondered what could be the matter?

  What is the message that the messenger came with?

  Seconds later, the troubled expression cleared from his face when he saw her wake, to be replaced by his usual blank face.

  "My King..." She whispered. Then, she bit her lips.

  Is it time for her to call him Master, yet?

  She peeked a glance at him but thankfully, he didn't call her out on it or reprimand her.

  "Were you able to write two scrolls?" He asked, still leaning against the wall.

  "I wrote four." She whispered.

  "You did well."

  She basked under the praise. Then, the silence descended, and she found her nervousness enfolding her.
