Chapter 162
Danika and the king walked back into his chambers. The silence was uncomfortable.
Danika picked the hem of her dress nervously, while waiting for the king to dismiss her. He hasn't said a word since the dungeon and it had her worried.
Is he angry that she released the women? But, he'd given her rights to their judgement. She shifted uncomfortably from one foot to another.
"Danika." He has his back to her when he called her name.
That tone... The very tone of his voice had shivers going down her spine. It's the same voices he uses whenever they're in bed together.
The same tone he calls her name with, when he's taking his pleasure from her body.
"Y-Yes, Your Highness." She fidgeted with her dress, her voice wasn't past a whisper too.
"What am I going to do with you...?"
The question, so unexpected, rubbed her of speech. So, she snapped her mouth shut and prayed to the heavens for him not to be so angry at her.
