Danika stood in front of the court. The ointment and herbs Baski gave her helped a lot to ease the ache in her body, but dread filled her belly. Her throat so closed up, she can only swallow tightly.
Memories of the second to the last time she was here threatened to overwhelm her.
Sally. Her poor Sally. These Kings had unleased their animalistic lustful demands on her small body, they'd almost killed her Sally, thinking they had Cone's daughter.. By God's bones, she misses Sally so much.
The door opened and a guard matched out. She peered inside, it only increased her dread. Four Kings. Those four Kings she knows very well were there.
How many other Kings were there? What is happening today?
"You have to go inside, My Lady." A male voice said behind her.
She turned back to see the guard. "Do you have any idea what is happening today?"
The guard shook his head. "None, My Lady. But, you do have to be inside there before the King enters."
