"You have to be in court, Your Highness, everyone is waiting for you." Baski announced as she entered Queen Danika's bedroom.
The thirty-three weeks pregnant Queen was standing in front of the mirror in her expensive, extravagant royal gown made by the finest lace and silk, rich in velvet. The red and gold-colored luxurious tunic gown also contained embroidered lace and gems. Her long blond hair wavy and styled, it pulled down behind her back.
The Queen looks so devastatingly beautiful—even in her condition—but she isn't happy.
She misses King Lucien with an intensity that is so terrifying, it remains indescribable.
As days goes by, she misses him so badly that she has to cry herself to sleep in her cold empty bed most of the nights, unless Sally comes with her story-parchments. She regrets running away from him that night they had a misunderstanding.
