THIRD TO FINAL CHAPTER; Part 2.

Name: The Declaration Of Love.

He barely resisted the urge to lift her off her feet, instead, he had to remind himself that they are not alone. They are in court.

His hands linger for a few more seconds before he pulled back from her completely.

Finally, when King Lucien can no longer ignore the shocked gasps, whispers of bewilderment, and hushed murmurings, he turned and faced the Mombana Court.

Everywhere went silent immediately. No sound was heard. No even a harsh breath.

"I know you all wonder why I am here today. Not only in Mombana, but in the Royal Court." He stated firmly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Ministers responded uniformly, bowing their heads.

"I am here to ask for Queen Danika's hand in marriage."

The announcement produced the expected reaction. Gasps of shock echoes everywhere. Everyone began talking at once.

"....But that isn't possible!?"

"How is it possible...!?"

"A king cannot marry a Queen!"

"....what will happen to their Kingdoms!?"

"But the King hates our Queen and our Kingdom...!"

King Lucien raised his hand in a silent command.

Everyone stopped talking. Silence descended.

"I know you all have lots of questions. I do believe that they are also necessary questions you think will explain what is happening here on this day. I do not have a lot of words to satisfy you all, but I do know a few things." He paused.

They all looked at him expectantly.

He continued, "I hated Queen Danika for a long time. After what Salem went through, I hated her with a passion that was indescribable. At first, the thoughts of her filled me with rage. Her name makes me boil in anger and revenge. The sight of her raises—and not in a good way—those monsters her father created in me."

"Then, a lot changed. I am not a man of so many words, so I do not have any idea how to explain how a lot changed. But then, the thoughts of her fills me with possession. Her makes bring me the best kind of peace." He stared at her, softer light in his eyes. "And, the very sight of her gladdens my heart and sets my monsters to sleep."

Queen Danika was too dumbfounded to say a word, but the tears that overflowed from her eyes were loud. Loud and filled with love.

He turned back to the shocked ministers, "I love your Queen. She is my woman. My possession. I love her and my child she is carrying inside her. So, I am here today to ask for her hand in marriage."

Letting the Minister stew over that, he turned back to Danika. Using his finger, he collected a tear running down her eyes.

Then, he lowered himself to his knees in front of her, completely ignoring the shocked gasps of people around them. For the second time since he got out of Slavery, he knelt down for another human being. For the same woman.

"Will you accept my marriage proposal, Queen Danika?" He groaned, staring her in the eyes.

"Yes," there was no hesitation, she nodded her head vigorously, "Yes, yes. Yes, I accept your marriage p-proposal...! Yes, I want to be your wife...! Your Queen...! I want to be y-yours....! Now, forever...!"

That was all he needed, he rose then and lowered his lips to hers. They kissed passionately. Beautifully.

"Well, at least now we understand why our Queen avoided her marital discussions like the very devil." The Minister of Taxation's grumpy voice carried towards the royal couples.
