Sally tried to sit up and Danika saw the move, she helped Sally to sit up on the bed, the both of them wincing at the same time.

Sally heard her wince and she lifted concerned eyes towards Danika, "Are you...alright, my p-princess?"

The question so softly asked...so brokenly asked...caused tears to fill Danika's hurting eyes immediately. She pushed closer and wrapped her arms around Sally's body, burying her face on her neck.

"Oh, Sally.... How can you ask about me when you're the person that's hurt!? Why did you do it!? Why!? Why did you have to do that to me Sally...?" She cried.

Sally doesn't like seeing her cry. She has never liked it. Hearing her princess's cries, feeling the way her body was shaking against hers, was hurting her badly.

"My princess.... Please, don't cry." She whispered, raising her bandaged hand, she patted her back in reassurance. "Please, don't cry.... I don't like that you cry..."

Those words only made Danika cry harder, even as she tried to control herself, she couldn't help it. Her body shook with the force of the pain and relief coursing through her.

Sally's here. Sally's alive. Sally will be fine.

Every other thing doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how yesterday's event affected Sally. It doesn't matter that her Sally might probably never recover from it.

What matters is that she's here. She's alive. She survived.

As Danika cried, she admitted to herself that she must be a selfish person for being relieved that Sally's alive...even though it's obvious she's in deep pains. At that moment, it doesn't matter.

She vowed then, that she'll protect Sally as best as she can. She also vowed that she'll do everything within her power to help Sally heal. Everything.

"I'll leave you two to talk. I'll be back very soon, Sally needs her wounds cleaned and redressed." Baski's voice came.

Danika pulled back and stared at her. "Thank you so much, Madam Baski. Thank you so much for everything."

"You're welcome. I'll be back." She turned to leave....

Then she stopped and turned back. "He was his cousin." She said suddenly.

"Huh?" Danika stared at her with teary eyes, clearly lost.

Baski's lashes fluttered, her eyes lowering. When she raised it again, the sadness in her eyes was stark and blatant.

"You asked who Declan is." She said finally, "Declan is the King's young cousin brother."

"You....must...have been so worried. I'm so....sorry, My Princess." Sally whispered as she gazed at her princess when Baski left the room.

Danika only pulled her close, wrapping her arms around her again, tears blurring her eyes.

"Please, don't ever do something like this to me again, Sally. You don't know how h-heartbreaking it is. Oh Sally, I'm so so sorry. I'm s-so sorry for what they did to you....!"

Sally pulled back. Staring into her face, she palmed her cheeks with shaky bandaged hands. "What those k-kings did...to me hurt so much, my princess. I almost died...from the pain..."
