Ever so slowly, he opened his eyes. "What did you just say?"

A great feeling of excitement swarm through Baski at his response. "She's doing so much better, My King! She ate and she bathe and she even let me put a healing balm on her! Oh, Your Majesty, I'm so happy today. I never thought this day will ever come!"

He has leaned up as she talked, interested. When she finished, his surprise was apparent. "That is a miracle, Baski. What happened?"

"It's Danika, Your Majesty."

He cocked his head to the side in thought. "Danika?"

Baski nodded her head, tears of excitement filling her eyes. "She visited with Sally today..." She proceeded to tell him everything. How Danika was able to get through to Remeta.

She purposefully left out the part about what Remeta is addressing Danika as because she knows it wouldn't end well. She told him every other thing...including the part that Remeta insists on being with Danika and that's why she's in the palace.

Silence followed her narration because the king was trying to process everything. His face was his usual unreadable mask so she doesn't know what's going through that head of his.

"Remeta sees her as the Royalty she was and she feels so safe with her?" He asked at last, perplexed.

She nodded her head, "Oh my king, you needed to see her in the morning. She was willing to do anything because she's feeling safe again. She said, she has a friend who's Royalty....that she's safe." Her voice cracked in the end, emotions overwhelming her.

Her words was met with silence because the king is trying to assimilate everything she said.

Finally, he spoke again. "I would have loved to see her now. She's fifteen and for the first time she's willing to get better..." he paused, "...and it's because of Danika?"

She nodded her head vigorously. "Yes, my king."

Silence. Baski can practically see the wheels of disbelief turning in his head. He wouldn't feel anything she hasn't felt. The different is that she watched it happen. And it's still happening.

He got up then. "I have to see this, Baski. Take me to Remeta."

"But...!" She wanted to remind him of his leg but she clamped her mouth shut.

He wouldn't appreciate her talking to him about it. The king hates being reminded of any smallest form of weakness people might think he has.

She bowed her head, "As you wish, my king."

Danika woke to a girl's face hovering in front of her face. She blinked twice to clear the haze in her eyes and opened her eyes again. It was Remeta's face and she's no linger smiling.
