Danika was still in shock when she followed the king. Moved to the fourth bedroom.... Moved to the Royal Quarters....!
Teats burned the back of her eyes when it finally sunk in. Heaves, she has missed that.
The floral scent of a Royal bedroom. The big space. The huge bedroom. She has missed all these and noe, she'll be moved to a Royal bedroom in the royal quarters.
They cut through another hallway and Danika tried her best not to panic because of his summon,she doesn't know what's going through his head.
Punish her? This time around she doesn't know if it's the punishment for the way she put her hands on him in court or it's the punishment for the name Remeta is addressing her as.
When they cut through another hallway, she noticed that his steps got slower, his breathing a little out of the normal like he ran a mile.
His leg! She knows this instantly, her gaze lowing to trail on his right leg from behind.
He seems to be in a great deal of pain and he needs a body to lean on to relief the pressure on that leg. But she also knows that he'll never call for help.
Weaknesses are like a taboo to a royalty. Especially one as powerful as King Lucien.
She lowered her own steps and kept following him.
Then, he took three more steps and almost lost his balance. She rushed forward immediately without giving it much thought and wrapped her arm around his big body in support.
She leaned into him to take some of his weight....and what a big weight it is.
He stiffened from head to toe and pulled away from her. He glared at her, his cold eyes almost angry....even as there are underlying pain in his gaze.
"Don't ever try such a thing again or I will have you whipped. Don't ever put your hand on me like that." He snarled.
"I'm s-so so sorry, master. Please forgive me." She pleased.with her head bowed.
He said nothing and started forward again. Only this time, his steps got more slower and he was almost groaning with each step he took.
They are almost at the Royal Quarters but it's still quite a walk. He stubbled on nothing again.
She pushed forwards impulsively and wrapped her arms around him. She did it before she could think and before her brain activated itself, she had her arms around him and she was taking most of his weight.
"Danika." One word that held a lot of feelings that wasn't looking good for her at all.
Well, if she's going to perish, she might as well go all the way.."Please, let me help, Master."
"I'm not weak." He snapped through gritted teeth.
"No, you're not. But even the strongest of men needs support once in a while, Master. Displaying weakness doesn't make us weak, it makes us humans."
When the only answer she got was a grunt, she knew that he must be in a greater pain. When she took a step forward and he didn't protest, she was relived and took another step forward.
She walked him and he let her. She became his legs and he walked her.
He was leaning heavily on her even as he was keeping most of his weight away from her so he doesn't crush her. They took steady steps until finally, they arrived at the turn of the hallway that leads to his chambers.
He stopped. "Go and tell the guards that I dismiss them." He grated, sweat beading on his forehead.
