Danika turned to her, seeing the helpless look on her eyes.

"I don't want to stay away from you. I don't want to. They will force me too...." She continued.

Danika placed a hand on her shoulder, "All slaves, maids and servants are under Madam Baski and she already knows that you're here. If the king finds out..." she bit her lips, "....we'll cross that bridge later."

Sally nodded her head. "Alright, my princess." hef lips stretched in a smile, "We live in the moment. No point thinking about tomorrow, right!?"

Danika nodded with a smile. "Exactly. How was your day at the market?"

Sally flushed a little and ducked her head.

Danika's brows rose in question. "Sally?"

"Sire Chad saw me on the way and he escorted me. He walked me to the market, and even as I picked out my cottons, he just stood there patiently and waited for me." She told her princess shyly, her face glowing.

Danika's eyes widened. She tried to reconcile the image of the stoic, cool personal guard of the king that doesn't care about looking at people's faces, spending sometime with Sally and walking her to the market.

It's a little too hard to believe, but she wasn't surprised. She'd seen the way the two of them stand together and talk.

Danika watched the glowing face of Sally and decided that her best friend does like Chad a lot. She just wishes Sally to be happy...anything at all that will make Sally happy will make her happy.

"Oh, I heard that the wicked mistress went into the King's Chambers. Did she see you there?" Sally suddenly asked, her eyes wide.

The question reminded Danika of her burning scalp. Impulsively, her hand went up to her hair. It also reminded her of the things she'd said to the mistress and her cheeks turned red.

She can't believe that she'd been able to speak to her in that way.

"Oh, Sally..." She exhaled in defeat. The mistress will just tell the king about it and she'll be punished for it.

"What happened?" Sally asked worriedly.

"The mistress almost scalped me, so I yanked her hand away from my hair and also said some things to her. Not mean things," she added, "...just things a slave should never say to a mistress."

Sally thought about that, her brow knitted in worry. She doesn't want anything to happen to her Princess at all, but then again, that Wicked Witch of the West is just too....wicked.

"Don't worry about it, Sally. We'll cross that bridge later." She went right ahead to reassuring Sally when she saw the worry.

Sally nodded. She even smiled. "Don't mind that mistress. I don't know why she hates you so so much, she almost whipped you to death. Even the king never did that!"

"I wonder too."
