"Princess Kamara, you have arrived?" His soft tone belied the hard man he is.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I hope your journey was smooth?" As he asked, he came out of his chair and walked towards her.

"Yes, it did. Thank you, Your Majesty." She outstretched her a glove-covered hand.

He took the hand and kissed the back of her palm. "I'm glad."

With all protocols observed, there was nothing more to say. Silence descended.

Princess Kamara broke under the silence. The tears she has been holding filled her head, she lowered herself to her knees in front of him.

"Princess, this is not necess—"

"Thank you so much, thank you so so much, King Lucien." She cried, "Thank you for answering my desperate letter and coming to my rescue! I was so desperate, I know nothing else to do...!"

His face softened, "It's okay, Princess." He extended his hand, "I did not get your messages beforehand, or I would have responsed earlier."

She took the hand he extended to get to her feet. "Thank you so much."

"How is your lover?" He asked.

"He is doing good, fortunately. After you came calling, my father allowed him to be getting fed, so I stopped sneaking around to get him food. Then, my father fell sick which took his mind completely away from Callan's side, so I was able to get him lots of better clothes and spend some time with him in the dungeon." She confessed with an embarrassed flush.

King Lucien observed her. This isn't the Princess he met during Courting Week. That princess was trying to carry out her responsibilities reluctantly, but this princess here is a woman in love.

"You must love him so much." He stated.

She nodded admittedly. It wouldn't be fair to him that he'll marry her without knowing that her heart belongs to another. "Yes, your Highness. I love him so much."

"I am curious to see this young man that has taken a Princess's heart to the extend that she is ready to go to any length for him."

She smiled, her eyes glowing with love. "He is worth it."

He nodded, turned and walked back to his desk. Settling himself to his seat, he glanced at her, "When is he arriving?"

"On the morrow, Your Highness." Her lips thinned, "My father refused to let him travel together with me because of...well, our relationship."

"Understandable." He picked up his inked-feather, "Once he arrives safely, we'll sort out some things. Then, I'll be on my way to Mombana. I have delayed enough."

"It is all because of me, I apologize, Your Majesty. How is Queen Danika?" She misses her friend so much. It has been so long.
