Danika has heard less from the king in the past one week.
He'd summoned her three times only, and those times, he makes her seat down on the floor beside him and he gives her a brand-new scroll and a well-written parchment.
He orders her to rewrite everything in the parchment to the scroll as a way of duplicate.
At the very deep heart of her, Danika nursed the fluttering feeling and peace in her heart whenever she has to stay beside him in silence and write.
It has always been her past time activity, even when she was still a princess. And now, she has falling into the routine with the king.
No words. No noise. No slavery. No works. Just the both of them sitting and writing.
It also gives her a deep sense of satisfaction, because it's the one thing his mistress can never do with him. Because it's the one thing he can do with her alone.
He'd summoned her one day and announced that they were going to the Kingdom of Ijipt because of a court meeting between the kings.
They'd been driven in the Royal Carriage and that surprised Danika so much...still surprised her whenever she remembers it. The king had let her ride the carriage with him.
Slaves do not ride the Royal Carriage, it's the most impossible of happenings.
Slaves walk with legs while their master rode the carriage and the guards rode the horses, or a good master might allow the slave to ride in a horse.
Not the carriage...unless he wants to take pleasures from her body in there. Never the carriage.
But the king had let her stay in the carriage, and even though she sat on that space in the floor of the carriage, it doesn't matter at all. Beats walking, and riding in a horse hundred times.
Also, thankfully, the meeting in Ijipt went really well. The kings had taken one look at her and their lips thinned in displeasure.
"You survived." King Moreh had snarled.
Fear had Danika inching behind the King's back, even before she knew she took that step.
King Moreh and King Philip's look of disapproval was blatant in their face, but other kings just stared at her thoughtfully.
The two King's angers comes with the knowledge they all have about the law that has been there since the very beginning of time.
*Any slave that escapes death in a certain tradition, would never again be subjected to it as a demand or an order. Unless, as a punishment from her master.*
