It's the early hours of morning when Danika suddenly screamed.

King Lucien was in the library when he heard the loud-piercing scream.

It came again. Followed by the ruffle of bedsheets.

He walked in steady strides out of the inner room to see Danika screaming and thrashing on the bed. Her eyes was squeezed tightly shut, sweat poured from her body and her breathing was erratic.

"No....! Noooo, Baski please....! I have to save Sally! No...please! I can't leave her to t-them...!" She cried out.

King Lucien watched with a furrow of his brows. She's having a nightmare. Her mind is trapped in the events of her introduction day at the courtroom.

"No...you d-don't understand, they will kill her....! They hate me so much, t-they will kill Sally, because they...think...she is...me...!" She sobbed in her sleep.

As she lived that horrible moment all over again in her sleep, a crack from the ice-wall King Lucien built around his cold heart fell away.

King Lucien watched the way she cried her heart out, thrashing around. Pained screams emitted from her throat.

And he asked himself....

How could he have possibly ever thought that she might be a devil pretending to be an angel?

Chad closed his eyes against the wave of shame and pain. This is the reason he's been doing his best not to think about the girl since he found himself getting attracted to her.

He did his best to ignore that attraction, to make sure it doesn't grow and after he saw her when those kings brutalized her, he was more adamant to kill that attraction more than ever. All because of this.

His heart squeezed in his chest. "How is she?"

"She is scared out of her mind." Baski said pitifully.

He closed his eyes against the wave of pain.

She walked closer and placed her hand on his arm. "You don't have to feel so bad about this... All you have to do is to explain to her in the light of the day----"

"There is no explaining something like this, Baski. There is no explaining that I took advantage of her and manhandled her the same way those kings did."

"No. Don't even try to compare this with their brutality! You weren't aware! And you didn't force your body inside her! Don't be too hard on yourself!" She chided him.

He only inclined his head in respect to her, and walked out of the bathroom with his body dripping wet.
