When I gave birth it became more difficult for me to meet with the king alone, he always visit with Cinderella on his side.
I fear it will come soon, the day he will legally set me aside. I looked at the full moon and wondered if like in the original story I will be beheaded right after.
I placed my hand on my chest and tried to stop a sob from getting out. It hurts so badly. I think for a long time now, I have been silently in love with my captor king.

"It is late to be alone at this time of night," I heard him murmur against my ear.
Finally, the one I love. I melted in his arms, this time, with no pretenses. I'll have to look out for my son, and this chance is something I won't miss.
"Dai," I whispered his name in the air as I felt his strong arms pull me close to him.
"Aye, I am he. I am he, your Daisuke Kane," he said so tenderly, and yet how can I think it is not deception. There is no way it can be real.
