"I made a promise a long time ago to myself. That I won't be intimate with someone till I'm married to him. For the sake of the child that I might bring to this world."
The King gaze was set on her.
Brown smoldering eyes.
They made her feel at ease..
Then she looked down at her knuckles that she was rubbing against the inside of her left palm.
"I want the child to have protection and love, and a marriage guarantees that. I don't want the child to end up not being wanted and loved... like me."
That was why nothing had happened between her and Lytio.
She was waiting.
That was a move she had no regret on.
But with the King, it felt different. The dreams she had of the Bride Thief weren't helping too. Why hadn't she thought about her long-standing rule in all those dreams? Why had she not thought about it when she woke up? Was he that powerful that he made logicality so far from her? Was his lure on her that strong?
It made her worried.
