The king is not a man of gentle affection. He is a monster. I've heard it from the girls and I've seen the way he treats them. But why did he kiss me?
I did not know what was waiting for me back in the chambers. Or how I could make it up to the girls for what they had gone through.
What if they are unwilling to hear me out?
All my life, I had carried my own burdens. I have grown used to facing the consequences of my mistakes. I don't need anyone to take the fall for me.
My mother had taught me the importance of apologies and forgiveness. The beauty of being kind to one another and understanding the flaws of any person.
Flash back.
It's only been a week since mom married Fred and everything is changing. He had the interior of the house changed, and he did not even contribute a dime to it.
