Chapter Five: To Be A Queen

Danielle lounged in bed for the first few hours of her solitude, before boredom finally drove her from bed. Where on Earth could Kael have gone? For the past seven days, he’d never left her side; and all of a sudden, he’d disappeared. Gathering one of the sheets to herself to cover her nakedness, the young woman ventured to the bathroom, which was as empty as the bedchamber. She took the opportunity to poke her head in the other rooms of the prince’s suite, as he’d hardly given her the opportunity to do so since she’d arrived.

There was a large space that seemed almost like a study, complete with an immense desk and a wall honeycombed with spaces where hundreds of scrolls had been placed. Next door, there was a small chamber that seemed to contain innumerable weapons – none of which looked as if they were for show. For at least five minutes, she gaped at the profusion of swords, knives and spears that were neatly stacked into the small space. What could the man possibly need so many weapons for? He couldn’t possibly know how to use them all.

Two more doors proved to be locked, and the last contained a few assorted suits of armor designed to go over the skintight body suit that so devastatingly adhered to the prince’s tall figure. When she returned to the main bedchamber, she was almost immediately knocked several steps backward by a pair of small arms around her shins. She looked down to see Hadric looking up at her adoringly, and he babbled a greeting in his mother tongue that she caught about half of – reminding her how pressing it was that she learned the Garinian language.

Automatically, she reached down to lift the boy into her arms, careful of his horns as she pecked him on the forehead. Despite how shy he’d been upon their first meeting, he’d quickly warmed up to her – going so far as to seek her out when he couldn’t find his mother. Though she’d only been on the planet for a few weeks, it wasn’t uncommon for her to turn a corner to see Hadric running towards her at light speed. Usually, his mother wasn’t far behind, and this time was no different.

Kaia stood at the foot of the mussed bed, waiting for her to reappear. The princess was dressed in a gorgeous black gown with gold trim and an ornate gold filigree inlay at her bodice. Danielle blushed at being caught in such a state of undress. As friendly and supportive as Kaia was, she always managed to make Danielle feel small with the presence she emanated. When she voiced such concerns, the princess always reminded her that they had the difference of a lifetime of breeding between them – which only soothed Danielle slightly.

The elder woman had a knowing smile on her face as she took in her new sister-in-law. “I trust you had a good isolation?”

What? Her expression must have conveyed her confusion, as Kaia laughed softly at the face she made.
