I woke up with throbbing pain all over my body. When I opened my eyes, it was the familiar ceiling of my room back at Titus‘ place that greeted me. I blew a loud sigh of defeat when I realized that I failed to plan to look for my kids.

“It’s fine,” I replied. “Are you okay?” I asked.

She gave me a weak smile before she nodded. “Yes, my lady.”

“It’s nothing, my lady. I’m totally fine,” she insisted.

“Fine? You call this fine? Who did this to you? Tell me!”

She lowered her eyes when tears threatened to roll down her face. “I–It’s His Majesty, my lady,” she finally answered.
