"Do you think I will just get my details from another's mouth without any proof? Don't you think I'm not capable of getting credible information?" The King asked, and his voice was back to being cold again.

"I'm not challenging your resources, Father, but I know my husband. I know what we went through and why we ended up here."

"You are blinded by what you feel about him."

I swallowed hard, but I kept my gaze on him. I was torn between challenging him more and allowing him to speak his mind.

"How about Danielle?" I asked.

"She is no longer your handmaid."

"Father, please..."

"Do not make me bend my words."

I walked up to him, and even though I was not used to doing this, I threw my arms around him and hugged him. The King was tall, so my face was exactly the same level as his torso. When he didn't push me away, I rested my cheek against his chest. I could feel his heartbeat picking up its pace.

"Father, I grew up with nothing. Before Kael found me, I didn't even get to choose my own clothes. I would take what they could give me. Kael gave me the freedom to choose and decide for myself. Please don't take away my freedom again."
