into.
                  Why is that?
                  I am not entirely sure about the reason…
                  Perhaps it is the fact that you got close to losing your virginity to the very man that your family, as well as all of the people who live in and outside of town, serves and pays homage to in order to gain and win favor with him.
                  Lily thought for a moment that her heart was fixing to suffer a panic attack due to the suggestion that was made to her by her ‘voice of reason’ that dwelt inside of her being. Her blood turned to ice while the area where her womanhood was nestled had started to tighten and grow a little wet. Swallowing a lump down her throat from noticing how she was feeling, Lily caught the soft sound of her conscience chuckling a bit before it spoke up.
                  Hmm…It seems that I was correct on that assumption.
                  Slowly, she registered a faint, warm sensation coming over her cheeks. It didn’t take her long to realize that she was blushing out of embarrassment from what her rational side had stated to her. Lily silently cursed at her conscience, scolding it for what it had done, while she tried to stop blushing to the best of her ability, desperately.
                  “So…Lily…”
                  The sound of Daniel’s deep voice speaking up out of the blue to her caused her to avert her eyes away from her lap and onto his face. She was grateful that the inside of the carriage was dark enough to hide the light blush shades on her cheeks. Pulling in a breath of air, Lily finally found the courage to speak.
                  “Y-yes, Daniel?” She asked, slightly shaky.
                  “Why don’t you tell me about your family?” He spoke to her in a way that was full of charisma and calming to the soul. Gazing upon her with his emerald green eyes in a similar fashion, he continued to speak to her in a gentle, tender manner. “I would like to know more about your life.”
                  “Well…Um…I am the only child to two farmers who grow crops, hunt, fish or sew in order to make a living while I help out by singing in the square from time to time or telling stories to the children there.”
                  “You come from a family of farmers, correct?”
                  “That is correct, Daniel.”
                  “How far out do you live in these woods? It can’t be too far if you were moving on the road a little while ago before the storm hit us both, or you are a fast walker and can make quick work of any path that comes across your way.”
                  “Actually, our cottage home is several miles in the opposite direction of where your carriage is taking us to. You can’t miss the stone and wood well that my father had built by hand on the right side of the house while my mother’s garden that she grew with his help is on the left side.”
                  “Is that so?”
                  “Yes…”
                  “Do you mind if I ask one more question?”
                  “Not at all…Ask me anything that is on your mind.”
                  Looking upon the face of her king, Lily started to notice an expression consisting of anxiousness and curiosity lingering just below the surface of his strong features. Her intuition was telling her that something was troubling him and that the question he needed an answer to could either go in a positive direction or a negative one.
                  “Lily…Who are your parents?”
                  For a moment, she found herself caught off guard by what he had to ask her. Lily couldn’t see or understand why this was troubling him like it seemed to be since her parents were not the type of people to anger anyone. She drew
