Flowers and Chains

With skin white and smooth like wax, and golden hair as fine as spun thread.

The king, Joshua, known as the Rose of the Royal Capital.

To such a king, Darcy was nothing more than a passing amusement.

After all, no flower stays red for ten days.

Even if he only ever met with Darcy, even if he only ever fathered a child with her,

Even if he wished to leave behind a painting of Darcy and the child..

“I thought being a who*e was the easiest job in the world.”

“I love Your Majesty more than anything.”

But when an unexpected event causes Darcy to regain her memories…

A cruel truth begins to unfold.
