"Dmitri don't be delusional and don't speak so loud… someone might hear us. Come with me" Queen Kira said. She couldn't take Dmitri to her chambers when it was next to Igor's own, so she took him to their usual meeting place. Dmitri was her former body guard. He had been dismissed by King Igor when rumor of him bedding Queen Kira had been flying. Which was actually true but had not been confirmed.
"How did you get in..." Queen Kira started
"I was dismissed not banished," Dmitri responded, "Kira, I want to see my daughter!"
"You can't! Don't you understand, it'll thrown off our cover and our secret would be released" Queen Kira warned.
"The deed hasn't been done yet. I'll come back next week then," Dmitri got up to leave.
"What do you mean by the deed hasn't been done yet," Queen Kira whispered and held Dmitri hand, stopping him from moving further.
