The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 56

Danika walked until she entered the servant’s quarters. She was surprised to see Sally and Chad standing in front of her door.

Sally’s eyes was bright but her cheeks was flushed. The King’s personal guard stood in front of her in that usual calm way of his and he asked her things which Sally answered.

Danika couldn’t make out what they were saying because she was far away. As she got closer, Sally sighted her and quickly said goodbye to Chad.

“My princess, my princess.” She said as she walked towards her, her eyes swept over Danika’s body.

“Sally, how are you doing this morning?”

“Oh, my princess, you can’t imagine how scared I was when I woke up and couldn’t find you on the bed. It was Sire Chad that told me that the king summoned you. I was so scared that the king has killed you.”

The king killed her but it wasn’t the way Sally was thinking. Danika kept the thought to herself.

Together, they walked into the room which looked beautiful and even luxurious because Sally decorated it.

“Chad? Where did you find him?” Danika asked curiously, remembering the answer she gave her.

A blush crept over her cheeks. “He woke me up earlier this morning, Mr Princess. I was screaming, he said.”

“You were having a nightmare.” Danika’s heart squeezed in her chest, burning with guilt.

Sally saw the look at crossed her face and waved her off. “It’s nothing really. I’ll be fine, my princess. Sire Chad was there with me until I fell asleep…. I didn’t know when he left.” She revealed shyly.

“I’m glad you weren’t on your own.” She palmed her head, a headache forming.

“Are you alright, My Princess?”

“The mistress almost scalped me earlier.” She mumbled, going to the bed to sit down on it.

“That wicked witch of the west.” Sally whispered, concerned. “Did you do anything wrong, my princess?”

“I think it’s because the king summoned me. I…” Danika took a deep breath, “…I spend the night with him.”

Sally blinked twice. “In his bed? Is that even possible? I heard rumors that the king really hates skin contact with his.”

“Yes, he does. I… I can’t explain it. The mistress is so angry about it.”

“Let her choke on her anger.” Sally’s eyes flashed. “She’s not a good woman, my princess. She’s bitter.”

Then, Sally got up from the bed. “I’ll run a bath for you. I wish we still have those portions that works as pain destroyers, but we don’t and Madam Baski didn’t come in today because of her daughter….”

“You’re still recovering, Sally. Come and sit down, let me do—“

Sally shook her head, “No, my princess. The medicine man and Madam baski said it’s okay for me to exercise my body. I’ll be fine.”

Danika was going to say something else but Sally already disappeared into the small bathroom.

Alone, Danika’s mind went back to the night she spent with the king. His scent still clung to her body that she takes every breath and it’s him on her mind.

She never wanted last night to end, she admitted deep down in the privacy of her mind. Will there ever be more night like that? Will there be more nights where he’ll take her on the bed and let her sleep close to him?

A tightness to her chest reminded her that he told her clearly that it’s just for tonight, last night.

“My Princess!?” Sally shouted from the bathroom.

“Yes, Sally?”

“I’m planning to go to Madam Baski’s place for today’s treatment since she won’t come to the palace until late evening!”

“I think that’s a good idea. I’ll take you to her place, I…” she paused, “I’ve always wanted to see her daughter, Remeta.”

“Oh, the ghosted one?”

“What’s that?” Danika asked, confused.

Sally came out of the bathroom,wiping her wet hands on her clothes. She looked sad, “That’s what the townpeople call her. The ghosted one. They say she behaves like a ghost and a mad girl because of what she went through.”

Danika’s heart reached out for Remeta and for Baski. The way people look at her so pitifully, pointing at her whenever she walks….and then, having to know that people say all this about her daughter behind her back must be heartbreaking.

“That’s one of the reasons I strive everyday, My Princess.” Sally’s suddenly dull voice penetrated Danika’s mind.

“Why?” She asked softly.

“I don’t want to end up like Remeta. The things those kings did to me…” Sally trailed off and her eyes watered.

Danika got up and walked to her, ignoring the sharp pains that shot through her body at the movement.

She palmed Sally’s cheeks, “You’re the strongest woman I’ve ever seen, Sally. Thank you for being strong for me… Thank you for being strong for yourself….”

Sally beamed at her through the tears and sniffled. “Thank you so much for being good to me, my princess.”

“We’ll go together to Baski’s place. That way she’ll give us both portions we need.” Danika concluded.

“Alright, my princess.” She went back to the bathroom.

Danika followed her. As she walked she mapped out in her head, how the day will be. There are so many questions in her head too.

Going to Baski’s place. And then, the court. And then, the hunting ground.

Although, there will be no more introductions, the thought of going to court always scares her shitless. Nothing good ever comes out of a slave going to court.

And, why would the king want to take her to the hunting game of the Kings?

Her head burned again and she palmed it,trying to soothe it. Why would the mistress want to scalp her bald for following the king’s orders?
