The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 73
The Alpha King's Hated Slave
Finally, he raised his head and stared at her, âI donât hear a question there, Vetta.â
âIt just baffles me, Your Majesty. Why you should let your slave move into the Royal Quartersâ¦into Princess Meliaâs bedroomâ¦and the slave also happens to be King Coneâs daughter.â
âI didnât move King Coneâs daughter to that bedroom. I moved Remeta.â He reached out for a new scroll and unfolded slowly. He laid it down on the table and scrutinized it thoughtfully.
âRemeta?â What has that got to do with Baskiâs crazy daughter? She asked herself inwardly.
He spared her a glance. âHave you seen little Remeta, lately?â
âNo, Your highness. The last time I saw her, six months ago, she screamed her head off at the first sight of me.â She answered flippantly.
He discarded the scroll and stretched out his hand to the bag before him, he took out another new one.
âYou have to see her today, Vetta. Sheâs willing to get better and itâs because of Danika. She wants to stay with Danika. Iâm letting her. â
âWhy Danika? Whatâs so special about her?â She asked in complete anger and bewilderment.
Silence. Thick silence. Her question hung on the air.
He got up and walked into his library. Vetta waited impatiently.
Finally, he came out with a file and walked back to his chair. He lowered himself on it. When the silence dragged, Vetta gave up that he would answer.
âRemeta thinks her Royalty. She calls her Royalty and because of that, she feels safe with Danika.â He g*****d at last.
Vetta wasnât understanding any of these at all. And when did she go from being called âhis slaveâ to âDanikaâ!?
She lost it. âBut, sheâs a slave. Sheâs filthy! Sheâs has become a slave, that is what she is. Sheâs not royalty anymore, she lost that status when she became a slave!â
The king stiffened. He raised his head and gave her his full attention for a full minute. âI was a slave for ten years. Does it mean I stopped being Royalty in your eyes, Vetta?â
Her eyes widened and she gasped in horror. Shit, why didnât she just control her anger!?
She knelt down immediately and bowed her head. âIâm s-so sorry, Your Majesty. That wasnât what I meant to implyâ¦.â
He lowered his head again to his scroll.
âI am busy. Youâre dismissed.â He stated as he scribbled down on the new scroll.
Vetta felt so ashamed. Why didnât she just control her mouth for heavenâs sake!?
But then, she fumed silently. He isnât giving her attention at all! Whatâs so important that he canât leave it to attent to her? His mistress?
âYes, My King.â She bowed her head, doing her best to curb her fury. She walked out.
Outside the door, she stood there fuming badly. Anger was all she could breath.
Danika is Royalty, Danika is Royalty, Danika is Royalty! Why does these words have to be the only words sheâs hearing since today!?
She fisted her hands angrily. No, she canât take this anymore. She wouldnât.
And she knows what to do.

âChad.â King Lucien called after Vetta left.
The door opened and Chad entered. He bowed his head. âYou summoned me, My King.â
He raised the finished scroll and folded it neatly. He reached for another scroll and unwrapped it.
Chad waited patiently for him.
âGo and tell Danika, I summon her.â He g*****d at last.

Danika entered the chamber of the king with her heart in her throat. Itâs been that way since Chad summoned her.
He was sitting behind his desk, his brows knitted, his jaw set in the usual hard angle as he scribbled down on the scroll.
She bowed her head. âYou summoned me, Master.â
âGet over here.â He didnât spare her a glance.
She strode across the big bedroom towards him, she stopped a feet away from him. Why her heart was beating a drum in her chest, she canât understand.
âSit down.â
She lowered herself to the floor next to him.
Finally, he raised his head and stared at her. Only for a moment. He reached into the bag of scrolls and withdrew a brand new unwritten scroll. He handed it to her.
Her worry dissolved and peace settled in her heart. Already, she was anticipating the serenity and the peace of working with him.
He handed her a manuscript, writing feather and a small bottle of ink. She took it graciously and arranged them on the floor.
âI overslept.â He glared at her accusingly. âNow, I have a lot of work to do.â
Danika doesnât know what to say to that, so she kept her mouth shut. He faced his desk after that, and continued scribbling.
She started reading, translating and writing. They worked in silence. She concentrated on the manuscript and translated every single sentence with care.
Suddenly, the door opened. âMy King, Iââ Vettaâs voice cut off as soon as it started as she watched the king and Danika work together.
âGet out.â He didnât raise his voice. He didnât spare her a glance.
âY-Yes, My King.â She fumed silently. Sheâd wanted to come and remind him about the hunting tomorrow⦠Only to see this!
So, he writes with her? She doesnât even know something like this happens. Why does that bitch have to know how to read and write!?
Danika never looked up at her, she was too concentrated on her work to do that. And it only made the mistress more angry.
No acknowledgement from the slave whatsoever! And the king isnât doing anything about it!
She turned and matched out angrily.
It only solidified her resolve to go through with the plans she has for Danika. Thereâs no way sheâs letting her conscience get in the way at all!
If anybody deserves to experience what pain and horror feels like, itâs the proud daughter of King Cone!
