Filed to story: The Alpha Kings Hated Slave
Danika blinked back the burning tears at the back of her eyes. It gave her immense relief. She would never figure out King Lucien. Why would he be so good to the people of Mombana after everything her father put him through? Her father enslavedall his people when he took power.
She thought about it as she hit the ground with a hammer repeatedly. After that story, Sally told her a fairytale as they worked.
The slave trainer, Karandy, was so angry at her. He entered the tunnel from time to time to glare daggers at her. She pretended not to see the look.
“
Yeeeeei!
Look what I found!” Sally suddenly shouted as she dipped her hand into the rocks and withdrew the stone-like silver object.
Karandy rushed in, his eyes widened at the sight before him. “It’s a gemstone,” he noted reverently, his anger forgotten as he happily took the stone from her.
Sally grinned wildly and proudly as the others entered the tunnel to check out what she found. “So, that means we’re getting tomorrow off, right?” Sally enthused excitedly and began reciting, “I know the rules, too. You find a valuable mineral, and you don’t work mines the next day. Instead, you rest because you’ve done a job well done.”
Karandy nodded all too eagerly. “Yes, you don’t work tomorrow.” That would give him time with the princess.
Sally frowned a bit. “Not just me; it’s the princess and me.” She raised her chin. “We found it together!”
Karandy wasn’t there when it happened, so he had no way of disputing it. It pissed him off because, as a slave trainer, he knew the rules better than anybody.
“Alright. Both of you,” he grumbled.
“
Yeeiii!” Sally danced and dropped all her work tools. Danika, too, was happy, dropped hers as well.
“We’re off for the day then.” Sally started out of the tunnel, and Danika followed her.
Karandy snatched Danika’s hair and yanked her back toward him when she walked past him.
“What about what I asked you to think about?” he snarled into her ear with a whisper.
Danika didn’t say anything, silently willing him to let go of her hair because it hurt badly.
“I’m watching you, Princess. Soon, you’ll not be able to run anymore,” he growled, pinching her butt from behind before he let her go.
Danika started out together with Sally. Sally asked her what was happening, and Danika just shrugged. How could she tell her Sally that the slave trainer was desperately demanding her body?
She was just happy to be away from there for a little while.
When they got back to the palace, there were heaps of clothes to wash as usual. The only difference was that Sally was there to help her.
They carried the clothes to the backyard. Sally washed while singing and dancing and talking, while Danika rinsed them and spread them on the rope.
It was evening before they were done with everything. Danika was so tired, she just wanted to rest her head and sleep.
But Baski appeared on their way to her room. “The king summons you, Danika. Donot keep him waiting.”
Danika’s heart skipped a beat. She dreaded that the most. She hadn’t seen the king in five days, since that night…
She forced her mind back to the present, said goodbye to Sally, and walked on her own to his chambers.
She knocked and entered the room but couldn’t find the king. Chad stepped in to tell her that the king was still in a meeting but would be out shortly.
Danika nodded, and after Chad closed the door, she looked around the room openly for the first time. The room looked just like him. Sophisticated.
Danika spotted an adjoining door and walked through it. It was a library! Danika gasped, amazed at the number of books there were. As a person who liked books, too, they drew her. She walked past shelf after shelf, looking through the back of the books and the insides.
She held a book in her hand, engrossed in reading it. There were red smears on the back of the book, and she wondered if that was the way the book cover was.
Danika must have lost track of time because, suddenly, she knew the when she wasn’t alone. She turned and saw the king standing at the door of the library, his face expressionless, his eyes cold and angry.
“How dare you come in here,” he growled in a low voice.
Fear gripped Danika, but she didn’t let it show. She bowed her head. “Please, f-forgive me, Your Majesty. I lost track of
…everything,” she whispered.
He stared at her; disdain written all over his features. “Drop that book,” he snarled.
She dropped the book as if it burned her hand.
“Kneel.”
Her knees sank to the floor. She held her hands together and twisted them.
“Come here.” He looked so angry; he scared her.
She walked on her knees towards him. Her knees aching, she stared up at him. He leaned down and his hand went to her neck. He wrapped his big hand around her collared neck and squeezed, choking her. Danika’s eyes widened as her breathing hitched, and she found it hard to draw in breaths. His hand tightened; his eyes blackened in dull rage.
“You don’t ever come in here again, Danika. Ever. Because I’ll kill you then.”
Tears filled Danika’s eyes. He wasn’t using all his strength, but hewas choking her. She tightened her hands in her skirt to keep from holding his hand.
He let her go. His eyes were bloodshot.
“But, then again, your father never gave Melia a choice when he spilled her blood…” His low voice was like granite. “right here. With that book you were holding in your hand.”
