The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 119

Sally do not like the feeling in her gut at all. It wasn’t a good feeling. It wasn’t sitting well with her.

As she sat uncomfortably in the bedroom of the mistress and waited for her to come back from wherever she went to. The maid had told her that the mistress will be with her shortly.

Shortly is turning out to be such a long time. Sally sighed and forced herself to keep waiting.

But, she was restless. So so restless.

She got up from the chair and walked towards the window that overlooks the front lane in search of the mistress. The coast was clear, there’s no sight of her.

Her shoulders drew in and she waited.

She let her princess alone in the market. The people hated her, but they wouldn’t attack her unnecessarily, that much she knows.

The Princess has been sick for a few weeks now, her mind whispered to her in remembrance. What if she faints in the market and there’s no one to help her?

Sally swallowed and tried to dismiss the unfounded fears.

What if she faints and someone who hated her father takes her away and hurt her badly?

Sally tried not to think of those, but no matter what, she can’t just sit still. Her princess is alone unprotected in a market filled with people who hates her…

She turned towards the door. And stopped.

The Wicked Witch of the West will punish her severely if she comes back and doesn’t find her. Can she risk her wrath?

Sally didn’t even wait for her mind to answer that. To discourage her. Her princess above any other person.

She ran out of the room and looked around the hallway. It was empty.

She snuck her way out, so that no one will see her. Then, she took off in a dead run.

She ran to their bedroom but didn’t find her princess. It confirmed that her princess isn’t back from the market.

A feeling of uneasy spread through her body. She took off in a run, straight out of palace.

🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Sally was most surprised when she ran through the roads that lead to the market and saw Remeta. Or a girl that looks like Remeta?

She ran faster to find out who the girl is, but the girl was running so fast and muttering things. She run like there’s fire on the mountain.

When she began catching up with the girl,she started hearing some shouts from crowds. Everywhere was deserted, she can’t find anybody on the road or in any stores.

What is going on!?

She followed the sound of their voices to a gathering of a crowd.

“Let’s burπ her alive already! Thieves should not stay alive!” A woman screamed.

“Let’s string her up the pole naked in the village square so that everybody will see! Thief!” Another woman added.

Sally wondered what the angry mob was all about? And a thief?

She doesn’t have time for this. She needed to go find her princess, knowing that her princess will never be found in gatherings like this.

Princess Danika can’t be in the middle of this crowd where they’re beating up a thief because her heart won’t be able to take the sight.

She turned to continue running her way when she heard a scream. Remeta’s scream.

“Leave her aloneeee! Get away from heeer!!” She screamed so loud, the crowd gasped and most people moved back

Dread filled Sally’s body. She ran into the crowd and began pushing through them to get to the front and see…

She made her way to the front and screamed at the sight in front of her.

Vetta was having so much happiness as she remained in Karandy’s house. She might not be at the market, but she didn’t need to be.

She could hear the angry screams of the women even all the way from here. They are beating Danika up so badly.

Vetta giggled. She doesn’t know what feels better right now… A good o****m? Or the certainty that her plan is going so damn well?

“You look so happy, mistress.” Karandy’s voice came behind her.

“Oh, yes. I’m so so so happy. This is the best thing that has ever happened in a long time. I don’t know why I did not think of this plan all these while. The people… Damn, they hate her a lot.” She drawled happily.

“Yes, they do. I’m sure they’ll even burn her alive. It hasn’t happened in ages but then again, all thieves aren’t King Cone’s daughter.”

“You’re right. Will they burn her?” Vetta thought about it, “It’ll feel so good if they do… Put a stop to her once and for all. I almost feel pity for her. Almost.” She laughed.

“Someone might still be able to help her.” Karandy reasoned.

Vetta shook her head, “You know better than I do that there’s no reasoning with angry crowd. It’s like pouring water to stone, not even the king will be able to achieve a thing with them. He will only become an enemy to his people. Trust me, the king will never want that. No king wants that because it doesn’t make a good ruler. The saying goes… The Voices Of The People Must Be Heard.”

“You’re very right, mistress.”

“I just don’t know why I didn’t think of using the people all these while. I’ve been a fool but not anymore. If she survives this one, I’ll make sure she has another fallout with the people.”

“That can only work if the people keeps hating her.”

She chuckled. “There is no UN-hating King Cone’s daughter. The people can NEVER stop hating her. No amount of magic or spell can make that happen.”

💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮💮

Danika felt detached from her body. The beatings are too much. She can only breath pain as more kicks and hands hit her body.

She laid there sprawled down on the ground, curled into a ball.

She heard people scream but she couldn’t make out who they were. She can’t make out anything anymore.

Her body hurts badly.

Another kick landed on her back. Tears fell from her eyes. Her vision was too blurry, so she can’t see anything. Or hear anyone.

They all sounded so far away. This must be what it feels like to die.

Another person kicked her and she only curled into a tighter ball. She has her hands wrapped to her middle, in a protective mode.

Why was she protecting her belly? There’s no baby in there.

And yet, she couldn’t move her hands. Not even when they rained blows on them.

Another kick landed on her lower back. She heard screams but she couldn’t make out the people screaming.

Pitiful broken sobs filled her ears, and she found out that they were from her.

Her body hurts in a very bad way. Everywhere hurts.

Her lower belly was beginning to cramp too.

******

Sally screamed at the sight in front of her, horror filled her eyes as she stared at her princess curled into a ball on the ground, crying and trembling.

“Get away from her! Get away from her, all of you! What do you think you’re doing!!!?” She screamed at the top of her voice, tears blurring her visions.

The crowd muttered and most of them moved away from Danika. The rest, Sally pushed them away with all her might.

Remeta clutched down in front of Danika, her whole attention on her as she still cried her head out. Sally, on the other hand, was glaring at the villagers with teary years.

“Get away from her, Sally, we don’t want to hurt you. We have to teach this criminal daughter of a monster a lesson!” One of them shouted.

“Are you mad!? Are all of you insane!? How can you do this!? How!? Monsters! You all are the monsters! How can you do this!?” Sally screamed so loud, they all heard it.

Shocked gasped filled the crowd. They didn’t expect this reaction from the good-natured Sally that always have a smile or two on her face for everyone.

“She stole a diamond necklace from Zenia’s shop! It was found in her bag! She’s a thief!” A voice came in the crowd.

“Yes! A thief!” They all echoed in rage.

If not for the love they have for Sally, they would have pushed her away and descend on Danika again.

“She is NOT a thief! She isn’t! How can you all do this!?” Tears left Sally’s eyes like a pool. Her heart was broken to pieces. “I’m so hurt beyond words! How can you all do this!?”

Guilt flashed in most of their eyes. The others just looks like they hate Sally’s delay to their punishment.

“I fed you all in Mombana! All of you! Each and everyone of you! How can you be so much of a hypocrite!? How can you treat her this way!? You call her a thief!? So, what if she’s actually a thief!? I WAS A THIEF TOO!!!” She screamed so loud.

“I WAS A THIEF when I was sneaked around every kitchen in the royal palace to FEED ALL OF YOU! We stole to keep you all alive! So, why don’t you start beating me too!? How can you do this!? She will NEVER steal anything from anybody! Ever!”

A few of them flushed red in guilt.

Sally swiped her hands through her face to wipe most of her tears and see clearly. “You treat her this way because she’s the daughter of the late king!? She is NOTHING like the late king! NOTHING LIKE HIM! Why should a child be punished for a crime she didn’t commit!? She never CHOSE her father!! It is NOT her fault that’s she’s his child!!!”

She glared at all of them, her eyes red with fear and anger.

“This woman you all are beating to death FED YOU ALL in Mombana! She fed EACH AND EVERY ONE of you!!” She screamed at them.

Stunned silence came first. Surprised gasps echoed everywhere.

Most of them who has some sticks raised before, began lowering their sticks. There were murmurs in the crowd.

“No, that’s not possible…” One voice said.

“She couldn’t have…” Another added.

“You’re lying…”

“You’re trying to save her with lies…”

Sally let out an empty laughter at their disbelief. Her heart was ripping out of her chest.

“Did you stop to wonder why it’s always possible for big foods to come to you most of the days!? Have you asked yourself why you ate from silver bowls!?” she whirled around to see all of them because they surrounded her.

“When I STOLE food for you all, I’m able to steal it from the servant’s kitchen of the palace where food was made for the servants to eat. But, you see the MAIN royal kitchen!? I’m NEVER able to get in there no matter how much I tried! It’s always her! ALWAYS!!” She screamed, pointing at Danika.

“She goes there and command the guards to let us in! She matches in there and starts packing food in big silver bowls! She packs so much like a feast and gives to me to give you all! If you have ever eaten from the big silver bowls of the palace, you should be ashamed of yourself because you are BEATING THE FINGER THAT FED YOU!!” She screamed and sobbed.

All of them gasped. All of them.

Sally wasn’t surprised because she knows that ALL of them have eaten from the silver bowls. Princess Danika had made sure of that.

“She was never in support of her father! Never! Her father punished her all the time whenever he finds out what she’s done! She is a good woman! She has never beaten a slave! She has never made a slave labour! She saved me when I was a child and still a slave! I was being tortured and she saved me and kept me with her!! And look at Remeta!!”

They all turned and looked at a crying Remeta who was crutched to the ground, crying and hugging Danika.

“Do you think she will be like this if that woman was evil!? Remeta went through the worst! The worst!! And yet, she defends the daughter of the man of her nightmares, haven’t you all stopped to ask youself why!? She is not EVIL!! She saved you all!! SHE SAVED YOU ALL!!!”

Most of those older women have started crying. A lot of them have dropped their sticks like it burned them. The young women were crying and looking regretful too.

Sally’s red eyes found one woman in the crowd. “Coria, you! You hurt because you lost three children in the hands of King Cone but you have two who survived and didn’t die from hunger, right!? They ate from the silver bowls all the time and it’s because of her!!”

The woman named Coria looked pale like ghost. Her eyes widened and she dropped to the ground and started bawling like a child.

“And you!? When your child was sick and dying, she ate from the silver bowls too!” She screamed at another woman, “and what about you!? And you!? And you!?”

She asked everyone of them and none of them could meet her eyes again. They were crying like she is.

One child ran from the crowd with a huge cup of water in her hands, she ran straight to Danika and knelt down beside her, she began trying to help her drink the water.

All the other children of the lowborns took it like their permission when Sally said nothing. They rushed to Danika and surrounded her. And they were crying and patting her body soothingly.

One particular girl that doesn’t look like she’s more than eight years old was opening crying now and glaring at her mother.

The girl stepped forward bravely but she was sobbing. “Please… Forgive me… I p-put the necklace in her ba.

The crowd gasped in sheer shock and outrage. Miserable cries of shocked and guilt-stricken women.

Sally lowered herself to that girl’s height, still crying uncontrollably. “Why..? Why would you do something like that…?”

The girl turned and glared at her mother who was looking so guilty and resigned. “Mama made me do it…”

Voices rose in the crowd.

“What!?”

“Zenia…?”

“How could she…?”

“Oh, Heavens! What have we done!?”

“I’m so ashamed of myself…”

Sally glared at Zenia with heart filled with rage and pain. Her job here is done.

She turned to her princess and began bawling again at the bruises on her body. Her clothes barely covered her body because they’ve been torn. Her eyes has closed and b***d is in every part of her body.

Why is there b***d between her legs? Sally asked herself worriedly as she walked closer to her princess, but she doesn’t know how to start touching her bruised body.

“Her clothes are all torn… Please, wrap her up with this…” A woman came to her with a neatly folded cloth, she was crying so guiltily.

Sally took the cloth and wrapped Danika’s exposed back with it.

The crowds were screaming and raging at Zenia, but it wasn’t Sally’s problem at the moment. Just then, the guards arrived.

The crowd parted and Chad was the one leading them. His face looked so worried as he surveyed Sally for a few seconds to make sure she’s alright, before his eyes went to Danika.

“She’s unconscious.” He bent down and scooped her so gently into his arms. Her head rolled to one side, her eyes closed.

“We have to g-get her…treated…please!” Sobs won’t let Sally talk anymore. It feels like a horse stomped hard on her chest and crushed it.

The woman in his arms was looking to be in a very critical condition, bruised and bloodied. Chad held her with care and took off in a deadrun with her towards the palace.

He ran with so much speed, but he made sure not to jar her or poke her bruises with the wounds unnecessarily.

Sally held Remeta’s hand and they followed after them. Remeta just keeps crying harder like her heart is breaking apart…maybe it really is.

“He leaves… He leaves… He leaves…” Was all Remeta muttered repeatedly in hard sobs.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

When Remeta ran out on her mother, Baski had tried her best to chase her but she was no match for a fifteen-year-old.

Remeta had ran faster that lightening itself.

So, Baski went back to the palace building and waited for her daughter to return. She went to Danika’s bedroom because she knows that it’s the first place Remeta will come into when she gets back.

Thw wait is killing her. She isn’t sure if her daughter will return…considering the way she ran out.

She tried to keep herself busy. The new herbal-leaves they picked, she emptied all on the table and began taking them one by one to grind.

She was in the middle of it when her door burst open and Chad entered the bedroom carrying—

“Oh, heavens! What happened to her!?” She shouted as Chad rushed to the bedroom and gently laid Danika on the bed.

Sally and Remeta entered behind him but they were crying their eyes out. Baski was happy to see her daughter safe and fine, but she begged to know what happened.

“Why is Danika in this state!?” As she asked, she hurried around to dispose of a bowl of water so as to make use of the bowl.

Sally forced herself to push back her pain and in halting tearful voice, she relayed everything that happened to Baski.

Baski was seated beside Danika and using the water to wipe the b***d from all over her body by the time Sally was done talking. The b***d between her legs caught and held her attention really well.

Did they rape her too!? She asked herself horrified.

“Sally, rush to Argie’s house and call him here immediately.” She said.

Sally nodded vigorously, rushed out of the bedroom to go get the Royal Medicine Man. Baski dismissed Remeta too.

At first, Remeta just kept crying and refused to go. In the end, she turned and ran out of the bedroom.

Alone, Baski quickly got up and raised the torn pieces of Danika’s clothes, but the b***d was too much to be caused by rape. Her brows knitted.

Too much or too little, she wasn’t sure anymore but she had a strong feeling it isn’t rape.

Could it be…?

No. No way, it can’t be, she quickly dismissed. The king is sterile.

So, what could it be?

Baski rid her of the remaining torn piece of clothings, ignored all the other bruises and focused on the b***d that kept coming out from her privates. She began examining her.

Minutes passed. Her fears was confirmed.

All the b***d drained from Baski’s face.

“By the Gods…” She trailed off. Danika is pregnant. Danika is indeed pregnant.

Was pregnant, she quickly corrected herself. Because the baby doesn’t seem to be there anymore.

She stayed shocked for one full minute. When the shock wore off, pain replaced it. How could she have done something like that?

How could she…? She never expected it from Danika at all, why would she…?

“Oh, Danika… Why would you do something like this?” She g*****d in an agonized voice. Tears filled her eyes.

So, just because she told Danika that she doesn’t need herbs that prevents babies, Danika thought that the herbs in her are still protecting her and she went to sleep with another man?
