The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 124

King Lucien walked into the dungeon. The two new prisoners got up and knelt before him in greeting.

“Your H-Highness…” They said in reunion, their voices showed their nervousness.

King Lucien stood at the entrance of it and looked at both women. Coria and Zenia.

He has a fleeting memory of Coria back in Mombana. He has never known her to be wicked. Her actions were unexpected.

He closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the image of Danika lying down there all bandaged up and in pain.

The actions of his people… It was animalistic.

He just stood watching the two women, his expression as hard—as cold—as ever. It makes both of them as nervous as ever.

His silence wasn’t making it any easier for them. They waited for him to talk but he wouldn’t say a word.

“We’re so sorry! Oh, please…! We’re so sorry…!” Zenia began crying seriously.

Tears filled Coria’s eyes and she sniffled silently, looking as remorseful as Zenia. The two older women were still kneeling and their heads bowed.

“I am so disappointed in the both of you.” His voice so calm, but they heard the intensity just the same as words that were shouted.

They cried the more, sobbing. Because the truth is that they are more disappointed in themselves.

To actually think that they spent a great deal of time hating King Cone’s daughter when she kept them alive in the only way she could have. When she did the things she could do to help them.

They should never have agreed with the former slave trainer. They should never have taken his money…or even taken the oath of secrecy. They never expected Cone’s daughter to be innocent, and they never expected to be in this dungeon.

Coria and Zenia’s heart was broken. They are no better than King Cone. They should be punished accordingly.

“I’m r-ready to take any judgment you give out, Your Highness,” Zenia whispered in resignation.

“Me too…” Coria knows that even if the king gives them the death sentence they deserve, their children will be well taken care of.

With their head lowered, they waited for the judgment of the king. It was a long wait.

The silence was deafening.

When he spoke again, it wasn’t his judgment he was passing. “Did you two act alone?”

They stared at each other in fear… Glanced at the king… And lowered their heads to the ground.

They are scared of the former Slave trainer. He made them take the oath of secrecy.

Apart from that, It’s rumored that he’s a very dangerous man, they aren’t terrified about themselves but about their children.

“We acted a-alone.” They lied nervously. Coria squeezed her hands together against her plain dress.

People who are close to the king haven’t gotten used to his silence. They haven’t gotten used to the way he has to think his words through and say sentences one after another.

Talk more of two women who are in the wrong and await a judgment that might mean their deaths.

As they waited for him to say something, they almost peed their pants. His silence was that unnerving.

Then, he turned, giving them his back. “It is only fair that the woman you both almost killed becomes the one to pass your judgment. Danika will decide your fate. If she demands your deaths, your heads will be hanging by the poles before sundown tomorrow.”

He turned and walked out of the dungeon. He took three steps and stopped.

“Before that happens, I come back here again and I will ask who the mastermind is. Again. You can also decide to tell me the truth then.”

There was no sound to his footsteps as he walked away with his guards.

Coria and Zenia looked at each other. Silently, they began weeping again, sorrowfully.

Not only about their children’s lives being in danger, but the late King Cone’s daughter will definitely sentence the both of them to death.

Danika drifted in and out of consciousness. Sally was right there by her side through it all.

When she needed to relieve her bladder, Sally helped her to the bathroom to do so, and when she needed to take her bath, she was also the one to help her with it.

Danika kept complaining about her back aching, and she relieved her bladder a lot. Sally helped her patiently without any complaints at all, instead, she just wants her princess to be fine again.

As the day progresses, Baski came in and gave her herbs. She changed Danika’s bandages to new ones and gave her more sleeping pills.

Baski wanted desperately to talk to Danika but she hasn’t been able to do so.

She hasn’t gotten the opportunity because Sally is right there with her, and the anesthetics Danika was given wouldn’t let her stay awake long enough for that conversation.

Also, she hesitated because she knows more than anybody that it’s not a good idea to put pressure on Danika, considering what she’s been through. And her condition too.

That’s if she’s still pregnant. And it’s looking like she’s not, any longer.

So, she waited. Coming in every hour to give her some medicinal potions and pills, and some healing herbs too.

But when evening came, she came back to the bedroom and gave Sally an errand to run.

“But, who will stay with my princess?” Sally asked, staring worriedly at Danika.

“I will.” She assured the girl to soothe her worries.

Sally bit her lips, “She hasn’t eaten lunch. She said she’s not hungry…”

“I’ll make sure she eats something. Call Uyah on your way out and tell her to get some food from the kitchen.”

“Thank you, Madam Baski,” Sally whispered gratefully.

Baski only nodded, her sadness hidden well inside her.

She’d seen the king in the wee hours of the morning going back to his chambers.

No one knows that he stayed with Danika the night and the way she saw the king on the night before, holding Danika’s hand and kissing it so tenderly….

Baski would have sworn that the king will not care less if Princess Kamara herself saw him in Danika’s bedroom.

Then, how on earth can Danika do that to him? Cheat on him with another man to the entent of carrying the man’s child?

“Oh, Danika… What did you do…” She muttered miserably as she stared at the bruised figure sleeping on the bed.

She strode to the table and began grinding new herbs. A while later, Uyah brought in a tray of food.

Baski took the food from Uyah and walked towards Danika, she sat down beside her bed.

“You have to eat, Danika.” She woke her gently and carefully.
