The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 143

Sally and Chad married in the local church, and a lot of people attended too.

Danika was shocked that almost the whole of Salem, came to witness their legal union. Mombana came too, and for the first time in a long time, she saw the familiar face of most of her people.

Tears sprang to her eyes when her people walked past her and bowed to her. They still recognize her as their princess…even when she was dressed in rags.

And the king was there too.

He was seated at the front with his guards behind him, and Chad’s joy about his presence was clearly written on his face. He knows how busy the King’s schedule is, so he knows the sacrifice the king made to be present on his special day.

Princess Kamara sat on the left side of the king with a kind smile on her face, and Vetta was seated by his right side glaring at the door of the church. That was where the bride and her handler stood.

Apparently, the mistress does not like weddings too. But, the way she’s glaring at the door, you’ll give it a second thought.

Is it truly the wedding she doesn’t like? Or the bride’s handler?

Danika stood beside Sally at the door of the church. Sally has no other family, and so, Danika is acting as her handler who will give Sally away.

Sally was dressed in a beautiful white extravagant ball gown and Danika in a red less-extravagant gown. The both of them looked so beautiful.

Sally has a bright smile that made her face radiant and glowing, but she was so nervous, Danika took her hand and smiled at her in reassurance.

She walked her down the aisle and the wedding rituals began. A lot of time passed before, finally, the old priest pronounced them man and wife.

The joy of the couples were so apparent, it brought tears to Danika’s eyes. So many things were urging tears to her eyes.

Her Sally is getting married, after today, Sally will no longer be here for her all the time because she’s a married woman and her husband comes first. She will miss Sally so much.

And then, the love in their eyes. It’s so obvious that Chad loves Sally so much, the always brooding guard wore a warn smile on his face. If only the king will love her this way…

Her eyes darted towards the King at the opposite side of the church and widened when their gaze collided. He’d been watching her.

His eyes pinned hers and she doesn’t know why he’d be looking at her that way.

She quickly averted her eyes, her heart racing. If only wishes were horses, she signed dreamily.

But wishes aren’t. The only man she loves so much is one man she cannot have.

“We call on the bride’s handler to give a little speech about the bride.” The priest’s voice jerked her back to the present.

All eyes turned to her.

Danika got up from her seat and took a step forward. Suddenly, her eyes blurred…

Oh, no…! Creator, please not here…! Not now…!

She took another step and another wave of dizziness slammed her so much, the world blurred around her.

Baski was sitting beside her and she noticed when she almost lost her balance. The older woman got up immediately and held her, steadying her.

“You can’t, Danika. Not here…!” She whispered heatedly into Danika’s ear.

“I feel so dizzy, Baski… I don’t think I can make it to that altar.” Danika replied, her fear apparent in her trembling voice.

“Holy Creator.” Baski whispered under her breath.

Danika blinked hard and looked up. Everyone was watching her. They looked worried and confused with the way she staggered to a stop in the middle of the aisle and Baski was holding her.

Her eyes darted towards the king, he was still watching her but this time, his brows furrowed.

Baski raised her voice, “I apologize on behalf of the handler. As you all know a week ago, she was beaten up badly in the market and she’s yet to recover fully.”

The confusion cleared from most faces, but guilt and sadness remained. Sally looked relieved by Baski’s intervention, she watched as Baski led her back to her seat.

The King’s expression didn’t change.

Danika sat down again and tried to level her breathing. The old priest continued other activities, jumping the parts that involved the handler.

The wedding progressed from there until it was finally done. Danika felt guilty that she almost ruined things for Sally. Her face reflected her guilt when they all came out of the church afterwards.

She was hugging Sally and apologizing for almost ruining her day.

“No! Don’t ever say a thing like that, my day is not ruined. I’m very happy that madam Baski was able to cover it all up. I can’t begin to imagine how much disaster it would have been if your condition was found out so publicly. It would mean hell for you, My Princess.”

Danika sighed as she pulled back, “Those were my thoughts exactly, Sally.”

“I’m so nervous about tonight, My Princess.” Sally confided nervously, her beautiful face with light makeup, filled with uncertainty.

Danika took her hand in reassurance. “You don’t have to be, Sally. You’re going to be with a man you love. That basically means that everything will be fine.”

“You’re right, you’re right.” She took a deep breath and smiled anxiously.

“Oh, Sally, I’m going to miss you so much!” Danika hugged her again, emotion clouding her throat.

Sally closed her eyes holding her tight. “I’ll miss you too, My Princess. I’m glad that you have Madam Baski and Remeta. If not, I don’t know how I would have coped with leaving you all alone on this place! I’ll still be working here, so I’ll see you almost everyday…!”

They stayed that way for a while before they had to pull away.

Danika watched the king as he strode to his carriage. She picked up his stiff shoulders, and the tension that radiates from his body even from afar. What changed?

He was so relaxed during the wedding, what happened to make him look this way?

Sally followed her eyes to see the king entering into his carriage, ready to go back to the palace. Sally bit her lips at the hunger and longing on Danika’s face.

Her Princess wears her deep love for the king on her face whenever she’s looking at him, she wondered how no one else has been unable to notice this?

She’s glad they haven’t too. It will only mean more problem for her princess.

Sally bit her lips. “When will you tell him?”

Danika knows she meant the pregnancy. “I don’t know, Sally.” She answered truthfully. Just the thought of the king finding out has her belly tied in a knot.

“You can’t hide it forever, My Princess.”

“I know, Sally, I know. But…” she waved her hands uncertainty, trying to explain her thoughts. In the end, she let her hands fall to her sides, “I’m too scared. I don’t know how to go about it, Sally.”
