The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 161

“I saw you and the king that night. In his chambers. On the floor. In each other’s arms, asleep.” Came the calm reply at last.

Danika didn’t have to think hard for the mental image to come. When it did, her b***d ran cold. She saw her intimate night with the king.

“Oh…” Danika muttered guiltily.

She doesn’t know what to say about that. Once a princess herself, she can understand the disrespect Kamara feels. Not to mention the anger and even hurt.

Kamara let out a deep breath. “I’m not angry at you. I’m not even hurt, or I would have done something about it these past few weeks.”

“You aren’t?” Danika asked, uncertain and bewildered.

“No, I’m not. Sadly, what I saw made it easier for me to understand a lot of things. I made peace with it.”

“I don’t understand.”

Kamara turned towards Danika. Her lips curved a bit, her eyes watching her. All too knowingly.

Her seeing gaze unsettled Danika, but she didn’t let it show. The only person who can see her weak and unsettled, is the king.

Kamara turned forward and continued walking. “I will tell you a story. In Navia, there is this man that suddenly appeared in our kingdom. I took one look at him and knew immediately that he isn’t from Navia.”

Danika listened attentively, they rounded another corner.

“Women in the village told stories of how the man washed up our shores, almost drowned and drained and injured severely. I was making rounds in the village to take note of the crop growth and market activities when I saw him first. His blue eyes were the first features of him I noticed.”

“Blue eyes?” Danika’s asked curiously.

Kamara nodded, her eyes dazed in memory. “Very blue. Deep blue, like the sea. A lot of people has blue eyes but only few has one so deep it can easily captivate.”

“Like the King’s.”

“Huh?”

Danika shrugged, “The king’s eyes are that same deep blue.”

“Yeah. I noticed immediately I stood in his presence. But unlike the king, that man stole my heart.”

“What…?” Danika started. That was completely unexpected.

Kamara’s lips curved sadly, “I fell in love with him, Danika. He isn’t a man of status, he lives in a small hut on a secluded part of town, and he was mostly so sick. Henna and I took care of him most of the times, we nursed him back to health.”

“Your father allowed it?” She asked, surprised. Her own father will punish her severely for something like that.

Kamara shook her blond hair. “No, he didn’t. I visited him in secret.”

It all started making sense to Danika. “Let me guess, your father found out and matched you with the King.

Kamara nodded, “Yes.”

“I’m so sorry…” No wonder she kept herself holed up in her bedroom, Danika thought sadly. She understands Kamara’s plight on a very personal level.

“So, that was it. I understand what it’s like to be in love. You’re in love with the king.”

Danika’s mouth opened and closed. Her jaw dropped. She never thought Kamara would find her out, she bit her lips worriedly. This is not a good idea.

“Do not worry, I have no intention of being a ‘bitch’ about it. That was why I told you my story.” she paused, “Falling in love with a peasant is as dangerous as falling for the king. My father found me out and I’m paying for it. You keep hoping that the mistress never finds out about it. She might use it as the perfect opportunity to have your head in a spike.”

“I know, thank you, Kamara. I avoid the mistress like a plague. She doesn’t like me very much.” Danika confided softly.

“No, she doesn’t. Loving the king is dangerous, a lot of things can go wrong.” she shook her head. “Besides, you already have so much problems on your hand, without me adding to it.”

Danika’s steps faltered. She turned her head and glanced at Kamara.

Concern marred her face. “The second most dangerous thing a slave can do is to fall for her Master. The first and foremost is getting pregnant for her Master.”

Danika felt a huge wave of dizziness swam her. Kamara’s hand was around her immediately, steadying her.

“Oh, Heavens…” She felt cold on the inside. She has always known that, but hearing Kamara say it out loud reminded her of how dangerous a land she is threading.

Kamara let her go gently when she found her footing. She turned to face her completely. “Maybe that is why I feel a little bad about going home. That mistress will eat you raw and spit you out if she finds out about your condition. That is, if she hasn’t found out yet. If you escape being murdered by the king, that mistress will definitely do the job. You thread a dangerous ground, sister.”

“Y-You know…?” Danika couldn’t believe this. Kamara knows she’s pregnant… She knows.

Kamara nodded her head solemnly. “I will be a fool not to realize. I watched you from a far, the symptoms are written all over you. The fatigue. The sleepings. The day you had to vomit your lungs out on the backyard?” she paused, “I know, Danika.”

Danika was speechless, she doesn’t know what to say about that. It shocked and scared.

“You’re not…mad? About it?” She forced herself to ask at last.

Kamara shook her head. “No. I love Callan so much, I would like to carry his child anytime.” She informed her proudly, “You love the king. It is only fitting that you do not have the heart to rid yourself of his child, even when your life is practically hanging on a thread because of it.”

“I feel so happy that I will see my Callan again after so many months, you do not know how happy I feel.” Kamara continued, “But I worry for you, Danika. That mistress would do anything in her power to make your life hell if she finds out. Beware of her.”
