The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 164

In the evening, Danika was in her bedroom brushing her hair when Baski walked in.

“The king requests that you should be the one to bring his dinner to him in his Chambers.” She informed her with a concerned smile.

Danika’s heart skipped three beats. “Baski?”

The older woman walked closer and took the comb from her. She watched her through the mirror as she ran the comb through her long blonde hair. “My dear?”

“I’ve run out of time.” She whispered, her hand caressing her slight bump.

“I know.” Baski let out a shuddering breath, “I know, Danika. But, the Heavens are with you. They will guide you.”

“Courting week ends tomorrow. He wants to spend the night with me.”

“I know that too. I was thinking, maybe we should go together to tell him about your condition. If I go with you, I might be able to reach him before disaster happens.”

Danika swiveled her head and looked up at the older woman.

“Maybe.” Baski amended.

Danika took a deep breath and turned towards the mirror again. “I don’t know what to do anymore. Remeta was our best shot.”

“Seers cannot be told what to do. They hardly do what is expected of them. My mother told me so much about my great grandfather, Gunther, to know that much.”

Danika looked down at her hands. Her fingers picked at each other nervously at her midriff.

“We will find a time together and we will go to him, alright?” Baski assured her in a low voice.

Danika wished Sally was here. She misses Sally so much.

“Okay.” She answered softly. “I have to go to him.”

Baski packed her hair and clipped it behind her back.

Karandy was preparing to go out in the evening when he got a knock at the door.

He put on his coat, his socks and his shoes. Then, he headed for the door and threw it open. The mistress stood behind the door as usual looking impatient and angry.

“Mistress.” He inclined his head in greeting.

“It took you ages to get the door. I was freezing outside.” She walked inside towards the small fireplace.

“I am sorry I kept you waiting, Mistress.” He was observing her carefully, watching the features of her face.

She strode towards the old chair and lowered herself in it. She crossed her arms, her gaze sliding over him slowly. “Are you going somewhere?”

“I am. I want to go to the brothel downtown.” He didn’t try to mask his meaning.

She snorted in disgust. “Going to pick a prostitute for the night?”

“That’s the idea.”

“Well, this isn’t the time to tumble the sheets with dirty whòres. I have a plan. You can be in on it or not.” She announced rather reluctantly.

Karandy’s brows knitted in thought. This plan of hers she’s giving him a choice to either want in or not, will most definitely favor him.

“Let me guess, our main plan? The first plan?” He tried to tap down the anticipation already coursing through him.

She nodded once. “With a little change.”

A change? “What do you have in mind?”

“I will get Danika out to the back of the palace and you’ll grab her. There’s a small hut back there, take her inside and do everything you want with her. A maid will happen to come across you two lying in an intimate position. She will go and report to the king.”

Karandy found the nearest chair and sat down on it. He doesn’t want to miss this for the world.

Vetta smiled inwardly at the sight of his eagerness. “It is something you have wanted for such a long time. Starting from when you were still a Slave Trainer in the mines.”

“You have no idea. I wanted her for a long time. The bîtch only got me demoted and caused me pain.” His eyes narrowed to slits, “She will finally pay.”

“She will. On the day after tomorrow, you will be getting Danika. Drugged and at your mercy. You can do everything you want, no need to control yourself. I don’t care what you do, but don’t kill her and don’t bruise her where it’ll be visible. A lover’s bite is okay.”

Karand glanced at her suspiciously, “You have it all planned out.”

“I do.” She stated calmly. “So, you taking the opportunity, or should I find someone else?”

“Of course, I’m taking it. It’s the main reason I tangled with you, Mistress, from the beginning. You promised me you can give me Danika.”

Her lips split into a smile. “I’m about to fulfill that promise.”

Danika went to the Royal Kitchen. The cook already has the King’s food on his tray, and everything set for her on the table.

“Here it is.” The cook pointed at it.

“Thank you.” Danika carried the tray of food out of the kitchen, towards the King’s Chambers.

She rounded the Servant’s Quarters, only to see Remeta sitting down at the pavement of the stairs, staring into pace.

“Remeta? Are you alright?” Danika asked, slowing her steps and watching the girl with concern.

She has her fox in her hand, stroking it’s auburn body. The fox was watching Danika with eyes that creeped her out. Danika wouldn’t be surprised if that fox isn’t an original animal. It creeps her out that much.

“Remeta is worried, My Queen.” Her eyes found Danika’s, “Remeta is scared.”

“Why?” Danika forgot about the food she carried, her concern on the girl sitting beside her. “Did anything happen?”

Remeta hesitated. Then, she shook her head.

“Alright, go to your mother’s bedroom. I need to give the king his meal. I will be back.”

Remeta gave her a small smile and nodded her head in affirmation.

Danika returned her smile and walked past her.

“My Queen?”

Danika turned, “Mmh?”

“I am sorry, My Queen, but it is written. But, the gods favor you. The Heavens favor you. Darkness all around you, but a bright light so blinding is ahead of you. Just a little out of reach. Hang in there, My Queen.”

She smiled at her sadly. Then, she turned and walked away.

Danika stood there for a full minute, trying to comprehend what the girl just said.

In the end, she gave up and continued her journey towards the Royal Quarters.
