The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 174

LAST EPISODE 1.

Vetta wouldn’t stop smiling. She was having a very beautiful day and it showed on her face.

She might be carrying the King’s child. She might be pregnant for him already. The thought couldn’t stop making her smile.

Not to mention that her plan is already in motion. She’d been watching when Danika walked to the backyard to get her clothes and didn’t return. Vetta doesn’t need to be a seer to know that Karandy must have grabbed his quarry.

Poor pregnant woman. And poor Karandy too.

Men will always be men, Vetta thought as she turned and began walking outside in search of the king. The useless asshóle might have noticed that there’s a loophole in her plan, but l**t blindsided him.

His obsession of Danika’s body has blocked him from seeing every other thing. Including his own doom.

“Did you see the King?” She asked the first maid she saw when she got outside the palace building.

“I saw him at the training field. He just finished teaching sword fights to the trainees. I think he is about to leave.” The maid answered with a bow.

She nodded curtly and continued her journey. Once she entered the vicinity of the big training field, she saw him at first glance. She stood for moment, admiring him.

She has always loved having this man as hers. A man so powerful, and so different from other men who belonged to her, listened to her and needed her so much before.

And then, Danika had to come along and take him from her. Danika ruined everything she’d spend more than six years working so hard for and she doesn’t even deserve him.

She’s the daughter of the monster who created the monster the King is today—who created the monster she, Vetta, is today. Danika is the very spawn of the devil himself.

And today, she will pay in unspeakable ways Even if it means that the king will kill his own child by his hands….if Karandy hasn’t done the job.

“My King!” She called from the entrance of the field.

King Lucien turned and acknowledged her with an inclination of his head before he faced away from her and began walking out of the field through the other end.

She hurried her steps to get to him. When she reached him, she fell into steps with him. “I saw the trainees, My King. You must have done a pretty good job leading the training today.”

“Most of them are still far away when it comes to swordsmanship, but they will get there.” He replied as calmly as possible.

“I believe so too. You have always been the best swordsman. A warrior to the core. It was one of the things King Cone feared so much, the reason he locked you away all the time.”

King Lucien continued walking, his arms together behind his back. The palace workers bowed and greeted him at every turn, and he inclined his head slightly in acknowledgment of their greetings.

“What are you doing out here, Vetta? Shouldn’t you be at the market, picking a new dress to give your seamstress?” He asked after a little silence.

Vetta smiled beside him, feeling all fluttered up. He remembered the ball she told him about last night, that she’d been invited to by Lady Mirabeth.

Wiping the smile from her face, she took on a sad look, “I lost a sample of the new dress I had in mind for the ball, My King.”

He spared her a glance. “How did that happen?”

“I have no idea, My Lord. I think I must have misplaced it and it hurts me a lot.”

“I apologize for that. Maybe you should tell the maids to help you search?”

Vetta nodded, “I will keep that in mind for later, My King. For now, I just want to accompany you on a walk.”

They got out from the vicinity of the field, and the king stopped suddenly. Vetta raised her head to see why and saw Baski ahead of them.

The older woman seems to be searching for something, but when she saw the King, she strode towards them and bowed her head. “Good day, My King.”

“You look worried. Are you alright, Baski?” His voice was neutral, but there is a thread of underlying concern in it.

Baski’s fave mirrored her own worry and concern. She was out of breath like she’d been running. “I’ve been looking for Remeta all morning. She woke up this morning crying, and then, she took off in a run out of the Palace. I’ve not seen her until now.”

“You should not let it bother you, Baski. Remeta will be back. You know how she loves roaming the wild.” The king speculated.

Baski calmed a bit but she was still agigated. “I know, My King. But, she ran out of the palace. She looked scared and in pains. I don’t know what to do for her…”

The king continued walking slowly, and Baski fell into steps with them. “Myabe you should just give her a little space. It might be all she needs, since she ran out of the Palace.”

“I thought so too. I thought, maybe, she’d gone to town to stay with Danika during water supply.” Baski injected.

“I do not think Zariel’s group has left the palace yet. Zariel is still getting the supplies they will need ready.”

Baski’s steps faltered. “You mean, that they are still in the Palace, Your Highness?”

The king nodded. “That is the message I got this morning.”

Baski’s brows creased in worry. If Zariel’s crew hasn’t left then, where is Danika?

When she went to her bedroom in search of Remeta, and didn’t see any sign of her, she’d thought that Zariel’s crew has already left. That’s strange.

“I do think that they might have already left for town, My King.” Baski repeated, staring up at the king.

He shook his head to indicate that she’s wrong. Then, he turned to his three guards that followed a few feet behind them. “Has Zariel left?”

“No, Your Majesty. They are still making preparations.” One of them answered, after they all shook their heads. Another guard was carrying the King’s sword and it’s patch.

The king swiveled his head and continued walking. Baski felt worried. Where is Danika?

Vetta does not like how the King carried on a conversation with old Baski without her. So, she looked to the sky and inserted her voice, “Isn’t it a beautiful morning?”

“I guess it is.” Was all the king said.

As Baski walked with them, she tried to calm herself with lots of possibilities—many reasons why Danika has disappeared in the past. She must have fallen asleep in one corner.

That might just be it because poor Danika tends to fall asleep every time and everywhere. Or maybe, she has gone to see Sally like she indicated she would in the morning.

They got to a curve. Two routes: one leads to the woods, while the other leads to the backyard of the palace.

“Can we go through this route?” She asked, pointing at the one that leads to the backyard, “I want to stop by the storeroom. There are some clothes I gave my maid to take out yesterday and keep in the store until it’s time to take them to the village and distribute to woman of poor backgrounds. I think I most have mistakenly packed in those samples I was talking about.”

“Alright.” The king responded.

Satisfaction sizzled through her like a bird in the wind. They started down the part that leads to the storeroom, she couldn’t help her smile again.

Karandy better had used his small time to good use by taking as much pleasure as he needed from Danika’s supple. Because, the real show is about to hit the road.

A show that includes his death, Danika’s death and her child’s death too.

All of a sudden, Remeta’s words came back to her. Her steps faltered.

“You get away this time around but what about next time? Don’t. When the plan comes to your head, ignore it. Do not do it. You will hurt queen. You will hurt Prince. You will hurt his father. And you will get hurt. You get away this time around, and you get hurt the next. And your nemesis is coming in form of a person.”

Goosebumps worked it’s way down her spine at the vivid reminder of those creepy words from a very creepy young-adult.

Remeta has always been crazy, Vetta. It solidified her resolve and she pushed the words away from her mind.

Remeta was just crazy.
