The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 177

“Guards.” He never raised his voice. Never looked at Danika for once.

‘”Your Majesty!” Three guards behind him answered at the same time, stepping forward.

Dread filled Baski. Whatever it is he has to say made her so scared. New tears filled her eyes. “Please, Lucien… Please…”

He didn’t spare her a glance. “Take the slave to the dungeon. I, King Lucien, sentence Slave Danika to death. She will be hanged on the morning of the fourth day from today, at the square.”

Baski began crying earnestly.

He didn’t miss a beat as he continued, “Until that day, she will remain in the dungeon with no food and water.” That said, he turned and walked out of the storeroom.

“Oh, Heavens!!” Baski cried out in misery, raising both trembling hands to cover her mouth.

Vetta felt victorious down to her shoes. This feeling is much better than an intense o****m. But, she gritted her teeth.

She’d expected him to use his sword on her immediately, like he used on Karandy. Why postpone it, dammit!?

So, she has to wait for four days to see Danika dead?

Shît. Well, she can wait. Her eyes found Danika still jerking at the floor from being collar-shocked. A smile flickered her lips.

With no food and water? Poor woman wouldn’t last two days.

She knew her plan was a masterplan. Having been with the king for years, she knows how his temper is. She knows the reason why he has always kept his temper in a tight leash is because when it explosive.

She knew that he would kill Karandy instantly. She’d expected him to do the same to Danika too.

But then again, she never counted on him being…hurt. Anger, yes. Not hurt.

Her smile slipped. He didn’t look only hurt, he looked shattered. He loves her.

The realization caused her chest to hurt badly. He fell deeply in love for her…even without knowing.

It doesn’t matter. She only has to make him love her too.

Holding that thought, she turned and followed the king out. With Danika out of the way, she felt so much better.

She can have her Lucien all to herself again.

This day cannot get any better at all!

The guards came closer to take Danika, but Baski rushed forward. “Please, wait! Wait!”

They hesitated, afraid of going against the King’s words. Dargak turned towards her and opened his mouth.

She beat him to it. “Please, let me get to her first. She is in a bad condition, it will only take a few moment.”

Dargak still hesitated. Then, he nodded and stepped back. The two other guards did the exact same thing their leader did.

Baski walked towards Danika and knelt down beside her. She began patting Danika’s back as softly as possible. “It’s okay. It’s okay… It’s okay, Danika…”

“Hurts…! Everywhere hurts…!” She whimpered, her eyes drawing to a close. Tears slipped from them, down her cheeks and down to the ground.

“I know, I know. You will be fine… Take deep breaths. It will pass… Just try…” Baski instructed, still patting her back. Her eyes automatically went to Danika’s lower body and more tears slipped from her eyes.

She wasn’t surprised that Danika was bleeding.

It didn’t surprise her that she was loosing her baby at all. The collar-shock does the best abortion. Including, killing the mother.

There is nothing she, Baski, can do about it. There is no way she can help. Not this time.

“I h-hurt every-where…” Danika cried miserably, clutching her lower abdomen tightly as her body jerked again.

“Just follow my instructions.” Baski encouraged, sniffling to keep the tears at bay. She breathed deeply and Danika followed her obediently.

“That’s it. That’s it. You’re doing well…” The older woman kept patting Danika’s hair rhythmically. “That’s my baby. That’s my strong Princess…”

Slowly, the jerks subsided and Danika’s body went lax on the ground after she shuddered the last time. Tears kept dripping from her eyes.

“I… I t-think I’m loosing my c-child, Baski…” She cried, pain laced her shaking voice.

“I know, Danika. It’s okay. Keep breathing through the pain…” Baski instructed, wiping her tears, “…you will be fine.”

“I-I don’t…oh, heavens…!” She cried out, clutching her belly tighter and rolling over, “I-I don’t want to l-loose my child….”

“We have to take her now.” Dargak interrupted gently.

Baski nodded, wiping the tears from her eyes. She moved aside, “Please, carry her, Dargak. Don’t drag her away, please. Her body can’t take it.”

“Alright, Ma’am.” Dargak leaned down and lifted an almost-naked crying Danika into his arms. He carried her away and the other guards followed him.

Alone, Baski sat down there beside Karandy’s dead body and began crying her eyes out. Crushing her chest, she cried like the world is ending.

Maybe, the world is indeed ending.

How did this happen…? How is it possible that Danika will cheat on the King?

She loves him so much, and she hated Karandy more than anything in the world. Then, how is this possible? Some things do not add up at all.

Or it’s just her trying to see the best in Danika. In this situation. Baski shook her head miserably, developing her a headache.

Is this why Remeta disappeared from the Palace? Is this why her daughter fell sick from the night before, cried herself to sleep and awake? Is that why she ran away at dawn?

Baski shook her head miserably, drawing her knees up and wrapping her arms around her knees. How can there be so much disaster in one morning?

Danika caught in the arms of a lover.

The king is shattered.

Danika is loosing her pregnancy.

Remeta is missing.

Danika will be executed in three days.

The King just killed his own child by his own hands.

Baski did not know how long she sat there on the cold hard ground.

Later, she wiped her tears and got up.

No. There is no way she is letting all this go. She will investigate! She will do her best to find out the truth of everything that happened today!

First of all, she needs to hear from Danika. Then, she will look for Remeta.

For, her daughter might be the only person that knows the whole truth about this tragedy that befall this kingdom today.
