The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 185

Remeta reached the gates of the Palace and hesitated. Her heart in her throat. So much guilt in her heart.

Beware of the Three W.

If her Queen had known that it means, beware of the Three Witnesses that witnessed her compromising position with the former Slave Trainer, would it have changed a thing?

Remeta’s mother, the King and his mistress had witnessed that day in the storeroom. The day that changed everything. Would it have changed a thing?

Corna had told her in those tiny voice of his that it’s not her fault, and it wouldn’t have changed anything.

She gathered enough strength and walked into the gates of the Palace. She went straight to her mother’s bedroom.

Baski and Sally just got back from the forest, they just spent hours picking different kinds of leaves and seeds.

Sally was helping her grind the seeds, and Baski was stirring the mixed leaves when the door opened and Remeta stood behind it, looking so lost.

“Remeta!” Baski gasped, letting go of the stirring wood as if it burned her and hurried out of the chair.

She rushed to her and hugged her tight. “Oh, Remeta, how can you do this!? How can you run away for three days!? You left me all worried and sick!”

“I’m so sorry, Mama… Remeta is so so sorry.” She cried, holding on to her mother’s back and clinging to her embrace.

Sally walked closer and hugged her too from behind, “We’re glad to have you back, Remeta. My Princess have missed you so much.”

Guilt flashed in her eyes. “I missed her so much too.”

Baski pulled back, looking all sad. “A lot has happened in your absence, my child. Danika is about to be executed tomorrow morning.”

“I k-know. It hurts Remeta too.” She admitted in a whisper.

Sally grabbed hold of her hands. “Oh, Remeta, can you be able to do something about it? Please help us… Please, help my Princess…she has suffered so much!”

Tears filled Sally’s eyes just at the thought of what Danika is going through. “The King wouldn’t hear us out. He wouldn’t even give us a chance to see him and plead on her b-behalf…”

“Remeta does not know what to do too…” She shifted uncomfortably, “Remeta is not supposed to interfere but she wants to. Remeta cannot face the King, she feels so much fear, she will not be able to talk!”

Baski took her hand from Sally’s and grabbed hold of her other hand. She knelt down in front of her daughter, forcing all Remeta’s attentions to her.

“I know my daughter. I know the child I gave birth to….she is so brave. When King Cone made you The King’s Slave years ago at just a tender age, you cannot know how badly it crushed me. Watching you do all those works that were never meant for a child of your age… Hearing your s-screams all those nights…”

“He made Remeta lie on the bed and he would hurt her so badly.” Tears and terror filled Remeta’s eyes, “My Queen promised me that there will be no more bed for Remeta, and she has kept her promise for so long. W-Who will protect Remeta if her Queen dies…?”

“No one. I will never be able to do a good job at it, Remeta. I am your mother, but I wasn’t able to save you when you drifted away from me through madness.”

“You tried so hard. Stop feeling so sad, you tried your best to reach Remeta but you couldn’t. Remeta was feeling so lost…just like the King is feeling right now. The King saved me repeatedly from the hands of the Monster King and my Queen helped me too. Who will help them? Who will help the King?

Baski wiped the tears from her eyes. “No one. He’s all alone. So, why don’t you go in there and sit with him?”

“If I talk about My Queen, he will get angry at Remeta.”

Tears filled Sally’s eyes just at the thought of what Danika is going through. “The King wouldn’t hear us out. He wouldn’t even give us a chance to see him and plead on her b-behalf…”

Sally and Baski looked at each other. They turned back to her, “Then, don’t talk about her. Just be there for him. Who knows, you might help calm him down long enough for me to get these herbs ready.”

“Which herbs are that?”

“A powerful one. I want to extract the remains of the pills used to drug Danika and show it to the King. It will make a strong case.’

She hesitated, then she nodded her head. “Okay, Mama.”

Baski nodded too before she rose to her feet. “Where is your fox?” She asked curiously.

“Daain?” She looked around, but indeed her companion was nowhere to be seen. “But, she was with me at the Palace gate…”

The door opened and there the Fox stooped, it’s beady eyes looking around. Beside the fox stood a little boy Baski has never seen before.

“Corna!” Remeta ran to the boy, “What are you doing here!? How did you get here?”

“It’s Daain. She brought me here.” He responded, staring uncertainly at the two women inside the bedroom.

Remeta lifted her fox and rubbed their cheeks together, “Oh, Daain, when did you ran away to go get Corna? You did a good job!”

Then, she took the shy boy’s hand and introduced him to her mother,Baski, and then Sally. She told them that Corna is her new friend and she’s been staying with him for the past three days.

Baski thanked little Corna for thanking care of her daughter, and also told him to extend her greeting to his family.

Remeta told Corna how she’s going to the King’s Chambers, and how scared she is. Corna was scared too, but he agreed to follow her.

“Thank you so much, Corna, for helping Remeta.” Remeta squeezed the boy’s hand in gratitude.

Corna smiled, his small cheeks dimpled. “May the heavens and the spiwits guide us.”
