The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 204

Danika stayed with Sally all day. It was one of the best days of her life.

Sally’s company has always been the best company ever. Danika was supposed to wash clothes today but Baski was adamant that she is to do nothing other than to rest and recuperate.

She’d heard from Baski that Angie examined her body while she’s asleep, and she heard that he’d already told the King the results of his check-up on her. She wasn’t particularly perturbed because she still feels pregnant.

Her child…her son…is still inside her. It gave her immeasurable joy, coupled with her relationship with the King…it kept her smiling all day.

She’d done nothing all day, only resting. And more resting. It was exhausting. But, Sally’s wonderful company made everything so beautiful.

“And that’s how they lived happily ever after, Sally concluded as she closed the book, and kept it aside.

“You really improved greatly in reading. Oh, Sally, I’m so proud of you.” Danika gasped excitedly from the bed she laid.

Sally grinned, her cheeks glowing with a blush. “I made sure to dedicate most of my time every day to reading, My Princess. Just the way you thought me.” She answered radiantly.

“Tell me how you’ve been? How’s life with your husband?”

Her eyes glinted brightly. “So, beautiful, My Princess. I couldn’t have wished for a better man than Chad. He treats me so right…like I’m more than I am.”

“You’re so much more than you are, Sally. I’m so happy, Chad is treating you right. You both have been married for two months now.” She felt so happy for Sally, but she also felt a little bit of envy for her best friend.

Sally only smiled at that longing in her Princess’s eyes. “You might never know, My Princess. Look how far you’ve come. From being a monster’s daughter to a hated slave. And now?

Now, you’re the woman the King wants and cares for. You just might never know what tomorrow will hold.” She concluded with a smile.

Danika dipped her head, sadness crossing her eyes. “It’s because I’m carrying his child. It’s not really because of me.”

“You and I know that you don’t believe that either. He only found out about your pregnancy yesterday, but he has been changing towards you for ages. Am I wrong?” Sally asked curiously.

Danika didn’t need to think about it, because she knows Sally is right. She nodded.

Sally took her hand into hers, “All will be fine. No, all is already fine. I’m so happy that you’re exonerated from those awful charges.”

That brought a smile to Danika’s face, “I’m so happy that I was exonerated too.”

Sally’s eyes went to the hourglass by the window. She got up from the chair, “I’ll run you a bath, so that you’ll get ready for your evening walk with the King.” she grinned mischievously, “I can see the way you’re constantly looking at the wall clock, My Princess.”

Caught, Danika flushed and averted her eyes. It’s been in her mind all day…her evening walks with the King.

Sally began laughing, unable to help herself. Oh heavens, but she has missed this precious moment with her Princess. She headed for the bathroom.

“I can run my own baths, Sally.” Danika called.

Sally didn’t pause for a moment. “I know, My Princess. I just miss running your baths for you.”

Callan and Kamara were having a great time. The day couldn’t have been any better.

She stayed right there with him in the backyard while he cut woods for hours. She told him stories after stories, enlivening the place and making him wish that the day would never end.

Afterward, she’d insisted that she’ll join him in delivering the woods to the house of his customers. He’d refused because he didn’t want to stress her but she’d insisted.

So, he’d rushed to the nearby seamstress and bought plain wear that’ll disguise her and make her look like a normal girl…not stand out like a princess.

Kamara had readily taken some dress from him and put it on. When she stepped out and showed him, Callan was tongue-tied at her beauty. Even in a dress so plain and cheap, she still looks glaringly like a princess.

She’d flushed in excitement when she saw the look of appreciation after she changed clothes and she’d taken his wordless compliment. Wearing a simple hat on her head, she’d hid her wavy blond hair too.

Then, they’d gone from one customer’s house to another while he delivers their goods to them. Kamara found it most fun and a cherishing moment, spending such a great time with him.

She found out that his elderly customers like him so much, they are always smiling and complimenting him. Hours passed by quickly, much to the couple’s pain but they made the most of it.

On their way back, they roamed through the woods, talking and laughing and telling stories. They held hands together while they discussed simple little things.

At some points, they’ll stop and kissed for several moments before they’ll continue their journey.

By the time they got back to Callan’s place, it’s time for Kamara to go back home.

She didn’t want to go but she knew she had to. Henna must have made it possible for her to keep being here and she mustn’t put her personal maid and Callan in danger all because she has a star so far away from the Palace…so out of reach.

A star she wants to reach by all means…whenever and however she can.

She dressed up and said goodbye to Callan with the promise that she’ll sneak out again tomorrow.

Callan kept staring at the road in happiness and longing, even after she left.

Vetta sat at her bed, feeling like the world was crashing in on her.

The herbs Monah gave her to flush out her own womb laid in front of her, she couldn’t stop staring at them. The pain in her lower abdomen was insistent, but she ignored it too.

Tears of anger, sadness, and rage-filled her eyes. How can something like this happen to her?

She wants to bear the King’s child and hear she is…unable to bear a child at all. Why did she flush that dirty Karandy’s child?

If she knew something like this would happen, she would have pinned that child at Lucien. Anything to have that man all to herself…! Anything at all!

Hot tears fell from her eyes. She has been crying all afternoon while the world crashed around her.

Why will nothing favor her? Absolutely nothing!

Getting up from the bed, she walked to the window and gazed out of it. Her visions remained blurry, tears wouldn’t stop leaving her eyes.

And when they did, her eyes caught a sight.

King Lucien and Danika were walking together. They were taking the woods.

They are going for an evening walk, Vetta realized in sheer misery and anguish.

Her eyes zeroed in on their faces. Danika was practically wearing a radiant look on her face. And the King…?

She has never seen him look so…contented. So happy, even if he wasn’t smiling. And her bump?

That baby bump on Danika filled her with a lot of raging emotions.

All of them was a painful sight for her, and it made her cry all the more.
