The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 38

“Snap out of it, Danika! Sally would never want you this way at all! You have to be strong for her!” Baski said as the walked out of the passage that divided the palace from the Royal Court.

As she talked, they saw Chad. Baski left Danika and ran towards him, she relayed the King’s message.

Chad’s eyes darkened and his hand fisted tightly at his side as Baski quickly run him through everything that happened.

He walked past them and started towards the route of the Royal Court. That was the only thing that snapped Danika out of her trance.

She turned and started running after him, determined to go with him. She has to see Sally, she just has to!

Baski didn’t waste time trying to stop her. Instead, they all followed Chad.

There’s another way that leads to the inner room without having to go through the hall of the court.

Chad led them through that way, withdrawing a huge bunch of key from the key chain at his side, he sorted through the keys and singled out one small key, he used it to open the door.

They rushed inside, and there Sally laid on the table.

She was naked and laid spread out at the table, in the pool of her own b***d. They were cuts and bruises on some parts of her body, her face was wet, her eyes closed.

Danika stuck her hand into her mouth and let out a muffled scream at the horrible sight of Sally.

Chad walked closer and gently lifted her into his arms. He turned towards the door and stopped short when her weak arms suddenly tightened around his neck.

Sally’s eyes opened ever so slightly and found her princess. And then, it closed again.

“She opened her eyes!” Danika gasped, a rare hint of hope rearing it’s head in her hurting heart.

She turned teary eyes at Baski who’s wide eyes indicated that she saw it too. Baski rushed towards Chad and gently took Sally’s hand into her, she pressed her finger on her wrist.

“She’s alive…barely, but she’s alive!” She gasped.

Chad started carrying her away in hurried steps but he was careful not to jarr her, Baski grabbed Danika’s hand and they followed him.

Danika swiped the tears from her eyes with her free hand, even as more fell. She willed herself to be strong. She has to be strong for Sally! She has to!

Why would Sally do something like this? Why did she have to do this!? It hurts her immensely.

Chad held Sally with so much care even at a point when he was almost running. Her b***d coated his body and she’s floating on that little bridge that separated life and death.

“Take her to the underground room, I’ll get three trusted maids to run some errands to start some treatments on her. I’ll rush to Danika’s room, there must be a little piece of Orchiz Seed there. We need to stop those bleeding first and hope to the heavens that she hasn’t lost so much.” Baski said, already walking away.

Danika followed Chad to the underground room, one of the secret places of the palace only a few people know about, and fewer are allowed to go.

Danika took the keys from him and sorted through them following his instructions, she singled out a key and opened the door.

Chad carried Sally to the bed, which surprisingly isn’t dusty from unused. The room though almost empty and barren, looks clean and kept.

Danika rushed to the table and took the cloth she saw lying around, she tore it to several pieces and rushed back to Sally. She used each piece to tie her cuts in an effort to stop the bleedings first.

“S-Sally…you can’t l-leave me do you hear me?” She cried as she worked. Her hands trembled badly but she managed to get things done.

Chad walked to the wardrobe and sorted through it. He dragged out a big bedsheets he used to cover Sally’s naked body.

Baski came back with two maids behind her. They turned pale when they saw Sally, one of them teared up immediately.

Baski had some stems in her hands which she started grinding immediately she entered. “I already sent out Uyah to the house of the Royal Medicine Man. He’ll be here in a little while.”

Danika raised teary eyes to her face. “Wouldn’t the king mind? We do all t-these without his permission or order.” She sniffled.

“Let’s hope to heavens he doesn’t mind and if he does, we get punished but it doesn’t matter…” her eyes went to Sally, “…we would have saved her already….if we’re able to.”

Danika nodded, staring at her Sally who’s eyes were closed, her face pale and swollen. She leaned closer and kissed Sally’s forehead, her tears splashing on her.

Why would Sally do something like this? Why did she have to do this!? It hurts her immensely.

“You have to stay a-alive, Sally. You have to tell me why you did this… Just why did you make a d-decision like this without telling your princess about it? Why… Why… Why would you do this to me?” Danika wept.

The maids watched her with surprise in their eyes. But, she’s oblivious of the world around her. Just her and Sally.

She sniffled softly and kissed her forehead again. “I can’t bear it if you leave….Sally, please d-don’t leave.”

She wondered how she’ll bear it if anything happens to anything happens to the only bright thing in this world she found herself in?

She placed her forehead to Sally’s and her shoulders shook with the force of her weeping.

Vetta stayed in her bedroom, boiling over in anger. It’s been hell staying here for three noon days. She counted the time until she’s able to get out.

It’s like being in jail, the things she knows are only the things the maids that bring food tell her. Her anger calmed a bit and a smile spread over her face.

Today is the Mask Festival, and according to the maid, there was another introduction for Danika.

How she wished that she had her freedom….she never wanted to miss all the excitement of watching Danika’s humiliation and degradation.

It pained her on a different level that she wasn’t able to witness it at all. Instead, she was holed up in her room like some dog!

Calm down, Vetta. You’ll be out tomorrow.

The reminder from her mind made her feel a little better. She needed to know all the gory details of everything that happened today.

She stared out of her window, unable to sleep. She wished the king would visit her…even if it’s for s****l pleasure. Hell, especially for s****l pleasure.

She’d missed it. She’d missed him. She’d missed everything.

He didn’t visit, not even once. And she wondered who’s been warming his bed?

She gritted her teeth at the thought of Danika in his bed…or on his table. Just the thought of that slave anywhere around him is enough to boil her anger.

Aaargh! She hated being in the dark! Hated it badly!
