The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 49

She wondered if he’ll keep seeing her as a respectable girl, or he’ll start seeing her like trash because of what happened?

“You need to exercise those muscles,” Baski went ahead saying, “You need to walk around for some time, everyday. You’ll heal faster.”

“I do want to get some fresh air…” Sally admitted.

“I’ll take you. We’ll go together. But I’m so scared about what will happen…” Danika trailed off in a whisper,saving the rest unsaid.

Baski knew what she was trying to say. She’s scared of what will happen if people find out that Sally was the one that got introduced instead of her.

Baski sent the other maid to go get her a big bowl and the maid left.

“Uyah?’ Baski called.

” Yes, Madam Baski?” The girl said eagerly.

“You care for Sally, right?” Baski asked the girl quietly.

Uyah nodded the blond mass of her head. “So much! Oh, I’m so glad Sally’s alive! I cried myself to sleep last night thinking that she’ll never make it and my conscience was killing me because I helped her dress in the same costume the slave princess wore. I feel so better now that she’s awake! I never want anything to happen to Sally!”

Tears pulled in Uyah’s eyes as she talked passionately, it’s obvious the girl was genuinely upset.

All through yesterday and this morning, Uyah was always so eager to help and they all believe her when she said she doesn’t want any harm on Sally.

“Thank you so much, Uyah. For helping me….” Sally whispered sincerely.

Uyah smiled. “You’re welcome, Sally.”

Baski swivered her head back to Uyah. “I want you to go out and spread the rumor of the introduction, Uyah. Danika was getting introduced by the kings and Sally couldn’t watch anymore, she tried to interfere and the kings got really angry at her, took pleasures from her body and beat her up. They would have killed her for interfering but they decided to have mercy on her.”

She paused and took a deep breath. “The palace workers are all curious about what happened yesterday. I want you to go around and spread this rumor.”

Uyah nodded her head vigorously. “Consider it done, Madam Baski.”

“That’s the only way Sally will be saved.” Baski added to Uyah.

“I’ll make sure everyone hears it, and it’ll trend in the palace. You trust me, Madam Baski. I can spread rumors.” Uyah vowed.

“You can go now, Uyah.” Baski said with a smile.

The girl bowed to them and left.

Tears of gratitude prickled Danika’s eyes. She blinked it back. “We can’t thank you enough, Madam Baski….”

“You can’t. So, maybe you should quit trying.” Baski said reluctantly as she got up with her medicine bag.

She explained that she needed to get home because the nurse she’s paying to take care of Remeta will soon be going back to her home. She needs to go be with her daughter.

They thanked her again and she left.

Chad on the other hand, hasn’t said anything at all. But he seemed satisfying with just watching Sally….seeing for himself that she’s alright.

Finally, he bowed his head slightly at the before he turned and left too.

Sally’s eyes trailed after him worriedly.

Alone again, Danika started feeding Sally. She helped Sally eat and she read more to her as they waited for Uyah to spread the rumor before they can go out.

Hours later. They were still waiting when the King’s guards came to the bedroom and took her. They king requests her presence.

Danika’s heart was in her throat as she followed them. She told Sally that she’ll be back and Sally nodded wholeheartedly.

As they walked Danika wondered why the king might be calling her,her heart in her throat. But as they rounded a corner at the King’s quarters, the sight in front explained why.

Karandy was kneeling in front of the king. King Lucien stood tall several feet away with his hands behind his back, two guards standing behind him.

They got closer and stopped. Danika’s body was shaking inside but she remained cool and collected on the outside. She went down on her knees.

“You called me, Master.” She whispered.

His eyes bored into her. “This slave trainer here is saying that he has never made any s****l moves on you. He went ahead to say that you’ve been throwing yourself at him at every turn. You have been trying to lure him into your bed.”

He let the words hang around them. Danika’s chest was beating faster than usual.

“Is that true?” He asked at last.

“No, Master.” She gulped out. She can practically feel Karandy’s deadly glare on her body.

“How can you defend yourself?”

It was on Danika’s lips to tell him that Sally was there with her on some days the slave trainer made advances at her. But, she couldn’t bring herself to call Sally’s name. She would never to anything that’ll further endanger Sally.

“No, My King. I have no defense.”

Silence ensued. Danika bit the inside of her cheek, worry clawed at her.

“Look at me, Danika.” The command was curt.

She raised her eyes from the ground and her eyes met the king’s. She dropped all her guard to the ground and let him see the stark truth in her eyes.

Karandy will really deal with her after this, especially if he goes unpunished.

The king’s face was unreadable and it only made Danika restless and nervous. She can’t read him. She doesn’t know what’s going through that head of his.

King Lucien cocked his head to the side, “The red handprint on your face yesterday was given by him, am I wrong?”

“You aren’t, my king.” Hope flared inside her.

Shit. Karandy felt like kicking himself.
