The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 57

Danika and Sally was oblivious of the eyes the townspeople gave them as they strode to Baski’s place.

As usual, they were in the world of their own. Danika supported Sally’s walk most of the time, because Sally is still recovering. She easily gets winded when she walks too much.

They rest with every few moments. At a point, Danika started urging Sally to enter her back, so she’ll piggyback her.

“Never.” Sally was adamant when she refused. She wouldn’t even hear of it.

“Sally. I don’t want you to get more hurt because—“

“I’ll be fine, my princess. I can’t get on your back, you’re my princess and I’m…” she was look so horrified, she shook her head, “…it’s never happening.”

Danika stared at the stubborn tilt of her chin and took a deep breath. “You’re my best friend now, Sally. You’re no a maid and I’m not a princess. We’re slaves and best of friends.”

“You can never be a slave to me, My Princess.” She stated firmly.

“Sally… Just let me piggyback you.”

“Never.” she paused and smiled mischievously, “I can piggyback you if you’re tired though.”

Danika pursed her lips in disapproval and talked to her some more but Sally refused. She gave up. They started walking again.

The people that passed them during that moment witnessed the argument and it surprised them. They watched Cone’s daughter and her former personal maid bicker like close friends and it stuns them.

Privileged people never has such relationship with lowborns….no matter what. So, as they watched the two women, they didn’t know what to make of it.

Sally and Danika finally arrived at the door of Baski’s house. They knocked.

The door opened and Baski stood behind the door, looking flustered. Her hair was a mess and a little b***d perched on her cheek, looking like a scratch wound.

“What are you both doing here?” She asked, her voice stiff. She seems not to be in a friendly mode.

Sally shifted uncomfortably on her feet. “Uhm… We wanted to come for herbs. You know…my wounds. And eeh…my princess, she also needs some too.”

“You both can come back later, I’m quite bus—“

A high-pitched scream rang out from inside the house that started Danika and Sally, but Baski didn’t react at all because she’s used to it.

Another scream came. And another. And another.

“What’s happening to her?” Sally asked, horrified. Even as she edged back to Danika, her heart was reaching out to Remeta.

Baski shrugged. “It’s food. She doesn’t want to eat, it’s normal. Don’t think much on it.”

Danika watched her. The woman did her best to sound so unaffected, but she would have sworn that the older woman is very much close to tears. Her shoulders was so stiff, her back ramrod straight in defense.

“Look, you both should go back to the palace. I’ll be there in the evening and I’ll make the herbs. Or you can go over to the medicine man’s hou—“

Another scream came again.

Danika stepped forward. “Please, Baski. Let us in.

“Why?” Baski glared at her with so much hate in her eyes, she almost took a step back. “The ones your father did, isn’t it enough? Why do you want in? So you can inflict more damage?”

She flinched. Danika understands the woman’s anger so she couldn’t stay anything. She lowered her head in shame and guilt.

Sally stepped forward. “Please, Madam Baski. You can take all the time you need inside with Remeta while we wait for you at the sitting room, we wouldn’t mind. Just let us in…”

Baski opened her mouth to say something else, but the sound of a glass breaking inside followed by another scream had her eyes widening with horror.

She whirled around and started hurrying into the house. “She’ll cut herself again….!”

The door was opened, so Danika and Sally followed behind her. They followed her to the bedroom at the sound of another scream, but they remained at the door.

The bedroom looked like a warzone. Clothes were scattered, chairs fallen, mirror broken, glass cup shattered on the floor, bedsheets lying on the floor. Remeta was nowhere within sight.

“Meta? Please come out and eat.” Baski said in a thin voice, looking around. Her eyes searching…

Silence met her request.

“Please?” She pleaded. The woman looked dangerously close to tears.

She kept saying the word ‘please’, it was tearing at Danika’s heart as they stood by the door watching….waiting.

Finally, a dirty blond hair slowly stuck her head out from behind the wardrobe. She took a peak at her mother.

“I’m not hungry…” She whispered, her voice hoarse from screaming. No one can see Remeta’s face because her hair covered it all up.

Baski shook her head miserably. “You’ve not eaten in three days, Meta. Please!?”

The girl let out an empty laughter. “I’ve gone five days without food several times. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten.”

“I’ve not forgotten. How can I forget?” Baski blinked back tears.

Danika shifted uncomfortably at her feet. It’s so obvious that they referred to their time enslaved.

“But we’re no longer in slavery. You have to try and eat, you look like bones.” Baski urged on.

The girl shook her head vigorously. She started scratching her wild dirty blond hair. “I can’t, I can’t. No food, no bed. No food no bed, no food no bed, no food no bed, no food no bed.”

As she started reciting those words, Baski really did burst out crying. “Oh, Remeta…what am I going to do with you?”

The girl kept on reciting those words, obviously withdrawing into herself, trapped in another world.

Baski turn and walked past them out of the room. Danika blinked back tears as she followed her, but Sally was openingly weeping unable to control herself.

“What does she mean by ‘no food, no bed’?” Danika couldn’t help asking.

She turned and her eyes held Danika’s. “Cone feeds her very well before he takes pleasure from her body on the bed. It could be Cone, it could be any guard, it doesn’t matter. Most times they feed slaves before s*x because they laugh about the fact that they don’t want to s€x an animal only to release into it’s corpse.”

“Oh, Creator…!” Danika could no longer hold her tears. That is so inhuman.

Everyday, there is more reason for her to hate her father. How can he ever do things like this? How can he be so much of a monster?
