The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 78

When the guards came to take Danika in the late evening, panic filled her.

She’d dreaded this moment all day she had been unable to do anything at all. They would torture her now. Hurt her for being Cone’s daughter.

“No…! No…! Please, just leave my princess alone!” Sally cried to the guards as they took Danika’s hand.

Danika’s only happiness was that Remeta wasn’t around to witness this, she is at the backyard watching the maids play the moonlight game.

At least, Remeta isn’t here. This would have traumatized her further.

As Sally cried and pleaded, they took her away from their room.

But as they walked, they didn’t take the turn that leads out of the Royal Quarters. Instead, they walked her the long hallway that separated her bedroom with the King’s Chambers.

When the guards came to take Danika in the late evening, panic filled her.

One of them opened the door and walked Danika into the king’s room.

“I brought her, Court Lady.” The guard addressed Madam Baski.

She nodded and told the guards to leave. They all left. Danika took a peak at the mistress who stood bes

she’s a stranger.

She raised her chin, refusing to feel shame at all. He didn’t have to block her part but he did! It’s his fault.

“The king is unwell” Baski continued, “We have to give him the time he needs to recover. He needs peace and quietness.”

“We can all settle our differences when he’s better again and we shouldn’t disrespect him by shouting and fighting in his chambers.” She stared pointedly at Vetta.

She did duck her head in shame then.

Baski turned to Danika who’s attention was completely focused on the king and she was still running the wet cloth down his cheek. Her touch was so gentle, it’s obvious she’s deliberately doing her best not to hurt him.

Baski watched the rise and fall of the King’s chest. He looks more relaxed that he’s been all day.

“Danika.” She called.

Danika turned towards her, “Yes, Madam Baski.”

“I’m leaving the king in your care. Take good care of him. I’ll come in to check up on him as much as possible but he needs rest now, and we will all leave him to you.”
