The king started forward. "To the bed."

She nodded, relieved that it's the bed but at the same time scared out of her mind

She knows what he's capable of doing to her and just the thought of it had panic closing down her throat

She climbed on it and gave him her back. She closed her eyes tight and started a silent prayer to the Creator in her mind. She was so scared, her body shaking.

The ruffle of clothes was heard, then he came up behind her. She was liquid underneath from the session, and hi

    "The king is waiting," one of the older maids said to her.Her eyes found her bangle on the nightstand. The gold glistening bangle screamed royalty and it was priceless. She had the urge to wear it.You're no longer a princess, Seraphine.She looked away from the jewel, got up, and walked out of the dressing room towards the King’s Chambers.When she got to his bedroom, a guard out there informed her that the king was not in his bedroom at the moment. He’s in the bedroom at the end of the hallway.She thanked the guard and started down the hallway.At the door, her heart was already beating out of her chest. She knocked once and waited."Come in." The deep voice she hadn’t heard in three noon days came through.She opened the door and entered the unfamiliar room. She took a brief look around:A big bed in the center of the room, an old flower in a flower pot at the window, a wooden lantern on the nightstand.The room screamed royalty, but it also screamed barrenness. Obviously, someon

    She was walking through the back of the palace when a hand suddenly shot out and pulled at her.It startled her so much, her mouth opened to scream but a deep voice cut her off."Don't make a sound or you'll regret it." Tavren snapped at her.Seraphine snapped her mouth shut. The man was holding her tight from behind and he was hurting her wounded back. She bit her lips hard.He dragged her to an isolated part of the palace, entered a small store, and locked the door."You've been a very bad bitch, haven't you? What did you keep doing for the chief maid that makes her give you days off repeatedly?" He snarled at her.Seraphine swallowed the fear she was feeling at being alone with him. Instead, she stared the slave trainer square in the face, "I don't know what you're talking about.""You think me stupid? You stupid curt."He started stalking closer to her, backing her to the wall and closing the distance between them, he wrapped his hand into her hair and yanked it back sharply."I'v

    Briella has gone to the mines too. Left alone, Seraphine needed some fresh air outdoors.She got up and slipped her legs into her sandals. She looked around. Her room looked beautiful because of the way Briella decorated it.She smiled, taking in the new features. The fresh flowers. The lightbulbs. The new floor carpets. Already, she was counting the minutes before Briella came back again.She walked out of the palace and took a first visit to the library where she spent a good number of hours.It was afternoon by the time she got back into the palace and strode towards the garden of the palace. She was staring at the flowers with fascination when her back prickled.Someone was watching her.She looked behind her and stared up. There she stood at the window, staring at her with eyes filled with so much loathing. Lysera, the king's mistress.The woman was still holed up in her room and, from the look on her face, Seraphine could see that Lysera was not happy about that at all.In fact,

    Briella started ahead too, even as she still talked. "That's the Rose?""That's the Rose""Oh, it's so beautiful, my princess!" She slidded aside and gently plucked the flowers out. Two long beautiful and fresh-looking Rose flowersShe perforated her hair with the piece of flower and clicked up at Seraphine with a smile. "How do I look, my princess!?"With the flower stuck in one side of her black hair, Briella looked more beautiful...more child-like. "You look beautiful, Briella."She flushed under the compliment. Then, she started closer to Seraphine and placed the remaining flower on her hair. "There. You look so beautiful.""Thank you," Seraphine said to her with a smile.Then, they continued their journey to the village. They went in search of a library.The people frowned and murmured whenever they see Seraphine, but they smile and wave at Briella who smiles and waves right back.Used to the antagonism, Seraphine just bows her head slightly to any elder she passes and continues

    "There are rumors that the King punished the wicked mistress Lysera for whipping you," Briella whispered.That was shocking. The most shocking she's heard. "What?"Briella pulled back and continued in a whisper. "There's a rumor that the king placed her under house arrest for three noondays."A thrill of pleasure shot through Seraphine's body at the knowledge. She must be a bad person for being happy but she couldn't help it.Three days without having to see Mistress Lysera are days to look ahead to, even though her back hurts and she still has to work, she's still happy."I was so happy when I heard it, my princess! I'm really happy about it," Briella enthused excitedly."I'm happy to hear it too, Briella," Seraphine finally admitted.Seraphine just finished taking her bath, getting ready to go to the mines. Her body really hurts badly and she'll give anything not to have to work today.But then again, she doesn't want to allow herself to dwell on things she can't change. Briella ha

    When King Draven spoke, his words were curt and straight to the point."Make sure she doesn't work for so many days to come, Maela. Send out orders to the maids, slaves, servants, and slave trainers both in the palace and in the mine sites, that all of them should stay out of her way. If I find out she worked, the person responsible will be punished.""Yes, my king." Maela wasn't really surprised. It's just like the night he'd visited the girl in her bedroom. He'd given orders just like this...only lesser."That girl Briella," he paused, "these orders extend to her too. At least for today.""I understand, My King."Just like that day, he pinned her with a glare. "I don't need feedback, Maela. I don't care. Make sure you don't bring them.""Of course, My Lord."He nodded once. "You're dismissed."Seraphine did her best to remember the events of last night clearly as she walked to her room, but it was all blurry conversation.She was really curious about them and she doesn't know why.
