Cassia’s Pov

He chuckled darkly before replying, “I’m going to need more than that information to act, Cassia.”

“What would you even do? ‘Reprimand him,’ your grace?” In turn, he would find me and do as promised, and you won’t even open an investigation for my disappearance.

“You are more than welcome to watch what I’ll do, but I doubt you’d be able to stomach it.” I could hear the excitement in his voice. He would punish his own soldier for... a slave?

“I’m lucky to be alive, your grace. People get seriously punished or die from being ‘rude’ or saying ‘no’.”

He sighed before replying softly, i almost missed it, “People, Cassia. Not you.. never you.”

I didn’t say anything to that. I won’t let him and his words sway me.

“Permit me to take my leave, your grace. I have more chores to do.” The broken shelves and scattered books won’t clean themselves.

“No. Sit.” He jerked his head toward the couch.

I refused. “I have a lot to do, your majesty. Please let me go.”

  • Hybrid King: A Royal Affair    Chapter 32

    Cassia’s pov“Exactly what I thought when I heard this case. This is about to get so much fun.”He murmured the last sentence, but I caught it.What was he planning now?“Why would two servant girls be so stupid as to put their lives in danger just to return to the palace that they were desperately running from?” he asked rhetorically, continuing, “Especially when they know the punishment for runaways is really brutal.” He shook his head.“Doesn’t make sense.”A few seconds of silence passed before Landon gave a firm nod to the king’s gaze, and the doors were flung open. A soldier dragged two men across the floor by their hair, leaving a trail of blood in their wake.It looked painful enough for me to pity them, but after he dropped them roughly, I looked closely and recognized the men.The idiots who had been working with Erin at the market.But why were they bleeding? Supernaturals—especially vampires—healed faster.Except... they were given substances to slow that ability.The king

    Cassia’s POV “For this disciplinary hearing, remember all your courtesy training and put it to use.” A maiden addressed Diane and me as we stood before the courtroom door. “Don’t give them a chance to vent their frustrations on you.” With that, she left. “She makes it sound like we’re walking to our doom,” Diane whispered, glancing at the two soldiers guarding the imposing double doors, intricately carved with the kingdom's crest. My peaceful morning sleep in the maiden room of the king’s quarters had been abruptly interrupted, and now my heart raced at the thought of what might happen if Erin had prepared better and the people believed him. Diane’s presence was reassuring. We gasped in unison as the soldiers suddenly straightened and pulled open the doors, clearly signaling us to enter. Gripping each other’s hands for support, we stepped forward slowly. I couldn’t resist glancing around, marveling at the grandeur of the hall. Despite the intimidating supernatural faces, everyt

    Cassia’s POV “You’re in a towel?” Sienna exclaimed, finally looking at me. Then she glanced around. “In the king’s room?!”I clutched the towel tightly, feeling nervous, and quickly closed the door.“What’s going on?” Diane asked again, looking like a scared drenched cat—her hair was wet.“I should be asking you guys the same,” I shot back. “You look like you were plucked from your bath and dragged here.”Diane nodded. “Kind of. Sienna rushed in and told me we had to hurry to the king’s quarters. He ordered us to come and keep you company.”“I thought it was some sort of joke when the guard told me, but alas! They let us through the entrance.” Sienna walked around cautiously, her eyes mesmerized by the wall art.“Well to answer your earlier question,” I said as I walked back to the bathroom, “I’m not allowed to leave here… for three days.” I couldn’t help but giggle a little. “Come with me. He isn’t here until evening,” I added when I saw the fear and confusion in their eyes.“You’re

    Cassia’s POV “But I already told you! It was a plan to enter the palace!” I pleaded with the guards who dragged Diane and me to a plank to be tied and whipped for ‘slandering’ the king.“And out of all the ideas, you decided that was the best?” He continued ignoring my pleas as he tied us up.He ordered his second, “Bring the whip!”My blood ran cold, and my heart beat like it was going to leave my body and run.We were finally on the palace grounds, but in the dungeon, far from the living areas. There’s no way the king would even be causally strolling nearby to intercede.“We didn’t foresee this one,” Diane muttered defeatedly next to me.“I don’t want to be whipped by that monstrous thing.” I wiggled like crazy when I spotted the scary-looking whip. Only their sickening laughter filled the air, making my stomach churn.I clenched my fists, expecting the pain, but—“I don’t remember ordering for the runaways to be beaten now, did I?”The king! My relief lasted for a moment before I

    Cassia’s POV “I don’t think anyone is home,” I whispered to Diane as she tried using a long stick to knock apples from a tree in the heat of noon. “Still keep looking out,” she mumbled, focused on the task. We were sneaking into a compound that possibly belonged to a supernatural to get some of their juicy-looking apples from the tree, but it seemed like no one was home. I looked around, and save for distant barking, everything seemed alright. “Got it!” She exclaimed. I turned to see three apples on the ground. I rushed to pick them up, ignoring my rumbling tummy, and told her to get some more. Who knows how long we’d go before seeing another opportunity like this? “But why do they have a long stick next to their tree? Are supernaturals not able to jump high or even fly?” I hugged the apples to my chest. “Or they could be elite humans,” she replied, still hitting some fruits. “Lucky bast—Cassia! Run!” She suddenly screamed my name, and i turned to see it, A huge black dog charg

    Cassia’s POVI counted with my fingers: three, two, one—ignoring her head shake that discouraged me from my audacious plan. I pulled her with me, bumping into the weak door and immediately running like our behinds were on fire.I had checked this door earlier and seen that it led to a busy side of the market. People bumping into each other and the colorful noise was a perfect blend of chaos but not for long.“Cassia, what—” Diane tried to say something, but I pressed a finger to my mouth, signaling her to wait.He was probably right on our tail. Our voices and scents could make it easy for him to find us, so I whispered to her,“Do you remember the way to the cart?”This side of the market was completely different and confusing. She shook her head.Okay, think, Cassia.It wasn’t long, half walking and running through the crowd, before we spotted a little hill at the end of the market and took the turn. Thankfully, it led us to a small stream. I looked around quickly before speaking, “
