The air was thick with steam and the scent of roasted meat, herbs, and smoke.While shuttling around as I performed my duty, I kept my head low, pretending the rhythm of my work was enough to drown out the voices around me but it wasn’t.They were always whispering and sneering.The moment I was moved to the slave quarters, the news had spread faster than wildfire. The King’s pet had fallen from grace, and the staff wasted no time reminding me of it.“Careful with that tray, Luna,” one of the cooks drawled with fake sweetness, putting extra weight on the title. “You wouldn’t want to get your hands dirty.” Another added and that instant, laughter erupted in the room. I ignored them, wiping the sweat off my brow as I scrubbed a massive pot. My back was aching from hours of standing, but I didn’t stop. If there was one thing I had learned in this place, it was tha
Crystal’s POVThe moment I stepped into the slave quarters, the air changed. It was heavier here and thick with the smell of damp stone, and sweat. As I walked through the corridor, all eyes turned to me. I could feel their sharp, assessing and cruel stares even before I looked up. Thanks to a woman with gray hair that stopped me, I was going to keep walking as I didn't know where I was going. Her presence demanded respect or rather, obedience.“You must be the new slave I was informed of,” she said, her tone flat. It was clear she knew me before now but chose to feign ignorance. “Crystal,” I said, trying to sound calm.She didn’t act like I had spoken to her. Instead, her eyes moved from my face to my hands and then to my feet. It was as if she was inspecting a broken piece of furniture. “Crystal,” she repeated, tasting the name like it was bitter. “You’re the King’s… former favorite, I heard.”I didn’t answer but she didn't mind, she continued her welcome speech. “Names don’t
Crystal’s POVConfidence; I never thought I had that in me anymore. Not after all that had been happening in my life recently."You think you have a choice here?" One of the elders yelled, slamming his fist against the table. “If you must know, we are acting on that King’s order." He yelled again and for a flicker of a second, I felt the air leaving my lungs. Shaking my head in disbelief, I tried to speak but I was tongue tied. When I couldn't bear the humiliation anymore, I made a detour and soon I was grabbing the handle of the large oak doors.No one tried to stop me so I stormed out of the council hall fuming like a beast on rampage. My rage didn’t give me the luxury of caring about the stares that were burning into my back as I stormed away. My heart was pounding so loudly that it drowned out the world around me. My palms were cold, clammy and I didn’t even realize I was shaking until I reached the end of the hallway.Xavier ordered it; that was the only thing that kept repla
Crystal’s POVThe morning air was colder than usual. It pressed against my skin, seeping through the thin fabric of my dress as I stepped out into the corridor. The silence of the palace had become familiar but today, something felt different. The quiet wasn’t just silence, it was tension filled, like the world itself was holding its breath.“Xavier." I mumbled, looking over my shoulder to check if he was stalking me but he was nowhere to be found. “If you want to help me, stay away from me." This was his response and I swear, I felt it. If only I had the courage, I would have pressed further but the look in his eyes made my stomach twist. I was still thinking about what happened as I walked down the corridor. Biting my pinky finger, I turned a corner and nearly collided with someone.“Oh! I’m sorry…” I began, only to stop short when I looked up.She was stunning. I mean, the lady standing right in front of me was tall, poised and her beauty was out of the world. It was the kind
