UNEXPECTED HELPImmediately the royal doctor left, Era gulped in fear, she didn’t know who the royal doctor was, but from the look of astonishment that the other guy, had on his face, implied that the doctor was someone of great importance and yet she had been reduced to nothing before the prince in a twinkling of eye. Then, what would the prince do to her then.Apparently she was going to work as a slave. She remembered what the royal doctor said? She was at the threshold of death. So that her dream was not really a dream, but she was brought back just to suffer more. Why on earth would the prince ordered for her treatment, if all he wanted to do, was to kill her. She was already dying, he should have left her die and rest.As if the prince was reading her mind, he walked towards her, pulled her up, by her collar and brought her closer to his face, saying“Don’t think, I care about you. the only reason why I even wanted you alive, is because I wanted you to suffer slowly and more pa
A DAY IN THE MINES“How did you know that? Era asked looking at Amber who shook her head, slowly.“Sometimes you amaze me, everyone hates you for what your father did to you, so in case you didn’t notice, you are famous here. But don’t worry, I don’t hate you, that much. Amber said holding her hand.“Uhm, thank you, but why don’t you hate me? The king-my father abused all of you, and treated you as slave. Why help me out? Era asked confused as Amber handed her dried meat from the bag.I don’t hate people for the crimes, their parents committed. I believe that everyone should be held accountable for the crimes, they committed themselves, and you, well didn’t commit any crime, am I right?Possibly, but the prince…Yes, I know that the prince, heir apparent to the throne hates you, collared you and promised to make sure that you suffer, but hey, your dad kind of killed his pregnant mother, father and he couldn’t even find his little sister, so of course he will want revenge. But I know m
CASSIDYThe mines were the dirtiest place, one could even think of going to, it was filled with coal, coal, and more coal. But the people there were happy, whistling as they mined away, their hammers and pickaxes making a rhythmic sound. Amber and Era made it through as they all paused looking at her with hatred.Era could see and feel the eyes and the hatred they all had looking at her and shielded a bit closer to Amber to feel a bit safe, as she led them to where the slave master was.Cassidy was a man of many things. Slave master, torture expert, gambler, drunk, and worst of all a pervert, in short he was just like the king of Dun Brock, only thing separating the both was the title, and that Cassidy was a much younger man, than the king.Era gulped as she saw the way the man was staring at her cleverage, he didn’t even have the decency to be discreet about it, and how his hand quickly flew to his bulge massaging it as he eyed her licking her lips. Clearly anyone could see the lust
TAKING A STANDAs Era was being dragged by the miner, she saw none of her people there, only the lower class citizens of the Northern Isles. What did the prince do to her people? Did he enslave them? Or left them there? Alone with no ruler? That would be pure chaos.She started down, the steps leading to the deepest part, of the mines, as all eyes were on her. Despite being a slave, Royalty radiated off her.“Let her dig the new tunnel alone. That is what Cassidy said. The miner said to the people who gathered.“So this is the princess huh? She will be working among us? I am surprised to still see her alive, after that disgrace, you had at parade. Are we permitted to touch her Aaron? One of the men asked as Era gulped inwardly but refused to show that she was scared. She wasn’t going to let this people frighten her. They were humans like her, surely she could stand her ground.‘Why don’t you touch me and we will see what the prince has to say about that? After all, the rumors going ar
THE BIG DAYPrince Michael spent almost an hour underneath in the tub, undergoing his ritual. It was common for all royalty to be able to breathe underwater for a long time in case of any circumstance. It was trained for all kids, but when he got kidnapped, he stopped, doing it. Hell they didn’t even bathe well during his slavery. Now he wanted to make sure, he still got the ability.His mind was flooded with pictures of his parent’s death, his sister’s disappearance to him being taken captive as a slave and forced to undergo several hardships, and to the moment, he collared the princess. He tried to shut his demons off, but couldn’t making it harder for him, to breathe. He needed oxygen so he was trying to get out of the water. But he felt being held by the hand, his both hands and legs. He wasn’t alone. He quickly surged his face up, before dragging the one next to him, prepared to send the intruder to his grave, when he heard a squeak. It sounded feminine.Opening, his eyes. He sa
GUILTY CONSCIENCE FEW DAYS AGOLater that day, Michelle sat at the ground beside, Mrs. Danni foot massaging it with her hands as she slowly dipped it in hot water at intervals. She was quiet, moody, lost in thoughts. She couldn’t hear anything that the kind old lady was saying. She was not angry because she was massaging her feet, no! she felt grateful doing that for the old woman, but she couldn’t stop thinking about her Eretria.Her scream still rings loudly in her ears; she couldn’t shut it down. Her princess was being tortured, her princess needed her, she couldn’t believe that she forgot all about her, whatWould the princess think about her? She abandoned her to her own fate. She hated herself at that moment.Michelle could feel the tears slipping from her eyes and dropping on the feet of Mrs. Danni, that was busy knitting but she didn’t even clean it. There was no need to anyways. It would just keep pouring out. Mrs. Danni lo
THE BIG DECISION“She’s family, to me. She is family to me. Michelle said over and over again, sobbing loudly as she laid prostrate on the floor. Mrs. Danni was moved by her tears and begun to feel compassion for her too, as her eyes became teary-eyed. This reminded her so much of when her daughter, who died out of pregnancy complications. Her daughter was taken as a slave alongside her, and she did everything when they were captured, even to the extent of sleeping with all the guards she came across, so that she wouldn’t be separated from her. She had prostrated the same way, Michelle was currently doing, crying begging them, and it broke her heart.And now, seeing this again, reminded her so much of her daughter, so she couldn’t help but feel pain too. Sniffling, Mrs. Danni went across the chair, and pulled Michelle up from the floor and said,Seeing you talk about the princess this way, has shown me, that you truly believe she is a good person. I do not know of this princess perso
KEEP BURNING BRIGHTLYAt last, the slaves of the Southern Isles finally made it to the kingdom of the Northern Isles, after numerous days of walking. The slaves were all exhausted as they collapsed on the road, as the soldiers guarding the border met up, with the soldiers who were returning from the Southern Isles.“Finally, you guys are here. Don’t you know that the kings from other kingdoms just arrived. We need these slaves to be there, during introduction so that they can be sold. Your heads were so going to roll, after today if the prince had asked for the troops, and you haven’t returned.” The general said as the captain bowed his head, saying“Forgive me, we decided to let the slaves rest for a little while in between breaks, and due to the fact that we carried a lot of slaves, including old people, we had to go at a slow pace, has the prince asked about us yet?” The captain said, with his heart in his throat.“Not yet, get the slaves to the dungeons, and tell the maids to pr
