Chapter 9: Nati's ProtectionIn front of the northern gate, a hooded man dressed in all black sat proudly on his black horse, waiting for someone. He possessed the features of a fine warrior, but his face remained concealed beneath his hood.With a swift movement, he dismounted his horse, landing gracefully on his feet, showcasing his muscular and well-proportioned physique. His broad chest, strong shoulders, and defined arms were on full display. Visible veins ran beneath the skin of his exposed hands. Though he exuded confidence with his straight posture and squared shoulders, his handsome but sickly-looking face gave him an unbalanced appearance as he leaned against his horse for support. This was King Treven of Nayak."Your majesty," the man's lips tightened into a thin line as Valtar, his guard, called out from a distance. Despite Valtar's warrior-like appearance, he looked like a dwarf compared to his master."I asked you not to address me that way until we get back to the palac

Chapter 11- MeisiAnnalise Scoffed but she maintained her natural Aura around the guard. I sighed not liking where all this is leading to one bit but I remained quiet.“ If she must be brought to the palace, where do you think I'm headed to?” Annalise said pointing her fingers at the guard who swallowed shakily.“ Apologies my lady, but this is a direct order from the king. All female strangers must be brought before him” The guard replied looking down at his shoes as he shifted uncomfortably. At this point, I was seeing a whole new persona of Annalise.“ I will take her to him myself so get the hell out of my face, My carriage is waiting,” Annalise said brushing the words of the guard away. I wondered what sort of a relationship she had with the king for everyone to be like this with her. Well, she did mention that she raised him but that doesn't mean she is not a servant of the throne.She grabbed my hand and led me through the gate and my gaze landed on what lies inside Nayak for t

Chapter 13 - Find My Daughter.Her eyes gave nothing as she heard his cold tone. She had just given birth to his son, he should at least show her his warm side. She had thought but his Aura told her she was wrong. Out of all his consorts, she prided herself as the most beautiful, she had a small round face, thinly carved eyebrows, a thin pointed nose, and a set of plum red lips that stood out against her milky White skin. She had fairly big breasts that she wasn't ashamed of flaunting in her sleeveless blouses. Only the queen wears sleeved blouses but there wasn't one yet and that led her to believe she had the right to wear one.She was married into the royal harem at the age of sixteen six years ago, two years after the reign of King Treven as his first royal Consort but he paid her no attention and he hardly visited the harem, he was always busy with affairs of the state or slitting the throats of his enemies and paid no woman any attention. She was the daughter of a noble family

Chapter 15- Three consorts“ Marilyn!” He yelled immediately he entered my Chambers glaring at me with fire in his eyes. I dropped the piece of jewelry in my hands as I stood up from my vanity chair immediately in fear wondering what it was I had done this time around. The rage in his eyes was like a fiery volcano increasing my heartbeat as he stepped closer to me. Yes, another beating, and the worst part? Even if I tried, I wouldn't be able to escape it.*Smack!A slap, hot and loud landed straight on my face. I thought my neck would break from the intensity and was surprised it never did under that much pressure. I wished he would just beat me to death or kill me faster to end all my sufferings but we all don't get our wishes granted, do we? No! And that is why I'm at his mercy. To slap and punch until he gets satisfied.“ You? What did you tell me the last time we made love?!” He dragged me closer to him and shouted in my ears. Oh, I see where all the trouble stemmed from. I had pr

Chapter 17- Petty Wetty Flamingo?.Annalise slept beside me after our conversation because I couldn't go back to sleep alone and so she had to read me a book before she fell asleep herself. I wondered how she could because Nayaki women were illiterates but she. Maybe the king allowed her because of their relationship.She woke up and woke me up so early that I would have dished out a grave punishment if a servant ever tried that with me in the Gattar Manor. Such an ungodly hour to be awake in the morning. The sun wasn't even up yet. The slightly chilly weather did not help at all and I did not want to be separated from the blanket but she forced me up telling me we needed to be at the palace before sunrise. Did we even sleep after our conversation at all? It was still dark and I was very close to throwing tantrums.The two maidens helped undress me as they prepared a bath for me. They even put more effort than the previous day and the water was warmer with a lot of fresh flowers whic
