Angrily, Xena walked towards Alpha Malik's chamber, on her way she met some maids chattering, and her face fell on a new maid whom she had not noticed her presence since she entered the palace, her name was Shastina.“When did you arrive at the palace?” Xena asked her in an angry tone.Shastina bowed her head deeply instantly, including with the other maids who were chattering, “My name is Shastina your Highness” She said, but Xena noticed, there was no fear in the tone of her voice, the maids always shivered whenever they were in her presence, she expects her to be nervous in her presence, otherwise is the case, and Xena's let out a chuckled.“She's just like Aurora” Xena muttered inwardly, she vividly remembered the first day Aurora was brought into the palace, she was brought to her to examine since she was to become the crown prince maid.Aurora's face gleamed fire just like shastina, and Xena specializes in killing this kind of fire, she has vowed never to allow this kind of fir
The maid gathered waiting patiently for Concubine Xena, she summoned all of them, which made them anxious, who knows why she called us here, was in each one of the maid's minds.The last time this happened, three maids were framed for a sin they didn't commit, it has made them develop cold feet for this kind of meeting.Outside the hall, where they gathered, Aurora was coming likewise since Morena had pleaded on her behalf to let her work as a maid than being kept in the prison, you can make her miserable just as you want-Morena's words towards the king.“Why are you here?” Shastina asked Aurora, giving her a killing stare.“And why are you asking me? I'm a maid just as you are, and for your information, I'm not in the dungeon anymore” Aurora replied her back angrily. She hates the fact that she joined other maids just to mock her.Suddenly, a hot sound of a slap was heard on Aurora's cheeks, Shastina moved towards her intently with her eyes, looking deadly.“Don't make me do what I w
Arriving at Malik's chamber, Evans gently opened the door for Aurora, and she quietly slipped into the chamber. She stepped inside and was welcomed into the darkness, the room was completely dark but warm. She felt a wintry chill lingering in the air, she heard nothing but a soft whistle of wind coming from a tiny crack in the window pane. The sour scent of stale lavender arises from a lonely incent stick in the corner and dances all around her. A taste of decomposing flowers abruptly hits her mouth, as if she’d taken a bite or two of ting rose bush. The room atmosphere was impenetrable, and she stood rooted to the spot, trying to stretch her eyes as wide as possible, but she could barely make out a feeble until her gaze fell on a man laying on the bed, she knew instantly that the man is Alpha Malik. She stood at the spot waiting for his command, she rarely saw his face, since Malik lay on the bed, facing downward on the bed. After a few minutes of a silent ambiance, Malik final
In the morning, the sun is bright, and the sunlight is warm and not harsh.The birds continue to chirp, and the sound echoes in Aurora's ears, which made her know that it is morning already.Aurora's stretched her legs off the mat and onto the floor, her arms raised grazing the ceiling.She opened her eyes, and it dawned on her that she was in Malik's room.Instantly she gazed her eyes to where Malik slept, he was still sleeping soundly, and a smile left her mouth, excited inwardly that he had not woken up.She got out of bed and waltzed into the door, opening the door gently, she found her way out of the room.“Don't tell me you sleep here?” Evans asked her, staring at her from the head to the toe like he was finding a clue.“The King is resting and I can't dare disturb his sleep. Moreover, the king didn't know I was the one who attended to him last night, I think it is better you don't let him know I'm the maid who attended to her last night if he eventually asks of me” Aurora told
Feeling exhausted and tired, Aurora finished her morning work, she was walking toward the maid quarters, to have a quick nap, before going to her second daily work—She was feeling sleepy since she didn't have a good bed rest last night, so she was up until 3:00 am watching her charming king, King Malik.When her body couldn't take it anymore, she slept off around 3:00 am and woke up by 5:00 am, to attend to her morning work.Since Morena pleaded with the king to lift the ban and made her a maid again, they made her do more work than other maids in the palace, ordered by the king.She worked tirelessly every single day, sometimes she ate once a day, or won't eat at all, except if Morena secretly gave her food, which the king had ordered to make life miserable for her.Jericho has been out of the town for a while now, to trade for the community on behalf of the king, which has made the palace a bit comfortable for Aurora, she made sure she didn't show her face in the presence of the ki
Aurora was still kneeling, when Morena entered Concubine Xena's chamber, she beheld Aurora's back with fresh wounds, and blood was sipping down from her back. Morena looked at Concubine Xena with a killing stare. She wondered if she had any human feelings, she hadn't seen a woman as wicked and harsh as Xena before. Morena had a cold stare, that could have killed Xena if it is enough to kill. “What are you doing here?” Xena bought Morena sense back. Morena sighed deeply, trying to suppress her anger, she knew better than her anger cannot do anything. “Your highness, we need Aurora to come and perform her evening duties, she had delayed some of the other maid's duties,", Morena said as humbly as possible. “Hmmm” Xena hummed “I'm not confident, this thing here has enough strength to perform the duties, moreover, she hasn't finished receiving the punishment I had for her”, Xena said, her eyes holding anger, Morena wondered why she hated Aurora this much. “Your highness, Aurora must

Unfold some wrapped herbs, ed them into an oil, and brought out cotton, she inserted the cotton inside the herb mixture and started applying it on Morena's wounds, every of her touched on Aurora's bored reverberated pains in her body, but she didn't make a sound, she suffered the pain inwardly. “You are a human, it is okay to cry sometimes, don't take in the tears that wish to come out, it's more painful” Morena said to her, she knew how much discomfort the herb caused on the injured body, not hearing Aurora's moaning of pain saddened her heart, she saw her as a poor soul, who has been suffering all her life. “I'm okay,” Aurora said with a gritted tooth. “I know you are not, I don't kn
