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
CHAPTER 44: Prince Michael opened the door and walked in, the light illuminated the room as his eyes sought for the probably sleeping slave on his bed, but what he saw, wasn’t what he expected.Era wasn’t on the bed, she was, seated on the chair, where he usually wrote on his scrolls and her head was placed on the table, her eyes closed but he knew she was awake and he knew that she had sensed his presence already. He could see the dried up tears on he4r cheeks and knew instantly she had been sobbing quietly.Just then, Era rose up from the chair and cleaned her face bowing her head, waiting for his command. Good, she was becoming obedient like a slave. She didn’t wait for him to usher any order so it meant one thing.She was prepared to face whatever happened to her this night. He stared all over her, his eyes crawling through her skins like hands. Era shivered under the scrutiny. His eyes, never changed even after the inspection.Prince Michael forced his eyes from her as he went
CHAPTER 43: FROM GRACE TO GRASSAfter Michelle, had been successfully taken away, and they were back in the palace, Prince Michael had asked that the guards leave Dan and him alone in the cabinet and go fetch the slave princess from the mines and dropped her in his room. He would deal with her, but first he wanted to deal with Dan.Dan fell on his knees, his head bowed to the ground as he waited for the punishment form his prince. Was it going to be mere whipping, or death. He knew death wasn’t out of the question, one who turned his back on the ruler was already a tyrant and the punishment was banishment or death.Prince Michael went back and sat down on his father’s throne, and stared down at Dan. So many emotions rushed through him, that he wasn’t sure what he felt most, anger or disappointment.He paused, he couldn’t afford to talk harshly, his father once drilled in his ears, never to make a decision while he was angry, because he would live to regret it. This was his best friend
CHAPTER 42: A TRIP TO THE TEMPLEAmin shook her head as she watched the struggles of the slave, who was unconscious at the moment. She was fighting an internal battle and from the looks of it, she was barely winning. There was nothing she could do for her at this stage. Luckily she was able to repair her physical wounds, especially around her private parts. The slave had a lot of bruises from her vagina. She knew the prince must have gone hard on her, even though she wasn’t well. That had led to her collapse.She knew this slave wouldn’t survive very long in the hands of the prince. It had barely been a week since she was brought out of her solitary in the dungeons and Era had almost died twice. She wasn’t even fighting to stay alive, she wanted to die.During her relapses as Amin treated Era, the latter had begged her to let her die, to end her sufferings and pain. That she couldn’t do it anymore, but Amin had just given her an herb to take which took her back to the dreamland as she
CHAPTER 41: A NEW PUZZLE TO THE MYSTERYIt was a smooth ride as Ambrosia looked through the windows as the chariot sauntered through town, she could see the market women clearing the pathway for them. She looked back at Michael who was lost in thoughts.She frowned, what could be making the king so angry? Slowly slipping her hands in between the prince’s fingers. She smiled as the king glanced at her, and tightened the hold.Ambrosia, does anything troubles your mind? He said in his low deep voice as Ambrosia replied stroking his hand,My prince, it should be I who should be asking you this question. You are the one with the burden, you don’t look happy. How can I help you, my prince?Don’t worry about it, it is just a typical day in the throne room, and its usual problems, I am fine. He said, as he looked out the window signaling the end of the conversation.Ambrosia sighed deeply. She didn’t like when the prince kept something from her. They were supposed to be transparent with each
CHAPTER 40: FIGHTING HIS DEMONSThe whole royal cabinet was as calm as a sea before the storm, you could even hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at the Prince who was shocked at what he had just heard.Excuse me, I must have blood in my ears. Did I hear correctly that you want me to release the traitor Michelle from prison, because she is your daughter. King Michael said as Mrs. Danni fell to her knees, and bowed her head crying.Your royal highness, please have mercy on me and Michelle. Forgive us for our utterances, I can’t bear to see her in that state. She is like a daughter to me, please my prince. Have mercy. Mrs. Danni cried loudly as the other kings and ministers watched the unfolding scenery, going on between the prince and the old woman.They were at a loss to what was going on. Why would the prince lock up someone’s daughter? What wrong was committed? The kings were murmuring as Prince Michael raised an eyebrow looking at the kings and contemplation on the best way to tackle
CHAPTER 39Prince Michael has a dreamless night which was surprising because every night, he was usually tormented by Gadreel. What the hell had happened. Wincing, he opened his eyes as he tried to remember what had happened yesterday night. He looked at his body and saw that he was naked underneath the sheets. He had never slept without changing to the night robe. He looked at the side but didn’t see Era beside him, and the side felt cold which only meant one thing. The slave didn’t sleep the night with him. Good she is getting good at the slave life.Era had been gone since the last night. He pushed the thoughts of her down his mind as he stood up and made his way to the bathroom to have his showers. After he would deal with Michelle and Era. He had already deled with Dan.Ambrosia was waiting for him outside with smiles on her face when the prince came out of the chambers already dressed in his princely garments.My prince, good morning. She said curtsying with broad smiles, as Mic
CHAPTER 38: ONCE UPON A PRINCESS…OR TWOYou have been a very bad princess, Eretria Davilline Cone. The voice said as Era whimpered, as she hid in the cupboard. Right now, she was a child, barely 10 years old as she ran away from her angry father.Gadreel was ruthless, and angry. He carried the whip in his hands as he walked around her room slowly taunting the princess. He knew where she was hiding. He could hear the pants and the little whimpers she made, which led him directly to where she was but he decided to prolong her suffering.So bad that you know what I will do, I will remove all your clothes and whip you bare, until you scream like the scared terrified child, I know you to be and you won’t ever disobey me ever again. King Gadreel completed as he opened the wardrobe and pulled an already crying Era from there and threw her on the bed before proceeding to whip her.As the first lash landed on her body and she screamed in a high pitched voice, Era woke up suddenly as she could
CHAPTER 37SKIP THE SMUT SCENE***Era was breathless as the orgasms that had overtook her and carried her to a place of high ecstasy soon left her. it was mind-blowing, she knew sex was good, but she didn’t know that it was going to be this good. Era couldn’t believe what she heard, but she knew what she felt. Her insides were on fire. The prince had certainly worked a number on her and she knew it wasn’t out of passion, it was anger. His words came back to her as clear as crystal."You, from this moment belongs to me and only me. He said it with spite. He meant it, as someone holding a captive. But in a way it made her happy. She won’t be assaulted by other men again and certainly not by Cassidy. Although it was worse, she hated the way her skin crawled when she was assaulted by Cassidy. Anger rose up in her as she pushed down that humiliating thought of Cassidy down in her deepest cell, in her mind.She looked at the prince beside her. with his eyes closed, he looked calm and peacef
CHAPTER 36: FROM GRACE TO GRASSAfter Michelle, had been successfully taken away, and they were back in the palace, Prince Michael had asked that the guards leave Dan and him alone in the cabinet and go fetch the slave princess from the mines and dropped her in his room. He would deal with her, but first he wanted to deal with Dan.Dan fell on his knees, his head bowed to the ground as he waited for the punishment form his prince. Was it going to be mere whipping, or death. He knew death wasn’t out of the question, one who turned his back on the ruler was already a tyrant and the punishment was banishment or death.Prince Michael went back and sat down on his father’s throne, and stared down at Dan. So many emotions rushed through him, that he wasn’t sure what he felt most, anger or disappointment.He paused, he couldn’t afford to talk harshly, his father once drilled in his ears, never to make a decision while he was angry, because he would live to regret it.
