SERAFINAMy heart was pounding in my chest. The weight of anticipation settled upon my shoulders, knowing that this meeting held immense significance for me and my future.As I stepped into the opulent chamber, the air felt heavy with a sense of authority and power. The room seemed to expand before me, adorned with luxurious furnishings and intricate tapestries that whispered tales of history. The flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows across the walls, adding an air of mystique to the atmosphere.With every step, the sound of my own footsteps echoed through the chamber, amplifying the nerves that coursed through my veins. I approached the grand desk where King Zahir sat, his regal presence emanating a sense of both strength and wisdom.I lowered myself into a graceful bow, my eyes respectfully fixed on the polished marble floor. "Your Majesty," I spoke, my voice steady but laced with a touch of nervousness, "I greet you with utmost respect and reverence."As I straightened, my g

SERAFINA I swallowed hard, my confusion mounting as King Zahir's words hung in the air. "I... I'm sorry, Your Majesty," I stammered, my voice tinged with uncertainty. "I don't understand what you mean."His piercing gaze bore into mine, a glimmer of annoyance dancing in his eyes. "I observed you dozing off repeatedly," he remarked, his tone laced with a hint of intrigue. "Surely, if you were truly asleep, you would not have been grinding the ink with such fatigue and dozing off repeatedl."A surge of realization washed over me, and I felt a mixture of relief and embarrassment. It seemed that my attempts to hide my brief moments of slumber had not gone unnoticed by the astute king. He had keenly observed my struggle to stay awake, deciphering the truth behind my weariness."I... I apologize, Your Majesty," I stammered, my voice laced with humility. "I did experience a momentary lapse of wakefulness, but I endeavored to fulfill my duties despite it. I assure you, my commitment to servi

74–SERAFINA

SERAFINA "Serafina," she said, her voice low and tense, "if you ever get caught, you need to be prepared. You need to know what's coming."I frowned, confused and a little scared. "What do you mean?" I asked.Dahlia took a deep breath, then spoke in a rushed, urgent whisper. "If you get caught breaking a rule, or doing anything you're not supposed to do...they'll punish you. And the punishment is terrible."I swallowed hard, my heart pounding in my chest. "What kind of punishment?" I asked again.Dahlia looked away, as if she couldn't bear to meet my eyes. "You'll have to walk on gravel," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "For hours. Until the skin on your knees is raw and bleeding. And then, when you finally collapse from exhaustion, the slave trainers will decide if you've suffered enough. If not...they'll keep going. Until they're satisfied."My heart pounded in her chest as Dahlia's threat echoed in her ears. Fear coursed through my veins, but I summoned the courage to

SERAFINAAs the weight of the accusation hung heavily in the air, my mind raced to make sense of the situation. How could herbs be found in my corner when I had used them all? Doubt crept in, clouding my thoughts with confusion and disbelief. I couldn't fathom how this could happen, how I could be framed for a crime I did not commit.In the depths of my thoughts, I recalled the meticulous care I had taken in using every last bit of those herbs, ensuring not a trace remained. Yet here I stood, facing the scornful gaze of Hera, who wasted no time in belittling me.Her words cut through the silence like a knife. "Do you think you're still a princess, Serafina? That you can waltz in and out of this palace as you please?" Hera's voice dripped with condescension, her disdain evident in every syllable.Anger flared within me, mingling with the frustration and confusion. I clenched my fists, struggling to keep my composure in the face of her scornful accusation.But beneath the anger, a flick

SERAFINAWith every step, my body jerked forward as the guards yanked me through the labyrinthine corridors of the palace. Their grips tightened around my arms, their fingers digging into my flesh, as if determined to ensure my compliance. The air was thick with tension, an undercurrent of anticipation running through the palace walls. Word had spread like wildfire— the former Princess Serafina, the disobedient slave, was about to face her punishment.As we emerged from the dimly lit corridors, the grandeur of the palace's central arena stretched out before me. The sight was chilling. The vast space was teeming with slaves, gathered in hushed anticipation. They stood shoulder to shoulder, their eyes fixed on the center of the arena, where my fate awaited.The sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow over the scene below. The vibrant colors of banners and tapestries fluttered in the gentle breeze, creating a stark contrast to the solemnity of the moment. The arena, typically a p

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVESERAFINAAs my eyelids fluttered open, I was immediately greeted by a throbbing ache in my head. The sharp pain pulsed through my temples, as if a thousand drums were beating a chaotic rhythm inside my skull. I winced, trying to orient myself in the dimly lit surroundings.As my eyes adjusted to the gloom, I realized that I was no longer in the arena, surrounded by the prying eyes of the other slaves. Instead, I found myself confined within the confines of a small, dank cell. The putrid stench of dampness and decay hung heavy in the air, assaulting my senses and making my stomach churn.I shifted my gaze downwards, my heart sinking as I caught sight of my peled knees. The wounds that had been inflicted upon them during my agonizing crawl were far worse than I had imagined. Deep, raw gashes crisscrossed the delicate skin, oozing a mixture of blood and dirt. The sight alone made bile rise in my throat, threatening to escape in a wave of nausea.The pain that radiat

SERAFINA Dahlia rolled her eyes at my promise, "You always tell me you'd stay out of trouble, Serafina, but the next moment you're diving into a wildfire of trouble!" The old woman remarked, her hands clipped to the sides of her waist. I chuckled as I chewed on the bread, "I give you my word this time, I'll stay out of trouble." I spoke, lowering my eyes to my badly bruised knees and my smile faltered, fizzling away as my lips spread into a thin line. "I promise." I added, conceiving within my heart that I would avoid anything that would grant me such pain in this palace. "Alright, princess. I'll take your word for it." She said, prompting on a small smile and giving me a pat on the shoulder. "You should eat up quickly. I have a surprise for you." She added, her smile broadening into a cheeky grin. It was contagious and I found out I was grinning in anticipation as well, "What's it about, Dahlia?" I asked. Nothing interesting ever happened in the palace—well, to me that is—so I wa

SERAFINA "Alright now, Serafina, let's leave this place." Dahlia said as she turned, facing the metal bars as she pushed them open. I followed behind her, the tray of empty plates in my hands. She paused, crinkling her nose in disgust. "It stinks in here.” She remarked and pinched shut her nose, I chuckled in response as I trailed after her. The place did indeed smell, but it was the prisons – of course it would smell. I paid no attention to the smell as shortly after, we were already out of the cells and walking down the hallway in the direction of Dahlia's room. Again, she led the path as she hummed a tune and I was left in my thoughts. What exactly did she have in store for me? I was promised a life of torment and hell in this palace, so having 'surprises' given to me was what I least expected. Could it be from Zahir? I immediately mentally face–palmed myself at that time thought; what would make Zahir want to give me a gift? He practically hated my existence. Although, I

SERAFINA"Prince Arie sent me a letter?" I asked, rising from the stool as I wasn't able to believe what my eyes had just seen. I looked at the inked inscription on top of the scroll – it was from Prince Arie. I was seeing correctly. I took a step further to Dahlia, "H–how were you able to — how was he able to get the letter to you? Did the King allow him to send letters to me? I–i don't even know what to say." I rambled out the series of confused questions and all Dahlia did was laugh, I arched my brows in confusion as I wondered what was so amusing to her. "Calm down now, Serafina. I'll explain. Just sit down and don't get too anxious." She said, her laugh calming down to just a chuckle. I did as she said and sat down, the lrtter still clutched in my hand. "Alright, you're lucky I was the one who received this letter. Should I not have been at the gates early this morning and another person recieved this, you would have never gotten it." She stated. "The King has a strong policy
