A figure in the darkAlthough Jeanne's mood was not affected by Xena's speech, the word lingered in her mind. For the past three years, she hasn't been in any relationship, sometimes she wished she were among the king's concubines.Although the king doesn't touch his concubines still she prefers him than the isolation from man for the rest of her life, at least she would know she has a husband.Occasionally she wondered if the romantic novel she had been reading had made any impact on her relationship life, she knows different ways to make a man stay committed or love you, but still, men used to leave her.Moving closer to the king's chamber, her gaze fell on Evans, he was stretching his hands, he was a tall and huge man, and his uniform was long trousers short with his shirt, making his six-pack revealed as he stretched his hands, Jeanne's mouth patted in awe at the sight that greeted her.It was late, his eyes were gradually closing and he yawned slightly. His lips looked a bit exha
Hiding figure.King Malik walked hastily towards the place he hung out with the masked girl last night, getting nearer to her, he halted and adjusted his clothes, he tried to put on a smiling face.Malik is the kind of man that doesn't smile, his face is scarce of a smile. He tried smiling, but it looked awkward, his mirror self mocked him inwardly."Why are you trying to impress the girl?" His subconscious asked."I'm not trying to impress her, I just don't intend to scare her with my furious gaze, since she complained about it," Malik replied in his head."Oh, I see! Then why didn't you smile with your ministers earlier, she complained that everyone feared you?" He asked again."I can't smile with those fools, not after I discovered how they have been treating my people unfairly," King Malik replied."Are you confident? Cause it seems you want to impress her,""Keep shut, I won't smile in her presence again since you want it that way," Malik replied, he shut off his conscience and h
She wondered, who was trailing after her, she couldn't afford to be disclosed, and it seemed the person was after her identity, she halted, waiting to see if the person will continue to walk towards her, just as she anticipated, the person stopped from taking her next step too. She must find a way out of this since she's about to be exposed. “She can't be exposed” Her eyes traveled around, hoping to find an escape route from the tight situation right now, Malik won't hesitate to butcher her head If he found out her fake identity. Aurora imagined the look Malik will have on his face if he found out about it. The thought alone sent shivers to Aurora's core. “Gosh, I need to find a way out of this,” she mumbled inwardly, as she fell into thought, hoping for a solution to pop into her mind. Additionally, Morena advised ranged in her head, echoing. Maybe one of the king's wives is the one trailing after me', Malik mustn't know she is the one pretending to be the masked girl, he won't he
Boldly, fear was inscribed on the faces of the maids as they walked Xena's chamber. Their nervous heartbeat could be heard loudly, as they were getting closer to Xena's chamber, they were panicking, hoping they will come out safe from Xena's chamber. The palace female maids had three rooms sequentially, they were divided into rooms, with ten maids in each room, Aurora and Shastina shared the same room, making both of them plunge as a victim. Shastina tried imagining what could cause the urgent summons. “What did you think we did wrong this time?” One of the maids let out, her heart throbbing as she stared at Xena's chamber afar, she was one of Mira's minions. “I don't know, I just hope it won't be something serious,” She replied Many of the maids inhaled and exhaled as they reached the entrance, no one among them wanted to press the doorbell, they were afraid of announcing their presence, shastina was at the back watching how the other's maids were pushing one another to the front
Xena waved her hands to Shastina to stop her confession. She heard approaching footsteps, her eyes swerved to the entrance of the dungeon expecting to sight a human coming in.“Your highness,” She said slightly, as Nneka's presence was revealed, she was seething with anger. She ignored the greetings.“What did you think you were doing? You brought the maids to the dungeon without my permission. You stopped them from performing their early morning responsibilities, did you want to wash and sweep in place of them?,” Nneka said cockily. She isn't the type that pretends whenever she's angry. She showed her true colors whenever she does.“Must I remind you, am responsible for the palace activities? You must take permission from me before you take any action,” she added in a stern tone.Where Xena stood, she was boiling with anger, she rubbed her two hands, trying to calm her nerves.“I'm the king's favorite concubine, your highness. I love to do whatever I want to do, moreover, the maids h
“Comes in,” The king's voice runs to her ear from the inside, her eyes traveling to her boobs, she expands the uncovered of her cleavage, opening more of her uncovered breasts.A chuckled sign on her face, as she pushed the door open.“My king,” Xena greeted the king and lowered her head.A sickening silence filled the room, the king didn't utter a word to acknowledge her presence. After a while, she raised her brows, wanting to confirm what the king was doing that made him refuse to acknowledge her.Just as she wanted to open her mouth, the king's voice interrupted, halting her throat from producing her creation.“Why are you here?” Alpha Malik's eyes left the documents in his hand, and rested on Xena, burning a hole in Xena's spine, with the unwelcome expression he held. “My king, I…,” She stammered, not knowing what to say, the expression on the king's face disorganized her, she could no longer deliver a good sentence.The king got tired of her silence, and he slipped down from t
“What for?” Jeanne asked as she raised the document in her hand, looking into Lena's for an answer. She furrowed her brows, when Xena kept mute, putting her into silence. “Xena, am I waiting for your explanation,” “The king needs a translator that can translate French into our language,” She replied in a curt. “Okay, how did you want to see a French translator? Since you can't possibly ask the queen to help, she is the only one that can read French, being a princess,” Jeanne said. “Not the Queen, the king thinks one of the maids might know how to read French,” Xena said, and Jeanne burst into laughter. “Why are you laughing?” Xena said, giving her a questioning look. “Why would the king think those wackos would be able to read the French language? They can't even read our mother language, Jeanne said, smiling. “Don't forget you could have been one of them, the wackos I hadn't taught you how to read our language,” Xena said bluntly. Instantly, Jeanne's smile seized, she couldn
Aurora stood beside a well, drawing water, the rope of the fetcher was too short, making it hard for her to pull out water easily.She sighed and cleaned the sweat beads forming on her forehead, just as she pulled out the last water, making the two buckets fill up.Sometimes, she pitied the people who were born slaves, whenever she worked tirelessly. She had been fetching water to all the concubine chambers since morning, Malik ordered Morena to make her fill all the concubine jars, including the king's chamber.She lowered, carried off the buckets, and placed them on her head, wanting to shift her concentration to the king's chamber. Likewise, she felt someone peeping at her. She gazed around, hoping to find the shadow creating fear in her.After meeting with failure, she let go of the thought and the feeling that someone was peeking at her, and she walked away.Just as she left, Mira came out of her hiding, she walked towards the well, and with a grin plastered on her face, she kick
