“What did you mean?” Xena yelled as she knitted her eyes in fear. Her heart raced against her chest. “I heard the king summon the translator man into the hall again, he is in the hall right now. From the information I heard, the king is questioning him concerning the document you submitted” Jeanne explained.“Did the king know that he translated the document on my behalf?” Xena asked.“I don't think so… but I'm not sure” Jeanne replied hurriedly, feeling afraid of what the outcome will be, she wanted to avoid causing her friend problem because of her mistake.Just then, Xena sprang to her bare feet, and she swerved after her threatening gaze left Jeanne's body, giving her a warning stare as she walked toward the door.Jeanne took a deep breath, knowing that Xena was angry at her right now.“Where are you going?” She asked in a silent tone, trying not to make her angry.“Should I stay here with you and wait until the king hates me because of your silly…” Xena stopped and took a deep b

Nneka's stomach giggled excitedly after Daphne informed her of the punishment given to Xena. The excitement was so obvious on her face, making Daphne wonder why she was feeling so joyous about it. Although, since the queen came into the palace, she hadn’t seen her feeling this happy without the input of alcohol. Whenever she’s angry at the king for not acknowledging her presence as his queen, she always turns to alcohol to kill the boredom, anger, and rage in her. Sporadically Daphne wondered why the king was wicked and evil to his women, especially his queen. The citizen is expecting the queen to conceive soon, but as far as she knows, the king hasn’t laid with the queen for the past five months since she entered the palace. The King only gives his precious time to Concubine Xena. She concluded, that seeing Xena getting hurt is enough to make the queen happy now that she was in prison. The realization struck her heart and she understood the reason the queen was thrilled. Sh

Aurora was performing her duties fetching water into the kitchen, she made sure to take along the fetcher with her whenever she went to pour the filled bucket into the jar inside the kitchen. She couldn't forget the experience she had two days ago when someone threw the fetcher into the well just to punish her. She had thought the king would punish her for it. Although the king eventually punished her that day, she knows it isn't because of the fetcher, but because of the man who lied against her. She wanted to punish whoever threw the fetcher into the well, but she hasn't had time to investigate it since she didn't know the perpetrator, likewise, she hasn't had time to rebuke Tira for slapping her, but she sensed Tira knows the person who poured her water away and threw the fetcher into the well. She might take every insult from the king's women, but she can't take insults from slaves, she's born Royal and won't allow circumstances to give her another legacy. Anyway, she was exci

Her features clouded with confusion hearing Alpha Malik, she wondered the kind of person Alpha Malik was. Did he learn how to make a woman cry and how to make them feel happy again? She shook her head, thinking she might have heard him wrongly. “Don't you have anything you want me to do for you?” Alpha Malik uttered, bringing her out from the doubting realm and jumping to the physical realm. “Ehmm. Ehmmmm" She stammered, after the truth glaring at her face, indeed that the all mighty powerful Alpha Malik wanted to fulfill a promise to her. There was prolonged silence after asking for the second time, and the silence was getting on the king's nerves. “If you don't have any request, you can find your way out,” He said with gritted teeth. Aurora's eyes widened knowing she had prolonged her response, unaware to her that she had wasted the king's previous time, the excitement and what she was going to ask the king filled her thoughts, forgetting the king was demanding her request. “

Xena had been pacing up and down the room, she regretted that she fell into Nneka's trap, even after knowing she was a bitch. She clenched her fist in anger wondering why Jeanne hadn't come and checked up on her, naturally, she should blame her, but she couldn't since she knew Jeanne never wanted all this to happen to her. The shuffling footsteps coming closer to the prison made a smile brush her face, she was confident that Jeanne was the one coming. Truly, it was Jeanne, she stopped at the entrance, and one guard looked up at him “You aren't permitted to come here,” The guard said to her, following the king's order. The King ordered the guard not to allow Jeanne to enter the prison, he wanted Xena to reflect on her mistakes and errors. Xena is someone the king cares so much for, he can't forget how she stood with his mother in times of difficulty, protecting her from becoming a monster is his duty. He had known that the Palace was a place where people can easily turn into mon
