The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 265

“The throne is empty now, Master. Why don’t we attack it?” Talia asked her master suggestively.

His cave seems cold tonight. Don’t he get tired of hiding in here?

Coza turned and glanced at her. She isn’t saying what he has not considered already. “That will be a bad idea. I sent one of my men to go and spy already. He reported that the throne is heavily guarded by his most trusted men even in his absence.”

“But, we can fight them—”

“Dargak, Zariel and Chad. These three men are the most formidable warriors, we don’t just wake up and go against them without much preparations. Lucien was able to conquer Mombana and kill King Cone because he has them in his army.”he paused, “Lucien is an unbeatable, formidable warrior, but he wouldn’t have been able to do it on his own.”

“So, what are we going to do? Mombana is no longer a problem because the Mistress will take care of the Queen.”

“Yes,” he smirked at the taught of Vetta. “One of her best virtues is her impatience, hatred and short-temperedness. On the day after tomorrow, my this time, Danika will be dead. I can hardly wait.”

“So, what about Salem?”

“I have a plan. A job for you.”

“What is it, Master?”

“I want you to poison the Lucien, Chad, Zariel and Dargak.” He ordered firmly, “Your main priority is Lucien and Zariel. Their death will handicap the Kingdom. Then, we go in.”

Just thinking about the deadly mission sent shivers down Talia’s spine. “That will be suicide.”

His gaze pinned hers, he arched his brows. “Your point?”

Of course, her life don’t matter. She swallowed.

He took pity at her, smiling. “Don’t worry much, Talia. If you do the job well, it will be a success. Unlike the Mistress, I have patience. You can take your time finding the perfect opportunity to get this done. But you MUST get it done, and do it at once. If they die one after another, it will rose suspicion.”

She bowed, “As you wish, Master.”

The smile disappeared from his face. “I want him dead, Talia.”

“I will do my best, Master.” She turned to leave.

“One more thing.”

She turned to face him.

His eyes met hers again. “Vetta must NEVER EVER find out about this. Never. Am I clear?”

“Yes, Master.”

“I heard your words to him. Lord Rainydale. You told him your heart belongs to another man. Your heart belongs to the father of your child… repeatedly.”

“Yes.” She whispered.

“It calmed me down, more than anything else.” he paused, “I wanted nothing more than to deal with that man when I heard from a maid that he is in your bedroom. Baski was over the moon when she saw me. Like you, she thought I wasn’t real at first.”

She opened her eyes, staring at the shoot star in the sky. “I never imagined that you will come here to Mombana.”

“Sadly, I have to be back in Salem on the morrow. My throne is unprotected. Granted, Zariel and Dargak are on guard—and they are most trusted, but My throne is still empty, the Kingdom vulnerable.” He g*****d.

“So, why did you come?” She whispered.

Silence descended. It stretched.

“I couldn’t keep away any longer, no matter how hard I tried.”

She sighed. “Our time together is so short.” Sadness filled her but she pushed it away, “So, why don’t we make the most of it? Let us forget that the world exists outside this bedroom and make the most of this night?”

“Okay.” He did not hesitate. Instead, he kissed her neck again, his strong hand caressing the swell of her belly.

She swiveled her head and beamed at him. “Okay.”

“You have been on your feet for too long. Does it hurt?”

She hesitated, “Yes.” she let out admittedly, “My back does too. And my waist. I feel hot no matter how cold the night is.”

“You should have been asleep.”

“I had so much so my mind… in addition to the aches and heat, I couldn’t sleep. But you are here now…I can finally throw the worries away, bury the pains and give up authority, even if it is just for tonight.”

Then, he lifted her off her feet so effortlessly and into his arms for the second time tonight.

“I am here now, I will take over everything. Guards.” His voice rose a bit, without taking his eyes off her.

A knock came to the door, but he had locked it so the guard cannot enter. “Your Highness?” The guard responded from the door.

“Make sure Lord Waterbird is already on his way back to his home. He is no longer welcomed to spend the night here in the palace.” He stated firmly.

“Oh…” The guard hesitated because he has not heard from the Queen of Mombana.

King Lucien arched his brow wordlessly at the woman he carried in his arms.

“I order it too, Omna.” She called out breathlessly.

“As you wish, Your Majesties!”

“And Omna?” King Lucien.

“Yes, Your Highness?”

“Tell the guards to guard the Queen’s door from the entrance of the Royal Quarters tonight. Not from this door.” He ordered.

A fierce blush crept up the Queen’s cheeks and spread down to her neck. “I o-order it too, Omna.”

“As you wish, Your Majesties!!” Footsteps hurried away filled the air.

And then, blessed Silence.

“I will take good care of you tonight.” his eyes lowered to her swollen belly, “I will take good care of the two of you.”

As much as this night will hurt on the morrow, Queen Danika beamed at him again, her smile so wide, it made her beautiful face radiant. “Okay.”

Her smile is so contagious, the King wasn’t aware that his face is doing something it hasn’t done in the past fifteen years of his life.

His lips stretched—not as wide as hers—but enough for the onlooker to recognize it for the smile it is.

“Okay.” Then, he carried her towards the bathroom.
