Chapter 38: 38: New Developments

Lilac

My heart instantly lurched with fright. This sick monster that almost raped me that night , but after discovering that I wasn’t a girl, he ordered for me to be beaten and then thrown into where the beast was being kept in.

The beast being his grandson, the crowned prince.

I hastily averted my gaze, but I knew it was too late because he had definitely recognized me. I had cut off my long hair, but it didn’t make much difference, my face was still the same after all.

As I walked down the hall, my heart was heavy with fear and I kept expecting him to call me back, but he didn’t. However, I noticed the moment recognition then shock crossed his face, and I just already knew that he’d send for me soon.

Fuck.

Could my life get any worse?

As I exited the Prince’s wing, the guards stationed outside still didn’t give me any problems and once again, I was awed. But as I walked towards the Slave quarters, I began to come up with an explanation that would sound believable enough because I didn’t think they’d have heard of the actual reason. I guess I could just tell them the truth, and that the prince refused to let me leave till this morning.

A long sigh escaped my lungs as my mind traveled back to the grand king. He was the last person I expected to run into, and I had honestly forgotten of his existence.

Running into him had been genuinely shocking and unexpected.

My chest was tight and my insides were curled tightly with nervousness when I arrived at the slave quarters. As soon as everyone noticed me, they instantly stopped what they were doing to swarm around me. My eyes widened and I grew extremely panicked while wondering if there was something I did wrong without realizing.

However, they all began to speak at once.

"Are you fucking the crowned prince?"

"Are you his little fuck toy?"

"We heard you were in his bed when breakfast was served and you were stark naked! Is that true?"

"Mellisa said she saw you riding the prince this morning!"

"You fucking fag, how are you letting a fellow male touch you in that manner?"

"All twinks are the same, they throw themselves at any available cock."

"They’re shameless and always cock hungry. But I honestly thought this newcomer was a virgin. I mean, he certainly looked like one."

"Maybe the prince took his virginity? That’s why he clearly spared his life and let him stay in his room for two freaking days! That has literally never happened before."

Everyone was trying to speak at the same time, and each statement got progressively worse than the previous one. I was beyond perplexed as I tried to wiggle out of the crowd, to no avail.

When a hand clamped over my arm, a scream bubbled in my throat but it instantly died down as soon as I noticed who it was. It was Jake.

He easily shoved through the crowd and was able to get me out, but the crowd followed behind us. I let out a relieved sigh as I glanced up at him.

"Thank you so much,"

"Of course, you’re always welcome. Are you okay?" He asked and I was floored that it was the first question he asked, sounding like he genuinely cared about me.

I nodded, my throat suddenly feeling tight from emotions which I shoved away as I responded.

"Yeah, I am."

He let out a relieved sigh as his eyes looked me over.

"Are you sure? I was really worried after you didn’t return for two freaking days." He continued as we walked in the direction of our dorm.

"I know and I’ll explain everything to you. I promise." I said to him just as a group of slaves came to stand before us, their hands clasped before their chests as they spoke.

"Can you please help us speak to the prince? We heard that you’re his latest fuck toy, so we were wondering if.,,"

They were still speaking when Jake shoved them away and asked them to get lost and I let out a relieved sigh. I had already feared that those people who saw me in the Prince’s bed might say something once they return here, but I never predicted it could ever be to this extent.

I was beyond baffled by most of the things that had already spread around about me and the Prince. And all of the rumors were hilarious in the sense that the Prince never directly touched me.

But who’d believe me if I start saying that?

No one.

So much for blending in and staying on the low.

Just as Jake made to get our door open, a throat cleared behind me and I instantly stiffened. When I slowly turned around, my eyes locked with that of the brown haired guy who had handed me off to lady Iris before leaving a few days ago. The one who was a part of the group of four people that I first saw on waking up after 3 days of being unconscious, after passing out in the beast’s confinement. _{\n(o)v.e\l.com}

"A word?" He spoke evenly, briefly glancing at me before looking over at Jake.

"You’ve been summoned,"

My heartbeat instantly accelerated through the roof.

~~~

I flinched as the door closed behind the brown haired guy and myself. Apparently, the rest of the crew were waiting for me in a room and that’s where the brown haired guy had just brought me to. It wasn’t like I could refuse, because they literally hold my life in their palms.

As I stood in the middle of the large room, right before the four people whom I swore to do whatever they asked of me in exchange for letting me leave, terror swirled around the depth of my chest and stomach. At the back of my mind, I was expecting to be berated, and be told that was already fucking the whole thing up.

However, their leader, the bald headed man who also happens to be the Prince’s butler, walked up to me and clapped me over my shoulder while wearing a very bright smile.

"You’re doing so well, way better than I expected." He gushed out and I blinked slowly as I shifted awkwardly, wanting to be out of here as fast as possible.

"I am?" I asked, feeling unsure and lost.

The bald headed guy nodded enthusiastically and clapped me over the shoulder again. "Yes, human. You are. I had thought it might be impossible to get you close to the Prince." He paused.

"Honestly? I didn’t hold any expectations because the egoistic Prince never likes anyone and like the last people we’ve tried using in this project of ours, the mad Prince had killed them before they could ever get anywhere with him. But you? He was so territorial over you, and so worried about you. That poisoning situation was definitely heaven sent, it literally made everything fall into places."

My heartbeat skyrocketed through the roof as he spoke. He believed the prince was territorial over me...?

"It has?" I blurted.

"That’s right. It’s clear the prince finds you adorable to an extent. It won’t be hard to get him to completely trust and fall in love with you, especially seeing as he could tolerate your natural scent, which makes everything much easier!" One of the women explained this time.

"And now, you’ll get your first mission."
