(Slave To The Royals π§)
𧑠EFUA KELECHI’S POV π§‘
Two weeks has passed and every night they do the same thing, pack us all to the market square, defile and burn one of us until there are not more than fifteen of us again. Once in a while they give us water and bread to keep us alive for their pleasures. Each night we live in fear of who is next, could it be me or maybe you?
I wish to die, end this suffering once and for all but I do not want my death to be that way, so I decide to escape. A stupid decision but the only alternative to allowing them take away my dignity and then burn me alive.
The evening sun was already going down when the three guards came as usual to unlock our cell, I shifted to the back as the other girls filed out and when I was the only one left, I came out and watch them close the door. I then turn back to them and spit on one of them’s eyes same time as I knee the second one in his member. With their shout of pain, I find my opportunity.. I push through them and start to run.
“Get her! Get her now!”
My legs are hurting because even the blade wound has not been healed but what to do.. A girl’s gotta leave. I know the third one will soon start chasing me so I keep running trying nor to look back. I swiftly dash to my right side and I press myself against the wall hoping he had not seen me take the turn.
The sigh that escapes my lip when I see him run straight past is that of relief. He would soon be back, I have to leave here.. I look around and my eyes catch a window a little bit above me..
I have to climb and get into that room… Whoever I would meet there won’t be as bad as the guards who are looking for me right?
Well that’s how I got here.
.
“You are naked” I tell the strange man whose room I have broken into.
“What!” He looks down and looks back at me. He waves his finger at me. “Look away lady.. Don’t look” he says frantically and runs back into the bathroom when he finally comes back outside he has a robe on his body and the big brush that was on his hands before has been dropped.
I wrap my hands around my body and come out of the wardrobe. The man steps back. “Dont step any closer until you tell me who you are” he says and i gulp and stand without moving.
𧑠AXUM ROYAL’S POV π§‘
“What! You lost one of the prisoners! The only one left from Aza at that! You incompetent fools!” Axum thunders making the guards standing at his front recoil in fear.
“We will find her your Majesty, we will comb through all the palace grounds and the kingdom at large” one of the guards whose name is Ovon says quietly.
“You better do! Because if you don’t, I will make sure I have your heads, bastards. Now leave!”
“Yes your Majesty” they reply and hurry outside leaving Axum fuming in fits of rage.
“I think you should calm down Axum.. They will surely find her, none of your subjects will want to harbor a stranger in their midst especially one from Aza” Ihome, the queen tries to reassure him from her position beside him.
“You should go back to your chambers and resume your duties Ihome, do not interfere with mine” Axum says.
“Yes Your Majesty” Ihome stands and curtsies before walking away.
“Uza!” Axum calls one of his standing guards and the latter come running.
Uza bows. “Yes Your Majesty”
“You will go to the prisoners yard and have them taken into the dungeon, let them be fed three times a week and none of them should be taken out except by my order”
Uza bows in curtsey and leaves his presence to carry out the order.
𧑠LOTANNA ROYAL’S POV π§‘
It is when she stands still that I have a thorough look of her. Her eyes her sunken and her hair is disheveled, even her clothed are tattered in different places and it looks as if her bones her shooting out from her body.
“Hey tell me, who are you? You dont look like someone that would break into a room without a reason” I state and she bits her lips. I gasp when I see blood start to drip from the lips.
“Oh shit… Are you okay?” She looks at me and then slowly sink down to the floor.
What the hell! I’m supposed to be cautios of this lady but seeing her looking helpless on the floor with blood dripping from her lip has my sense of reasoning flying out through the window.
I grab her and gently lift her up and lay her on the bed. Gosh! Her weight is close to nothing, just like that of a feather. It is as if she has been intentionally starved for a while. She tries to talk but I shake my head. “Dont say a word just go on and rest okay”
“Please… Dont tell anyone I am here.. They will kill me” she mutters and I find myself nodding to her absurd request.
But then.. What is she talking about? Who will kill her?
