His other wives

When Laura opened her eyes and faced the ceiling, for a moment felt that she is home! In her own magnificent chamber wit golden stuff and huge windows which she could enjoy the view of the royal garden and almost whole of the village.

A few seconds later she noticed that she was in the cosy little room, it does not even belong to her! a place that someone felt petty for her and let her stay for a few hours! Soon she had to go out and face her new life.

Sat upon the bed rubbed her forehead. At this moment, Hanna got in with a proud smile on her face. As she was playing with a golden necklace on her neck, Laura gave her a friendly smile as she got up from her bed, Hannah smirked and sat on a chair, took off the necklace and put it in the little box, as she noticed that Laura was watching her the whole time coughed and said with a slight smirk on her face.

Hanna" what is it Laura? You can't stare at the queen all the time" she raises an eyebrow proudly as she was reminding Laura her place in southern court!

Laura nodded in embarrassment " yeah, I thought, what made you so happy."

Hanna smirked as she stood up in front of Laura with mockery expression on her face.

Hanna " king gave me a necklace as you can see! I'm still her favourite" she raised an eyebrow to add" also I used to call you, your grace when you where queen, now I deserve to be called that! You don't think so?" She smirked half teasingly.

Laura nodded" of course, But that wouldn't make you a queen, you know that right?" She replied as she regrets to say that immediately.

Hanna chuckled " yeah right but still I want to be called that, actually if I remember right, you weren't queen as well! Oh, Laura, please forget your past life!" She patted on Laura's arm as Laura was looking at her with no particular expression.

Hanna turned to the door" come. I want to show you harem."

She walked out of the door as Laura was following her out.

The king's harem was a long hall with corridors on either side of it. In each corridor, a group of women were sitting and talking. Seeing Hannah and her companions, all the women became silent and stood up as they came out of the corridors. Hanna looked at the women of the harem and said as he walked proudly.

Hanna " I'm here to introduce you the new wife of the king, Laura of house Barren. Respect her as she was a queen long time ago, and I dare anyone who tries to bully her or be rude toward her, she is under my protection, still, teach her how to be one of us and all our traditions in front of the royal family and the king himself!"

Hanna was choosing her words wisely, as she was passing through all corridors so everyone could hear her loud and clear!

When Hanna finished with her speech, Laura walked toward her, stood by her side, Hanna showed her the last corridor.

Hanna " you will stay here until you gain your place in better corridors or even gain a room" she winked at her playfully.

Laura knew she cant seduce a king or anyone!she was a proud woman all her life! How she could bow to someone now! It wasn't possible to get out of that hole! she couldn't get any promotions due to her lack of ability and desire to seduce the king!she never thought someday she had to gain her place by sleeping with a man!

Laura "Oh god if Robyn were here he wouldn't stop laughing at me!" she thoughts as she stepped into the smelly and small corridor, Hanna smiled at her"If you be wise you will get out of here so soon" she winked at her walked out.

As Hanna walked out, Laura got lonely and sad. All girls got back to their corridors, ignoring her, no one even glanced at her!

A few hours later a woman got in and called Laura, everyone looked at her, and the woman in surprise!cause this woman only showed up when someone was in trouble or king's sister wants to warn her about her attitude!

Laura stood up and followed the woman out; she was a middle-aged woman with a fat shape and a skin much darker than Laura's she was leading Laura onto somewhere which she had no clue where was it!

Laura " where are we going?" asked in a low tone.

Woman " you don't ask here!you obey."

She snapped as she reached to a massive wooden door and let her in.

Laura got into the room which was full of expensive stuff she could tell this was the largest room in this castle!

A woman sat proudly on a rug above the room as two women were fixing her hair and nails, she was a beautiful woman, with a bunch of maids, but Laura felt no one likes her.

Laura stood in front of her with no expression in her face.

Princess frowned " no one told you that you have to bow to the royal family?" she snapped.

Laura bowed immediately as she hated herself at that moment!

Princess " I heard about my brother's new marriage; you are the widow with seven sons?"

Laura nodded managed to say" Yes..." she paused tried hard to add" ...Your..grace, I have seven sons and one bastard who is a boy as well" she confessed looked down at her feet.

Princess pulled away from her then which the maid was doing her nails and stared at Laura.

Princess" so you will give my brother a son, or you are too old to do that?"

Laura doubted about it; she didn't know if she was capable of giving birth to anyone! Laura was alive only till Kat soul let her! and she didn't think it would allow her to give birth to a child or not! But she was scared of her position and nodded as soon as she heard the offer.

Princess " you do know if you cant do it, I will hang you at the middle of the harem myself?" it was apparent she wasn't joking, as she looked directly in Laura's eyes with nothing but disgust. Laura nodded, fight her tears back in her eyes.

Laura " don't worry your grace, I would give the king a son."

Princess nodded "You will go to his chamber tonight. I hope you can do this or.." she stopped talking and pointed at the woman who brought Laura to take her out. Laura followed her out as she was trembling in anger and a little bit of fear.

At night the fat woman came in again and took Laura to the king's room, where Hamo was waiting for her to enter. Laura looked at him anxiously, there was a wooden table next to the room, and And there was a large bed in the middle, and the walls were decorated with large paintings of the king.and his beloved sister.

King " so? Did my sister tell you about your duty?

Laura " of giving you a son?"

King raised an eyebrow "dose a woman has another duty?" he smirked,

Laura wanted to punch him to death, but it was too soon she forgot to get her robe with herself so just nodded politely.as the king led her to the bed and sat beside her.

Hamo " give me a son Laura, the most powerful son in the world, a boy with your beauty and my power!" he said as he kissed her.

Laura giggled into a kiss and smirked and thought " you have power?really?' she kissed him back and hoped to give him a son from all of her heart.
