Chapter 45

Jaysa stood in front of the same man that spoke to her harshly before, but this time she had the priest Joseph with her. She knew the man would have to obey him, if he was not going to obey her. It was so much easier to request to pass through. The guard was not pleased though. Jaysa past the guard, head up in the air to taunt him. She again had another flashback while walking down the stairs. And again she pushed them out of her head. Jaysa was the first that reach to the bottom of the stairs.

"What are you doing here?" There were two men standing at the bottom of the stairs. Before she could speak, Joseph made his way to the bottom and spoke to the man.

"She is here because the King allows it." The guard stayed quiet. Then both men stepped aside allowing the two to pass. Jaysa looked at all the cells in the room. They were still filled with frightened women. Jaysa walked over to one of the cells and kneeled down, looking at the woman.

"Are you okay?" The woman did not respond, but instead scurried to the other side of the cell trying to stay out of her sight. Jaysa stood up and looked over at the guard.

Did you or your men touch these women?" Jaysa asked the guards. One of the men huffed.

"What's it up to you?" The same man that questioned her on the way down snorted.

"Answer me!" She demanded. He then scowled.

"Why do you care? You should be happy that you're riding the King's cock all the time." The man laughed. One of the other guards walked over to Jaysa and touched her face. He had dark black hair and brown eyes. He had facial hair that was nicely cut. He spoke to Jaysa.

"I know that all women are truly sluts. They love to serve many men at once. We can help you with that." He grabbed Jaysa by her waist and bought her closer to him. He rubbed his half hard on onto the side of Jaysa's waists.

"Get off me!" Jaysa yelled as she tried to push the man away.

"Oh, come on. We know you're not a virgin. You fucked the King already and we all know it." He spoke as he continued to rub against her.

"I told you to let me go!" She yelled again. The man grabbed her chin and pulled her into a kiss. She did not want this disgusting man kissing her. The young Queen turned her face away from the man and his lips. He grabbed her face ready to pull her into another kiss. Jaysa closed her eyes shut as well as her lips. The hand that was holding her face had let go. She opened her eyes and saw Joseph pulling the man back by his wrists.

"What do you think you're doing?" The Priest questioned. "She cannot be touched by anyone other than his Majesty. Even if you did have your way with her, you would be put to death alongside with her." The guard did not respond. The man ripped his wrist out of the priest's grasp. "She wants you to answer the question. Now answer her?" Joseph spoke out loud to the man. Jaysa stared at the man waiting for reply.

"We only scared them." The man spoke disgusted that he had to talk to her as if she was someone.

"Did you rape any of them?" Jaysa asked. The man gritted his teeth. He was not going to stand taking orders from a peasant.

"She asked you a question. Answer it!" Joseph spoke again.

"No, we did not." He spoke out again. Jaysa smiled on the inside. The women were frightened. She wanted to send them back home as soon as possible. Jaysa turned away from the man and walked past each cell trying to verify that no one was hurt. She passed one of the cells and heard a voice call out her name.

"Jaysa, is that you?" Jaysa stopped and turned the direction of the voice.

"Erica," she responded. Jaysa almost ran over to the cell with joy. She was able to see her friend again.

"I was so scared that they had killed you." Erica spoke. Tears were about to fall from the young girl's eyes. She now knew her friend was still alive and well.

"I'm fine." Jaysa spoke back. "I'm not dead, but close to it." She said almost above a whisper.

"Why is that?" Erica asked confused.

"I'm married to that man!" She spoke with disgust and disappointment.

"You don't mean…" Erica spoke out and Jaysa just nodded. "You're the Queen?" Jaysa smiled.

"I am." She began to speak. "I am very sorry for not coming sooner though." Jaysa spoke with sadness in her voice. "But I'm here now and I'm going to save you. No, not just you," Jaysa turned to face the cells. "I'm here to save everyone here." She smiled to the girls around her. "I'm here to take all of you young ladies that were forced to come here against their will," Jaysa's stopped to take a breath and then spoke again. "I will be sending you back to your families." She heard several sighs of relief. Jaysa heard one woman asked.

"Really, is that true? Can we really go home?" Jaysa nodded. She was unsure to who spoke, but showed her answer.

"Wait!" The guard yelled. "You can't do that?" Jaysa turned to look at the man.

"My husband gave me permission to take these girls home. If you defy me, then you are defying his Majesty." Jaysa spoke. Maybe being married to Danzel, she could use to her advantage. The man must have not believed her because he looked over at Joseph to verify it was true.
