More tears pouring down from her eye, what have she done to deserve this.

Who did she offend, what did she commit,like why do people hates her.

Anywhere she goes,she's being hated by all.

Everyone talks bad about her.

Her body itches her so badly that she had no option than to bath.

The mud they pushed her into must have been stucked there for weeks.

She smells so bad and stinkingly irritating.

Their was a little corner by their room.

An old bucket of water was there and no one need to tell her that it is actually the bathroom.

She went in and bathed herself torally.

She came out and was surprised to meet Matthew awake and already sitted up.

On sighting her,his eye shined in happiness.

"Mama!!". He called and spread his arm.

He would have gotten up if not for the drip.

Sonia ran to his arm and gently envelope him in a hug. "My Boy!... Awwnn Mama missed you so darling much". Sonia uttered in-between tears.

"Really???. Mama! Are you crying?". Mat asked to be sure

"No". Sonia was quick to.lie."I was just so happy that you're back for me. Mama missed you". Sonia mumbled and pecked his cheek,nose, forehead and began raining kisses on his face.

Mat giggled and cackled.He held her face with his little hand and do the same thing to her face.

And she will be Happy to keep watching him smile all day long.

Their lovely moment was Interrupted with a little growl in the little boys Belle.

Mat almost flushed in Embarrassment.

"Mama, I'm Hungry?". He whined and rubbed his Belle.

Sonia's smile slowly disappear.

How will she get food for her brother.

And she's also hungry but pretended not to be Hungry.

Matthew saw the change of expression in her face and was worried.

"Mama,, you're not okay!. Is it because of what I said???".

"No.. no..no Mat,, I was just worried. We're still in the palace and I don't know what we will eat.... I don't even know wether they will feed us at all?".Sonia complained worriedly.

Her own Belle growled, showing the support.

Matthew became scared.He remembered the knife the pierced on his Body and shivered in fear.

"We're still in the palace??... I thought we were set Free. I don't want them to pierce my laps anymore. It's still paining me. Mama please let's run Away. The big man will not pity me if he sees me.". Matthew cried as he laid his own complaint.

Sonia developed a headache.

"No mat.. you will not see the Big man again." She knows who he is referring the name Big Man to.

"But we're still in his House Mama. Let's run like Daddy. Big man will hurt me Again". He began wailing.

Sonia was touched by his tears.

And she swore,she almost cry too but had to maintain.She engulfed him in another hug and began soothing him.Assuring him that They're safe and the Big man will not come for them again.

It was very tough to convince Mat,But when the latter finally believed his sister.

He smiled at her and promised her he will not to c ry anymore.

Their moment was Interrupted when the door went open and the Royal Doctor Came in.

He was surprised that the little boy is awake.

Matthew held tight on his Mama.

He don't want any body to separate him from his Mama.

"Hello little one". The doctor greeted as he dropped his tools aside.

"Hello doctor". Sonia greet on behalf of her brother.

The doctor nods at her then face his brother.

"Of course!". Sonia nod at her brother.

"He wants to check your Body, he won't harm you. I promise". Matthew finally let go off his sister.And the doctor Began his work on him.

He changed his bandage,gently fixing another one.Removed his drip and checked the little boys vital.And nod his head, his vitals are okay.Half way to what his doing,their came a knock on the door and it went open.

The Royal maids all came in and all bowed at the doctor.

GUEST ROOM

Sonia was Taken to the guest room to freshen up and change.Despite her pleas to have few words with her brother.The maids paid deaf ears to her.It's late already and the Kings Head Guard have already given his order.

They need to get her ready,before the king request for her.

Sonia's expression was solemn.Deep inside of her,she cried a river.Her breathing wasn't the same.she might pass out due to fear and frustration.

Not like she haven't had S*x before.

She had it more like Twice,and it's of her own will.Her fear mostly goes to what the King will do to her.Will he be gentle,or Hard?.

She knows deep down that the King is heartless.He might as well strangle her on bed.

The Maids weren't an exception when it comes to gossip.

" I wonder how she will survive after tonight."

" The King will never ever go gentle on her."

" And she's the first stranger the our king is ever sleeping with."

"On the first place,she's lucky. But on the second place, I pity her."

"The King will surely go rough on her since she's a stranger and not related to and Royalties."

Sonia heard all that they said clearly.

She was so weak,tired and hungry.

Come to add with what she will pass through in the Kings hand.

" Look we don't have to pity her."One of them.mumbled.

" Yes! You're right,we don't have to pity her."

" She deserves whatever that befalls her."

" A whole grown up like her can't caution her father about his bad behavior."

" Can't you see that when her father thiefs,she will have a share of it. "

"It's a lie!". Sonia quickly interrupt the last speaker."Yes I know my father is a Thief,but I haven't ever gotten any share of what he stole.".

" Shut up you B*tch."One of the maid snapped at her.

"When we're talking a commoner like you that don't have a class should not talk."

" Useless thing! You should be thinking of how you stupid life will be from tomorrow."

"Daughter of a THIEF."

Sonia face fell.She kept mute and watch them call her all sort of names as they dress her up.

They Smoothened her body with A lotion, applying her Some Make up to make her look beautiful which she did.They styled her hair,To an attractive bun style.Was this all necessary.

It's just to satisfy him,and nothing else.

30 Minutes later:

Sonia stare at her reflection in the mirror.

She was standing, staring at the Transparent Night wear.She felt utterly embarrassed and shyly covered her naked body.

" What's she covering, something that the King won't enjoy one a bit."

" I know for her???. Acting like a saint when she isn't one."

" Look how innocent her face is. "

" Don't go there, she's a wolf in sheep clothing. "

Sonia heard enough.

Inside her head was running a Marathon

She's just confused.

What have she done to deserve insult In her precious life.

Right from when she was still tender.

She received a Millions of insults.

She don't have a friend,neither does she have anyone she talks to.

Back then,she was a loner, that always sit outside watching her mates play with joy and I'm satisfaction.

Everybody avioded her like a fly.

Some called her a Witch.

While others called her a destitued.

All mother's do warn their wards never to come anywhere close to her.

Cos of the bad image of her father.

She stayed a loner till Matthew came up in the picture.

She was the happiest being ever.

Having someone to talk with a play with.

Despite how little Matthew is?. She took out her whole time to play and act like a kid when she's not.She loves her Brother like he's the only treasure she got in this planet Earth

When others go to school, Sonia will struggle hard to send her brother to school.

Her father caredless about the both of them.

He do come home whenever he feels like.

She can't count how many times they change home.She's not a graduate but want Matthew to become one.She had to give out her Virginity,just to send Matthew to school.

The news of her having S*x with a Man that she can call a Father spread like wide fire in her community.

She wasn't caught on act,but was vidoes by an unknown person.Of course people condemned her Calling her all sort of names.

Some called her a Prostitute.That's actually what her Mother is?And it runs in her blood.

When her father Got the news.

He dealt badly with her.

Sonia's body that day was filled with Mark.

She only did what she think was right for her brother.

Since her father don't want to support.

Wherever she goes.

They call her a Prostitute.

Till the extent she couldn't come out outside anymore.

Unlike before.

They bully Matthew for her.

Most times the boy will come back from school with his already worn out uniform crying.

Sometimes he will come back with some injuries or scraped arm.

When trying to escape from them.

It wasn't still okay till her father did what he thinks was right.

Their house was burned down to Ashes.

No hope of return.

"Let's go". The Masculine voice Interrupted her thoughts and she sniffed.

The maids were all gone.It was only her and the Guard that saved her from her fellow slaves.

"I'm scared!". She mumbled close to tears.

"You choseed to be on his bed?!. Why then are you scared". Kai Questioned with a snort.

Somehow he doesn't like the girl.

Her father was smart enough to escape.

He knows deep down that where Christopher is?. They will find him.

Cos the Staff and Rob is not something to joke with.

Sonia's fear rise to its peak.

No one.is assuring her that all will be well.

They all through harsh words at her,like she really wanna be on the Kings Bed.

"You don't wanna keep His Majesty Waiting??". Kai obliged.

Sonia had no choice than to follow him out.

Surely,it's her cross and she have to carry it.

It's just for the safety of Matthew and her.

On Their way out, she Bumped in some Royal Women.

"Good day My Ladies". Kai greeted them with A Bow.

"Good day My Ladies". She bowed to them.

The ladies stare at themselves then back to Sonia.

"Who's she!". One of them Questioned Kai.

"She's the King's New S*x Slave".

"What?!!!". They chorus and stare at Sonia who already had her head bow in shame

Her hands protectively covering her nakedness.

"What's This". One pointed at her with a Snort.

"Has his Highness taste change that bad. Why she?!".

"She isn't even that classy to be called a S*x Slave.".

"She looks so dirty and cheap,add with the nonsense she rubbed on her face."

"Enough!!!". Kai Interrupted them and point at each one of them.

"You better keep mute and behave like nothing happened. If the King chooses her as his Bed warmer, then let it be. Don't say a word or doing something that will irritate the king. Remember the case of Neli. He won't hesitate beheading anyone of you like he did to Neli!... As you can see, we're heading to the Kings Chamberlain. Bye!". He walked past them as he continued his journey in the large hall way.

Sonia didn't know wether to join him.

The malicious glares she was receiving at the moment was so deadly.

"Get out of our sight, PIG"!. one of them snapped and she quickly scrambled away.

The 4 Mistresses watch her figure disappeared from their sight.

" She's shapeless". Dora started.

" She ain't even okay to be presented before the king." Monica supported.

"I heard she's the Christopher's daughter". Mandy, the one that has been quiet for long spoked up.

"Really, that thief really bore a Child!?". Dora Questioned with a Widen eye.

"From different Women!".Lia answered.

"At least, we have someone that will be satisfying his Majesty,not Everytime that stupid Maria". Mandy said.

"Yes you're right Mandy?!. Maybe that's the sign to show that he's already fed up with her F*cked up B*tchy character"Monica uttered proudly.

"Of Course we aren't the loosers now!!. Maria is already a loser". Lia spoke and the rest laughed their ass out.

"But that doesn't stop me from hating that Girl, I don't just know,but my spirit hates her". Dora mumbled and scoffed.

"Same here" the rest supported her.
