Chapter 10

I was now sitting alone in my dimly lit room reminiscing about the day. All the kings and queens I met. All the wealthy people who smiled at me and called me beautiful. These people didn't make me feel disgusted like I used to feel before, is it because they seemed pure and harmless towards me? Or is it because I felt safe with the king sitted beside me.

I stood up from the bed and walked over to the window, the moon was full and bright as ever. It was very beautiful.

I stood there staring at the moon for some minutes but a knock disrupted my thoughts, a maid walked in with her head bowed down.

"My lady, you're not sleeping here tonight, please proceed to the king's room", she said politely gesturing to his room which was opposite mine. I never knew that was his room opposite mine. Since I got to this palace, I never stepped foot out of the room without being ordered to, I don't know how other parts of the palace looks like. I guess I'll just find out later.

I nodded and followed her. I was extremely nervous. Was he going to give me a task to perform tonight? What do slaves do for their owners. Back at my previous owner's place, I was made to dance at brothels and do hard work but I'm obviously not doing that here with what I'm seeing. So what am I doing?

I stood in front of the huge door as my heart pounded widely against my chest. The maid walked away leaving me alone in front of the door. I stared at her back walking away in the dimly lit hall wall.

I inhaled and exhaled fairly in order to gather the resolve to go into the room. I gently pushed the door open after a few knocks without getting any response, there was no one in the room. The room was bigger than mine and also darker, how could he see clearly in here? I walked into the room slowly after closing the door behind me. I looked around the room trying to get familiar with the environment. The room was also very beautiful, book shelves were placed in corners with alot of books filling them.

The bed was huge, very huge and looked extremely comfortable.

What was I supposed to do in here? The maid said I wasn't sleeping in my room tonight, which means I'll sleep in the king's room, with the king? That's how married couples were supposed to live I guess.

I gently sat at the edge of the huge bed, my heart was still pounding wildly. I was extremely nervous and scared and most of all the lights were too dim. I sat for a minute trying to adjust my eyes to the darkness in the deafening silence.

I was startled by a door opening. The king walked out with only a towel tied around his waist. He has just taken I bath, the sweet scents of the oils were flying everywhere. It was just too delicious and alluring.

I stood up immediately from the bed and bowed nervously. He walked quietly around the room and lit some candles, I was thankful because I'm not sure I could stay in so much darkness.

He turned back to look at me with those piercings brown eyes. With the lights Illuminating the room, I could now see his muscular chest. His shoulders were broad and muscular. His waist was slim as his stomach was adorned with finely toned abs.

This was the finest man I'd ever seen in my life.

I stood there quietly as he stared at me. His skin felt hot under his gaze, he tilted his head as he kept staring at me, I looked away as I used my hands to cover my chest.

A throathy chuckle left his mouth as he put on his robe, I was also wearing a robe with a lacy underwear underneath.

He walked over to the other side of the bed and layed on it, resting his head on the headboard. He positioned his hand on his thighs, still staring at me. I followed his every movements with my eyes, as I stood there quietly with my hands over my chest.

"Won't you sit?", he said with his voice just a little bit above a whisper. I slowly sat on the bed making sure to keep my distance from him.

"Closer", he commanded, his voice sounded very authoritative as it sent a shiver down my spine. I obeyed his command by moving closer to him on the bed.

I was extremely nervous on what was about to come.

"You were a good girl, so obedient, you didn't speak to anyone, you need a reward", he said, his voice sounded casual but it had a dangerous ring to it.

My face felt hot as the words good girl left his lips.

I nodded slowly as i looked at his very beautiful face. He was extremely gorgeous, this was the first time I was seeing him up close and he looked like a Greek god. His features were so defined and attractive that it almost made me feel like I was looking at the devil who attracts with his looks.

I sat nervously on the bed, my hands clasped together in between my thighs. He sat beside me, his eyes burning with something that looked like desire as he gazed at me. He was expressionless but his eyes said everything and it scared me.

"You look stunning tonight," he whispered, his voice low and husky. "I think I made the right decision in purchasing you."

My cheeks flushed with shame, and I looked down at my hands. "Th-thank you," I stuttered, that's the only polite thing I had to say.

He chuckled and gently lifted my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. "Don't be shy," he commanded. "You're mine now. Tonight, you will be rewarded for being a good girl and as my wife...so you must perform your wifely duties"

My heart skipped a beat as his eyes seemed to bore into my soul. I felt a flutter in my chest, and my breath was caught in my throat.

He leaned in closer, his lips inches from mine. "You're a virgin?" he whispered, his breath sending shivers down my spine. I looked away so that I couldn't meet his gaze, it weakened me.

I felt like I was melting under his eyes, like I was completely under his control. My mind went blank, and all I could think about was the way he was making me feel, I never felt so vulnerable before. I nodded shyly to his question.

"Shouldn't...we talk about this?" I whispered, my voice barely audible. I was very nervous, he was making me feel so weak and vulnerable with his fingers under my chin.

He raised an eyebrow. "Talk about what?"

I swallowed hard. "About...what's going to happen tonight."

His expression turned stern, and he grasped my shoulders. "You don't need to know what's going to happen," he commanded. "You just need to obey me."

I felt a surge of fear mixed with anticipation, and I nodded meekly. Obey him, I had to obey him as my owner and 'husband'.
