The Alpha King's Hated Slave novel Chapter 35

Danika was so pressed, she knew she'll urinate on herself if she's here any longer.

She knelt down in front of King Lucien. "I w-want to use the bathroom, m-master." Her voice trembled.

"Five minutes." Was all he said.

"T-Thank you, master." She got up and walked towards the door, the guards opened the door for her and she walked out.

Outside the door of the courtroom, Danika had the insane urge to run away. To run as fast as her legs could carry her.

And she did.

Only, she could run to the bathroom. There is no escape from this place...from Salem...from the palace....from the introduction.

In the bathroom, she was breathing heavily and tears was running down her cheeks. She closed the door, leaned against the wall and started sobbing.

It's like her world is crashing down. Like she's breaking down even before she's supposed to. But she couldn't help herself.

Don't forget who you're. Don't forget who you're.

As she used the bathroom, she cried as much as her heavy heart could allow. Her heavy heart filled is filled with fear.

"You can do this, Danika. You can do it." She whispered to herself hoarsely.

Afterwards, she stared at her reflection in the mirror of the bathroom. She wiped her tears, grateful that her eyes isn't all swollen...just a little red behind the mask.

Don't forget who are you're, Danika. Keep your head high. You can do this.

She opened the door and got out. As she walked towards the door of the courtroom, she was surprised to see Baski walking towards her.

There was visible relief in the older woman's eyes. "Danika, there you are, I was looking for you."

"I took permission from the king to use the bathr---" she tried to explain.

But, Baski hurried towards her and took her hand. "There's some work I need you to do."

"But the king---"

"I already told the king about it, and he gave his consent. Now, quit being a troublehead and follow me." She commanded.

Danika snapped her mouth shut. Baski was already walking in those hurried steps of hers, and Danika followed her. She didn't understand why the woman is calling her away.

What can Baski possibly need from her that can't wait until after the introduction?
