Chapter 30

Queen Lula left from the window and sat on her bed after watching her husband ride into danger. She was scared that she might lose her husband but at same time she knew that it was important to get Pearl back.

She won't say she hates Pearl for any reason in particular but you can say that she hates everyone around her.

She wanted Pearl to have her baby, she wanted the baby to be born because she has always wanted a baby in the castle, yeah she hates the life King Archer lived and wished he could mistakenly get a baby even if it's not from her.

Luckily now they are having a baby in the castle soon but she knows that someone in the castle doesn't want the baby, she couldn't tell who the person was in particular but she suspected Zinnia because of the kind of person she is.

Zinnia sighted agent Fox walking up the stairs as she hurried to him.

"You didn't go with the King? Why!? You would have gone so that you can get information of what will happen?" Zinnia muttered in whispers as Fox huffed inaudibly.

"You worry a lot woman!, You don't have to worry Zinnia, Pearl isn't coming back again the King of Prussiate made her his slave, thank God you helped the guards take her away though, I thought it would ruin my plans… But I think it made it much easier, King Archer might equally be killed and I might be crowned King as his personal adviser as his brother doesn't want the throne!!" Fox said in a cacky giggle.

"Common Fox!, The plan was never to harm the King, I don't want that at all" Zinnia signed as she turned back to see if anyone was coming "You know how much I love King Archer, and stay clear I can't marry Fox you know that, we won't make a good couple, let's just continue the Casanova life we are living"

" Yeah… If you say so" he replied, faking a frown as he pulled her close to himself "you know what is more fun?"

"Tell me"

"Not having the King and many of the guards around! This means we can have fun any day and anytime Zinnia! You should be happy" he said as he pecked her neck softly sending it down to her chest as Zinnia moaned softly.

"Fox this isn't the right place to do this, we can just go to your…" She tried saying as she heard a gentle cough, she turned to see Seren who was acting as if she saw nothing.

"Was just passing, You both should have fun" she said as she walked past them in a funny chuckle.

"You see what you caused by not having self control Fox! You're just so annoying! God I'm doomed, the King will definitely hear this!" Zinnia Muttered, hitting her palms on her forehead in frustration.

"Zinnia this is bad what should we do!?" Fox asked, making Zinnia more annoyed.

"You should know what to do because you caused this mess, by the way you can't make her unsee it" Zinnia said as she walked out of his presence annoyingly " God I hate her friends too!" She Muttered as she banged her door closed.

The huge dangerous looking man walked to me with a frown on his face. He is just too ruthless to be a disciplinarian. I know that he will surely punish me for not doing much in the planting.

He stared down at the Lillies I sowed in disgust as his eyes drifted to me in so much range… What next?

"Do you really not know how to sow Lilies or you did this rubbish intentionally!" He yelled as he pulled me up by my hair, it hurt so much but I decided to stay strong and absorb the pain.

Just in my first day of being a slave I already feel like I am losing weight, I definitely will die before the week runs out.

"Are you this dumb!! You literally just placed the Lilies on the mud and once it rains they will all flush away definitely!" He yelled as he pulled me with him, I just hope this doesn't go beyond expectations.

He pulled me to a room filled with ropes of different sizes, it looked like a room to punish people, he definitely had bad plans for me.

Staring at the robes and whips in the room got me more scared, I'm really gonna be whipped! This is far beyond my expectations!… I have been starved, punished and still will be punished again all in one day!.

He pushed me hard to the floor as I hit my belly hard, that was the worst!… If they continue manhandling me this way I definitely will lose my baby.

My belly felt so heavy all of a sudden making my waist hurt so bad.

Ezra, as they called him, walked towards the thick ropes as he tightened them and walked to the other end where he got two whips of different sizes. I felt like running at the sight of that and the thought of it being used on me.

"Strip!" He shouted emotionlessly as I fearfully stood up and pulled off my garment and then my pants. I felt so disrespected being naked in front of a man that isn't my husband.

I was scared that he was gonna fvck me and do all the disgusting stuff with me, even if he wants to do all that. I don't have a choice here because no one likes me and I don't have anyone to run to, trying to run away will make them kill me at once.

Seren hurried into the room after seeing the disgusting act between Zinnia and Agent Fox, she was shocked that Zinnia could act in such a manner.

At first it seemed like a dream to her suddenly barging into such a thing, but it was later clear to her by the way they kissed that they have a thing together.

Seren paced back and forth of the room babbling inaudibly to herself while Rosamund stared at her in confusion.

"Hey, Seren, will you just stop acting up and tell me what is wrong with you?" Rosamund asked as she sat up staring curiously at the weird acting Seren who turned to her and signed.

"You won't believe what my eyes saw today Rose!" She Muttered not still believing her eyes, it was hard to believe that such a thing was happening and no one in the castle might have noticed.

"Will you just spill it out!"

"Queen Zinnia and that Man that always stands by the King, I don't know his name…"

"Yes, the king's personal adviser… Go on"

"Yes, they are having an affair, I caught them kissing!" Seren muttered as Rosamund stared at her in shock, she knew that Seren doesn't just say things, it was definitely true!.

"You're not serious Seren! What was their reaction when you caught them?" She asked with disgust on her face.

"They were obviously embarrassed, Zinnia couldn't say a thing, she just left him and ran to her room" Seren said as she sat next to Rosamund" I knew that something fishy was going on in this castle but this was the last thing on my mind!" Seren muttered as she clicked her tongue in disgust.

"Don't you think they are both part of the kidnap of Pearl? I mean… This castle is just too large for a stranger to come in and go just like that, someone from this castle must have helped them escape or something" Rosamund said as she turned to the lost Seren who was still lost in thought.

"We have to do our own investigation in this castle as the King and his guards are out there looking for Pearl, don't you think so? It will equally make it easier for them… We already have a suspect at hand so we will start from them and we gotta be careful because Zinnia might find out about our plans and kill us or something"

"Are we going to tell the King about what you saw?"

"That won't be necessary now, all we have to do is get Sage and ask her questions about the Zinnia queen, Sage will definitely do anything to save her mistress, I see the genuine love she has for Pearl".

*

Sage lay on her old mattress with her eyes focused on the candle chandelier, she was so lost in thoughts that she didn't notice anything around her.

She was dying in guilt, she blamed herself so much for the situation her mistress might be in, she feared that her mistress might lose her baby or get hurt.

"Who knows how bad they might be treating her, she hasn't taken her coffee and being stressed won't be good for her and the baby!" Sage said audibly as tears rolled down her eyes.

She knows how much Zinnia hated her mistress, she suspected Zinnia so much that she could swear that Zinnia had a hand in everything happening.

Yes, she knew Zinnia even before she was married into the castle, they were both sluts in the brothel the King visits often for girls.

Sage signed not wanting to remember her bad encounter with Zinnia, she stood from her bed and made to the exit as she met Zinnia standing by the door just then Seren and Rosamund showed up.

The looks on their faces got Sage confused.
