Chapter 32
"Ezra, how could you do this to her! This wasn't what I asked you to do! Yes, I asked you to punish her and give her a lot of work but I didn't ask you to hurt her to this extent!" King Theodore yelled angrily at Ezra who stared to the floor with mixed feelings, the king might decide to lock him up and it would be a Shame to him as his slaves will see him.
"My king I just…" He tried saying as a slap landed on his face.
"Don't say nothing because you do not have a valid reason for doing this Ezra, do you know the damage you have caused!?, I have warned you to control your anger!, This woman is royalty and you know we are also using her as a bite to get Archer" he turned to Pearl who lay unconsciously on the bed "Just pray she survives it, if not this war will be much intense and not easy, Guham has a lot of guards and Archer can also get more guards from other kingdoms… Yes they will definitely release their guards because Archer is respected and powerful, you don't want them to match into this kingdom with range, if Pearl stays alive Archer will have no choice but to humble himself and surrender to me… You see"
"I am so sorry my King, I will be careful with her," Ezra pleaded with heads low.
"Just go get the physician" he said, staring at Pearl's flayed naked body, her skin was pale and bloody and in-between her legs were still bleeding looking so sore and disgusting.
King Theodore was in no way scared of Archer for sure, he was in fact sure that he would end up killing Archer because they are both going to fight each other, but what feared him was that Pearl might have lost her baby.
If indeed Pearl lost her baby then he is sure going to lose the fight because every kingdom will be against him and his kingdom, Pearl isn't his property and that makes it wrong for him to violate her not to speak of making her miscarry her baby… That was a bad aura to him because he needed as much support as he could get.

"What's going on Seren and Rosamund!" Sage asked curiously as they locked the room door.
"I saw something not too right today, can you tell me if you know anything suspicious about Zinnia?" Seren said, sitting on the couch by the corner.
Sage could see that there was something happening that she didn't know about, the look on their faces was desperate.
"Well, uhm… Just have to spill this out" Sage started as she nervously cracked her knuckles, she just has to say it by the way, she can't continue hiding the truth.
"Zinnia and I were sluts before coming into this castle" Sage started as Seren turned to Rosamund in Surprise "Yeah I know that it sounds like a bad reputation but I did it to have a roof above my head, for money and shelter… But this isn't about me" she signed as she tucked her hair behind her ears "I and Zinnia worked in the same brothel where the king normally gets his sluts, although I and Zinnia were never friends but I knew her because she was the most ordered" Sage paused and turned to Seren and Rosamund who started back at her with curiosity.
FLASH BACK
Sage walked through the passage leading to the main hall. She was looking forward to getting a client for the night as she wasn't satisfied with what she had got.
She never planned to be a slut but she had no other choice than to do it as it was the only way to fend her needs.
She was thrown out by her husband because she wasn't able to bear him a child, she had no money and place to sleep until a man helped her which was how she got to the brothel and was now a full time worker.
She was about to open the door to the ball room as she heard whispers by the corner of the costume room. She was supposed to keep going as It was normal and wasn't her business but she had the urge to go check what was going on.
She hid by the walls to eavesdrop on their conversation, she was surprised to see Zinnia with the king's personal adviser.
Was he there to take her to the king? She wished she was Zinnia at that moment.
"Look Fox, all I want from you is to get me married to the king, you already said it! He needs a wife and he likes me so why don't you take me to him… This will make our relationship together stronger!" Zinnia said.
Hearing that Zinnia had a thing with the king's personal adviser got Sage surprised, she wondered why Zinnia would want to marry the king when she is Fox's lover.
"So I will still have you whenever I want?" Fox asked as Zinnia rolled her eyes heavenward.
"Yes fox, you are my man and no other man can replace my love for you, I just want to get married to the king for the good life and fame" that was a shocking revelation to Sage, how could Zinnia plan to use the king.
"Are you sure that the king won't get married to another woman? I want to be the only one," Zinnia asked curiously as Fox smiled.
"Yes my love, the king just needs a wife to look responsible in the midst of other king's, King Archer is a Casanova and won't have much time for many wives" Fox said as a smile curved on Zinnia's lips "Now come let's have a good time together" Fox said in a wild smile as he pulled Zinnia close grabbing her butt.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Wow!, Which means you already know that they have a thing together, Zinnia is such a hypocrite!" Rosamund muttered in Surprise of the revelation.
"Yes she is, I suspect her for the sudden disappearance of my mistress, she never liked my mistress, few days ago she gave me a bad seed to put in my mistresses coffee, a seed that causes miscarriage, I have forgotten the name of the seed though" Rosamund and Seren turned to each in shock of the sudden Revelations.
"You didn't put it right?" Seren asked curiously
"Of course I didn't, I know who Zinnia is and what she is capable of," Sage said, rolling her eyes in disgust.
"How has Zinnia been treating you as she knows that you both worked together?"
"I don't think Zinnia remembers me though, because she never acts like she does and it doesn't look like she is pretending" Sage said as she exhaled deeply.
"So what do you think we should do to her and agent Fox now? Should we report them to the king when he is back?" Rosamund as curiously as sage shakes her head.
"We can't tell the king just yet, that would be lots of stress for his brain, we will just wait and see what Zinnia and Fox is upto and then we will know how to deal with them" Sage said as she stood up.
"Are you going already?"
"Yes, it's my turn to cook so I gotta go and get it started" Sage said and headed out.
"There are a lot of secrets in this castle rose!" Seren muttered as Rosamund pouted.
***
King Theodore watched the physician as he touched and rubbed things on pearls vagina, she was still not awake but at least she was breathing.
"What's wrong with her? Did she miscarry her baby?" King Theodore asked curiously as the physician stood up and turned to King Theo.
"No my king, but her vagina lips tore and because her vagina was stressed it got sore and that also caused the bleeding, her baby is still intact" the doctor said as King Theo sighed.
"So why isn't she waking up?" The king asked
"She will be unconscious for some hours but please when she wakes up make some coffee with these roots for her, she has to drink it everyday" the doctor said, stretching it to the king as a guard to the roots instead.
There is no way King Theodore is doing all that, he brought her here to suffer and not to be pampered.
"I will leave now my king" the doctor bowed and headed out with his rusted aid box.
He was the doctor King Archer had sent to treat pearl some months back, he was surprised to see pearl in that condition, she didn't look good at all and it was insulting to see her naked in front of the guards too.
"King Archer would be so angry if he hears this" the doctor thought as he strolled out of the castle.
He wished they really give the queen the coffee as he had prescribed, at least it will help the queen and her baby.
As the only English doctor at the reach of four Kingdoms he was the only one being called as less people liked local treatments.
Him seeing Queen Pearl gives him something to report to his king, yeah he is a guhamian and no one knows about it.
