28. I'm so Sorry.
Arthur was walking back from the alpha king's quarters where he had gone to apologize on behalf of his slave. His father was pretty chill about the whole incident and it put Arthur on the edge because normally, he would have been so angry and order the harshest punishments on a slave who so much as spoke when he spoke, not to even mention the fact that this particular slave was from the kind he hated with a lot of passion.
"Oh! It's okay, she was usually like that whenever I approached her during my camouflage at the human land too. She just needs a good tamer and she'll be mute, so I hope you're up to that task because if you're not, you still have that option of giving her back to me or just sharing her with me, I don't mind."The Alpha King had said when Arthur apologized and it shocked Arthur a lot.
It was almost as if his father had been smitten by the human slave but he didn't want to think in that direction about his father so he decided not to give it to much thought and so he just left after getting some other instructions from him about going to visit his fiancé the next day.
He was about to just go back into his quarters when he noticed how people, most especially the servants were whispering about and even running towards a particular direction, almost as if something interesting was going on and they did not want to miss out on it. He didn't really care about gossips and scenes so he merely shook his head and proceeded to just continue his walk to his room, until he heard his name being called by his brother behind him.
"Wait up, Arthur."He called out even though Arthur only slowed down instead of stopping.
When Hunterwas finally able to catch up with him, he spoke, "You know that offer about passing on your slave to me still stands, right?"
Arthur rolled his eyes so hard that it felt like they would fall out, "Please, do not even dare to tell me that you stopped me just to tell me this again because why on earth would I give her to you? You have two human slaves too, why is your eyes on mine?"Arthur let out, feeling annoyed.
"Because she's the it? Her face? Her fiestiness? Her sexual aura? And the last one, her body! The physique? Brother, I just saw her half naked and look at me!"Hunter said and then looked down at himself which in turn made Arthur look at what he was looking at too, only to see that he had an obvious boner.
He simply hissed and was about to just bypass him and leave when his brain reprocessed what he had just heard him say.
"Wait a second, did you just say you saw her half naked?"He asked, his eyes widened.
"Uh. Yes?"Hunter replied in a confused state.
"Why would she be half naked? How did you see her? I swear, Hunter, if you went doing something you shouldn't have done, I will literally kill you. What part of she's mine and I do not want to share do you not understand?"Arthur snapped at his younger brother, looking like he was refraining himself from just pouncing on him at that moment.
"Do I look that desperate to you? She's not all that! I'm not the only one who saw her, a lot of people did and probably almost half of the castle is staring at her on the death bed right now, I had to leave because of my..."
Arthur didn't even wait to hear anymore of what hunger was saying. At the mention of death bed, he was already sprinting towards the garden in a manner that is not fit for royalty but he couldn't care less at that moment.
The moment he walked into the garden, his presence wasn't even felt because they all has their attention on something in the middle. When he saw what or who it was, his eyes widened in shock.
Winifred was in a see through undergarment that left only little to imagination. Her face was so red and a part of her buttocks was so red and obviously swollen too. Four servants held her down while Florence hovered above her holding huge canes that made even Arthur wince.
He was very annoyed and angry, he practically saw everything in red at that moment, just when Florence was about to land yet another stroke on her, he lost it.
"WHAT ON EARTH DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" He thundered succeeding in stopping the canes halfway.
His loud and angry voice got everyone's attention as they all looked towards him as he walked into the main circle. "What do you think you're doing, Florence?"He asked again after come face to face with the head of Servants.
"She was rude and uncouth, my prince. She speaks without filter and insults people like she has the right to. My prince, she acts like she's a noble and not a slave that she actually is and you also gave me the right to punish her in the harshest way possible."Florence rambled on when she saw the fierce and angry look on Arthur.
"Florence, tell me when train her in the harshest way possible equals to punish her in the harshest way possible."He replied in the calmest way, one that scared Florence.
"I... I... I would like you to know that training slaves includes punishments, my prince. They go hand in hand especially for slaves that are rude like her. It's a necessary process."She explained hoping to convince him but Arthur was far too pissed.
"I gave you the authority to train her not lay your hands on her. The only hands I want on her is mine so Florence, let this be the first and the last time you would touch what is mine. I do not want to repeat this and I'm using this opportunity to extend it to others, no one touches what is mine. I won't repeat myself next time, you'll just have your fingers cut off!"Arthur threatened earning looks of disbelief and fear from the spectators.
He then went towards Winifred, carried her in a bridal way and left the garden, ignoring the eyes that followed him.
Winifred whimpered in pain as she closed her eyes, refusing to look at the eyes of the man whose arms she was in at the moment but the next words he uttered made her eyes flutter open, "I'm so sorry."He has said, while staring at her face with an expression Winifred couldn't decipher.
