Crown Prince Mark sat on his bed thinking of the new slave remembering the feel of her skin. He wants to have her underneath him and kiss every inch of her beautiful skin.
He slammed on his bed hard as he remembers his mother's threat. How would he marry someone he doesn't love and how can he explains to his mother he wants her.
He wished he was a human and not a beast and that way he could have propose his true feeling to her. That way even his own mother wouldn't stop him from wanting her. He really liked her but couldn't have her as he was a beast and she wasn't just human but their enemy and slaves.
He heard a knock on the door and Steve walks in.
"My Lord dinner is ready" Steve informs him.
"I know Steve, you can leave." He stood up immediately after Steve left him and walks out to the corridor going downstairs to the dinning room to join his mother and sisters for dinner.
His mother and twin sisters were already seated round the dinning table as he steps down to join them.
"Good evening mother," he greets his mother and took his seat on the respective head seat.
"How are you feeling now son?" Queen Melissa asked him, staring at him in concerns.
"Am fine mother" he replied as he sat down comfortably on his seat.
Princess Sarah said to him, "Brother I have already prepare your drink for tonight and it isn't as bitter as the first one earlier" she informs him, forgetting that her mother wasn't aware of her doings.
"What drink are you talking about?" Queen Melissa asked and she swallows
"Herbal drink mother" she softly replied.
"And where did you learn that from. Don't tell me you're already associating yourself with the humans?" Queen Melissa asked her.
"No mother" Princess Sarah quickly replies.
"Then how did you learn how to prepare the herbs. Are you a physician or what?," Queen Melissa anger rose.
"Mother!" Princess Sarah screamed.
"Do you want to poison your brother?. Where and how did you learn how to make those herbs?"Queen Melissa questions her again with narrowed eyes and Sarah frowns.
"Mom, I don't think there's anything wrong with the drink, am fine and let's just eat" Prince Mark respond.
"Son I don't seem to trust all these slow poison, you need to be careful with her" Queen Melissa advised him while Sarah glares at her mother from the dinning table.
"There's nothing wrong with the herbal drink mother, I felt better, after drinking it" Prince Mark respond to her and Sarah smiles sweetly hearing her brother's support.
She picks up her spoon and dug into the beef served on her plate while Queen Melissa shook her head.
"Are you sure, you are fine son?" she asked him in worry.
"Am fine mother, can we all eat in peace now" He picks up his own spoon and just then Stephanie spoke.
"Brother, I actually went to Chums family house today and she's so happy and cannot wait to come join us here in this palace. We're just waiting for the dancing festival in few days time" she giggles.
"Hmm" he nods and started eating. Soon the dinning hall fell in silent with only the sounds of cutleries heard and as he wasn't truly hungry, he ate a little to his satisfaction as he couldn't finish all, he stood up and left the dinning room, leaving his mother and twin sisters behind as he steps out of the castle, going out to the open field and palace garden.
He walks into the field first and Steve follows him from behind at a distance. He walk passed the field and garden and got to another magnificent building named the Labour house.
The building was built inside his palace but at a farther end at the front where they did all sort of labor works. He stood out and ask the guard standing at the front whom bows to him as he approach.
"Where the head of the labour house?" he asked and the guard immediately left and went into the building to call the head of the labour house out
The head of the labour house was also a beast and immediately steps out and bow before him.
"Welcome your majesty" Jasper Brown greeted him as he bows.
"Rise" Crown Prince Mark respond. "Can I see the new designs from the laborers?" he requested even as the night had fallen.
"Yes your majesty, but we have actually sold out some to the wolf clans and humans at the market as you requested before" Jasper respond.
"Hmm" he nods. " Can I see the new ones available?" he asked and Jasper respond, "This way your majesty."
He lead Crown Prince Mark thru the corridor and and into the warehouse where they pack different kinds of furniture made. They walk into the store room and Jasper shows him the new available designs left.
"Hmm" He walks round admiring the new chairs made.
"Who made it?" he asked Jasper who stood watching him.
"The humans your majesty" Jasper replies in a lowered voice as he knew his majesty wasn't impressed to know the humans created all the beautiful designs.
"Can I see the person who made this particular designs?" Crown Prince Mark requested.
"Right away!" Jasper immediately left the store room, leaving Crown Prince Mark behind in the store room and he walks up and down to examine the carve made on top of the beautiful chairs. He so love the design and admire the works.
Just then Jasper step in with the human who stood staring at him. He turns to face the human and Jasper orders the human, "Bow before his majesty!"
The human immediately fell down to his knees and bows. He knew the man standing before him is the head of the beast, so he did as told.
"Rise!" Crown Prince Mark said as he walks round the human.
"What's your name?" he asked the human who shook as he stares at his sharp golden colored eyes that shines brightly in the dark room that has only a stick burning to lit up the room.
"Alex Anderson" he replies.
"Alex you say?" Crown Prince Mark question as he sees the human staring at him.
"Yes your majesty" Alex quickly respond and looked away as he wasn't comfortable staring at the king of the beast eyes.
"Can I offer you a favour Alex, I seem to like this designs. I want to ask you, can you teach the beast men how you made this beautiful designs?" he asked him.
"Yes your majesty, that's if they are ready to learn" Alex respond.
"Hmm, you see, I would have killed you a long time ago, but I find you more useful to us and I will give you a more respectable title if you can teach our men how to create this kind of beautiful designs, that way no beast man will be able to attack you" Crown Prince Mark offers as he like the design and wants his people to learn as they were only depending on the humans to do all the labour works for them.
"Okay your majesty" Alex replies and he stares at him, seeing the human wasn't a kid but looks mature, he orders, "Jasper take him away!."
"Okay your majesty" Jasper quickly lead Alex out and left. Crown Prince Mark walks up and down in the store room waiting for Jasper to return and as Jasper returns he orders him, "Take this two seats to the royal castle. If Queen mother asks who sent it tell her I did" and he left the Labour house walking down to the hills and Steve follows rightly behind him.
Jasper steps out and gave the two beautiful seats to a guard to take it over to the royal castle and to give the prince's instruction to the queen if asked. The guard immediately left with the two seat taking it to the royal castle.
Crown Prince Mark got to the top of the hills and sat down for the cold wind to blew him as he was feeling hot thinking about the beauty again.
He wants her and wish to have her but he couldn't.
He remembers his father's warning, "Don't give the humans the powers they request son, they're more smarter and if given power, they will send us to extinction."
"Why father, can't we leave in peace and harmony with them?" He asked.
"No son. The humans are only meant to serve under us and work for us as our slaves, if given the powers to rule then what will become of us as we need them in our kingdom building."
"Hmm" He sighs as he remembers his father's warning. More reason why he want to see if his kind can learn from the humans as they depends so much on the humans.
He lay back on the hills and slept off there till morning.
The following morning in the women's quarters, Lady Annabelle rang the bell loudly to wake up all the human slaves sleeping in different rooms of the women's quarters building up.
Bang, Bang , Bang!, She hits the huge bell loudly and the young ladies stood up from their various rooms, preparing to go take their baths.
Angela was also given a room to share with the ten new young ladies that were of her set. They were assigned to a room on the first floor and were to share four bed among themselves. As she was fat and chubby, she has to share a bed with only one person, while the rest shares the bed, laying three on top of each wide bed.
Soon Lora knocks and steps into their room to inform them, "You all should take your baths fast and once you're thru, you come upstairs to the dinning room for breakfast," she said to them and left.
Angela sighs and went out to the bathroom to take her bath with the rest of the young ladies taking their baths in the wide bathroom.
