The following day in the palace, the female slaves prepares to go out for their selection. It wasn't anything like the king's mating ceremony as drummers weren't invited. Lady Annabelle woke up the ladies banging the bell loudly.
"Wake up! Wake up!" She yelled, banging the bell loudly.
Angela wakes up early as well as she had sleeping problems making her restless throughout the night.
She steps down to take her bath with the rest of the ladies in her room and soon they were thru, preparing and they step out into the corridor, going upstairs for their breakfast first.
Lady Annabelle wasn't in the hall with them as only her assistant Lady Binta was in the hall, where they were served theirs meals.
Lady Binta wasn't as harsh as Lady Mandy who was ruthless.
Angela walks up and sat in her seat, and after her breakfast, she went downstairs wondering how the event will be like.
Lady Annabelle steps into the hall and rang the bell loudly again.
"Step downstairs and call all the ladies out!" she said in her usual commanding voice, and majority of the ladies stepped downstairs as they were through with their preparations.
Angela wonders what she wanted to say, and she saw Tana, Lora and some of their colleagues coming out to take their seats, and she wonder if they will also be among the ladies that will be selected.
Tana frowns and walks away from her as she meet Angela's gaze on her.
"Okay today we will say goodbye to some of our ladies here, but first you know how the selection works. You girls are to strip and remain only in your undies when the time for selection starts" Lady Annabelle instructs them.
"Do you all understand?" she asked them again.
"Yes ma'am."
"Good" she respond and walks to sit on the head seat.
Angela was shock to hear the ladies will strip again and remain in their undies. She swallowed wondering what kind of selection is that.
Jack steps into the women quarters hall and all the ladies gaze in the hall fell on him.
He's also handsome and attractive and never for once slept with any of the slaves or tries to lure them and take advantage of them, in the name his will them to escape.
He spoked to Lady Annabelle, Send some ladies upstairs to prepare his majesty bath.bThe mating ceremony will soon begin, once his majesty his thru with his preparation," and Lady Annabelle nods and stare back to the ladies, while Jack left.
"Angela, you stand up and select four other of your mates to assist you in going upstairs" Lady Annabelle informs her and she swallowed.
Angela stood up and stare around in the large hall.
She already knows some of the girls name and she mentioned them out.
"Esther, Juliet, Shawn and Salma."
The four of them stood up and frowned. They were expecting her to select another girls and only Esther felt, probably she doesn't want to the rest of the girls to know that his majesty hadn't allowed her strip.
"What are you ladies waiting for, Go on!" Lady Annabelle informs them and they drag and steps out from the hall. Walking and going out towards the royal castle.
"Why did you select me Angela, couldn't you pick on Nikita and Beatrice as they would gladly follow you in going to bath the King" Shawn jabe at her but Angela remains quiet.
"Shawn it isn't as if she had selected them, they wouldn't complain. You know Lady Annabelle said it mostly turn by turn and this week is still our turn" Salma replied and Shawn was quiet.
The walk into the hall and Queen Melissa saw them.as she stood at the front of the corridor wanting to go downstairs and stroll around the palace.
Her eyes subtly narrowed at them and bow their heads lowered and greeted her, "Good morning Gracious one."
Queen Melissa gave a simple nod and walk passed them.
She eyed the white looking human who didn't raise her head to stare at her.
Seeing that the queen as left them, they walk up the stairs going upstairs to King Mark's chamber.
Queen Chums stood by the window staring out at the palace and lands beyond. She was glad she was queen, but wasn't happy that her husband has refused to mate with her.
She continued staring out when she saw the servants walk up the stairs coming up.
She turns to face them
"Good morning Gracious one" They greeted her too and she nods sadly and spoked to them, "You can go."
They bows at her and left. As she wants to stare away. Her eyes drew back to the backside and curvy waist of the white human.
She swallows and stare away not wanting to think much as her husband had advised her not to worry about anything.
She decided to see Lady Annabelle immediately after the mating ceremony ended.
The five waited for Steve to arrive as he steps into his majesty chamber to inform him first.
"Let them in" King Mark respond and continues to sit on his bed.
As soon as Steve steps out the five ladies walked into his chamber and greeted him, "Good morning your majesty."
"Good," he gave a simple nod and signal to them to prepare his bath.
Angela was nervous and didn't raise her head to stare at him
He Instruct, "You!" and she raised head and meet his gaze.
"Come here" he ordered, and they pointed to themselves not knowing who exactly he with.
"Come!" he ordered and Shawn made a move to approach him first, but he shook his head and said, "You and the rest should prepare the bathtub," and Shawn nods and walked away with the rest of the three ladies leaving Angela alone with the King.
Angela didn't dare to raise her head up and stare at him as he stood up from the bed and said, "Come take this towel and you remain in the standing position I Instructed you the previous day."
Angela nods and she approached him and collected his towel from his hands. He signals her, to move away as she was visibly shaking when she collected his towel.
He wants to own her, to claim her, but he knew he couldn't just do that as he would scare her away. So he tried his best to control his beast.
Angela steps into his bathroom first and stood by the standing position he had instructed her. Esther and Shawn kept an angered expression as they saw her standing by the wall, before the could question her, what she stood by the wall doing?, King Mark steps into the bathroom and their gaze on her immediately dropped.
He forward closer to the bathing sink.and he instructed, "You come here?" shawn didn't ask who, she immediately stepped forward and stripped him, just like he instructed her.
He could feel all their hearts beating loudly in the bathing room but he was only interested in the white human facing the wall heart.
Angela swallowed and waited for Esther and the rest of her colleagues to be thru taking his bath. Immediately she heard the sound of the water flushing out as the water drained and the multiple taps filled the bathtub, she heave a sigh of relief.
