"Let me see your beautiful face, my love." He takes the veil off my face and holds my face with both of his hands making me look directly into his eyes.
"So beautiful." He whispered. He pulled me in close and kissed my forehead, then my eyes, then both of my cheeks, then around my lips. His tongue flicked out and touched grazed my lips.
I started to feel something touching my inner thighs and my eyes widened.
'No no no no, what do I do? How do I stop this? Please someone help me.'
I wanted to cry or move, or do something but I was too scared. It was very quiet like the others had stopped what they were doing and were watching.
My body started to tremble on its own from fright and that seemed to stop the king's advances.
He put his forehead to mine. "Not now but soon, you will be completely mine. Your beauty is very enticing and dangerous. Put your veil back on and go sit back down." He gives me back my veil and I put it back on. I get up and walk back to my spot.
"Baby come with me." The king and the female across from me get up and leave.
I'm still shaking, trying hard not to cry. I take deep breaths to try to calm myself down.
"Don't cry in front of the other, do it when you're alone," Luna speaks up beside me.
I nod my head and finish eating before quickly leaving the others after asking for permission.
I run all the way outside because I had nowhere else to go.
Silver followed me, "Do you want to go to your room for some privacy"?
"Yes please." My voice came out horse from trying to hold back my tears.
I walked beside Silver not paying attention to my surroundings. We stopped in front of a door. I looked at Silver and he nodded so I walked in. I walked in to see an ugly excuse of a bed and curled up on it and cried. I cried for a long time before I heard a knock at the door and Silver spoke up. "It's bath time little female."
"Will the king be there?"
"He is sometimes but tonight he is busy."
"Okay." I slowly get up and walk to the door.
"Will there be anyone else there?"
"The other chosen females."
"I don't want to go."
"May I make a suggestion?" Mmm was Lyria's response. "The days will only get worse so finish today off with a brave face. Wear a mask to hide your true feelings and when you're alone take it off and cry till you feel better. Close your heart so don't feel the pain as much. Do what you must to survive."
"I'm so scared Silver. I miss my family, my home, my life. I don't want to stay here living like this for the rest of my life. I don't want this." I scream/cry out banging my fist on the door. I cry angrily for a little while longer.
"Are you ready to go?" silver asks when he noticed she was quiet.
I open the door, "Yes".
I follow Silver to the washroom. He stops at the entrance and stands against the wall with the other servants.
I walked in and go straight to a tub of water. I strip and get in, also taking my veil off to clean it as well. I wash up quickly before just lying there.
"Are you ok?" The other female I haven't met yet spoke up.
"Yes, sorry it took a little longer to calm myself down."
"It's fine but try to get here on time it's very important you remember this."
"I'll do my best to remember that the next time I'm about to be raped in front of everyone." My voice rose as I spoke.
"Still, the king comes in here sometimes so it would be wise if you were on time so you don't get punished. We may be considered the King's favorites but as you saw today, we still get punished. If Luna wasn't pregnant, she would've been the one to get whipped instead of her cub." She then gets out of the tub, dries off, and leaves.
I sink under the water frustrated. I won't stay here. I'll find a way out eventually.
Soon after, I get out, dress, and head back to my room with Silver's help.
"I have to report to the king so I'll be back in a bit."
"Are you going to tell him that I was crying?"
"Honestly, he doesn't care, so you have nothing to worry about. As long as it's in secret and not in front of the males you'll be okay."
He left and I was alone. Today was long and draining and I couldn't wait to go to sleep.
