Chapter 4

Immediately he walked away, I felt a source of energy surging through me. His soldiers took a glance at me and i didn't like that malicious gaze they gave to me. It was quite threatening.

I gulped hard not trying to show my fear as the maids assembly themselves once again, and I just wouldn't get used to their coordination.

The ship whirls up as it blew space dust in the air. I felt drawn to it but clenched my teeth, weak and dizzy.

"Hey girl, join the cue!" A grievous and striking voice called out to me. It seems like the chief of maids. I'd never forget how disturbing her voice was.

I found myself inside the castle. I didn't even noticed the v'rek were gathered here but nevertheless, I didn't want to feel shaken by their intimidating appears.

They creep me out, aliens. Here, in the palace, they were having a feast, to celebrate his success. I found myself standing around the pillar, watching and monitoring the keys every moves.

They were barbarians though and showed some salvage acts. Since I felt less important here, I intended to leave but then a tray was placed in my hand.

"Serve the king" the chief maid muses retracting her footsteps from me. I saw the king on his throne, no smiles, his stern and terrifying look that could make anyone dig their grave.

Now I understood what he meant by me serving him. I threw my gaze at a human who was standing at the other end of the pillar. She was playing the harps with bleeding fingers. She gave me a nod and I understood that.

I gulped hard as the tray shook in my hand, I was terrified, walking up to him. The place he sat was above the ground and it took lunch for me not to miss a step.

He was on his throne, his pearl throne which stood out among everyone in the arena.

Merely approaching him invoke fear. I gnashed my teeth, glancing at the guards kept at every corner. If he makes a distressing grunt from the drink I offer, my head was gone for it.

I folded my lips and stretched the tray at him, with hate, disgust and panic.

He had almost held the cup when suddenly, a robotic dog ran across my leg and I almost slipped but fortunately, he was holding on to me.

I growled as my body sway closer to his and I bang on his chest. My breath was fast, as I felt his slimy hand on me. He magical held the cup from falling, his other arm settled around my butt and I flinched.

Our eyes locked and I was becoming sweaty despite the cold lurking around in this place.

We were in public and I guess the guards would be pointing their weapons on my face. Surprisedly, they weren't but rather concentrated on their merriment.

"Watch your step" he mutters searching my eyes and I nodded breaking out of his grip and trying to regain my breath. Before I could take a step downward, he made me halt.

"Sit at my footstool, human" he orders softly and I widened my eye. I didn't want to stay closer to him. I hesitated but then comply with his order.

"Yes your lord" I replied still not wanting to suffice "my" into the courteous honor.

I gave a slight bow even though I was tired of that, but just to accord respect among his subjects I have to do it.

Deep in my heart I calculated the time for his slumber so when the party would end. Atlas, it ended and my eyes were still striking by the scenerio.

In this events, I saw the v'rek soldiers display their muscular strength, their agility and speed. They were like demigods having so much powers I couldn't fanthom for. However, the next event struck me.

I could see some humans being dragged in, bounded with chains and weeping. They were in tears, grieved and agonized. I wondered what their offense was.

"They tried escaping through the magnetic field" one of the soldiers explains and I shuddered staring at the child who was dazing her gaze at me.

I pant softly and rolled my eyes to the king, he wasn't looking at me any more but concentrating on the prisoners brought forth.

"Blast them off!" He ordered and I quickly shut my eyes, quivering and hurt to witness the merciless murdering of my kind.

This was enough reason to kill him, he never considered even the children or their constant beg for mercy. Then I suddenly felt his presence closer to where I sat. My eyes were empty of vision and my heart cried.

He leaned his ear closer to mine and whispered.

"This is what happens to people who go against my laws, I hope you're one"

His voice jolt me into motion and I felt his hot breath fanned my neck. I shouldn't quvier but that was more like a warning message.

I had no idea why heart flusters at that intense and deep voice of his. When he pace down, his long flowing robe sweep the ground. The only thing I heard was his retracting footsteps. He was leaving the celebration halfway.

I guess he was feeling weak from the potion in his drink and didn't want to show it to his people.

Immediately he was gone, I stood up and stomped out. I stopped in my room to get the necessary gadgets I need to murder him tonight. I brought out a Hansel blister ion blade, something to make him scream in pain, some iron blizz.

I couldn't watch his reign so anything cruel again.

I wore a black dress like a knight, making sure my face wasn't visible as I placed a mask on it. Furthermore I dashed out of my room and headed for his chambers. As I approached my destination, my movement suddenly became tactical.

They were two guards securing the main entrance and two others trolling around the hallway, no doubts the chambers were heavily guarded. This king that I am still yet to know his name must be a tough one.

I thought of the easiest way to get pass the alerted guards, and the only thing I could think of was knocking them out. I was snappy and managed to take them unawares. They were all on the floor like sleeping babies.

Thanks to the flash grenade that came in handy.

I was expecting to stumble upon a king who is prepared for an intruder's invasion. However, he was a human sleeping peacefully on the soft bed. He seemed to be having a peaceful sleep.

He laid up on his back with his shirt off. I drew closer to him gently and got lost staring. His broad chest rose gently due to his calm breathing. His six abs were thick and amazing to look at. An envy thought began to linger inside my mind as my eyes stared below his waist. Yes, he was attractive and so dashing that I couldn't help but stare.
