Not a Slave!!!

Chapter 6

*Alastair Pov*

After stepping into my hut, I shoved her away from me and locked the door. I glanced around to see that everything is cleaned, even in my absence.

"How could you drag me here infront of those people and how could you say that I am your slave?" I heard the lass questioning taking a step towards me.

"You are my Slave and I can do anything with you as I wish." I replied lying on the cot while she paced before me.

"I am leaving from here. I am no one's slave and I do not wish to be here." She mumbled nodding her head.

"But you wished to be that Ramsey's slave. I know that I am little better than him so you need not worry that much." I retorted to which she just threw daggers at me with her eyes.

"And I too do not wish to have you as my slave. I did not want to get your life sacrificed for my people and that is just the reason for my words." I added yawning.

"Why would my life be sacrificed? As far as I remember I didn't take the life of your King or any good man of yours." She uttered with a frown.

"No! But they all looked forward to see the torture of Ramsey with their eyes and it did not happen because of you. So, they would have shown the anger of that on you and they will in the future too, but they can't harm your life as you are mine." I gave a small explanation.

"So do not step outside without me if you love your life." I added before closing my eyes.

"You acclaimed that you are the future ruler of Nadir." She suddenly mumbled making me frown this moment.

"Yes!" I mumbled thinking about what did she got in her mind at this point.

"But how can the King be the father of Gavin?" She questioned and I sighed.

"King is not my Father, but I will be taking his throne after he steps down." I replied not wanting to tell her anything about our lives.

"How can that be possible? Gavin is the rightful ruler after him, right?" She continued to question.

"No! As I am more capable of being a King, I am going to be honored with the ruling. Before Teodor my grandfather is the King, but my Father was not a capable person for the ruling so Teodor got the title." I explained hoping that she stops with her questions.

"Who is Jacey? Your wife?" She suddenly questioned glancing around.

"No! She is the princess of Nadir." I replied with patience.

"Now I understand how you are capable of being the King. If you wed the princess then you will be the King right." She mumbled making me open my eyes and meet her smirk.

I immediately stood up and stepped towards her mumbling "Do not question something which I am getting after the work I have been doing for years. If Colton was capable he would have been chosen. And I do not want to marry that Princess."

"I want to leave from here." She uttered ignoring my words.

"You can't! Get used to live here and try to not get trouble on your head." I mumbled, taking the gallon to drink the water.

"What am I hearing, Alastair?" We heard a voice interrupting our words of exchange.

We both turned to see Jacey standing near the door with her folded arms, throwing a confused look at me while a dirty look at the lass.

"Lass, she is Jacey and Jacey this is my Slave." I gave an introduction of each other.

"I am not a Slave." Lass mumbled and added for both of us "I am Bhairavi."
