Not a Slave!!!

Chapter 26

*Alastair Pov*

I glanced at the table which has some papers, but I do not know completely what are they about. I cannot see whether we are in more need of the livestock and the farming or we are in less.

Then my eyes followed the woman who is pacing infront of the table holding a few papers with deep concentration lurking in her eyes. It's been two days since I touched her as per her wish and also only I am uttering the words, but she is saying the things that are relating only to the Kingdom.

I sighed, making her throw a half glance at me before staring back at the work she is doing and started writing down. She called for the Minister and he appeared within minutes.

"Send this message to King Vali by someone trusted." She ordered and he nodded before leaving.

King Vali know everything but I do not know anything. I sighed again and this time she glanced at me directly with no work to do.

"Are your wounds healed?" She questioned.

"Yes! Is there something to do?" I questioned, raising to my feet.

"You can have a look at the Kingdom to know about it if you wish." She replied and I nodded before leaving the room.

I tugged the tunic and breeches a little feeling the irritation with the silk threads they have been made off. I wish to remove these all and wear some normal clothes.

After a long walk around the Kingdom I can see that the security is major than I have ever seen which explains for the failure Nadir has endured for entering inside this Kingdom.

When I walked back deciding to change the apparel's to remove the sweat, I saw Colton waiting for me on the stairs.

"How is your new position, Your highness?" he questioned with a tease.

"Do you want to know the truth?" I questioned him back with him standing on the stairs and me standing before him.

"Yes! It is bad for a King to lie." He replied with raised eyebrows.

"It has been hell! I am feeling like I got placed into a small box with which I cannot do anything at all." I replied.

"What? Come on! It must be not that bad." He uttered in confusion.

"It is more than bad. For a matter take these clothes. I cannot wear these royal ones and want to wear normal clothes. I sit in that workroom, not knowing what to even do and then the bed is not comfortable, making me toss for half of the time." I continued to rant and he just stared at my face.

"Ok! Why don't you tell her about these things?" He questioned.

"How could I? When we threw our ways at her, she accepted them without making a protest. I will get used to these clothes and for now I am lying on the floor. As for the workroom I get to stare at her face, which is enough for me." I replied sighing.

"Ok! It's been nice sharing words with you. I will take my leave." He uttered before passing me and walked away in a rush making me frown.

"Can we talk?" I heard a question from behind making me understand why he ran away.

"Yes!" I replied and she walked passed me climbing the stairs while I followed her.

She stepped inside the chamber and I closed the door to see her standing near the racks and pulling out a few clothes. Then she walked back near to me and placed those clothes on the bed.

"Remove your tunic." She in a way ordered and I stared at her in confusion with which she started removing it by herself.

"Now wear this." She murmured placing a different tunic in my hands after removing the tunic carefully not touching my skin.
