Aides (COMPLETED)

Twenty

"Kore? The king has requested for your presence" Helius entered my room.

"So soon?" I pout playfully. He and his men pulled me from my chair and escorted me into the King's room. They pushed me in and locked the door behind me.

I rolled my eyes as I notice the two naked women lounging in his bed. One of them was they annoying mistress from earlier.

"What kind of whore room is this? " I scoff, disgusted at the scene. The king retreated from the bathroom, fuming with anger.

"What is this I hear about you refusing to put on the dress?" he frowned, demanding for an explanation.

"You have misheard" I smile pridefully.

"Put on the dress" he snaps as two servants lay it across my chest.

"No" I fume, pushing them away. I see his frustration as he seethed at my defiance. "Will you turn into a demon if you do not get your way?" I ask sarcastically, taking a seat in one of his chairs.

He walks towards me and pulled my arm, yanking me from my comfort. "What do I have to do in order for you to listen!?" He roared.

"Release me to earth!" I whispered into his lips. Although I had formed a gusto over the course of an hour, I still feared him. Scared of what he would turn into or do to me.

He chuckled silently and pulled my chin against his palm.

"And why would I do a foolish thing like that Kore?" he grumbled against my lips. His face looked more handsome than ever, "If I release you to earth, you will die. Once you breath it's air,you will be nothing more than a walking corpse. Don't you understand you are dead?"

"No I am not!" I yell defiantly. Each girl gasped as they heard my outburst. No one dared backtalk the king. He pinched the bridge of his nose and smoothed his hair back.

"You are my contract and your payment to live was life in the underworld, forever with me." He growled, annoyed at my stubbornness.

He finally released my arm and sat in a loungechair in front of his bed , watching me hungrily. The two girls climbed behind him and started attacking his neck.

"What an insult to you my mighty king. Any woman would be blessed to marry you" Minthe glared hatefully. How she wished it was her being measured for the wedding dress.

"I can tell by your cheap robes and desperate aura that you are not a goddess. How dare you talk to me as if we share the same title? You are a mere nymphe who likes attention from a deity. He said it himself; he will never marry a mortal. He has been sleeping with you with no promise of a future" I read her to filth.

Her mouth flew agape as she heard my words .

"It is out of selfish desire that I pray he marry you instead of I"

The King's eyes creased with intrigue at my outburst. I knew he was surprised at my witty retort and waited patiently for her response.

She pulled away from his neck and walked over to me. "How dare you... you ignsignificant, pompous girl"

"*Goddess" I corrected her.

"My king! She has disrespected you long enough! Take her away!" she whispered into his ear, loud enough for me to hear.

He tilted his head as he listened to her speak. "You dare order me to do your bidding?" He snapped.

"No my king! Never" she began to unravel.

"Your heart is so full of jealousy. You knew to send me to Tartarus to die. I accepted your kindness but was blinded by your jealousy" I finally call her out, "To stand here and defend yourself as if you had no plan to my demise is a sin in itself"
