HIS BETROTHED

chap 2

Regina did not have time to process what was said as cold water ran down her body startled she woke up and was met with eyes that showed nothing but immense hatred it was the master of the low caste .

She rose immediately and removed the sandals from her feet .no low caste was permitted to wear sandals where thier master stood .it was a sign of challenge and utter disrespect . With her head bowed low and sandals in her feet she trembled. The master took a deep breath and relaxed not seeing her as a threat anymore " it is good that you remember your place in the world slave ! " he spat venom lacing each word

"master I - - -" " who asked you to speak? "after that sentence she knew it was better to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to escape being beaten . He looked her up his eyes lingering on her breasts . " you are the one they call commanders little bed whore in waiting " he said .

Regina felt insulted how dare he! . Insolent man ! but she wasn't about to make the mistake of saying it to his face so swallowing her pride she said " I am master " " very well then seeing that you are no longer a child in his eyes . The commander has payed the price for you . You will perform a dance for him tonight and he will make love to you as he pleases you must be ready " he said and left . Her world came crumbling down .

Make Love to her? Love? No that was not the truth the truth is that he will take away the only thing that made her feel human and complete her chastity .

He will take it all away from her and she would have to give it to him willingly.

She has heard stories of how the commander bedded his bed slaves before her . He took them without mercy , he wasn't a very gentle man .

He took without giving , without care . In one of the stories she heard one of his former bed slave took in with his child , she was so happy that the commander was going to make her become one of his many mistresses or join his harem women but she was so wrong , immediately she told him the news a dagger was put through her heart .

If he could do that to the woman that was with his child what will happen to her . Poor miserable her .

She couldn't control her wails as her tears fell freely without restrictions. " Regina . The master has ordered us to dress you for tonight . " she looked up at the faces of the other maids and jealousy and anger flooded through her body.

After today her dreams to one day find a decent man , get married , have children, and live peacefully on the hill side would go down the drain . Because no sane man in their right mind would ever think of marrying a used property .

They have hope of one day breaking out of slavery but her oh poor her would forever be stuck with the title " the high commanders bed slave" and nothing more.

She continued mourning her freedom as they dressed her up expensively to the standard of gracing the commanders bed . After dressing her up they hurriedly left the room eager to get away from her without as much as a goodbye .

Soon her mourning became whimpering as she soon started accepting fate. She looked at the mirror and stared at her self . Her beauty was deceptive so vain and yet so innocent. Will he take pity on her ?

Her thoughts ended when the master entered " it is time whore! He is with important guests I advise you for your sake to behave he is not a merciful person . Any mistake may just be your last. " those words knocked the air out of her . It kept repeating itself in her head .

"any mistake made may just be ur last !" she followed the master out of the comfort of her room like a lamb following to the slaughter house . The only difference was that she was walking to her own slaughter house willingly.

The moment she entered the hall the room became quiet . She stood in the center of it with her head raised high above everyone. She didn't want to see those sickly men looking at her with lust filled eyes . She didn't want to see the face of the man that was audacious enough to want to bed her . She didn't want any of them to have the grace of seeing her weakness for she loathed every .single.one.of . Them.

"pray tell commander what prize you have won for yourself she is far more beautiful than any of your women "

"i wonder what she will feel like warming your bed "

"she looks innocent but we all know women like her would willingly open her legs "

"surely this people kept the best for the last "

Her head filled with thier vain comments . His guests were as disgusting as he.

" tell us girl. How much do you worth we can pay you higher if you agree to share with us what the commander wants for himself" she knew they would ask that of her .she had rehearsed the answer all over and over again." I appreciate your kindness sir but my body is meant to please my commander . He may do to me as he wishes"

She could sense the commander swell with vain pride as people cheered.

He stood and came close to her looking at her all over ,she could see pure lust in his eyes , he took her hair and inhaled it's scent then said "what is your name whore?"

She felt disgusted above and beyond repair . She loathed him yet she couldn't move away or push him away if she did he will kill her . " Regina sir.... Regina samore." his grin turned evil and Regina swallowed hard .

His hands moved to places she couldn't allow any one to touch .she felt dirty ...so very dirty.

"kneel whore " he said and she moved to obey .his friends kept cheering him on kept laughing .

She was almost on her knees when a voice so commanding that it shook the grounds of the very room they stood said

" move lower than that commander and I assure you that your people won't be able to recognize your dead body".

She looked at the commanders face and found it frightened covered with fear . He looked pale and his face lost all the color he once had just a moment ago . He looked like he was looking at death in the eyes.

The person that can make the proud commander be this afraid surely deserves a trophy.

Frightened the commander exclaimed " King vermol ".
