*GOLDEN EYES*

"Now tell me why are you here?." He questioned her knowing obviously that she couldn't talk because of whatever spell that she was on and he released her from it.

Gasp!

She took in a mouthful of air as her once growing purple face slowly subsided.

This good for nothing master of hers!

Let's see who's going to crack first.

"Speak." He probed, his hand not letting her chin go as she silently glared at him.

"So you won't speak." A devilish grin crawled up his face and Bethany felt her heart drop to the bottom of her stomach.

"Remember, I warned you." He let go of her chin forcefully and placed his foot on her ankle.

Oh no he wouldn't.

Her eyes widened when a sharp pain shot through her leg and she tried to move it away but he added more pressure!

"Let me go you crazy creature!." She couldn't help but speak. The pain was unbearable!. What exactly did she do to him?.

"That's not the answer to my question." The smile on his face was gone and deadpanned looked look replaced it.

"I came here because I was forced to jerk! I'm a freiking slave!." She screamed and everything in the room shook as the windows cracked and Alex stepped back and nodded.

"You passed the test."

Bethany"..."

"Go and take a shower before you end up scaring every dead soul in this castle with your look and smell." She blinked at his rude statement and he walked to the couch to resume his drink.

Smelling? Did he just call her smelling!?.

Now she was definitely going to kill her master.

She stood up carefully so as to not increase the pain in her sprained ankle that was now broken all thanks to someone!. Walking to the bathroom must have been the most horrible thing she experienced as a slave over the past years.

Using the wall as support, she pushed the door open and at that second, she was thankful that she had held the wall.

Where these people growing gold in trees!?

The bathroom was very wide, silver marbeled floor, silver curtains, a large gold mini swimming pool and a standing mirror whose exterior was a mixture of golden and silver as expected.

These people were crazy. Her master was crazy. What's up with the gold and silver?.

Shrugging that off she proceeded to bath but paused as dread washed over her.

Slaves weren't allowed to bathe in their master's room yet here she was.

Was her master planning something? Or was this just a test?.

She shrugged her shoulders again this time more nonchalantly and stripped off the pototoe sack, immersing herself in the cold water soon after.

The cold water splashed against her skin and she hummed softly, mummuring an old song she used to sing to her sister.

She had to find her.

If she remembered correctly, her sister was meant to be a maid at the palace, she prayed that her sister was fine.

After soaking in the water for a while, she washed her hair and body with soap, rinsed herself and turned to look for a towel but there was on there.

Oh no.

This was not happening.

Now it all made sense. He had purposely made her go into the bath knowing fully well that there wasn't a single towel present.

Good move. He won this round.

Glancing at the only cloth she had, a frown registered on her face, there was no way she was getting back in that after feeling so clean like this.

There was only one thing to do.

She walked to the door and opened it a little, popping her hand outside.

"Clothes." She commanded.

On the other side, Alex who looked very uncalm and disturbed got distracted by her ridiculous statement.

You must be kidding me.

"I need clothes, master." It was obvious that she added that last part just to be polite but the message had been passed. This slave was either absolutely crazy or just upright needed some serious discipline.

So he ignored her.

"Master!."

No answer.

"Don't you make me come there." She threatened and he chuckled.

"Trust me when I say that there's nothing you have that I haven't seen." He finally spoke and her face burned.

Her master was such a pervert!.

"I'm sorry master." She reduced the tone of her voice"I know I have been very rude to you and I regret doing that. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me." The way her voice sounded was so hypnotic that she herself almost fell for it.

There was a moment of silence before she heard ruffling sounds and her master's voice.

"Here." He thrust some clothes into her palm and she quickly pulled it back.

Saying sorry was the worst thing she had done today.

Yuck!.

She eagerly unfolded the clothes in her hand and a shocking gasp escaped her lips.

How dare he!.

The cloth was a modern version of her potatoe sack, the only difference being that it was five foot longer!.

She folded her fist tight and glared at nothing in particular.

"Game on."

***

Coming out of the bathroom, she quietly walked to the side of the room and stared at her master who got up and went into the bathroom without saying a single word.

In a few minutes, he was out and he went into the door in the middle of the room and when he came out, Bethany had to pinch herself hard to come back to reality.

He wore a black shirt and black trousers with black gloves that were covered with silver diamonds coupled with black boots as his Siver hair cascaded down his shoulders.

'I refuse to be charmed by your beauty.' She repeated over and over in her head.

"I want to introduce you to the king. Come with me." He informed and she quickly held her chest, her heart beating faster.

The king! She was finally going to meet him!.

He gave her an odd glance as he had heard her heart beat but didn't comment on it.

Bethany prepared herself mentally as they left the room and approached where she will be meeting the king.

She could do this.

They stopped at two large double doors that opened on their own to reveal a long dining table and people seating on it. But one thing that didn't go unnoticed by her was the person that sat on the far end of the table with a crown on his head.

She locked gazed with him and got mesmerised by his golden eyes that looked like they could read her very soul.

"I didn't know that we allowed slaves to the dining Alex?."
