The Forced Maiden For The Cursed Alpha King by Josephine Ivy

Chapter 186

Sabrina’s POV:

The salve had a minty feeling to it, cooling down my skin. I stared off into the distance at an expensive oil painting handing on the wall. And I wondered what made the king choose that painting. Was it a gift? Did he buy it? Or did lady Nifra choose

1 sat on his bed, my gown off my shoulders and bunched at my hips, one of his shirts pressed to my naked chest, he rubbed a cooling salve into my back, his fingers firm and gentle.

“Does it hurt?” He asked, his voice deep behind me.

“No,” I replied. “Lady Nifra healed me”

The cuts were gone and the blood had be washed off. But there were still some welts on my back.

“The people that did this, I’m going to kill them.”

1 turned to the king. There’s no way he just said that. “What?”

“I will kill them. For hurting you.” He said.

Oh my. Lady Nifra wasn’t joking when she said he would do that

I laughed uncasily and pressed the shirt tighter in my chest. “Your majesty, that’s unnecessary.

Lady Nifra had helped me down the tree trunk after she announced to those women that I was the king’s beloved. The harem girls expressed varying degrees of shock and disbelief. And I wasn’t going to lie, I felt a bit embarrassed that she just outed me that way.

“And she used them on the guards too!” The other said.

“That’s a lie!” One of the girls stepped forward. “Well, lady Nifra it isn’t exactly a lie ”

“Yes?” Lady Nifra prompted.

“Sabrina only used that because Blair was being mean to all of us! She tortured us and didn’t allow us to leave. We couldn’t even speak out.”

Lady Nifra was shocked. “You two! How could you?!”

“Lady Nifra it wasn’t out fault!”

“And besides, this whole thing about her being the king’s beloved. Are you sure? She is a slave ”

“Am
