*** four hours into the court session I couldn't stand my ministers anymore, it was the same boring speech and complaints that always made me want to strangle the supervisor who placed the papers on my desk.
*** coupled with my case of insomnia I felt irritated and irked, I hadn't been able to have a proper sleep and rest within the past 2 months, as a pureblooded beast , I didn't necessarily need sleep, but if I stayed without one for long, it often caused my temper to flare, which had often lead me to killing people within the slightest mistake which had recently resulted to the shortage of maids and slaves in the palace, the feeling of being feared by everyone was thrilling, but there were days I couldn't stand one's fragile nature especially when I needed a certain task to be done and instead of focussing on the task , I would find the person whimpering in fear.
*** stop!, I raised my hand to halt the meeting, their argument were beginning to irritate me, I had promised myself not to loose my anger today , if my memory serves me right this particular case of fixing the bridge was brought up three weeks ago so why hasn't the minister incharge of maintenance done anything to fix it , I said fixing my glare to the man, I hated incompetence and delay, I knew I wasn't a good king but had to make sure I fulfill my duties.
*** my king, I had submitted the plan to the minister of finance but I haven't yet received the money came his voice, and I turned my glare to the minister of finance, did you receive his plan?, yes my ki..ng , and why didn't you give him the money, my ki..ng i was only trying to verify the situation before giving out the money, wonderful minister von, for three weeks?, well your head would be the one I would be verifying now, come closer I said , my ki..ng , I said come closer!!, I don't like repeating myself, I watched him walk to me and my blood tingled from the thrill I would be receiving, recently the barbarians of wolves that were trying to cross the boarder were now less, they were always an outlet for my anger, as I enjoyed the feeling of chopping their heads down with my sword in the battle front, and since I hadn't been to war in a while I was beginning to feel restless.
*** a bit closer I said as he now stood an inch away from me, get me a knife I said to the guard standing beside me, and in seconds I was presented with a knife , I stretched my hand as I grabbed his head, placing it on the table I sliced open the middle as blood gushed out of his head, I have now verified your head, I as pushed him aside, we beasts had healing genes, but wounds on the head healed slower than the rest of the body.
*** if I see this complaint on my table by the next court session, your head would be dancing down the floor, I said as I stood up to leave the court room, I walked to the balcony of the court floor to see a carriage stop and Adrian my butler walking out with the supposed new slaves, my eyes swept through them to land at the last one, who looked around curiously not paying any mind to them I turned around to return to my chambers.
**** the carriage halted and the guard opened the door for us to step out, i stepped out to find a completely whole new surrounding to what I was used to, large houses and tall walls designed with the finest materials, the butler who soon came to us , and asked us to follow him, and we walked behind him, as he entered one of the towering buildings, a woman stepped out she looked to be in her early forties, dressed In black dress, wearing a strict look, I was still in the same cloths I wore before the auction and I honestly needed to bath.
*** this are the new girls lady Patricia , train day and assign them to their suituable works the Butler said as he soon vanished, the lady turned to us and soon led us inside the building, I had never seen such beautiful place in my whole life, expensive looking leather chairs, portraits trailed down the hall way, chandelier hung above the ceiling, but I also couldn't miss the aura that oozed off the building, it felt eerie and a bit unsettling.
*** my feet slowly padded down the hall way, as the girls next to me held their head down, but I was always a curious thing to keep my eyes to myself, we soon entered into another segment of the building as I saw maids splattered around working, as they all stoped to steal a look at us.
*** what are your name's came lady Patricia's voice , Madeline I replied, and they other girls also gave out their names, your jobs are not fixated. You are to do whatever your are asked to do, the king's quarters are within the next building, you are only allowed to go there if it falls into the jurisdiction of your work.
*** The king often receives tons of visitors so I would warn you to always be in your best behavior, avoid being noticed if you plan on staying here for long, at the end of the day you will get to know your rooms and duty roll for the week , inability to complete your job was get you killed, am I clear on this?, yes lady Patricia we both chorused, for now fetch those buckets over there and get to work , you will see what the rests of the maids are doing, join them for now.
*** I soon grabbed the buckets as I immediately got to work, I followed the rest of the maids to the rooms that needed cleaning, as I cleaned the floors , I noticed the lack of communications among the maids but it wasn't my bussiness, i just need to keep my head down in order to survive here.
