he did as order, he took her away while she kept pleading, chain cared less, he went on with his men.
Zara and her men kept riding their horses as fast as they could, she saw chain and his men
in a far distance coming towards their direction.
“We can’t get caught by chain, you, she pointed at a witch that was with them, use your magic and get us out of her, the witch uses her magic to open a portal which they all went in, the portal close up before chain got there.

“please let us do our job or the king will behead us all,one of the maids spoke.
“why are you all afraid of him like he’s a God.
“we have to do what he say in order to survive, Morgana notice they were bowing their heads facing down.
“all of you head’s up.
“we cannot look you in the face, the king warn us never to look an alpha.
“are you all omegas?

“calm down lois, don’t let the king hear you.
“what’s so special about her anyway.
“beauty, that is what’s special about her, you know how much the king cherish beautiful woman’s.
“so are we going to continue keeping quiet just because the king loves her.
“a piece of advice, don’t cross her path, the king won’t think twice before killing you, since you are here while not join me in arranging the weapons.
Morgana was sitting in the dining table facing the king in the opposite side, she was so beautiful that he can’t take his eyes off her.
“you are so beautiful.
“i Know, you don’t have to remind me.
“i love your kind, you are bold and fearless,no woman dares talk back at me.
