The Lost Princess Of The Lycans Chapter 73: Everything Is Trashed
King Rays POV
After Caleb took her to the dungeon, I walked around the palace. I was very upset about what I saw. The place was falling down. There wasn't a room that didn't need repair. The main hall was a mess. There were naked servants trying to clean it. But it was in need of a deep cleaning. I could not believe that the people had no clothes on.
What kind of kingdom was he running? If he was still alive, I would kill him again. I then took Sarah by the hand and went back to the main hall. I ordered all the people into the hall. Sarah and I were sitting on the throne. When 7 men came up, they looked well-fed and strong. That told me that they were probably the king's strongest warriors. That angered me. I knew they were lycans. But they stayed in human form.
They had various weapons. They were standing in front of us. Hitting their weapons against their hands. I just smiled. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Sarah scoot back out of harms way. Caleb was back from the dungeon by then and came and stood at my side. We didn't need to shift into our wolves. I jumped off the platform and landed a punch to one of them. I then grabbed the knife and stabbed him.
The handle burned my hand, which ment that it was silver. I then spun around and stabbed a couple more. Caleb was handling his own against a couple of them. By the time the fight was over there ws only three men alive. They were injured. I helped tie them up and ordered Caleb to take them to the dungeon. He did as he was told.
I then ordered the remaining people of mine to pitch their tents outside on the palace grounds. I then got my cell phone out of my pocket and called my kingdom and ordered that 100 warriors be there in the morning. Looking ove4r the entire crowd. I wanted to address them tomorrow. Half of them looked like they were starving. I wanted to get them fed. Tomorrow I am going to walk around the whole kingdom, starting here at the palace. I will address the people in the morning.
Sarah and I went to the kitchen. Where we ran into the cook. She was an older lady. She was jolly and plump.
"What's your name?" I asked.
" My name is Molly," she stated.
"Nice to meet you," I said.
" This is Mike, my personal cook. You and he will be working together," I stated.
I was expecting her to have some objection, but she was really happy about it. Mike went dir4ectly to the storage rooms. Also, he went to the cabinets and rummaged through them as well.
" These cabinets are pretty stocked, your majesty," he stated.
" Good is there enough ingredients to make a meal for everyone in the kingdom?" Ray asked.
" Yes your majesty," he replied.
Molly and Mike went to work making food for everyone. The warriors that I brought with me, myself and Sarah, started sitting up tables. I then ordered everyone to go get some bowls and plates. There was a line at least eight miles long. It was pretty late by the time everyone got through the line. But everyone got fed. Mike and Molly had made an excellent meal.
Sarah then decided to go find a room suitable for us to sleep in. I had my doubts that she would find one. She returned moments later saying that she had found one. It must have been the old king and queen's room. She already had the servants changing the sheets. Also, washing the bathroom and cleaning the room.
Sarah and I went to the office that every palace had. There were piles of paperwork. There was a light on. I went around the desk and to my surprise there was an older lady there. Again half dressed. She was working on the paperwork and trying to enter it into the computer. That wasn't right.
" Excuse me, ma'am," I stated.
The older lady jumped. She looked terrified.
"I'm so sorry your majesty," she stated.
" Please don't beat me." she stated.
That enraged me. I could feel Nash starting to push against the barrier.
"I'm not going to beat you," I stated.
" You need to go see my people and get some clothes, then go get something to eat," I stated.
Sarah was almost in tears. She knew what it was like to be abused. This brought up memories for her. From what I can tell, this was very triggering for her.
" Baby you need to go to rest," I stated.
She just simply shook her head. She left the room. I began sorting out the paperwork. I started rubbing my head when I got a stabbing pain in my stomach. Something was wrong.
" Sarah is in trouble," Nash stated.
I jumped up and ran to the sleeping quarters. Sure enough, a girl had just stabbed Sarah. She was leaning against the wall. She was stabbed in the stomach. The girl that stabbed her was trembling. I quickly picked Sarah up and headed to the hospital. Doctor Bernard was there going through the medical files. I burst through the door.
He quickly jumped up and ran toward me. He took her from me and ran into a room. He came out of the room several moments later.
" She was stabbed." he stated.
" She lost a lot of blood. But the pups are fine. She is stable." he stated.
Just as he finished updating me, the machines in Sarah's room started going off. She woke up and is upset. Both of us rushed into the room.
" My babies, are they OK?" she asked.
" Rest now, my love," I stated.
" Are my babies OK?" she asked again.
She is starting to get really upset. Doctor Bernard grabs a syringe full of valium. He injects it into her IV. She quickly falls back to sleep.
" She needs to rest while she heals." Dr. Bernard states.
" I agree." I state.
He leaves us and I pull up a chair. She must have slept for a long time. I hear movement and I know she's awake again.
" Easy now, little mate," he stated.
" Are my babies OK?" I asked.
"Yes, they are fine, but you lost a lot of blood," he stated.
" The knife that stabbed you was made of silver," he stated.
