The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

A knock interrupted my sleep.

I sat up on the bed.

I should have been more vigilant when I was in an enemy's territory. I just let myself go like that. I messed up terribly.

I didn't spend more time beating myself up mentally though. I have been going through a rollercoaster ride since I came to this planet.

My body was just taking an advance on what it was owed. It liked taking action whenever I starve myself of rest and other basic things. I rose to my feet and stretched.

Sunlight streamed into the room through the single window in the room.

The bedroom was made with utility in mind.

The room had a bed, a small couch and a round table filled with packaged food. A small dresser was beside the bed. New clothes was on it.

A chair was beside the round table. The chair was created with the materials used in making the table.

A small bathroom was in the rightmost corner of the room.

I checked it yesterday before going to sleep. It had the basic necessities.

I yawned and walked to the door.

I unlocked the door and pulled it open.

Maol was behind the door.

All the good feelings that accompanied me as I rose from my slumber hid away.

Today was a new day and I have to follow Maol out.

The realization wasn't pretty.

"Good morning." I greeted in a nonchalant voice.

Maol didn't mind my awful tone.

"Morning. Get ready in ten minutes. I will wait here. We have to leave soon, the morning court is about to begin." Maol said.

I nodded.

I shut the door right after.

I had a time constraint.

I hurried up.

I dashed into the bathroom and freshened up.

Within minutes, I was done.

I came back to the room and dressed up.

I discovered the absurdity of the clothes Maol provided when I wore them.

I didn't observe those clothes closely before. I didn't want to think too much.

The two-piece outfit was sheer and it was almost weightless.

The material used in making the clothes was some kind of light material.

The top didn't cover much area.

It only kept my chest from public view.

My shoulders, neck, arms and bellybutton were exposed.

The skirt wasn't any better.

It had a inner short under the flowing material. The main body of the skirt was a flowing design.

The outfit was purple.

It contrasted nicely with my skin. I have to admit that.

Still, the clothes was too provocative.

This was outside the range of clothes I wear.

I have no other choice though.

The number of times I adjusted the clothes didn't matter, it remained what it was, a skimpy two-piece outfit.

I stopped my vain attempts to adjust my outfit.

I took a few bites of the remaining food on the table leisurely.

Another knock sounded.

My ten minutes should be up.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I drank the half filled bottle of water and straightened up.

"Are you done, Edna?" Maol's voice was muffled because of the thick door.

"Yes. I am coming!" I replied.

I closed the distance between the bed and the door quickly.

I opened the door and walked out.

Maol's eyes scanned my figure appreciatively.

I tried to keep my cool.

His gaze was like a cumulation of all the strangest stares ever. It made my skin crawl.

Goosebumps rose on the surface of my skin.

My hand tugged at the flimsy top again. My fingers pulled it down.

"Let's go." Maol said.

He brought me to the back entrance Tekita used.

A flying machine was parked near the back entrance.

Maol pressed the flat bracelet on his wrist.

The flying vehicle flashed with light twice.

"Get into the hovercraft." Maol instructed.

He opened the door to the hovercraft and entered the compartment inside.

The hovercraft was luxurious.

The sleek silver body gleamed and sparkled.

I copied his actions and went in.

The interior of the hovercraft was small.

It had three seats.

One seat was at the front and the last two were at the back.

I went for the back seat.

Maol sat in the driver's seat before closing the hovercraft's doors.

He started the engine and flew out of the auction house's surroundings.

I didn't want to stare at Maol or his sleek hovercraft.

Thankfully, there was a window beside my seat.

I settled my eyes on the scenes outside the window.

The scenery outside the window blended into a mixed color background because of Maol's speed.

He was in an hurry.

Watching the buildings, people and structures fly by acted like some kind of therapy.

My tense nerves received a little bit of calmness.

I don't know how much time was spent but the hovercraft finally stopped moving.

Maol alighted.

He waited patiently for me to get down from the hovercraft too.

Maol's hovercraft was in an open air parking space.

The parking space was near a majestic building.

The building resembled the castles I have seen in some of the nonfiction books I read to relieve boredom at the base.

It was awe-inspiring and huge. It covered huge amounts of land space.

This should be some kind of palace. It was highly likely that the King of this capital and the aliens lives here.

I did not have time to savor the appearance of this castle. Maol began to move.

Huge double doors were at the entrance to the castle.

Stern men stood guard at the entrance.

Their clothes were as ordinary as the word itself but their aura spoke for them. They didn't look like an average civilian at all.

Maol bowed a little before walking into the depths of the castle.

I kept Maol in sight.

His pace was too fast and I had to jog to keep up with him.

He didn't look back at me once.

Still, I knew that once I stopped catching up, his attention would settle on me.

I don't want to be dragged to our destination.

The way Maol behaved today scared me a little. It was better to not get on his bad side.

Various eyes landed on me.

I clenched my teeth and pushed on.

The way some men looked at me was disgusting to say the least.

If I thought Maol's stare was disgusting, being in these men's sights was the height of it all.

My skin tightened and the previous goosebumps came back.

Maol didn't care about my uncomfortable feelings though.

Maol weaved through the complicated terrain inside the castle with obvious ease.

He stopped in front of an intricate door.

The reliefs on the door was coated with gold. It sparkled in the dancing rays of the sun.

A guard in uniform was beside the door.

"Good morning, Jon." Maol greeted the guard cheerfully.

"Is she one of the tributes to the king?" Jon's face was stuff and his words were cold.

Still, he was softer than the first time I saw him.

The first impression he gave me was a man of strict morals.

Maol nodded, "Yes. I want her to stay here with the other tributes and gifts. I will send a message to you when it is time for her to come out." "Okay." Jon responded.

He opened the door and gestured to me with his jaw.

I strode into the room.

Jon began to close the door the moment I went in.

In the gap of the closing door, I saw Maol's leaving back.

The words Maol exchanged with Jon finally dawned on me.

I was going to be a tribute to the King of aliens.

It was bad news.

I don't know how he looks and his character was unknown. I was playing with fire.

With the way I am dressed, it was obvious that I would not be given to the King to be the Queen by his side.

The highest position I can think of right now was a bedwarmer or a concubine with no status.

I would rather be a farm slave.

I don't want to have any intimacy with a man I didn't approve. I wanted that kind of intimacy between my lifelong partner and I only, no other person.

Oh boy.

"Are you one of the tributes?" A small voice asked.

It jolted me from my thoughts.

I scanned the room I was in.

Three girls were sitting on the floor. Three of them were staring at me.

They had exposing clothes on their bodies too.

From the question I was asked, it was obvious that these girls were a tribute to the King too.

It was another thunderous news.
