The king is a rvpist
Rhea's POV
The chanting and noise coming from outside forced me to wake up.
"He must go! He is a disgusting man" I heard the screams of women outside the packhouse.
I sprang out of bed, looking out my window.
I gasped in shock as I saw women half naked, holding up signs protesting outside the packhouse.
They were in hundreds and it was becoming difficult for the warriors to prevent them from entering the packhouse completely.
"The king is a r*pist. He is an ab*ser, and deserves not to be king. Give us a new king" The women chanted continuously.
I wore a robe on my body, as I rushed downstairs.
I needed to know what was happening.
I had barely walked towards the entrance door, when I saw four warriors guarding the door.
"Let me out," I ordered them.
"I'm sorry Luna, but the King has instructed that no one leaves or enters the packhouse. I'd advise that you go back to your room" a warrior responded, a tone of harshness laced in his voice
"How dare you disobey the Luna?" I questioned him, and he lowered his head.
"What makes you think that you can talk to Luna in that manner? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?" I asked him, and he shook his head aggressively
"I'm sorry Luna" he looked terrified for a second.
"Rhea" I heard my name from behind.
I turned around to see Kayden standing behind me, with a worried look on his face.
He looked like he barely had any sleep last night
I hurriedly went to him, caressing his face, and cupping it in my palm.
"What happened Kayden? What nonsense are those women chanting?" I asked him
He stared blankly at me, unable to say a word.
"Kayden say something please?" I got really scared.
"End that r*pist. He must be banished" The voices of the women became louder with each second that went by.
Something was definitely wrong.
"Go to your room Rhea" he instructed me
"But.." I stammered.
"I said you should go" he ordered me, sounding more commanding this time.
I looked at him, with heavy eyes. I don't know what exactly is wrong with Kayden most of the time.
Today he is very nice to me, and wants to give me all the happiness in the world, and then tomorrow he scolds me like I'm a little child.
Without uttering another word. I went back to my room, and had a long cold shower. With my damp hair, I walked out of the bathroom.
I wouldn't say that I was too surprised to see Alysia waiting outside for me with a towel. However, I was surprised that she didn't have the usual smile on her face.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"It's the king" She responded.
"Did something happen to Kayden?" I asked her, already very worried about him.
"The video just keeps circuating" she sniffed, as though holding back her tears.
"What video?" I lifted an eyebrow.
"You haven't seen the video?" She asked me.
"No" I shook my head.
She reached her hand into her gown's pocket and brought out her phone, showing me the most corrupt video I have ever watched in my life
"Please let me go. Don't kill me please" a girl was begging in the video.
She had tears streaming down her cheeks, and I could clearly see that her dress was stained with blood.
Kayden was seen laying on top of her humping, almost breathless as a result.
"This can't be true" I smacked my palm against my forehead, as I fell on the bed.
"How could he do that to that little girl? I know he loves sex, but to that extent is wickedness?" I screamed.
I was furious at him, and at some point I just felt like joining the women outside to protest.
Only a monster would dare to do such a thing.
"Can I say something Luna?" Alysia permission to speak.
"If what you want to say is in defense of the king, then I would prefer you don't speak at all" I warned her.
"I am sorry Luna but for the first time. I will have to go against your will" she lowered her head.
I turned my face away from her, preparing myself to counter whatever nonsense she was about to spill out in Kayden's defense.
"In all my years of working in the packhouse. There has never been a case where the king forced himself on any of us. Whoever he did something with, would always offer herself willingly" she paused.
And I don't know why, but I felt jealous and angry by the thought of Kayden being with another woman.
"Women throw themselves at the King, even before he became the king. But, he has never forced himself upon a woman. Although he doesn't smile at anyone, the way he cares for, and pampers his younger sister would make anyone jealous. I really see no reason why he would force himself on such a small girl. He is far above that" she defended him, just like I expected her to.
"So, you want me to just disregard this video like that. Kayden has different sides to him. He can be nice today and tomorrow he will turn into a beast. I don't trust him, especially after this video "I frowned, feeling disgusted by the man I married.
"Not everything is as it seems," she replied.
"I agree, but in this case. It is exactly as it seems. Didn't you just watch the video with me?" I asked her and she took a deep breath.
She walked away from me, and rested her hand on the small stool beside the bed.
"What are you doing Alysia?" I asked her, and she remained silent.
"Answer me!" I screamed at her, when she remained silent.
Refusing to repeat myself, I walked towards where she was standing and I grabbed her by the hand.
"Alysia!" I screamed her name, and she fell to the floor, blood dripping from her wrist.
My eyes fell on the small knife in the fruit bowl on the stool.
I picked up the knife as she fell to the floor screaming.
"Help me someone!" She faked a cry, and my heart skipped a beat. What had come over her?
Why was she acting like I had killed her or something?
I leaned over to her on the floor in an attempt to cover her mouth.
"My king!" She bit my hand screaming.
I began to panic at this point, with sweat gathering my forehead. I had so many thoughts running through my mind at the same time.
"Just stop screaming Alysia. Stop!" I screamed back at her, confused about what to do.
I heard footsteps approach the room, as my door was flung open.
