A little more than a minute went by before the door to the room was opened again and Beta Lewis walked in, he didn't comment once on what happened he just walked over toand held his hand out forto take.

He whispered, “let's get you back to your room." We walked a little before I finally said something he wasn't expecting. Thank you." My voice was strained from the pressure my neck endur it I managed to talk. He looked a little stunned but I did have to thank him. “Thank you for persuading the kinmy own room." He smiled as he helpedup the stairs, half my weight was on him as he half carriedup "I just wish I could do more." He said, honesty laced in every word. "The king isn't the nicest man. I'm not even sure if he is capable of loving anyone, including his mate. You have a very hard life ahead of you." Once we made it to my room he saton my bed, and gota small cup of water, which I eagerly accepted. "Try and get ssleep, you will be getting presented to the entire world later, and you kinda look like crap." He chuckled causingto smile, Ok so maybe I will have a ally here, Lewis is a ok man, and I need all the help I can get. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to survive in this place.
He lowered his head slightly bowing before leavingto my thoughts. I climbed out of my destroyed green dress and curled up on the soft mattress in just my panties, we didn't wear bras anymore you see, it wasn't part of the humans uniform. Not that I have a uniform anymore.
I wanted to sleep so badly but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Every tI closed my eyes I remembered where I was, and what could happen toif I so much as shut off for a second.
A few hours went by and I just lay there, staring up at the ceiling. I fidgeted a lot. My lack of sleep causing my body to move to get comfortable, but my mind was too active. Eventually the staff appointed to me, walked in. They cto getready and I didn't fight them, I was too tired, and it was inevitable anyway, so I simply let them do whatever the wanted.
The dress I was placed in had a similar silhouette to the last one. It was a navy blue color and this thad long sleeves, the fabric also covered my neck makingthink the king had bruised it badly. It's funny how my school wantedto parade my scar around while the royal family want to conceal it for as long as possible.
Next was my make up, they roughly wiped the makeup from before off my face and covered it with a fresh design. Once I was done they guidedto the floor length mirror.

My eyes were red and very bloodshot from being strangled. Severe bruising could be seen just poking out the top of my high neck dress. The bruises oh my face from yesterday were covered with makeup but you could definitely tell there was swelling there, and everything about my face and body screamed physical and mental exhaustion.
"You look beautiful, your grace." I didn't say a word I simply nodded when a knock was heard. My m personal escort then entered the room to collect me. I nodded to him and began walking. Despite the queens warning I still slipped my old shoes on instead of the heels, before wandering out of the room.
