The Beast Beauty's
CHAPTER 42.

Arumeey cleaned the place to eat and took drugs.

"Open!"

"Open?. You want to harass me when I'm helpless!"

"You're this!. Your mind is too dirty sir. I'll clean your wounds. Get your clothes off!"

King Shaka just stared at Arumeey while undressing him.

"Your injuries are still very terrible. Actually, what happened sir?. Who's trying to wipe you out?" Arumeey asked while applying the medicine.

"Akhc. It's sad."

"Hold it. This medicine helps your wounds dry quickly. I made it myself" Arumeey spoke unknowingly.

"You made it?" king Shaka was curious.

"Right sir. I learned from my grandmother." she stuttered.

"I was on my way with my personal bodyguard and also some soldiers. When we arrived in the middle of the forest, a group of criminals attacked us."

"Really?. You sure?"

"I experienced it, of course I'm sure. Why are you asking that?"

"Master. Actually, i... "

"What's wrong?. Why are you quiet?"

"No. Rest up. Your wounds are done I'm wrapped. I'll take the blanket."

Arumeey rose up and brought with him the clothes of his Majesty the king which were very dirty and smelly. Arumeey then took a clean blanket and covered the body of king Shaka.

"Rest sir."

Arumeey turned off the lights and went into her room.

...................

In the morning, Arumeey wakes up and rushes to the bathroom. At first glance he saw the bed of king Shaka. The man was still asleep in his dreams.

Arumeey immediately cleaned himself up and put on his mask. After finishing from the bathroom, Arumeey immediately went to the kitchen to prepare food. He remembered the events of yesterday.

"People within the palace must have worked together to eliminate him. They also made me a scapegoat. Should I tell that stupid guy?"

"What stupid guy? Who are you talking about?" unnoticed by Arumeey, the king of Shaka is already standing in the doorway.

"I-i... I'm just talking about my friend. You surprised me. Why are you standing there?"

"You got any friends?"

"You don't need to know. Wash your face. I'll prepare the food."

King Shaka turned around leaving Arumeey with an irregular heart in shock.

"Just surprised. You ghost!" grumbled Arumeey after the king of Shaka passed.

White rice with fried chicken is ready to serve on the table.

"You live alone in the woods, don't you be a witch?"

"You're this. Just enjoy your food while I'm kind enough to feed you. Once you're cured, you'll have to pay for everything."

"You're really calculating. I can give you anything you want. After I return to the palace, I will send a sack of gold for you."

"alright. I'll look forward to it, sir." replied Arumeey without looking at the interlocutor.

"Master. Yesterday I got the sad news from the palace"

King Shaka stops his bribe when Arumeey tells the palace.

"Delivery news?. Whatchu mean?"

"Yesterday afternoon everyone gathered in the streets to pay their last respects to the ninth king."

King Shaka put down his rice plate.

"You kidding me?"

"So you really don't know?"

"What do you mean?. Say it clearly!"

"Master. Actually from the beginning I knew that you were the proud and foolish king of Shaka"

Hearing that, the look on King Shaka's face turned cold and deadly.

"Don't offend, sir. I was just expressing my opinion" Arumeey caught a change in the face of king Shaka.

"Master. Actually, that day... Before I find you on the brink. Guards and also some soldiers came looking for you"

"Master. You really don't know. They're all working together to eliminate you"

King Shaka looked back at Arumeey's face.

"They're looking for you and making sure you're dead. I heard it myself"

"You want to exploit my weakness"

"You are this, really bad!. I watched your funeral yesterday. They faked your death, and slandered the girl who poisoned your face to ruin"

"That girl?. It could have been that girl who planned all this. I'll definitely finish him off one day"

Arumeey was surprised to see the reaction of king Shaka.

"You're really easy to fool. It's just worth it." Arumeey finished his meal with an annoyed face and left the king of Shaka alone.

"I thought he was just a fool. It turned out that he was really very stupid" Arumeey grumbled while sitting behind the house.

"You're not lying?" king Shaka appeared behind him. He walked slowly while holding his stomach.

Arumeey turned his head for a while, then he again threw away his gaze. King Shaka approached and sat down beside Arumeey.

"I didn't know I was surrounded by people who betrayed me"

"You're so busy with women that you don't have time to look around you"

"You're right"

Arumeey turned to her when she heard King Shaka's reply. His empty gaze seemed as if there was a lonely soul within. Arumeey can see into his eyes.

"I have to go back to the palace to find out"

"You have to keep pretending to be dead. It was the only way you could know who wanted to destroy you" Arumeey stared at the man's sad face

"You don't know what they've prepared for you if you're alive. For that, you have to follow their game"

"You're right. If I come back later, I'll make you my personal servant"

Hearing those words, Arumeey's eyes fell wide.

"Sad. Who wants to be your personal servant. You're too confident"

"You're this. People are racing to be my servants. You should be glad I picked you up willingly"

Arumeey really did not believe in the arrogant attitude of the man who was beside him.

"Regarding the girl, are you really going to kill her?"

"of course. She was the first presumptuous girl who dared to reject me. Actually you're sassy too. But--"

Arumeey stared intently at the face of King Shaka.

"Aah already. You don't ask the girl. I'll clean it up later."

...............

The next day, Arumeey prepared to go down into town.

"Buy some nice clothes." Pinta king of Shaka on Arumeey.

"We have to skimp. My money's not much. Wear what I buy later. Don't ask too many requests. This should also be written in your debt book to me"

"You're very calculated."

"I'll be back before dark. Don't go where. People from the palace could have gone back to look for your body"

"You don't worry."

"alright. Don't forget to drink and put medicine on your wounds" after giving orders to the king of Shaka, Arumeey immediately set out to leave.

In the middle of the journey Arumeey met some palace soldiers.

They also stopped Arumeey.

"Miss, do you live around here?"

"Yes sir. What's up?"

"Have you found a dead body or someone injured in the past few days?"

"I don't see for sure. But these days I hear dogs barking. It was like they were having a dinner party. They may be eating carrion"

"Where's the lady?"

"I don't know for sure. But it looks like his voice came from the end of the river, sir. There may be carcasses that are dragged by river currents. What is it, sir. Are you looking for someone?."
