LOYALTY HAS ITS REWARD
Dominik stood there looking at them smiling, a friend of the twins approached him
-Excuse me, Majesty, and the twins?!
-Ah, my sister took them to try on the wedding dress-said the King
-Ah right! They didn’t go with you-Mariana said letting out a giggle
“I don’t know why they continue with that hateful tradition, I wanted to see them dressed like that!” said the King
-Majesty, more than a tradition, it is a matter of romantic superstition!
“Yes, it’s true! Girl, are you going home now?” said the King
“Yes, Your Majesty, I have to walk there,” said Mariana, the twins’ best friend.
-If you want, I’ll leave you at home! Dominik said.
-Actually?! I’m ashamed
“No shame! Tell me where it is and I’ll leave you,” said the King
Mariana gave her the address, Dominik visualized her, hugged her and she became a scarlet mist, appeared in the small living room of the house, her parents who were sitting there when they saw that immense mist got scared and screamed when they realized it was the King
“Your Majesty! Are you in this humble house?” said Mariana’s father, bowing
-Hello, I come to leave Mariana! because my girlfriends went elsewhere and she was left alone, I was not going to let her walk so much.-said the King
-Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, she is my only daughter! I am always afraid that she will come here alone
Dominik realized that they were poor and asked
-Where do you work?!
“In the mines, Majesty, I never studied! That’s why my daughter studies with a scholarship there in high school,” Mariana’s father said.
Dominik kept thinking and said
-Now let’s go to my castle! I want to talk to you and then I’ll bring you back.
-I… your majesty, it’s an honor! thank you-said Mariana’s father
“Come on! See you later! I’ll bring it later,” said the King
And disappeared with the man in the scarlet mist.
Mariana’s mother was impressed to see the king in his living room and see that he took her husband with him, to the castle
“Mariana, it’s incredible, he took your dad to the castle,” Mariana’s mother said.
Dominik arrived at the castle, right in his office, he asked not to be disturbed
-We’re here! Could you tell me your name?
-Michael Huryen, Your Highness
“So you work in the mines and what is it that I see on your arms? It looks like sharp wounds,” said the King.
Michael looked at him scared and said
-They are… the marks… of… the lashes!, Your Highness
-Whipping?! And who hurts them? I have not given orders to flog anyone,” said the King
– The administrator ordered that on his behalf, every day we enter, he says it through the microphone-said Michael
-So take my name! What time should Michael come in?
-At 8pm your Highness
-Mmmm, that’s in half an hour, huh well I’ll take it but I’m going dressed up! Don’t say anything whatever you see, okay?!-said the King
-Yes your Majesty.
-Come with me!-said Dominik
I take him to the dining room and invite him to dinner, Michael had never tasted that kind of food, never, he greedily ate everything that was served to him until they were finished.
-Okay Michael, let’s go! That’s the work clothes right? -said the king
-Yes your Majesty!
Then he put on similar clothes, hugged him and they went directly to work in the mines, no one noticed they had arrived, a siren sounded and everyone began to enter, they all lined up in front of a arena to listen to the administrator
– Let’s see stupid shit! today they must have a minimum of 25 lbs because if they do not reach that weight they will be severely punished! In the name of King Dominik who hopes his orders are fulfilled
Someone raised their hand all trembling asking to speak
-What do you want?, you fucking bastard!
“And if I’m sick? My whole body hurts!” said the worker, tremblingExclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
-I don’t mind! , here we work, even if they are sick
“But I’m feverish and trembling, I can’t work!” said the worker
“Bring that bum here!” ordered the administrator
The guards grabbed him dragging him and he was screaming in pain
The administrator got down from the arena and kicked him in the stomach
-So the poor thing is sick!
And I hit him on the side again and he laughed, he bent down to tell him
-The King needs them to work, even if they are sick! Otherwise, he will have his entire family killed, he will suck their blood!
“No, I don’t think it’s like that, no, he’s good!” said the worker
The chubby administrator laughed out loud.
Hahaha, take it away! Let him work and if you don’t make weight I’ll hit you with the whip!
When they were going to take him away, a scarlet mist appeared and The King there with the clothes of the man who was lying on the ground.
Everyone got scared looking at him, while he took off those dirty clothes, and looked at the administrator who was all scared
“So the King has ordered the quota and the punishments according to you!” Dominik said
The chubby one was terrified it was the King who was standing there, he was a huge man a huge vampire and he was angry
“I… um… I, Your Majesty have to… work… go down!” said the administrator scared
Dominik approached the chubby man and he had to look up, he looked small next to the king
-You have used my name for your dark purposes, you have mistreated these hard-working people to please your pleasure of tormenting them and from what I see you have been stealing from me because you do not pay them fairly, so there are going to be many changes here!- said the angry King
He grabbed him by the lapels and he disappeared, he arrived at the dungeons of the castle, locked him up and left him under surveillance, returned to the mine,
He stood in front of everyone and said
-Gentlemen, I have found out about the suffering of all of you, I was oblivious to all this, but today your lives will change, first… today you are free!, so that you can rest in your homes
Second… the new mine manager will be Michael Huryen, who will report to me on a weekly basis.
Third… they will only work 8 hours and their food will be nutritious
Fourth… They will be remunerated with fair pay
Fifth… no quotas, they will work as normal and deliver the weight of what they find
Sixth… No one will ever flog their bodies again, they are free men!
Seventh… they will receive uniforms, gloves and adequate tools for their work
Eighth… on Fridays you will not work, you will receive special classes for your education!
“Does anyone want to talk about a need they have?” said the King
They raised their hands-Excuse me, Your Majesty, sometimes we are thirsty and there is no water
-Okay, they’ll get a fresh water dispenser
-Okay is everything?, you can go home!, Michael can you come?!
-Yes, Your Majesty?
“Come on, I’ll take you home!” Dominik said.
I hugged him and he vanished in the scarlet haze, everyone was amazed to see that, he arrived at Michael’s house
-Well everything is solved, what do you think Michael?!
Michael looked at him with teary eyes.
– Good majesty! good
-Michael, I have an idea!, look, I have a house that I don’t use, it’s near the mine, I’m going to give it to you!, and one of my cars I give it to you, tomorrow I send you to teach you how to drive what you need, you are the new Mine Administrator and you must live in the new category to which you now belong. I only ask you not to change your way of being humble-said the King.
Mariana was listening to everything, her eyes teary, she approached Dominik saying
-Thank you majesty, thank you
“Ah Mariana, I haven’t forgotten about you!” said the King
-Come out with me now, I have a gift for you!
They got out and there was a small white sports car and El Rey smiled.
-Mariana this is your car, it’s my gift! For being the best friend of my future wives
-For me? , it’s pretty!
“I’m going to send it to your new home and tomorrow you’ll learn how to handle it just like your father did,” said the King.
“Thank you!… sniff… thank you!” said Mariana tearfully
-Well, one more thing!…(I stare at them)… from today they will live in their new house,,, let’s go!
“What did he say?!” they said in unison.
-Yes, I already sent all the things that they had here, there they will see how they fix it, let’s go! -said the King
He touched them all and they arrived at the house. It was huge, beautiful, there were the cars, some servants opened the doors for them.
-Good evening, Your Majesty!
“Good evening! Come in,” said the king.
He rang a bell and about 20 servants appeared there
-Announcement, that the Huryen family are the owners of this house, they will be obeyed in everything, understood?!
-Yes, Your Majesty!-answered all the servants.
-Well, when they go up they will find dresses according to their new standard of living, their pantries are full, a woman will come to slowly teach them how to express themselves, manners, etc. -said the King
-I want you to try to learn quickly, I want you present at my wedding!
“Very well, Your Majesty, thank you!” Mariana said.
Well I’m leaving!, enjoy from today what you deserve! -said the King
-Thank you majesty!-said the three
