Chapter Nine: Lessons
"For a Slave to be freed by Imperial Command, the Sovereign of the Country must announce the Slave's freedom in front of the Imperial Court, for reasons akin to honor or bravery on the part of the Slave, or heinous fault on the part of the Slave Owner."Nadia cinched the saddle straps with slow, steady ease, the mule shifting impatiently beneath her. The stableboys lingered at a distance, their silence louder than any insult. Word of her ethnicity had spread quickly about the estate, and now, no one had offered a hand for anything. Just eyes—narrowed and guarded, some venomous, others harder to name. Pity, maybe, but fleeting and useless.Mounting took effort. Pain bloo
Chapter Eight: Vincent Steps Backward
"One must first be registered with the Association of Slave Owners before purchasing slaves."Chains anchored Vincent to the cold stone floor of the North Tower, his arms stretched wide, wrists blistered where the metal dug into his skin. The welts across his cheek pulsed hot with a perpetual throb that failed to subside even slightly. The gray walls loomed around him, lifeless and damp, the individual stones steadily blurring into a haze as the hours oozed by, distorted by deep ache.At length, he felt certain the room began to sway. The tower's motion, real or imagined, rolled beneath him like the breath of some ancient creature. He gritted his teeth. A fall from this heigh
Chapter Seven: Propositions
"Should a Slave's identification later be found and/or should the proper paperwork not be turned in to the Association Slave Owners confirming the Slave's freedom was announced, it will be assumed that the Slave is a runaway and further action will be taken thusly."Sir Rallian took a moment to process everything his prized slave had confessed. "Who else knows of all this?"Nadia sucked in a nervous breath. She paused and glanced up at her master, who raised a brow at her as a way of testing her—daring her to hold back any information. Nadia couldn't find the nerve anymore; he must've beaten it out of her for good.
Chapter Six: Battle in the Mycius Woods
"All freed Slaves can be sold back into slavery."That night, Rein's search of Rallian's safehouse had come up empty, so she decided to try again another day. She opted to join Captain Vincent and his men, who escorted the Rogue Assassins to Mycius Port, their shadows stretching long beneath the flicker of lantern light through the cover of the Mycius Woods. The path wound through the dense hush of trees whose branches arched like ribs overhead, and the scent of damp soil in the melting snow clung to the air.Ezra had requested the use of a couple of torches, but she was outnumbered by those who believed the amount of light would attract too much attention. Regardless of her four years of trai
Chapter Five: Within the Walls of Three Platinum Prisons
"For a Slave to be freed by its Owner, the command must be made in front of witnesses..."That same night, after Doralyn had delivered her message to Inara, Makiar moved through the dark corridors of Aimonbay Estate. The cold marble echoed beneath his black satyr hooves which clopped sharp and deliberate in the silence. Candlelight flickered along the stone walls, casting restless shadows as he pushed open the heavy door to the study. Inside, the air smelled of ink and incense. Rallian sat hunched behind his broad, cedar-wood desk, its surface buried beneath crumpled parchment. He didn't look up, fingers still rifling through the chaos like a man searching for something lost forever."You summ
Chapter Four: Nadia Gets it Over With
"If aSlave Owner experiences consistent disobedience from his/her Slave, the Owner is permitted to dispose of that Slave. All slave deaths must be reported to the Association of Slave Owners within the day of the death or the following morning."At first, the ride in Ivanna's coach brought Nadia a fragile sense of relief, the steady clatter of hooves against the drenched road serving as a welcome yet fleeting distraction. If nothing else, it spared her from trudging through the torrential downpour herself. Ivanna lived in Aramycius, far from Aimonbay Estate, which sat isolated on the fringes of Helvetica near the Lucierna Forest. It would've taken Nadia a day or longer to walk the distance on her own.
