Chapter 29 EMERIEL Emeriel barely listened to Grand Lord Zapier , his eyes searching for Ackeira amidst the large number of slaves in the meeting hall .
His sister must be actively avoiding drawing the attention of the grand lord because she was nowhere in sight .
She has to be here , Lord Zaiper requested the presence of every slave .
You are all meant to serve your gasters .
Do whatever they want from you .
Your life is not yours ; your masters can take it whenever they so desire .
The same goes for your bodies .
We own you .
If you wish to see more days , you must ensure that you complete your tasks well and to the best of your abilities .
The hall fell into a hushed silence as he continued , explicitly stating how they were mere objects with no feelings or will .
No.
one dared to utter a word .
In fact , no one dared to even breathe too hard for fear of drawing his attention .
Defiance and deception will be met with severe penalties .
Especially deception .
A slave is not allowed to keep secrets .
A slave has no business keeping secrets .
Because the day what you hide comes to light will be the day you despise your own existence .
Does anyone have a confession to make ? Is there anything you are hiding from us ? Emeriels heart pounded in his chest .
His own secret , forbidden in all the kingdoms of the world , echoed in his ears like warning bells , the weight of it pressing upon him .
Speak now , and I might consider a more lenient punishment for you .
Or hold your tongue .
If you choose the latter , your time is already ticking .
Tick tock .
Tick tock His handsome but eerie face stretched into an unsettling smile .
The date for the presentation of new slaves will soon be announced .

All of you are expected to be in court on that day .
You are all dismissed As they filed out of the court .
Emeriel slipped between two slaves , making his way out .
The words of Grand Lord Zaiper lingered in his mind .
A slave has no business keeping secrets .
A slave has no business keeping secrets .
Emeriel knew what the presentation of slaves to court meant .
They would be stripped bare and used as entertainment for the lords and privileged .
He had overheard slaves whisper about it , and the things he had heard ….
Bile rose in his throat at the thought of being exposed , naked , and used by several Urekai .
And what they would discover .
Chills ran down his body .
So many problems and no solutions .
Lost in his thoughts , Emeriel went about his errands for the day A large hand grabbed him on his way to the market , jerking him forward , pulling him out of his reverie .
He looked up to see Slave Master Boris staring down at him .
Good day , Master Boris , Emeriel said , bowing his head .
You have not been to the inn in ages , Master Boris snarled angrily , tightening his grip on Emeriels arm .
Emeriel winced but held it in , blinking innocently at the slave master while enduring the pain .
I have not been assigned to the cellar .
Master .
The Urekai ground his teeth in anger , and finally , Master Boris released his grip and stepped back .
Although the final decision depends on the assigner , slaves are allowed to make suggestions .
When you are next assigned .
you must suggest the cellar , slave prince .
Am I clear ? Not a chance in hell 1/3 16:48 Sat , Dec 28 GO Chapter 29 59 % Yes , Master .
Emeriel bowed his head .
He was beginning to recognize that look in Master Borks eyes .
The same look Lord Zaiper had when he stared at Aekeira pure , unadulterated lust I would sooner cat from a trash bin than suggest that Good Slave Master Boris whirled around and continued on his way .
Emericl found himself standing gelsind the drying ropes , hanging numerous wet garments one by one as murmurs filled the air , followed by the sounds of greetings indicating the approach of an aristocrat , The long linens obstructed his view , preventing him from seeing who it was .
When he emerged from behind the linens , he noticed the other slaves bowing deeply , and followed suit .
The luxurious gown of the aristocrat drew closer and closer until it stood right in front of him .
Crack ! His cars rang , pain reverberating through his entire being , from the slap across his face .
Who do you think you are , that you fail to bow to me upon seeing anger .
me ? The venomous voice of the aristocrat was filled with Forgive me , mistress .
I did not see you in time due to the clothes on the drying ropes- Another slap landed on his cheek .
Excuses hold no weight with me .
Where is the slave master in charge of this place !? her voice boomed with anger .
Yes , mistress ! a distant voice responded .
The sound of hurried footsteps grew closer , and the slave master knelt down .
I apologize for the disrespect , Mistress Sinai , Mistress Sinai ? Wasnt she e the same woman with Lord Vladya the other day ? Give him five lashes of the whip .
Now ! she ordered .
What ?! Emeriels heart pounded loudly in his chest .
He dropped to his knees , his voice trembling , F forgive me , mistress .
I have c committed an offense against you , and I deserve to be punished .
But please , show mercy- Silence ! Be grateful that I am not having you stripped and paraded ! Emeriel had witnessed slaves being whipped before , and it was a sight one could never forget .
And the whips sturdy and filled with thorns .
Panic gripped him .
His mouth opened to plead further But in the end , he closed it soundlessly .
She would not listen to his pleas , would she ? Emeriel was all too familiar with aristocrats like her back in Navia .
They thrived on the suffering of others , showing no mercy .
He was a prince a princess ? whatever and his pride was all he had left .
Position your back , slave , the slave master ordered .
Emeriel complied , raising his head to get a good look at Mistress Sinai .
She appeared entirely satisfied , looking down her haughty nose at Emeriel as if he were dirt .
Tremors coursed through his body as he positioned his back .
He hadnt fully settled into position when the first lash struck , White hot pain surged through him as cried out , his body bending under the unbearable torture .
Before he could fully absorb that excruciating pain , another lash followed .
And another .

After the third strike , he may have slipped into shock .
The sounds around him faded , the impact of each lash jarring him .
It was raw agony as if his entire body had been submerged in buing water .
When he regained some awareness of his surroundings , he found himself lying alone on the ground .
A movement sent waves of pain rippling across his back and throughout his body .
Tears streamed down his face as he struggled to get up .
Through his blurred vision , he managed to make his way back to the citadel He stumbled up the stairs , but ademinine arm wrapped around him .
What happened to you , Prince Emeriel ? Who whipped you ? Anjies figure appeared before him .
Amie … he sobbed , his lips parched .
Say nothing .
You do not need to explain .

Relieved he did not have to find his own way , he allowed Amic to escort him COMMENT SEND GIFT 16:48 Sat , Dec 28 GD .
