BOUND TO THE BEAST : CHAPTER 101 – 110
The night prior to the introduction, Emeriel had just finished his work in the minefield. Now, he waited by the corner, casting his gaze upon the river.
He longed to take his bath, but he needed everyone to depart first.
Given that the fortress housed numerous slaves with only one river allocated for their ablutions, there was always a slave or two present at any given time of the day.
Thus, most slaves paid little heed to privacy and joined others in the river, attending to their own needs.
Usually, Emeriel waited until nighttime or even midnight to secure the river for himself.
However, tonight proved particularly challenging, for news of the impending introduction of slaves had reached everyone.
His heart skipped a beat at the reminder.
Emeriel had yet to recover from hearing that announcement the day before.
Now, concealed from sight in the woods, his back pressed against a tree, he observed the excited commotion of the bathing slaves.
Unlike him, most others seemed elated about the Introduction.
“If you capture the attention of a lord, he may issue a decree to purchase you, do you not know?”
Martha, one of the slaves he worked alongside in the minefield, gushed earlier that day. “He could make you his personal slave.
No more arduous labor, no more harsh beatings. You would be elegantly dressed like a mistress and solely serve a lord! Oh, how I yearn for a lord to choose me!”
Emeriel pondered the idea, his eyes fixed upon the night sky.
The stars clustered above, and the half-moon radiated its beauty. Would it truly be so terrible if a lord selected him?
But then, he scoffed at the thought. If the lord happened to be interested in men—which Emeriel was not—he would be so disappointed afterward that he might order Emeriel’s execution, would he not?
Even assuming that did not transpire, Emeriel could not bear the notion of his life revolving around spreading his legs, being used for carnal pleasure by a random Urekai day after day.
His entire existence narrowed to that. The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine.
The rustle of leaves on the ground alerted him to someone’s presence nearby.
He looked up and relaxed upon seeing Aekeira walking towards him. His sister offered a gentle smile, which he reciprocated, concealing his worries behind that smile so as not to burden Aekeira.
“The river is gradually emptying,” Aekeira remarked as she closed the distance between them.
