All the slaves of the citadel gathered in the hall where Grand Lord Zaiper requested their presence.
As he addressed them, Emeriel tuned him out, his eyes searching for Aekeira 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.
“You are all meant to serve your masters. Do whatever they want from you. Your life is not yours; they 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 come 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?”
Emeriel’s 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 pressed 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 Urekais. And what if they discovered he was actually female that day?
Chills ran down his body. So many problems and no solutions.
Lost in his thoughts, Emeriel went about his errands for the day.
