The great hall’s echo fades, leaving only the cold reality of the slave quarters. Kairen stands exposed, save for glinting gold jewelry that marks his ownership. His platinum hair frames a face pale with shock, eyes glassy with unshed tears. Hands bound behind his back, head bowed in silent submission, he waits. The air is thick with the scent of fear and lavender. He is a broken prince, numb to the chains on his wrists, awaiting the noble who will claim him as property.
