시벨
무슨 일이 일어난 걸까, 내가 어떻게 여기서 다른 소녀들과 함께 사슬에 묶여 이 비위생적인 감방에 갇히게 된 걸까?
안드레아, 내 친구는 어디 있지?
· 안드레아, 안드레아?
· 나 여기 있어, 시벨그녀는 나와 같은 감방에 있지만, 바로 뒤에 있다. 그녀는 자신의 움직임을 방해하는 사슬을 끌고 내 품으로 뛰어든다.
그녀는 울기 시작하고 나도 함께 운다.
· 괜찮아?
· 무슨 일이 일어난 거야? · 우리 납치당했어. · 흑, 흑, 흑, 우리한테 무슨 일이 일어날까? · 진정해, 우리 빠져나갈 수 있어. · 어떻게? 우리 모두 묶여 있는데, 여기서 누가 우리를 구해준다는 거야?우리는 무장한 남성들이 오는 소리를 듣는다. 그들은 감방 문을 열고 들어와 우리를 끌어내고 감방 밖으로 내던진다.
· 똑바로 앞으로 나가
우리는 앞으로 나아간다. 우리는 대략 스무 명 정도 된다. 나는 내 근처에 있는 소녀에게 묻는다:
· 당신은 여기 온 지 얼마나 됐어요? 나는 시벨이라고 해요, 당신은요?
· 내 이름은 루피타야, 나는 여기 온 지 3일 됐어. 나는 일주일 동안 있었던 다른 사람들을 찾았어. 대화에 따르면, 그들은 경매를 위해 우리가 많아지기를 기다리고 있었어.뭐라고? 우리를 판다고? 과달루페 성모님, 우리를 도와주소서.
· 저기, 조용히 해! 조용히 앞으로 나가! 처녀인 사람은 오른쪽으로, 그렇지 않은 사람은 왼쪽으로 가! 우리가 확인할 테니까.
대략 16세에서 27세 사이의 금발 머리 소녀가 나와 함께 줄에서 나온다. 다른 사람들은 반대편으로 간다. 나는 안드레아와 헤어지고, 우리는 눈물을 머금은 채 서로를 바라본다.
· 괜찮을 거야, 시벨. 우리 빠져나갈 수 있어. 좋아, 널 꼭 다시 찾을 거야.

The King’s Obsession 39
~AkaraI freeze, staring at him as the information sinks in."Where is she?" I question breathlessly.Tai's mother survived, or at least that is what I've been believing since I read Tai's journal, and now, this confirms it. I must have figured it out prior to reading the journal, meaning my distrust of Tai during that time was impossibly high."She's staying in the room next door," Grey tells me. "I found out where she was and wrote to her regarding you. Thankfully she came here to speak to you."I breathe out slowly, processing that. This is just what I need, to talk to someone who has a deeper insight about who Tai is."Take me to talk to her," I demand, closing the gap between Grey and I. Maria...I know her name only because Tai uttered it once.He grabs my arm, stopping me from barging past him and out the door. "Woah...hold on. Can't we talk first?""Grey, you need to understand that you and I will never happen, okay?" I tell him firmly. There is no point hiding it from him, tha

~AkaraWith a bit of Zavian's help, I've managed to track Grey down.Someone in the men Zavian hired to infiltrate Tai's estate knew of a man who was once asking questions around town about me. From there, it didn't take long to have a note passed onto Grey, who unsurprisingly, hasn't left the Jade Province.And just like I suspected, he came to the meeting spot I mentioned in the note; about a thirty minute walk away from Zavian's estate."I wasn't sure I would ever see you again," he murmurs, coming to stand a few feet in front of me."You were meant to run away." I was hoping I wouldn't see him again. Not because he's apparently in love with me, but because I don't trust him. I need to trust my instincts, even if I don't know what my state of mind was during that time."How could I, when you're here," he says earnestly.I fight the urge to roll my eyes. This love sick act has to drop soon, I mean, he knows I'm in love with Marek, and I'm to be married to the King, and yet he still

~AkaraI stare up into Zavian's earnest blue eyes, stunned.“I’m sorry…What?”“Think about it,” he breathes, going to grab my hands, but I pull them away quickly, unsure of his motivations, scared I'm about to be forced into another marriage. Zavian is my best friend, not someone I want to marry. “It would be a way around the law, if you became engaged to another King.”“I…I guess," I stutter. He's right, it could be a way around the law, but how would Tai retaliate? And the thought of this being something different...I've lost way too many friends. I refuse to lose Zavian.“It wouldn’t be for long. Just until Tai is no longer a threat," he assures me, seeing my flustered expression. Despite my panic, I believe him. He knows what I've been through, and wouldn't put me through that again without good reason. And being forced into a marriage with Tai is definitely a good one.I shift on my feet, lowering voice. “This idea is good, Zavian, but Tai is holding something over me.”“What?”

~AkaraWe walk for a while, in tense silence.Eventually, Vaia's complaints become too frequent, so we have to stop, dead in the middle of the forest, with no civilization for at least an hour's walk from here. It doesn't bother me, though, because while I'm here, I'm not locked away in Tai's estate, and if I wanted to, I could run in a single direction and get far, far away from him."We are going to have to sleep under the stars tonight," Marek says, shrugging his long hunting coat off, laying it down across the forest floor."We don't have anything to sleep on?" Tai turns in a circle, looking distastefully at his environment.I stare at him blankly.Has he already forgotten what it was like to live in hardship? We did it for so many months together, and he rarely complained. It's as if those moments are lost on him now, having disappeared into an inescapable void."What do you want? To go to a village and maybe be torn apart by people who may not like you any longer?" Marek asks, k

~AkaraI groan, shifting uncomfortably, blinking as I finally wake.A healer is leaning over me, checking my vitals as I struggle to come to terms with where I am, with what happened. I've been shot, evidently, my shoulder burning with pain. Thankfully, the arrow has been removed, and I can feel the t

~AkaraI stare up at the steps leading onto the temporary stage, shuddering.The last thing I want is to be here, in this Jade Province village, expected to pretend like I'm marrying Tai. But if I want any chance of saving Marek's life, I'm going to have to act, until I can get that antidote myself."T

~AkaraI sit at the dining room table, stirring my spoon mindlessly through my soup."Had a good day?" Tai asks.Raising my gaze, I stare him down. He sits at the end of the table, watching me. It's been a strange day, becoming reacquainted with the manor. Old memories have haunted me all day, includin
