"Sera, you know that slave is very important to us," Tudor said.Sera sat on the sofa with a faint smile. "I know.""So, I hope you understand what you need to do."Sera was silent, but her gaze did not leave her father."I will take that slave tomorrow," Tudor continued.Sera took a breath. "No. He is my special slave. You can't take him.""But you have Russel!""I don't want to live with him.""Sera....""Papa, I don't want to talk about Russel. I won't release Amos. He's mine. If you touch him, I won't like it," Sera interrupted.Tudor took a deep breath. He was tired of his daughter's stubbornness."You have another special slave. Why don't you take them instead of Amos?" asked Sera. She heard many special slaves could be harvested this year."They can't be harvested before twenty one years old. And it's dangerous if they reach age twenty three, you know that very well!" Tudor explained.Sera played with her nails. She knew that, but she insisted on keeping Amos. What could that m

"Ngh!" Amos felt his body crumble. Hot and weak. He opened his eyes slowly.He was still in Sera's room. Two men were talking beside him."If he was an ordinary human, his internal organs would have been damaged." Amos heard one of the men speak.Amos closed his eyes, unable to move his body."Will he be okay?"Amos recognized the other man's voice. It was Riel."He'll be fine, but make sure he takes medicine."Amos didn't care what they were talking about. He wanted to move. But he couldn't. He saw sunlight entering the window. Does that mean he was unconscious all night?Amos remembered Sera's strangulation. He stiffened again. That tense feeling made his body tremble. Amos saw the two men walking out of the room. But he couldn't make a sound at all.Then Riel re-entered the room and approached him. He pressed against Amos' chest.Amos groaned, feeling unbearable pain. But then he could move his body."Sir, please forgive me, let me go!" Amos pleaded, holding Riel's hand. His body w

Amos didn't think Sera understood beauty. The sound of the violin was so beautiful, soft, and heart-wrenching. He almost thought of Sera's tenderness, but then he remembered what she had done to him.The wound was still gaping. It was sore and painful. Several scratch marks appeared on his chest. But, he felt better like that than having to get healing ointment.To avoid Sera's torture, Amos pretends to be asleep.The sound of the violin continued to play until half an hour later. Then silence.The silence made Amos feel uncomfortable. He tried to neutralize his heartbeat. He had to pretend to be unconscious.Amos heard the sound of slow steps approaching. He tried to calm down, but his heart was still beating fast. He felt a touch on his cheek. Sera's fingers were hot.The touch was very gentle. Amos wasn't sure it was really Sera.Suddenly he felt his clothes being removed. He couldn't remember how many times he had changed clothes today. Too many times. Panicked, Amos opened his e

Amos felt pressure in his chest. It allowed him to move again. Amos saw that his body was covered in bandages. Sera didn't give him any more ointment.He got up and sat on the edge of the bed. He saw Sera carrying a brand-new pair of clothes. "Put them on," she ordered.Amos took them. His eyes were drawn to the luxurious clothes. The shirt is white and the pants are made of high-quality fabric. His eyes were filled with amazement as he touched the clothes. They were made of fine material.Sera watched Amos who was still mesmerized by the clothes in his hand."Put it on quickly," Sera repeated."Ah, yes," Amos stammered back.Sera was quite surprised by the slave's compliance. She saw Amos standing up and struggling a bit to put them on. He repeatedly scrunched up in pain. Finally, she approached him to help. But Amos was frightened and backed away."Let me help you," Sera said, motioning Amos to come closer to her."No, I can do it myself."Sera stared impatiently. "Come here!"Amo

"Do you like it?" asked Sera."So wide," Amos replied, still looking around.Sera watched the forest around her.Wide? She chuckled. Of course, the world is vast."I'll take you out often if you behave yourself," Sera said.Amos watched from the window. Suddenly the window glass opened and he jumped in surprise. A fresh breeze hit his face. He closed his eyes.Sera watched Amos grab the air from the open window. There was nothing on the road. It was completely in the middle of a forest. No one would pass through that area. So she let Amos take his hand out.Sera looked at the black car following her. She hoped Riel would keep an eye on Amos later."Is that a deer?" asked Amos, widening his eyes to see a deer with long antlers among the trees. He remembered seeing the animal in the book Balferis had read."Have you ever seen one? There are a lot in this area," Sera replied. She got tired of seeing them. Several times, she ate them."Beautiful," Amos murmured as he saw a group of deer.
