Chapter 35. My Body Is Always Hot ***** "My business is done, so I'll leave you to it." Ihedia made the first move to leave the room. But this was not the Kayan who would let her go so easily. He tugged one corner of his mouth upward. "I didn't say you were free to go." At that, Ihedia felt a little panicked. She felt like a fish caught in a net. He shifted his position to face Ihedia, and she half-turned almost simultaneously. This time, Kayan draped his arms over the tub and looked at Ihedia...
Chapter 34. The man in the flesh **** Kayan, the most important person to Netira, was still unharmed, and she was eager to dispose of those who might harm her with ease. The servant grunted and spoke again. "Wouldn't it be better to find a cure as soon as possible?" “In what period of time? If we wait so long and all get sick, will you be responsible?” There would be a constant supply of lowly slaves anyway, and from Netira's point of view, there was no more efficient way to take their...
Chapter 33. Lock them in the outbuildings and burn them all ***** "Hi, there. I just stopped by to drop something off." "...." Again, 3 remained quiet, treating Ihedia as if she didn't exist. Her guarded demeanor made Ihedia cringe a little. The two stayed silent for a moment, as if they were in the same room but couldn't see each other. "Sister!" It was Aurora who broke the awkward silence with 3. Aurora's face lit up as she set the bucket full of water down with a thud on the floor. "How long...
Chapter 32. The truth behind the creepy rumors surrounding him *** When Ihedia entered the room at the end of the day, she saw a face that she hadn't seen before, like Aurora told her. She was in Monica's place, wearing Monica's clothes. Her bronze-colored hair, which resembled wooden beams, was pulled up in a messy bun. Her irises, similarly colored, were ravaged beyond recognition, devoid of life. She sat on the bed, dazed, like someone waiting to die. Ihedia was the first to muster the...

Chapter 31 **** Kayan opened the door and nodded to Ihedia. Ihedia followed Kayan's lead and moved into the room with the corpse. The stench of decomposition hit her as soon as she stepped inside. The odor was so strong that it was useless to leave the door open. "The Inau powder used to preserve the corpse in its original state must be mixed with the juice of a herb called renzal to make the effect last longer. Inau alone is only good for a few days." Ihedia advised Kayan, holding her breath...

Chapter 30. If I kill you here **** Fortunately, unaware of her presence, Kayan disappeared into the hut with the old man. Ihedia could breathe a sigh of relief at the thought that at least she hadn't been seen by him. She began to formulate her own reasoning about the situation before her. Upon closer inspection, the hut was too poorly maintained to be inhabited. It was overgrown with unsightly weeds, and the roof looked like it could collapse at any moment. The windows, which were out of...

Chapter 29. The only one who can make her meek *** "How the hell are you supposed to help me?" Netira asked, suspicion tinged in her eyes as if Ihedia had been less than kind. In her eyes, she was nothing more than a worthless slave. Ihedia had a premonition that if she couldn't convince Netira in this moment, there would be no next. A voice without pitch, but crisp and clear, shifted to Netira. "Unlike Anut, Elmir has a very advanced medical science. I have a keen interest in medicine myself,...

Chapter 28. Hunting Humans *** The servants guarding Emperor Hashad's bedchamber shuddered at the furious screams coming from beyond the door. The eerie sound, which resembled that of a beast, had not ceased for hours. The mad emperor's hunt for humans had begun. "Arghhh!" One could never get used to hearing that last screech, the last cry to escape somehow from inevitable death. It was now difficult to count the number of women who had gone in there and come out as corpses. No one understood...
Chapter 27. Even when you’re under me **** "Is my leniency in letting him live invisible to you?" Kayan let the frenzied momentum drain out of him, as if he were barely holding back the rage that was building. His demeanor was unlike anything she'd ever seen before, and for a moment Netira could only curl her lips in response. For now, however, she needed to assure Kayan of her position as Lord of the Bayate family. "Hulkan is a Bayate man, after all, and I will not allow him to be treated...
Chapter 26. Are you afraid of getting eaten? *** He gestured to Ihedia with his chin, signaling her to come over. When she hesitated, he raised an eyebrow and gestured again. She approached Kayan, taking each step cautiously. "Are you lost?" "Yes." "You must have been lost for a while." He said, glancing at her hands and feet, which were shivering in the cold. Unlike her, Kayan showed no signs of being chilled, wearing only a thin layer of clothing suitable for spring and fall. The bitter...
