*splash*
A bucket of water was splashed onto a Young lad
*Gasping for air" he was woken up from his peaceful sleep and opened his eyes to the bright sun in the sky.
He held his hands in the direction of the sun trying to see without the light piercing his eyes, Suddenly a Realization hit him.
"Where am i" he thought loudly in his mind.
"More importantly who am i? I don't remember anything ab-" before he could gather his thoughts entirely, a hand grabbed his collar, it had a strong grip and a brown-Colored skin tone.
"GET UP YOU DIMWIT!" a strong muscular man shouted loudly at the kid, "LET'S GO BEFORE I KILL YOU" the man said loudly, from what the kid could see he was a blabber mouth, and he had an ugly face and dirty attire.
It was then that he realized he was in shackles, both his feet and hands were bound to each other.
The man showed no mercy in grabbing the kid.
*Thud* The kid fell in front and the man could care less to give him time to stand up he just continued grabbing him.
"It hurts" said the boy being dragged on his face.
Because of how fast things moved he didn't have time to realize he was on a ship, but he deducted from the sound of birds and water waves and the wood floor he was being dragged upon, that he was on a ship.
"Get up" The man said sternly, "i didn't harm you or put you in slave Chambers because you fetch a good price don't make me regret it"
The boy got up and they exited the ship onto a bustling port, judging by the environment full of people with shackles and people doing auctions, it definitely was a slave trading market.
"Wash your face at that barrel you're filthy"
I washed my face thoroughly after i finished i looked into the water and it mirrored my face vaguely but i still could make out my appearance, i had a pale complexion, heterochromia with brown in an eye and grey-brown mix in the other, and an angular sharp jaw, my hair was reddish and i looked almost too good for a kid who still had a lot of time to grow up and judging by my face i could be mistook for a noble, and i realized why the man was giving me special care so much so for a slave.
"HURRY UP DAMN IT" shouted the man, he was getting irritated by how much time i took.
He walked me down the road in my messed up and dirty clothes, i saw the city port, it was massive in size and had a big market, the horrible man suddenly pulled me by my chains into a big building.
From the looks of it was an auction, everyone was shouting everywhere.
"1500 RINALDS HERE!" "2000!" "2250!"
"we have a beautiful female slave good to be used as a mistress, we will start fro -"
I was suddenly cut off from seeing or hearing the auction to the end of it when i was taken into a massive auditorium with a stage at the end of it and it had seats full of people.
Suddenly a man ran towards us from behind the seats further most from the stage, he was clothed in a fine cloth and a black white suit.
"What did i tell you huh? Didn't i Tell you to never barge into the auditorium again like this?" The man looked pissed off "Remember how you embarrassed me last time? Come with me"
The man took us behind the stage privately not wanting the crowd to see us and make the audition look unprofessional, "from the looks of it he is the conductor" i thought to myself.
"So where did you get such a high value slave?" The conductor was inspecting my face like a physician from inside my eye lids to my eyes themselves and my tongue, ears and teeth, "He has a healthy tongue and symmetrical teeth with no bruising, an angular jaw
"Well what do you think ?, i bought him from a village, it seems his parents were dead or gone somewhere and the relatives seemed eager to get rid of him" and then took a good pause and continued with a wide smile "i bought him for only 200 rinalds", the conductor continued his inspection on me now he was inspecting my body when he replied "you bloody con artist, you have no integrity" he continued"How old is he?" The ugly man replied "9 years old" the conductor was in awe and couldn't believe him but he couldn't care less as long as he sold me.
The conductor stood tall after he finished inspecting me and he said "alrighty, I'm taking him to the stage".
He walked me on the stage and started announcing enthusiastically " I HAVE A HANDSOME KID WITH A LOT OF POTENTIAL FOR HIS FUTURE, HE COULD BE A TOY OR A SERVANT OR EVEN A PARAMOUR, WE WILL START AT 2000 RINALDS" The crowd went wild with bids and counter bids everywhere.
"2500!" "3000!" "3250!" "3400!" It kept on rising until an ugly fat man with a mask covering his eyes and showing his mouth bid "11000" and he smirked thinking he had won and he was justified to think so.
I started sweating and started panicking "am i gonna become a toy now? For no one but that fat bastard?" I thought to myself.
I looked at the wooden floor of the stage and started to tear up "I'm scared" i cried and showed an unsightly sight and looked pathetic.
"Going once ! Going twice!" The conductor was chanting happily thinking about his commission from such a bid, "so-" as he was about to announce me being sold he was cut off by "20000" someone counter bid the fat bastard.
It was a woman without a mask seated on the last row of seats.
The fat bastard seemed angry and kept cursing something as he stood up from his seat and exited the auditorium in a tantrum
"Going once, going twice, SOLD!"
I stopped crying and wiped my tears, i was scared but i judged it to be better sold to her than that bastard.
I was taken to her carriages outside the auditorium
"Hello little one, get on" she smiled at me
After the carriage started moving she took off her mask, she startled me by her looks, she looked really beautiful, dark purple hair paired with the color of her eyes, she mesmerized me.
She also had a tall figure and a sharp yet feminine jaw and a mature body.
"Well what do you think? Am i beautiful" she looked intently at me after asking, i blushed and got scared at the same time i blushed because she was charming but got scared that she wanted me as a toy.
Then she let out a laugh to her heart's content probably because she knew what i was thinking and said to me while wiping her happy tears "calm down I'm just joking with you just joking".
For most of the distance traveled i was awkward but she took care of me, On the way she asked me questions like what's my name and what are my traits or what do i like but to no avail i couldn't answer and these questions filled my mind the entire way like ; "what is my name?" "Where do i come from?"
But i had no memories regarding my childhood or my life.
We did not stop to rest unless it was for the madam and me and only at cities with high level lodging available only for nobles and the wealthy.
We stopped only at 3 cities from what i remember.
******************
"Here we are" she said so as we arrived at a large city fortified with high walls and lines of people waiting in front of the gates for inspection and permission of entry, but we simply passed the line and went to special inspection reserved for special guest's and local Nobels and high value merchant's.
"What is your purpose of arrival?" the guard asked
And the coach replied but i didn't quite get what he said.
"OPEN THE GATES" the guard shouted to his peers.
"We are finally home" the madam said to me and then continued "we are in the city state of bior that is a part of Milda"
I was dumbfounded because i had never heard such names.
"This is our last stop before we get back to my house"
I looked out to the streets and saw nothing but happiness on the faces of the people and children roaming the streets playing and bustling markets.
"Well have you remembered anything about your past?" She asked curiously and i replied "No, I'm sorry madam" i was disappointed in myself and was scared of how she would react.
"Well we can't help it i guess" she let out a sigh.
******************
We arrived at a luxurious lodging where I saw only nobles entering and exiting with no sight of commoners.
We went inside to the reception and by how he reacted it seemed that a reservation was already made.
We went up the floors until the last floor where it entirely was reserved for us and the servants took care of our luggage, "Well are you hungry? What would you like to order?" She asked me
I didn't answer out of shyness.
"Well i will just order something for you"
After a few minutes there was a knock on the door and a few servants came inside and made a table for us.
She had ordered a mushroom soup and roasted meat on sticks for me and steak for herself, i was hesitant at first but when i tasted the soup i couldn't help but indulge myself in it.
The madam was looking at me with a smile on her face ; "well I'm taking you to my manor tomorrow so we can't let you wonder without a name can we?"
She continued "i was thinking about alan, what do you think?"
Alan, it was a strange yet soft name on the tongue.
"I like it" i answered, "Nice !, tomorrow you will also meet my daughter so when you wake up, take a shower and put on the clothes i bought for you"
She had bought me some expensive and luxurious clothes in a city before we arrived at Bior.
"Also my name is Janine so get comfortable with me"
******************
We arrived at her manor, The residence house had a dark purple theme on the outside just like her eye and hair color.
We arrived at the reception of many servants.
"What do you think of my house" she told me
"It's as beautiful as you" i replied "oh look at you how you have gotten comfortable" she let out a giggle.
"Welcome home madam" said someone that looked like the head butler by his attire.
"Thank you Joseph, where is alina?" He shook his head in reply and said "still in her room"
The madam let out a sigh and took me inside.
The inside of the house looked like a Royal House and i didn't know if it was because i had not seen anything like it or it really was that prestigious.
"Let's go up" she told me, and we took to the staircase going upstairs
We arrived at the end of a hall and the madam knocked on the door, "Alina?"
