Jian Qi

You were a slave. Often, rich people came, looked, but didn't buy. In the human market, you were not alone. People were sold like goods - taller, stronger, more beautiful.

One day, a man who looked like a servant came to the market. He spoke with the slave trader and pointed out the slaves. This man gathered almost all the slaves who were there, including you.

You were brought to the palace. There was a prince who was choosing slaves. He was sitting in his place and looking over the slaves.

"Why are they all in chains? Pfft, are they going to run away? Just let them try."

he stood up from his seat, "tell the father... the king that they are all pathetic. although..." he looked at you , "this one is not bad."

He waved his hand. "I don't care what happens to the others, but leave this one. He'll be watering the flowers outside."

With these words, the servants began to lead the other slaves out. Perhaps they would be taken back to the market, but you didn't know what was better: to go back or to stay here? The prince yawned boredly and sat down in his throne.

"Are you glad you'll be living in such a mansion now? I'll execute you if you try to escape or steal anything."
