The Solitude of an Emperor [TO BE UNPUBLISHED]

9 : ONE LAST CURSE

The young girl was just holding a small pouch where she put the small white ball in. As the carriage started their journey, she was only riding at the back where the luggage and foods were located. Since this morning, she only had an apple and bread but maybe because the body she was in was used to being starved that she does not feel bothered being hungry.

It was already dark when they left the Empire. They already crossed the river connecting the two continents and were on their way to the Hapra Forest. However, they did not arrive at the Hapra forest but stopped at the entrance of the forest. Then she was asked to carry some stuff as they decided to rest there.

As the errand girl, she was asked to do things here and there. Until then, three carriages arrived coming from another direction. A group of people in commoner clothes came to them as they greeted each other. A mature man with golden hair seemed to be their leader. He was tall and by the way he talked, he seemed to be a noble.

"Hey, kid, get the wine!" Her boss called for her and commanded her.

She nodded and got wine. She served it as she could feel many eyes looking at her.

"You got an interesting girl out there." The man with golden hair spoke, while intently looking at her. She got uncomfortable so she decided to leave but then her boss suddenly grabbed her hand making her stop.

"Do you like young girls? I will sell her with one thousand gold."

Her eyes expanded as fear travelled throughout her body. She did not expect to have heard such a thing in real life. When she was an Emperor, she revolved with formal communication but hearing this, it is disgustingly alarming.

"This girl hasn't been touched and is very diligent. You can have her as a maid or... you know." Her boss had a silly smile on his lips while looking at the man with golden hair.

She tried pulling out her hand but the body she was in was very weak. She wanted to speak so bad but could not speak well. She looked at the man with golden hair and signalled him by shaking her head. However, her hope shattered upon seeing his lips curve.

"Alright, I will buy her for a thousand of gold."

No! This is bad! How can she do what she was asked? If she goes to another group, the Largoth Imperial knights will have a problem!

"That is a good decision, my lord! Please take her as you please!" Her boss cheered as he laughed loud and drank more wine. He then pushed her towards the man with golden hair.

She bumped into the man's body but when she was about to go away, his hands were wrapped around her waist. Her eyes went wide when his hands travelled to her hips and then to her back. Her body trembled in disgust.

"This should be worth five-hundred gold, man. She is slim and dirty." The man who's holding her laughed.

"My lord, she is yours forever. You can make her gain weight when she is with you. I can assure you that that girl will be a beauty when she grows up."

"Ha, that's a good idea!"

She was taken to another carriage and was alone there while the others talked. There were two guards looking out for her as she was told to change inside the carriage.

Her body was trembling in disgust. It felt like her back was still being touched by that man. She wanted to cry to such disgusting indecency however she should not look weak. She is an Emperor and she will get through this!

She waited in the carriage until the man with golden hair went inside it as he closed the curtains. He sat opposite her as she looked away because of his intent to stare.
