The Unthought Fate [MxM]

Chapter 19

Vlad

  There is no peace in this castle, that is for sure. I barely found my way after my talk with Lucas, that I was approached by another slave, with a message for me.

  "Hello Vlad!" he starts. "Prince Kayro had to leave the castle for an urgent matter, but he left word for you to be brought where he is, once you are available." he relayed the news.

  That was strange. Not only that Kayro rarely leaves the castle, but he never brought me on none of those occasions. So this situation was very out of the blue, not to mention, when did he even leave? I must have been missing for a maximum of 30 minutes, took me more to understand where I was on this huge domain, than to talk to Lucas.

  But I know there is no danger here, so I just do as I was told. I consider myself still new and just like I didn't know all the property yet, I had a lot to learn about how things work in this castle, I've yet to experience everything.

  "Ok! Do I need to take anything for the Prince?" I ask, to be sure I will be prepared for him once I arrive.

  "No! The carriage for you is ready, please come this way." he says and leads the way.

  Once again I was taken to unknown places, on unknown paths. I can't believe how large the castle grounds actually are and I barely know a small part of them. This is not right. I somehow need to learn more about the domain, it's embarrassing to lose myself after being here for a couple of months already.

  While on the way to the said carriage, I start feeling like something was not right, but I couldn't tell what. Maybe because I don't know these places, maybe because I don't know the slave. Hmm...he must be new, I think.

  I was starting to have a bad feeling, but I just put it on the unpleasant discussion I had with Lucas. Ugh...I can't believe he had the audacity to tell me I'm unfair, but my outburst was so out of nowhere. It felt actually good to give him a piece of my mind, for once. I usually keep it to myself, but I don't regret this for one bit.

  Lost in thought, I wasn't aware of my surroundings, just mindlessly fallowing the slave and in no time we arrived at the carriage. Taking a look around, yes, I don't recognize anything.

  "Here is it!" he politely gestures for the carriage and opens the door for me to get in. He helps me with that because the steps were quite high. Once I'm inside I take a seat, he closes the door and wishes me to have a good ride and I thank him for the help.

  That awful feeling was not going anywhere, but I try to ignore it, because this was my only second time using a carriage and I was kind of excited for it and to see where I was going.

  The driver must have already been there, but I just missed to see him, because once the door was closed, the carriage is in motion and all I can hear are the horses's hooves and the wood wheels against the pebbled road. I like that sound, it was relaxing.

  I really like this trip, I was used to walking all the time, so it was a nice change....but, something it's just not right. Ugh...I am not a bright person, the details always fly by, but I did notice we were really far from the castle, we left for about two hours now. And we were heading where exactly?

  Looking out the window I realize that the road was deserted and we didn't encounter not even one person, on foot, horse or carriage. At some point we enter a forest and I start to get worried, the ominous feeling getting stronger.

  I was feeling my anxiety appearing, but I was trying to convince myself that I'm safe. I'm a mere slave, have no value, am not a danger for no one, so there is no reason to harm me... I think... I hope...
