Reader's POV
I have the worst life ever. Being a human stuck in a society of trolls is the worst possible fate ever. If you're not exiled, you're put in a circus or kept by the highbloods as a slave. I had the latter of the two fates. I was stuck in a slave auction in the Capricorn kingdom and I stayed there for months. No one wanted a pink skinned alien.I was housed like an animal, along with the rest of the soon to be sold slaves, in cages with a bowl of food every other day and a bowl of murky water every day. It was a living nightmare that I couldn't escape when I fell asleep. I thought I was going to die there until one day a troll cane in saying he needed a new slave.
The owner of the auction house showed him around and as he passed my cage I could tell he was from the Sagittarius kingdom. His hair hung at his shoulder and he stood tall and haughty with an unreadable expression on his face. He stopped in front of my cage and looked at me through the thick wires.
"How much for this one?"
"But you don't want that one. It's a human."
"Does it look like I'm asking your opinion? I said, how much?"
The owner shied away, "Hundred boondollars your highness."
"Thank you. I will take it. Have it ready to go in the next fifteen minutes while I go pay for it."
So he was royalty. Made sense I guess. That would explain his haughty expression and fancy clothes. I was brought out of my thoughts at the sound of the bolt on my cage scraping open hit my ears.
"Out you come, you miserable piece of filth."
I climbed out of my cage and a leash was fastened to the collar that was around my neck. I was dragged into a room where I was given a couple of shots and a quick sponge bath. I was then dragged outside where a shining black carriage and a team of black horses stood waiting.The carriage had the Sagittarius symbol painted on it in a dark blue.
I was shoved onto the seat on the back of the carriage and the leash was tied to a ring on the side of the carriage. About a minute later the troll that had bought me came out and without so much as a glance at me he climbed into the carriage, ordering for us to "take leave of this place of filth."
The horses jumped into motion and we drove away from the auction house.
~mini time skip~
I woke up when the carriage stopped. It had gotten dark outside, but I could see we were at the gates of a rather large castle.
"Unload my things. I will deal with the new slave myself."
"Yes sire."
I was dragged roughly off the back of the carriage and pulled up to the entrance of the castle.
"You are to be my new servant...well slave really. You will sleep in a room adjacent to mine and you will come when ever I nee you. Got it."
I nodded. We walked into a rather large room on the second floor of the castle.
"What's your name." I heard is voice say, softly.
I looked at the ground, "Slave number 65213, sire."
He frowned, "No that won't do. How about (Y/N)?"
I smiled slightly. I don't remember ever having a name. All I remember is the auction houses. Here I am almost sixteen years old and I finally have a name and I thought it was quite beautiful.
"What ever you wish, sire."
He took off the leash and collar and tilted my chin up.
"Hey I'm sorry I dragged you off the carriage. Are you okay?"
I nodded, "Yes I'm fine. I'm used to it, but why are you apologizing."
He smiled at me, "Because that was only to keep up appearances. I would never actually hurt you."
We walked further into the room which I had determined was his bedroom.
"You will sleep in here," he said opening a door to a small room that had a bed, a trunk, and a washstand in it.
"Thank you, sire!" I said walking in.
I opened the trunk to see three light blue tunics, two pairs of leggings made of a soft leather, a pair of deerskin boots, and a small comb made of some kind of bone.
"Is this really all for me?"
He looked over at me, "Of course."
"But this is so much."
"Only the best for my servants."
"I don't know how I will ever repay you, sire."
"You don't have to. Just work hard and that will be payment enough."
I bowed to him slightly.
"Come with me. I will show you to the bathrooms where you can wash up."
~~~~~~~~~
I woke up the next morning when the rosters in the castle yard started crowing. I got up off my bed and pulled on the outfit I had set out the night before and pulled on my boots. I grabbed the comb off the washstand and dragged it through my hair.
A knock came on my door and I opened it to see the prince standing before me with only a pair of leather pants on. He had an indigo tunic in one hand and a pair of riding boots in the other.
I had to drag my eyes away from his toned, bare chest.
"A good you're dressed. We are leaving within the hour to travel to the human kingdom. I trust you know how to ride a horse?"
I nodded my head, "I do sire. It was a requirement."
"Good. Pack your extra clothes into this," he said, handing me a deerskin bag.
I threw my clothes and my comb into the bag and followed him out the door.
*To be continued*
AN: So, this one is really long. I have decided to make it into a multi part story. I apologize for the lack of anything that looks like romance in this part. The next one will be better.
