“If I’m to be temporarily living with you.... I would like to be able to see your eyes. I will agree to stay for 2 weeks, so you don’t have to show me right away. Maybe within the next week?” I asked hopefully. Honestly, I'm not really expecting him to agree, but it’s worth a shot.

“You wish to see my eyes that much, do you?” He giggles. “Yes, I would love to! You did say you would give it a thought, did you not?” I answered back. “You got me there. I did say that.... Alright love. Since you’re willing to do all of this for me, I will agree to show the rest of my face when it is just the two of us. But only when I feel ready. That goes to say I will agree on within a week.” I couldn’t help but smile excitedly.

“Really?! Thank you so much!” I say as I attack him with a hug. “Only for you, love.” He says as he returns the hug. “Before we get too far from the subject, would you mind if I asked you the question?” He asks as he lets go. Having an idea about what that question is, I take in a deep breath and nod my head. “So what happened to you between 8-6 years ago?”

“Well... I was maybe halfway over to my lessons when I had heard something unusual outside the carriage before we came to a complete stop. I tried speaking out to Edwin and asked what had happened, but I didn’t hear him answer back. Then, someone opened my door and pulled me out from the carriage. He pinned me to the side while another guy tied my hands together behind my back. Of course, I tried fighting back, but they still dragged me over to their carriage. That was when I seen Edwin, they had killed him before getting to me.”

“Yes. When Tanaka had contacted me and told me what happened, I left immediately to look for you. I first tried following the path you had taken and that was when I found Edwin. I told the other servants to bring him here, but I felt I needed to help look for you in the meantime.”

“I broke down when I seen him. I tried fighting them even more, but they ended up knocking me out with a cloth that had contained some type of chemical.” I then paused. “Did you have your sword with you? And do you remember what it smelled like?” He asked. “Unfortunately no, that was the one time I had forgotten to bring it with me from my previous lesson. And not at all, but it didn’t take long at all.” I answered. “I might have a pretty good idea on what it was...”

“When I woke up, I was in a small cage with my hands still tied up. I couldn’t recognize the place at all, and I was hoping to see anyone I had recognized, but to no luck. The room was dim, and everyone there were wearing masks around their eyes.”

“You were in a black market auction, weren’t you?” He asked. “Yes! I ended up there twice.” I answered. “Twice? I’ve heard about those auctions being held every so often, but I’ve never been able to find out where. I knew there was one being held around the time you disappeared, and we tried searching high and low to find out where in hopes to get to you before it was too late, but we were never able to find out. But we never gave up on looking for you.” I nod my head as I continue on.

“By the time everyone placed their bids, I was taken out of the cage by the same people that took me. I was terrified because they said I could be used as a decoration or a pet. I could be kept whole and healthy or be sold for parts!” I was now crying as I felt like it had just happened. I felt myself being wrapped in a hug, and I felt safe again. “I’m so sorry, love. I’m so glad you’re okay now. You don’t have to continue on if you don’t want to.” After a few moments I started to calm down. I decided to continue on anyway, so I let go from him.

“The person who bought me used me as a servant of his own, but worse. I didn’t know how to cook, but I was forced to anyway. When it wasn’t to his liking, or completely terrible, I was tortured. He would trash the place on purpose and throw parties for me to clean. When everyone was drunk out of their minds...... They would get inappropriate with m-me!” He sat down next to me to help calm me down. “Amora. I am so sorry you had to go through that.”
