Note sure how to answer that, honestly 🤔 Maybe you're used to stories with a faster pace?

Dante dipped the brush into the bucket of water and grimaced when a splash hit him next to the eye. His hands were bloated and aching, his back and knees ached no less. He had just put the brush back on the floorboards when, with a cheerful shriek, five-year-old Jack ran through the banquet room, followed by Maisie and Jessy. The naked children's feet left prints and a few blades of grass and Dante swallowed hard instead of calling after them, what was furious laying on the tip of his tongue.

Well Alice's words "get to know yourself" leave a lot of room for interpretation... Alice standing against tradition of owning a personal slave might be reason enough for her parents to force a slave on her 🤷🏻‍♂️ though Dante will ask the question later on. Thank you ❤️

Slippery slope Sorry. Back to serious. You're right, both siblings see slaves as persons, individuals, and not as breathing objects. Well about the Sapphires themselves we don't hear that much, because Dante himself knows not much, but in general, yes (we meet her later on). My lore is sprinkled all over 😘 (Though this is set in a republic the monarchy times are over since a while, no courtesan therefore.)

Might Dante's fantasy give him some ideas on how to use that stuff Frank is the little brother of Dante's new mistress.

@Cane23 found already the right words, I would say. Though I'm curious now as to what Jackie would have done if Ludo hadn't told her about Arthur. Weird in a funny way, but true. I guess he would have laughed about it, if someone had told him beforehand.

'Making yourself useful' initially consisted of spending hours cleaning the windows on the ground floor with TJ. As in the kitchen, TJ happily babbled on, gossiped and prattled about people Dante didn't know but, according to TJ, would soon meet. The last time Dante had to clean windows was when he was a teenager, and when they finally finished, he was not very happy about the prospect of having to do it regularly. Everything about him was kind of wet and his fingers were all bloated. "You

Background in which sense? I really dislike lore/info dumps so I'll resort to them only if it's unavoidable. Discovering characters and world bit by bit, savory piece after savory piece is more my alley. But of course everyone can ask and I see whether I can/should answer And given the fact that Dante comes from a metropolis in the very south and now got dropped off on a farm way north, this gives a lot of opportunities to compare and share knowledge and traditions. (If I figure out how to upload imagines I'll give you a map...) In the traditional surroundings she grew up, Alice is definitley one of the most progressive characters. I'm afraid right now he would simply push you off he's not used to this kind of attention/affection. And for sure such a very different household from what he knows will prevent him from relaxing anytime soon. Let's hope he can enjoy this soon 😎😇

Dante knelt on the wooden porch, as tense as a bowstring. Mistress Alice stepped aside and he was already afraid she would simply leave him there alone, but she yelled, no less impressive than Ma before: "Mikey!" Then she turned to Dante: "Get up. Besides, you can look at me." He had just opened his mouth when she yelled for Mikey again, and when he stood, a teenager came running. He was wearing black shorts and a white t-shirt, was barefoot and so covered with spots that the daily sha

Thank you! Not to worry you, but Trouble follows Dante normally closely around... Yeeeeeaaaaah, when it comes to Alice, wait and see. When there is a bit more context I would like to hear your opinion on her, though.

Not exactly. no...

Upper-class slave Dante is sold from the glittering metropolis to a lonely farm. There Carolyn Mitchell not only rules over the slaves with an iron grip, but also over her family. To find his place and a new home there is hard, especially because his new mistress Alice is only superficially interested in him, he clashes right away with the work slave Tom and Frank, his mistress' brother, seems to haven taken quite a liking to him...

The sales hall had emptied and by the absence of customers and thus without sales talks, the clinking of the chains sounded even louder in the ears. The suppressed noises of the slaves became even more insistent. The orders of the merchants and their overseers became even sharper. It was the third of five sales days and the business was traditionally the weakest. Dante shifted his weight a little, the stool on which he sat creaked slightly. The saleswoman, who owned him for the moment, walk

If this story had a different ring or two in places I would expect that nice gay cop to lose some clothes sooner or later. Probably better if not. Too serious, this story. Anyway: there it was, the sentence for the title! I love finding bits like this ❤️ And I love this story.

Sir! Yes, sir!
