“Agghhh!”

The screaming child was not even half Ishas size. From the disbelief in his face, it seemed he had been loved well by his parents, before he was sold into slavery.

“Help, help me!”

Like the other Kurkan slaves, he most likely had been sold because he was a half-breed. It was common practice, for the first few days of their captivity, to beat them with iron bars to break them. But this boy was taking it worse than most, and the slave tamer turned his gaze to Isha.

“You,” he said, gesturing with his iron bar. “Come here. Ill only beat you a little.”

“……”

“Or you can take his beating instead.”

His smile made his intentions clear. He was deliberately trying to provoke Isha, and as the usual rebellion rose, a hand shot out to grab his arm.

“Isha,” Mel whispered, calm but firm. “Youll get in trouble if you cause problems again.”

And then he stepped forward in front of the cowering child.

“Stop,” he said. “Or you will die.”

The tamer burst out laughing.

“Looks like there are a lot of them that want beatings today,” he said, shifting targets without hesitation. But Mel was a less satisfying victim, accepting the beating in contented silence. The tamer frowned and smashed the boys forehead with his forehead.

“It hurts a lot, right?” he asked sarcastically.

“…….”

“Youre a lowly slave. I will stop if you beg me.”

Mel spat blood.

“Im Kurkan,” he said through bloody lips. “You cannot break my pride.”

The statement did not impress the tamer. He laughed aloud.

“Pride?” He repeated, as if it were a joke. “What pride have those who sell their own people as slaves?”
