Hello there R and R please!
Warnings-Slavery,bad grammar
Arthur hated the sales done in Cenred's kingdom. What they sold and who they sold their cargo to.
There was a crowd around 1 particular stall. There was a cage in the middle.A cage containing a naked boy with the ears and tail of a cat. The boy was shaking and was burrowing in on his knees.
"Come on lads!Come take a look at this little freak! Going to the highest bidder! Includes lead!" The slavers last comment earned a loud laugh from the crowd.
This sale was one thing Arthur would stop if it were his kingdom. The poor Kid shouldn't be exploited because of his differences.
He watched as the boy's long black tail curled around his body and his black ears folded back onto his head,flat, shying away from the attention.
"15 pieces of silver"Arthur called, the crowd turned to him.
"20!' Another knew that voice. Jared the brothel owner. He knew how much the cat boy was worth.
"50 pieces of silver! Your stupid if you try" Arthur yelled trying to shun anybody taking the boys freedom.
"Sold to the very rich man" The cage bearing man cried.
" how would you like him young man? Caged,Chained,Castrated?" The last was said as a joke but Arthur could tell he was serious at the same time.
"None, all organs in tacked but clothed is the only requirement"
Arthur waited outside the tent for the boy to be clothed and paid for.
The fabric moved as the cat boy was shoved out onto his hands and tail was flicking side to side boy silently angered.
"It's OK" Arthur said offering his hand to the cat.
" Thank you sir" the cat boy said carefully holding Arthurs hand for support.
When their hands met Arthur was surprised by the softness of the boys hands,by how pure they felt.
The clothes the boy was wearing were to big as the neckerchief wad hanging from his neck so the leather collar was visible.
The boy was silent all the walk back to the patrols , he seemed to be to focussed of trying to burrow his ears under his hair.
" Can you stop! Your ears don't need to be hidden"Arthur said,frustrated with the cat snarls that he could hear from the boy.
"Sorry Sir,habit it was easier before Gregor cut my hair"The boy said blushing and stuffing his feet.
"I'm Arthur not sir"Arthur replied.
"Names Merlin Wylt".
Hope you enjoyed next chapter soon!
