In the palace garden a young boy with black hair and a scar on his face was practicing hard with his spear as always. A man approached him. "Hakuryuu I want to talk with you." The boy turned to the man, Kouen who stood before Hakuryuu with a serious expression on his face like always. Seriously, the boy couldn't recall the last time when he saw his brother smile. Kouen didn't wait to continue. "I think you old enough, to have your own slave. Tomorrow we will go to the market, to buy you one. Would you like to come with us?" Straight to the point like always.

"It's nice of you to think about me, but I don't want a slave. I'm fine by myself."

"Ï think you don't understand. Everyone in the royal family needs to have a personal slave. That's our fathers wish so it's an order which we must obey. It's not a matter of fact that you want one or not. Tomorrow you will come with me and that's the end of the argument." Finished the man and left his little brother speechless.

Hakuryuu wanted to protest, but couldn't. Their father's wish is absolute even though he is not his father but uncle. Still the man toke him and his sister in after the dead of his father and older brothers. He should be grateful that he wasn't killed right away when his majesty died and Hakuryuu's uncle remarried to Gyokuen, to his mother and became king of the Kou Empire. That was the time when he ordered his sons to have keep slaves. The youngest prince hated the idea of slavery but not many people agreed with him. Koumei even said that slavery needed to keep up the order and peace within a country, and if we talk a country as big as the Kou Empire then we need a lot of salves.

At this time, the Kou Empire conquered almost the entire world and, there was a good chance that it will unite the world under one king. But that means that the sons and daughters of other country became the slaves of the Kou Empire. Just the mere thought made Hakuryuu stomach turn upside down, it was just sick. Take away the freedom of people and make them suffer for the rest of their days. That's why he couldn't stand to watch as the market ended and people, men, women and children were dragged away on chain leash begging and crying and screaming. Some of them were beaten with sticks or fist, others kicked and others whipped.

It was sick to watch as those psychopaths betted defenseless people on the ground and other just laugh at it, like it was some sort of show or something.

Hakuryuu's heart broke when he saw a blonde boy who tried to reach a little girl as she was dragged away from him to the man who just bought her. She wasn't even ten maybe seven-eight year old, and screaming "brother, help me, I'm scared" and the blonde boy was screaming at the men to get his little sister back. They took out the whip, and slash it across a few times on the back of the boy. After that he was half conscious and easy to drag away to a girl with beautiful long and wavy blond hair. The said person just watches that with expressionless face.

In the market were other vendors who sold fruits, fish and thing like that. They just watched and no one interfered. Hakuryuu pulled his coat around himself even more, he was filled with anger, wanted to help the foreign boy and girl but he was stopped by Koumei.

"You shouldn't interfere. It's not your business what happens what happens to them."

"Brother, if you want me to buy a slave, would you let me look around in the market by myself?" Asked the youngest prince. Kouen looked at him, and then nodded. "Only if you don't make any trouble. Not to the slaves and not to their masters. Do you get me?" "Yes brother and thank you."

With that Hakuryuu made his leave.

The boy was wondering in the market looking with sad eyes to the slaves that waited to be bought by someone and hoped that that someone is a kind hearted person, or at least he or she won't punish them too harshly.

As he was wondering his ears catch something that sounded like a muted cry. It came from an alley and he almost missed it. He couldn't help, but investigate. He ventured further down in the alley, where was dark and cold and silent. Well silent except the cry of agony and laughter of several people, men.

The alley took a turn and Hakuryuu peeked in. The scene he saw left him speechless. Eight-nine men – naked from the bottom down – was raping a young boy. There was blood and semen everywhere and the teen's rugs where torn of and left on the ground. But the worst was the boy expression. Defeated and filled with fear and pain, his gold eyes empty. He didn't protested and he didn't beg for them to stop. Even though there was blood everywhere and after one was finished the nest one came and so forth. He just there on his hands and knees, accepting it.

The young prince couldn't take it anymore. It was their luck that he didn't bring his spear with him, they would be dead now. But he wasn't a strong fighter. Hakuryuu didn't realized this when he stood in front of one.

"What's the meaning of this? Stop it immediately!"

They did as it was told, but it was because they were a little shocked. They didn't bother to step aside from the blond. Hakuryuu was pissed off. "What are you doing with him?"

"We just having a good time aren't we Alibaba?" asked one of the men from the blonde, so his name was Alibaba. "Yes master" answered the blond in a monotone and obedient tone, didn't bother to look up. Slaves can't look in the eyes of other people, especially in their owners.

"Young man. Why don't you join in too? I assure you Alibaba is talented in pleasuring others. I specially trained him for this."

"Are you his master? And you selling your slaves body in an alley?"

"Yes."

"How many?"

"Excuse me?"

"How many do you ask for the slave? I want to buy him."

"I'm sorry young man, but Alibaba is not for sell, he brought me so much until this. I still can use him."

"500.000? I think that would satisfy you. That money would be enough for the rest of your life. By the way, no one would give this much for a used sex slave. Maybe just 10.000 max. This is an offer you can say no."

"I really can't say no to it, young man" said the man hungry for money. He took what Hakuryuu offered him, and him and the others when away. They had no business here anymore leaving Hakuryuu alone with the broken slave.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes master."

"Please, don't lie to me. You clearly are hurt. Can you stand up?"

"Yes master." Alibaba tried hard to stand up on his feet using the wall as support. When he was up Hakuryuu covered him in his coat that he take off. Alibaba was shocked and a little bit afraid. Flinch when they skin connected. Hakuryuu manage to act as he didn't saw it.

"We going to go to your new home now. Do you need help?"

"No master."

Alibaba manage to walk alone without the help of the prince, but the said prince was ready to catch the salve if he lost his footing. He was impressed how the salve was able to stand in his feet and walk. He imagined the pain the slave was feeling but fear from punishment made him silent. In reality Alibaba couldn't feel pain juts numbness.

After years of abuse and rape he got used to it, and managed to close it out at the moment when it was happening. But he knows that after a few hours, it's going to be the living hell for him. He didn't know what to think about his new master, who was around the same age as him. He only had older masters this far. Maybe he would be a little bit mercy full.
