I'm just a slave: chapter 13
Shadow's POV
I smiled and said a quick goodbye to sonic before he left to go back to his parents. I turned to walk back to the entrance of the mansion when a voice stopped him. "that was a surprising scene there, slave 4405." I heard that hatefully familiar voice of the duke. I turned back around and saw him staring at me with a smirk. "i hope you know what you're doing. you don't want anything to happen to sonic, afterall." The duke chuckled and walked towards me. "what do you mean? if there is someone who will get punished for it it's me. i don't have to worry about sonic." I said only to recieve another chuckle as an answer. What was so amusing to him? "like father, like son i guess." The duke chuckled. "what do you mean? how do you know my father?" I asked. Just like my mother, i didn't know him very well. All i knew was somethings that mother had told me. One of those things being that he looked alot like me. I wasn't able to know him myself. He and mom were seperated right after i was born. The duke chuckled again. I hated when he did that. What was so amusing to him about me asking how he knew my father anyway?
"you mean you don't know? hasn't mommy told you?" He mocked me, making me growl. "it's very surprising, she was proud of her high class status after all." He laughed. "wait...what?" I asked in shock. What did he mean with 'her high class status'? "your mommy really hasn't told you anything, has she?" He mocked again. "just tell me what the hell you're talking about!" I yelled. This guy was making me pissed. "i'm talking about the fact that your mommy used to be a princess. the heir to the throne in fact." He said with a smirk. My eyes widened in shock. What did he just say?
Sonic's POV
I sighed and tried to drink as much wine as i could without getting drunk in order to get through all these conversations with all these diffirent poeple from both royal, lords and dukes. I couldn' thandle all these conversations without the wine. Especially not those with little princesses. I despised those. They all gave me a headache.
I emptied another glass and my mother told me to be carefull with that wine. I nodded in agreement as i didn't want to get drunk and maybe accidently tell everyone about my secret relationship with my slave. That was main reason i wasn't making myself drunk enough. I sighed in annoyance when another lord's daughter made her way over to me. She seemed to be the friend of the duke's daughter. Or in other words, my future wife. She kept bragging about how she was so happy that her friend and me were gonna marry. But i knew that it never was going to happen. I was trying to think of a way so shadow and me could live together without being pestered with the fact that i was the son of a rich family and shadow was my slave. And if someone asked after shadow being a slave, then i couldn't have any proof against it. Shadow still had that burn mark on his lower back. His fur hadn't grown over the burn and there was no fur to grow on the burn itself.
I saw another girl walked towards me. I hoped this night would end soon. She was about to say something untill i heard yelling from in the hallway. I became nervous when i recognized the loud voice as shadow's.
