Chapter 54

GRAND LORD VLADYA

Grand Lord Vladya strode toward the gardens of Blackstone accompanied by Yaz, who provided a detailed account of the farming conditions in Brookwood-a sizable village in Urai renowned for its fertile lands. Despite the efforts of their best farmers, this season's

crop production was significantly lower compared to the previous one.

As they walked. Vladya observed the toiling slaves and the soldiers training on the opposite side of the field.

"My dear lord. Vladya?" a familiar voice called out.

Vladya turned to see Mistress Sinai approaching. He took her outstretched hand and placed a respectful kiss upon it. "To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?"

I apologize for interrupting you, but there are matters I wish to discuss," she said.

Vladya exchanged a meaningful look with Yaz, signaling for the head soldier to depart. Left alone with Sinai, he turned his attention to her. "What seems to be the matter?"

I wish to punish one of your slaves severely. I thought it appropriate to inform you, considering he was rally acquired. After all, you undertook the journey yourself to buy him." Vladya furrowed his brow. "Whom exactly are we referring to?"

"The young prince."

Grand Lord Vladya tilted his head in thought. What has he done?"

"I simply do not like him. He grates on my nerves."

"I don't recall you spending much time with the boy for him to have such an effect on you. Or am I mistaken?" Lord Vladya questioned.

However, he is a slave-a human slave. I don't
