That Prince Is A Girl The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate by Kiss Leilani

Chapter 395:

“They were better when the ladies were here,” Wegai continued. “They might not have shown it, but our masters cared for the slave princesses. They are an essential part of all of this. We should have never let them send them away.”

Yaz cast a sideways glance at him. “You say that as if we could have done anything about it. You are forgetting something vital. Those ladies were freed. They are no longer slaves. The first time they were brought here, they had no choice in the matter. No human returns to Urai of their own free will, especially not ones who suffered as much as the slave princesses did.”

Wegai fell silent.

“Your master’s female had it worse,” Yaz finally muttered. “During her last days here, our people tried to kill her. Everyone hated her. She had to be surrounded by troops to leave the city safely.”

“That was two years ago. Things are different now. Our people have more to worry about, like their daily bread.” Wegai turned to face him. “We have to do this, Yaz. We have to try. Yes, it may not go well, there may be challenges, but we do not run from fights.”

He extended a hand. “What do you say, head soldier of Blackstone? Are you in?”

Yaz met his gaze, resolve in his eyes. He clasped Wegai’s hand in a firm grip. “I am.”
