In the small city of Greyl, there is only one noble, A knight, sire Barristan who is one out of many nobles in the world of Aetheria, he only punishes his offendants in three ways.
"Either they become his servants or maidens or he sells them as servants or maidens or uses them to gather resources in the advent of a raid. It's only very rare for him to execute a slave," Kate enlightened Lex.
A thoughtful look appeared on Lex's face, he absolutely knew all that she had said but wasn't going to miss the slightest opportunity of engaging her in a conversation.
"So sire Barristan's declaring my execution was merely a bluff to show to the other noble's who had attended his daughter's party."
"Yes," confirmed Kate, a warm smile forming on her face.
"Looks like we'll get to pick up dungeon resources together then," Lex spoke, smiling sheepishly.
"Not really," female slaves are usually rarely allowed to participate in dungeon works.
She then murmured, "I'll likely be sold to a tavern or used as a maiden in the nobles abode."
Lex, shocked, fell into thoughts, there were many things he had written in his story but he hadn't really paid much attention to the slaves and servants within, just like every other writer.
He then proceeded to ask a question which he had no answer to.
"Can you buy out a maiden?" He asked inquisitively towards Kate.
Kate pondered for a short while.
"I doubt, only if you possess coin and there's no way for a slave to make money here in Greyl."
Lex sighed, that was true, not only in Greyl, but in any city, even in the real world.
He was about to say one more thing, when the knight who had thrown him into the cell earlier walked into their midst.
Lex stared up at the green armoured knight.
The armoured Knight also gazing back at him.
He untied the chains of the cell.
"Are you Gorin, the servant boy?"
Lex didn't have to look to see the betraying look on Kate, he had told her he was Lex.
Lieing at the beginning of such a cradle relationship was a bad idea.
He then answered, "I'm Lex."
"Suit yourself," the knight spoke grudgingly, he then continued.
"The noble's daughter would like an audience with you."
"Me?" Asked Lex stunned as he hadn't recalled any sort of relationship with him and the noble's daughter in his memories.
He glanced towards Kate, she had already went back into her cell, there was no trace of her except for the glowing sharp scary eyes that glared at him from within.
Lex sighed as he stood, it was only natural for her to back down, it all depended on him now, their relationship wasn't strong enough for her to believe in him to that extent.
So this was were they are meant to part ways, still, Lex promised himself to get her out from the prison cell, if he had the slightest chance, he then handed himself over to the green armoured knight.

In the palaces library, the arousing figure of the noble's daughter could be seen seated at a particular corner, books piled at her front, she stared intently at the words in the pages, eyes darting from one direction to the other, the history of the world had always interested her.
As she went through the scrolls, the hair colour of one of the descendants of the Gregor the immortal reminded her of the scene that had occured in a party that was held personally for her of recent.
She studied the page in the scroll, her personal guard, Dane, walked into the library, dragging along with him a pale looking boy about the age of the daughter.
"You may leave us, Dane," spoke the noble's daughter, still concentrated on the scroll she studied.
Dane looked like he wanted to say something but walked out of the the premises immediately.
"You're probably wondering why you are here, right? Well, of course you are," the noble's daughter teased.
"As you know, I'm Elle, sire Barristan's daughter. There was a party earlier today and though most won't have noticed it, but we were quite pressured, both me and my father, most of the nobles who had come may seem like our close friends, but we both know the popular saying.
'Even noble's related by blood, as far as they are nobles would remain enemies till the end.'
"Let me not bore you with my speeches.
"What I mean is that, the stunt you pulled gave my father the opportunity to resist any sudden attack or invasion from the other nobles.
He wished to annihilate you to resist them further but I stopped him just in time.
He doesn't have the time to say it personally but I'm here to say thank you," Elle spoke, her face still focused on her book.
"I hope to continuously abide by his highness wishes," Lex spoke, his head bowed towards the ground curtly.
Elle raised her head up from the scroll she studied, stating at Lex who remained on his bowing posture, she then gazed back at the scroll then spoke.
"What did you say your name is?"
"I am Lex, your honor."
Elle paused for a while, wrapping the scroll as she stood, "Rise, Lex."
Lex rose from the ground, his head nodded to the ground, she then spoke, "You'll be given the job of gathering resources in tomorrow's dungeon raid, be prepared."
"Yes, your highness," answered Lex.
Elle squinted her eyes as she gazed back at Lex again, something felt off in his wordings.
Her mind recalling the scroll she just read , she shrugged it off, going back to sit.
"Your highness," Lex abruptly called, "can u ask for a favor, ask on, The job I'm going on tomorrow, could I go on there along with every other person in the cell with me?"
"That's quite generous Lex, yes you can," answered Elle.
"Yes," Lex spoke, amidst his thoughts he just killed two birds with one stone.
"I have a request of my own too," Elle continued.
