So my mother was trapped at the brothel with no way out and soon I would be as well. I only four months remained until then.
For now, I was a free woman but once I was put on the courtesan registry I would belong to Kona then I could never leave.
Suddenly I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard shrieking from the servants I was working with. I saw they had left the laundry and were looking at something from the corner of the wall nearby. Out of curiosity I left the laundry momentarily and to the ither maids.
The laundry area of the manor was near the entrance and front, separated by a small wall.
In the distance I saw a figure arrive on horse back to the estate. A young, handsome man, fairly tall, with a muscular build. He got down from his horse along with his attendants and they headed for the entrance to the house.
A shiver went down my spine as soon as I saw him. I had almost forgotten Kaizen was returning to the estate.
