Chapter 23

I was back in Milan's room and I was alone in it. Milan had gone to talk to his brother and he had locked me in the room again since he was scared I would run away because he had said that he can't let me go back home.

I hadn't even thought of running away. I had spent my time alone thinking of what he said about Crista coming here in the morning to stay with me and honestly, that plan had no disadvantages.

Crista and I haven't exactly had the best life. The village we lived in was very poor and it had problems like food shortage, drought, bushfires and bandit attacks. Bandit attacks were even more frequent than the rest and most of the time, the bandits didn't only take their food and money... they also kidnapped and raped women.

Some of the people in the village had gone to the King to tell him about some of the problems he could help with but he ignored us seeing as our village wasn't even on the map.
