"He would go around beating the children as he wished. Abe and Alendro got the most beating as they were the oldest. Alendro wasn't physically as strong as Abe hence he would collapse after a few punches. But Abe stood still. He was physically the strongest among our other kids," a bitter look crossed her face.
"The king had a wicked fascination. He would beat someone until they cry for mercy. Naturally, anyone would cry for mercy as early as they could but Abe refused to beg. He would bleed until he drops to the ground. His stubbornness made the king angrier."

"Ereza would get his occasional beatings and Eric would also get beaten like there's no tomorrow. Only Alexander got saved from our cruelness," she made a disgusting face.
