Chapter One Hundred & Twenty Six: A Command

It was not not until the next day Dana remembered that she had asked Darius before her imprisonment to come to her room. Having recovered from her humiliation the previous day she sought the boy out but did not see him.

She sent a note through the head butler demanding that Darius come to her room but she got no response even though the butler assured her he had ensured that her message had been delivered. Hours later when she had waited for the boy and had not seen him she marched to the servants' quarters herself determined to find him.

She did.

He was in the stables with some group of boys.

She saw that he was on the floor rolling in the sand while the other boys stood by and watched. Whenever he stopped rolling or he begged for his release the tallest boy amongst the group would use a horse whip to spank him and Darius would let out a scream and this would provoke rancous laughter among the boys.
