It seemed like she would melt if he just touched her with his hands. It must be a dream. Isha stared at her, bewildered.

“Wake up!” She shouted, her clear voice piercing his stupor instantly.

Isha shuddered, awakening from his cloudy half-consciousness. The girl was looking at him with her lips tightened in dismay. There were no words for the horror of his condition. His emaciated body was streaked with dried blood, and several wounds were festering.

“Oh, my God…” The girl breathed. She was shocked that he was alive at all. Clambering down the ladder to the bottom of the hole, she slipped the gag from his mouth and then pulled out a ring of keys to remove his chains.

The pain as the chains pulled tight around his skin was wrenching. Isha gritted his teeth, but a suppressed moan still escaped him.

“Aghh…”

It had been such a long time since he made a sound, his parched throat burned with the exertion. Quickly, the girl lifted a small bottle of water to his mouth, tilting it so the sweet water flowed slowly over his tongue. Once he had emptied the bottle, he looked at the girl again, licking his lips.

Who is she?

As his mind cleared, doubts rose. This girl was in a place that belonged to slave traders. Had she been captured as a slave? She was…beautiful.

He couldnt believe that she had suddenly come to save him. And she wasnt a Kurkan, either.

“Im Leah De Estia,” she said, as if she had seen the distrust in his eyes. The motion of her small lips caught his eyes. “I belong to the Estian royal family.”

Her identity was as surprising as her presence here in the first place. Even Isha had heard that members of the royal family of Estia had silver hair; it was an extremely unusual color on the continent. His eyes went to those silver strands.

“Can you move?” She asked gently.
