Chained Hearts: From Slavery to Sovereignty

Cassian had lived his life in the most miserable way. He had scrubbed the floors and washed the clothes in the cold winter and done everything just to please his uncle’s family, but in return, they sold him to a merchant only for a pouch of coins. And the merchant decided to gift him to the king of Aetherlyn, a faraway kingdom from his small village to show his loyalty and curry favor from the king. And he was the lucky one from the group to be choosen by the king. Thus he got the position of palace servant. Cassian thought maybe his life in the palace would be different, but he was bound to be disappointed as the people in the palace were far more sinister and ruthless. Scheming ran in their blood. And can anyone tell him why his path always crossed with the notorious first prince of the kingdom? The seemingly cold prince had an unpredictable temper. And why was he always drawn to him like a moth to a light? Will Cassian be able to survive in the palace where the true faces are hidden behind masks, or will he become more entangled in their schemes and just become a mere pawn in their game?

Chapter 53: A Nightmare

There is only one thing he could do now, and that is to run, run far away from them; he could not let them catch him.

The desperation clawed at his mind with every step he took; the pain was shearing through every inch of his body; he could not withhold it anymore. But he doesn't have any other option either.

The dense branches of the forest were cutting his skins almost every minute, and the serene of night was mocking him because he could not tell if the silence of night was something good or if he should worry at the tiniest noise behind him. Because they were still behind him and following him.

but the silence was also suffocating him. The fear in his heart is increasing every minute; he feared that it was the calm before the storm. and any minute they will attack him from the shadows.
