The Set Up

"I'll just get my personal effects then I'm out of here!" 

That was Julius' plan. He had it all figured out, and all he had to do was take the bits and pieces from this place before departing.

As soon as he opened the door, however, he was stopped dead on his tracks.

"W-What is the meaning of this...?!" He asked aloud.

What met his sight more than warranted the question.

"This is..." Julius said in shock as he saw the bodies of Elish's slaves.

He recognized the lady as the person who followed Elish to the auction, and he knew the other slave since he was bought from the auction. 

However, he wasn't sure how they got to his house.

"Is this a trap set up by the rulers? If Sir Li finds out they are here, then..."

He panicked within himself as he looked around him frantically. He quickly shut the door of his house and crashed his butt on the floor as he sighed. 

Why these events were happening to him, he had no idea.
