Welcome to the Palace

TAI POV

The only thing I truly remember after meeting the Tall Man at the market, was the large collar being wrenched around my neck. 

The man grinned at me with a cruel smile, pressing his thumb against my lips.

"What a divine little pet~ I'm surprised you don't have a pedigree. I'll have my worker look into some papers for you~" The only thing stopping me from biting this man was the fact that he had obviously come from the Palace. The king was supposed to be extremely kind to his servants, no matter what their job is. Perhaps this could be a change for the better...

I forced a smile and purred at this man. I needed to play this just right. 

"Does the kitten have something to say?"


"I'm just so grateful my Leige. That such a man of your calibre would even consider a pitiful slave like me..."

"The kitten even has manners! Truly an exemplary find. The king will be most pleased with you."

I fake smiled and watched the man chatter with his guardsmen. He orders the guards to handle me with the utmost care, and any bruise found would be one lash with the whip for them. They were extremely gentle with leading me back to the carriage, ensuring I was safely inside before shutting the door. The man sat across from me, smiling pleasantly the entire way back.

The Palace was massive. A huge stone building that loomed over the land like a bad omen. The large gates opened for us, calling us inside as if begging to unlock it's dark interior. The gates swung closed behind us, sealing us away from the outside world. Well, this is it. My new home.

We pulled around the front of the castle, the staff awaited us. The man got out first and was greeted pleasantly by the staff with a 'Good afternoon, sir!' I was lead out afterwards. The man turned to look at me. He smiled extremely wide. He ordered the staff to say hello.

"Welcome to the Palace!" Spoken in a uniform, practiced manner. This was going to be interesting.
