Chapter 129 The Request

I return to my room absolutely humiliated. In a way it was flattering, that Caleb’s parents misunderstood and thought that Caleb cared enough about me to want to break traditions and marry me, a member of his harem.

A slave, put on this earth only to serve, never to rise about my station. Or even dream about it.
