Chapter 100: RESCUE MISSION

Louis dragged his feet, trying to keep up his pace so he didn't get lashed as he had already reached his limit.

"Move, move," the guard in charge shouted, hitting a whip on the table, which startled the slaves. "You old man, we won't sleep here if you don't work, there won't be any food for you!" he pointed at Louis, who was slow compared to the rest.

Louis inhaled deeply, with the side of his eyes closing. He tried to keep his eyes open and hit the steel before it was placed in the furnace, but he ended up hitting his own hand and writhed in pain.

"What is wrong with you? Stand up from there now!" the guard commanded, going to whip the man.

Oriana entered the room with Adric. The moment she saw that Louis was about to get whipped, she ran to cover him with her body.

"Who are-" the guard who was ready to whip Oriana too paused when he saw the Crown Prince. "Your Highness," he bowed.
