Kapitel 128: Interlude - Ferrovia

If Ferrovia ever thought life at the palace would be better than what he'd been forced to do before, he'd quickly learned that the luxurious conditions came with a price.

A price paid by sacrificing honesty, empathy, and self-respect.

His master, Lanoch, was a leokin man with vast appetites. With Lanoch having secured his position in Aaru's palace, the tournaments that had been almost non-stop took on a different pace.

Tower Lord Savat had ordered Lanoch to test every arena champion, and those that could hold their own against him were allowed to remain. Those that couldn't...

As Ferro applied makeup to the bruise on his lip, he remembered what Lanoch had done only last night.

He'd been testing a beastkin man, one with tiger-like features. The two of them seemed to hate each other at first sight, but Ferro had only been there to hold the drinks. Lanoch was a maven, and his ability to manipulate weight was how he conquered the Coliseum.
