Bab 15: The Warehouse
*cough, cough,cough*
Ouch, my head...Penelope slowly waking up.
Where am I? She thought to herself.
"Oh, she's finally waking up?"
Penelope startled, finding a voice belonging to a man that she had seen right before she was hit in the back of the head by her stepmother, Lyria.
*Where am I and what is it that you want from me?*
James had spoken
"You are an important merchandise that will be exchanged with an important client, so don't even think about escaping, the moment you try to flee you will be captured again with much violence."
Penelope tried moving her hands only to find them handcuffed.
"Where is my stepmother?"
" I don't need to report that to you, all you need to do is be obedient "
Daniel, his subordinate placed a food of tray by Penelope's feet.
"I will not eat what you give me, What if you drug me?"
" whether you eat or not is up to you"
James along with Daniel walked outside the basement door, locking it.
Penelope with her ankles chained, Looked at her surroundings only to find what looked to be a very handsome young man.
Blonde hair, blue eyes and creamy skin, but very skinny to the point to where you can see his visible cheek bones, and was dressed in rags.
Penelope grabbed the loaf of bread that was on her tray and had offered it to the young man,
" my name is Penelope Wright, May I ask what your name is?"
"What's the use of knowing my name? We are both going to be sold, so why get to know each other? You can keep your bread, Your going to need it. They only give us food once a day"
"Well, Do you know where we are? And where we will be going?"
"Why are you persistent in asking me questions? What makes you think I would know?"
"Because I am scared! I just want to get back home and see my sister, and if I knew where we were, we could plan on an escape"
"Well, Goodluck. Don't you think if there was a way out we could of left by now?"
"Well that's because you've simply given up".
Penelope feeling frustrated, geez... guess I'll just keep to myself then.

Later on in the evening,
"clink, clink"
"Hey Boss, How did you manage to get the 2nd Prince , Cedric Louis Pendergrass? "
Speaking to a subordinate, James smirked
" I received a lot of money from the Empress. He is no longer the prince as long as we meet the man on the dock. Cedric will leave for the country of Gum with a different name."
Penelope pretending to sleep, what?? The prince?? Trying not to flinch.
"Then the girl will be here for another night right? Can I test the goods boss?"
James smacked his subordinate the back of his head.
" Do not even think of touching the merchandise, she needs to be in good condition so she can fetch for a high price"
"Ow!, yes boss"
The subordinate, Daniel Reef walked over to Cedric., kicking him in the stomach and called him out
"Hey prince, You better wake up and eat your meal. Do you think your too good for street food? You think I have all the money in the world to feed you? Hurry up and eat quickly. "
Cedric flailing on the ground helplessly, looked up with sharp eyes at Daniel
" I'd rather eat shit".
Daniel already pissed by his sharp eyes, " what was that you piece of shit prince?"
Daniel grabbed him by the collar and started punching his face repeatedly. Then once Daniel came to a stop , he grabbed Cedric's lemon honey blonde hair from his bangs and grabbed the food and stuffed it in his mouth.
" Oh, but your Highness we must make sure you eat. We can't let the prince not have his meal"
Penelope not pretending to sleep anymore with eyes wide open with freight.
What do I do? I'm helpless here, almost in tears.
Daniel stood up and looked over at Penelope,
" What are you looking at? Thinking of ways to help? Mind your own business. This doesn't involve you."
Daniel walked over to Penelope, put his thumb and finger under her chin and lift it up.
"I can always help you forget what you just saw"
"Daniel, that's enough, I told you the merchandise is off limits"
"Yes boss, well then I am going to go grab some drinks from the guild. "
" sure, I'll see you tomorrow"
James thought, I should go get rest tonight as well.
