His fake son. Have you found anything else useful lately?
No.
Nothing at all?
No.
Are you pregnant yet?
No.
Are you sure you haven’t been pregnant and maybe lost it after a couple of months?
It could happen to an abundant male, and Lumi would certainly notice if he were bleeding from his ass and shitting blood. He’d also never felt the supposed strange cramps which meant he’d already conceived.
I have not been pregnant at all.
I knew the fault was yours and not mine.
Lumi swallowed as the tip of his quill hovered over the ink jar. Of course, it was his fault. He'd often been reminded.
Are you still being fucked by a good deal of the court?
Yes.Lumi took a deep breath.They never get tired of me.
Just like me. What about Prince Jaki? Does he still fuck you too?
Lumi flicked his eyes up at the steely sky through the window before he wrote his lie.When he feels like it.
Whore.
The truth hurt.
I bet Prince Jaki isn’t as good as me.
Lumi focused on the grey sky for another moment before he wrote.He’s nothing like you.
The last bit was true in every way, and he could imagine the other writer smirking and thinking his bedroom skills and cock were better than Prince Jaki’s.
We’ll be together very soon. I need you to come back now. Pick a night within one week and get to the spot. I've already sent them to get you, and they're likely there already.
Lumi’s breath hitched as the parchment blurred. What? No, no, no. He couldn’t. His freedom wasn’t supposed to end yet. He was supposed to have one more year where he pretended and convinced himself his freedom was forever. For a moment, he swore he felt the shackle on his wrist, and his hand shook as he wrote.
I’m supposed to stay another year. My contract.
So? Is your ass so great that Elswere will chase you down? He’ll find somewhere else to stick his cock.
But I could find out more. I’ll try to get more resin too.
I don’t need it, and I already knew that place is stagnant. I’d rather you come back now. I’ve already sent the boat, andthe men have likely been waiting for a couple of nights already. They’ll be watching every night. Starting tonight, you have one week to get to it. Do you understand me? Just because you signed a contract with him doesn’t mean I don’t own you. I will always own you. You obey me first. You know what I'll do to you if you disobey.
Lumi’s hands trembled, and his heart nearly stopped when he heard the squeaky door down below close with a bang.
Yes.
Next to the yes, he scrawled a shaky triangle which meant it wasn’t safe anymore. The other would know not to expect further messages. He replaced the lid, wiped the quill on the parchment, and shoved it all back into the space. The words would fade entirely in a few hours.
Lumi was leaning against a window with his cloak closed around him to hide his slight shakiness. The sight of Prince Jaki both helped and worsened it. He’d never expected to see him up there.
