Aiden watched Hazel reach for his belt and let out a helpless sigh.
Being intimate with Hazel at a time like this made Aiden feel deeply uncomfortable.
He wanted to refuse, but when he saw those pleading eyes, he couldn't find the words to speak.
"Wait," Aiden said, grabbing her hand. "Why can't I just buy you using materials directly?"
Hazel took a deep breath and shook her head. "Slaves from Suncrest Mercantile are never sold to outsiders."
"Besides, there are other human women currently being trained. Soon, they'll become just like me, if not even worse."
"If I can't leave, I'd rather try to raise my status. That way, I can help them later."
As she spoke, Hazel's breathing grew heavier.
When she pulled down his pants, Aiden could feel her burning breath against him.
"The potion has already taken effect. We have no other choice," Hazel whispered, opening her mouth and closing her eyes as a single tear slid down her cheek.
