The Lord's Redemption

**Excerpt** "We meet again, Zeres”, said Lord Ezekiel as his smile widened. He visibly enjoyed the fear he could see and feel from Zeres, but unlike other times, he wasn't here to ruffle the slave merchant’s feathers even though that was his initial plan when he made the long trip to Dintletown “Don't worry. I haven't come here to cause trouble. I want the girl”, he pointed at Meredith on the stage, still smiling as he fixed his black eyes on hers. Meredith almost- almost- sighed in relief. She had expected her buyer to be someone odd but it was a normal person or rather, he looked normal. She didn't know if she could call him normal since he was engaging with such depravity and was pointing and staring at her like she was a piece of meat at the market. For all she knew, he might be chaos in a suit. Meet Meredith, the slave girl owned by the Lord of Velmorea, who took it upon himself to turn her life upside down, even goin as far as dragging her into his darkness On the other hand, there's Lord Ezekiel, the man who has lived long enough to recognize his redemption at first glance and did not hesitate to pay a man's weight in gold to have her for himself.
