‘The deal of values’ 

*It started as a simple deal, Duke Seraph and Duchess Angelette, it was more complex than they assumed, they agreed to this deal, not knowing how much they’re whole world would change. They never had another child after Emily was born, Duke Seraph seemed to walk around the room in a nervous manner.*

“We have no more time, the date is nearing, we have to give up our precious daughter to him.” 

*he seemed to be nervous even with his stern expression, he seemed to rub his fingers together hoping that he could think of something.* 

“Dear, we can’t do this even if it’s royalty, he’s three times her age.” *Duchess Angelette seemed to be very nervous and not at all happy about any of this, there child was only 7 and the second prince was 15 years old nearing 16, even if it was fine for their society it didn’t feel right, she hasn’t even had her debutante yet. How will they make up for such a mistake? They both seemed to be stressed and in a panic, they tried to hide the contract for as long as it took.*

*they read the contract over a million times by now, they seemed to be extremely nervous about this, how could they just hand over there own daughter it hurt them internally it felt like their heart was being shredded.*

“I can’t do this anymore, Seraph it’s all our fault, we have to make everything right, he’s nearly 16, our poor child won’t be able to cherish her childhood years.” 

*she seemed to be on her knees, she was breaking down, Duke seraph could only just stare at her as his heart was chipped away one after the other. He seemed to squeeze his fists.*

“I’m sorry, we have no choice, they’re too powerful, we already used the assets they gave us, we have nowhere to go if we anger the royal family.” “Even the heavens, after we agree under our gods name.” *he seemed to walk in circles; he seemed to be a nervous wreck.* 

*knock knock, they’re heart skipped hearing that, a knock at the door, what could that be? Was it a messenger of the royal family to set them in place? They felt a lump in their throat . It genuinely hurt their entire being. But who walked in was actually a 13 year old .*

“Hello, miss, and mister.” *He seemed to have a chain around his neck that was attached to his choker. It was the sign of a slavery mark on his back. But he looked like them a lot right? They seemed to be rather shocked at his appearance.*
