Huff—puff— It was as refreshing as it could ever be.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡRH05aCgwNa 維尼

Huff—puff— His tensed emotions finally found relief.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4aHvDFFwW 維尼

Huff—puff— His mind cleared up a lot. 8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX1JhbMoc6 維尼

Huff—puff— He only went out for a smoke. Why did he have to hide?8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPhXzQCvb 維尼

‘Aha! You’re smoking!’ Slave 2 emerged from nowhere all of a sudden, which made Slave one jump out of his skin.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkEyDDjzGo 維尼

‘Be quiet!’ Frightened and annoyed, Slave one threw the cigarette butt away. He pounced forward and locked his forearms around Slave two’s throat, shutting him up.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGLZHFhEPN 維尼

Desperately struggling in his arms, Slave 2 gestured with his hand that he would immediately keep quiet, and only then did Slave 1 loosen his grip, who picked up the cigarette and continued to savour it. Slave 2 was like a famished monster, greedily taking deep breaths of the puffs of white smoke puffing out of Slave 1’s mouth.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDIp1gwZXS 維尼

Slave 1 had now finished the cigarette. Still engrossed in the nicotine, the two sat with their backs facing each other and struck up a conversation.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxgF0Cong3 維尼

‘Where did you get that from?’ Slave 2 remembered that Master had forbidden all slaves from smoking.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGgF1WN455 維尼

‘It’s a secret.’ Slave 1 was not keen on spilling the beans, as he was afraid of getting into trouble.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaYjI2khHs 維尼

‘I thought Master made an exception for you!’ A sly grin grew on Slave 2’s face. He now had the goods on Slave 1.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rnIhFpRtT 維尼

‘I have a mouth, a nose, a pair of hands, and a lighter. It is my choice to choose whether I smoke or not. I don’t need permission from Master.’ Slave 1 was indeed a slave, yet his eyes sparkled with freedom.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbKdLGT8l8 維尼

‘No! Master said…’ Slave 2 was a birdbrain, and he didn’t fully understand what Slave 1 had meant by that. After a while, something came across in his mind, and fear arose within him. He couldn’t help but to shudder in terror. ‘Don’t tell me that you came across the “human rights” the disaster victims mentioned about. Don’t listen to them! Master says that’s a pack of evil nonsense. That’s sugar-coating!’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWDl6Pfctj 維尼

‘Master is human, and so are we. We were all made equal in the first place, so nobody has the place to exploit others’ rights.’ Slave 1 laughed bitterly, poking fun at himself for casting pearls before swine.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVeZoBY7AE 維尼

‘Then…’ It finally dawned on Slave 2. In a flash, his thinking had leapt to levels at such a height that was unheard of. ‘Why are we made to do hard labour here?’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05Ec4xz595 維尼

Bang—bang— Apart from the sound of bullets being fired, the two got their answer from the butler. ‘You’re all good for nothing, that’s why!’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhthp2wNx1 維尼

After completing his mission, the butler returned to his warm little woodhouse. He enjoyed the dinner prepared by his lovely wife, which consisted of thin soup, fresh veggies, and bread. It was a huge, sumptuous feast compared to the rotten potatoes given to the slaves. After a full stomach, he cuddled with his wife and drifted off to sleep, satisfied.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGz9TINCTU 維尼

Their beautiful dream was interrupted by a series of rapid knocks at the door. They opened the door, and out there stood several burly men who held them down. It was only after then the mistress in elegant clothes stepped into the house gracefully. ‘It’s so dirty here! Why is there such a stench?’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDBJvi3bJ3 維尼

‘Forgive me, my lady. Please excuse us.’ The butler mistakenly thought that his punishment was due to his mistreatment towards the mistress, and he begged for mercy.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdll7xrt92 維尼

The mistress didn’t even bat an eye at him. She drew her servant’s gun and aimed it at his wife’s belly.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7G0kpD7io 維尼

Bang—Blood flew everywhere.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBeDWz9LOq 維尼

‘You want to be the second lady? You’re good for nothing!’ The mistress let out a laugh of contempt, then left the scene by leading the crowd. She couldn’t care less about the butler behind her, who bid her goodbye on his knees.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WLWmt4AFr 維尼

Just as she stepped into the mansion, the mistress was called to the study.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8xrS04kAF 維尼

Slap—slap—slap—Countless smacks had already dragged across the mistress’ face. Her swollen cheeks were flushed red, and there was blood seeping out from the corner of her mouth.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT17cD7RDZ 維尼

Sitting on the edge of the couch was the master. He was watching the mistress being slapped by his servants the whole time. Meanwhile, he was enjoying his cup of milk tea made by tea leaves of high quality. It was pure, aromatic and smooth. ‘Power is what I give you, not what you have from the start. You should clearly know your place. Don’t make me take away your power.’ A sense of indifference slipped between his words. 8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7eEM4Zw6K 維尼

As the mistress was about to pass out, one of the master’s servants hurried to the study and whispered a few words into his ears.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqlpGH2Da2 維尼

‘Stop.’ The master ordered his attendant and generously put off the mistress’ punishment for the time being. ‘All of you, wait here and look after your mistress. I have business to attend to now. I’ll take care of the second-rate ones later.’ A wave of his hand, and the master left the room with his attendant, leaving the inferior ones behind, utterly stunned.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiIFKpwzKN 維尼

The two got on a carriage and reached the castle to see its owner—the general.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwA4CjqRh0 維尼

The general didn’t bother to care about the fake smile upon the arrivals’ faces. Along with the nobleman beside him, he capriciously examined the master from head to toe.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGCo2TZWXj 維尼

‘His nose isn’t high enough, and his eyes lack lustre…’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZW24bOxiD 維尼

‘The northern rioters live far away from the capital. They’ve only seen your Majesty’s painting, so they can’t really tell the difference. I think we’ll get by from this.’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡcALlpjOysG 維尼

‘Very well then. We shall employ this shabby fellow.’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HzDJwWvWL 維尼

The master wasn’t even sure what was going on, yet from their conversation, he could sense an endless stream of malice and danger ahead of him. Too bad he was a good-for-nothing. A piece of meat on the chopping board. He was at the mercy of the high and mighty. During the next few days, under the protection of soldiers, he left the South and headed off to the North. He ate well and dressed well on his way, and he remained chubby even the time when he was caught by the disaster victims. He looked almost like the king in the painting.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH0s9L0yRB 維尼

Completely tied up, he was beaten black and blue.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGoNxsFth0 維尼

When the master was forced onto the guillotine, he still obeyed the general’s command by neither confirming nor denying whether he was the king.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKRxWn6v6G 維尼

‘Maybe, if I muster enough courage and tell them my true identity and the things I’ve been through, they will release me immediately.’ The master did think about this, but he didn’t carry it out.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcciwTlLPk 維尼

Because he thought that he himself was a good-for-nothing!8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNgKnx2LUE 維尼

He should sacrifice his life for nobler people! He should give it all he’d gotten for a higher ideal! He should give up everything for the greater good!8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXbZyryfqs 維尼

All of a sudden, a wave of heat surged up his chest, rushed into his throat, and gushed into his mouth. The wave of heat morphed into words and he spluttered at the victims, ‘All of you are lower than me!’8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4opZOWMJJ 維尼

Slash— Down onto the ground went his head. It rolled and rolled and rolled to the feet of the crowd of victims.8964 copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5qwQ1Qjva 維尼

From this angle, they were like giants. Ironically, the master had become mud on the ground, and had become the lowest of all good-for-nothings.221Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAIEEo7qFV
