Though Erasmus's words were true to Akielon culture, Damen still found himself cringing. He made no effort to correct or argue this time, however, nodding only instead.
'The Prince has no control over me,' Damen stated, moving to stand before Erasmus and watching him carefully. The statement was not quite true, though the power Laurent had over him was not one Damen wished to share, certainly not with a boy. A boy once intended to be his slave.
'He negotiated with Torveld of Patras,' he said, once again keeping his tone quiet and calm. 'You and many other slaves were transported back with him, away from the Regent and his men. You served there and Torveld... Torveld was good to you. He treated you as you deserved.'
