The Slaver Bride
Closed for bjhass.
“I’m not interested,” the young woman spoke firmly towards her father, crossing her arms over her chest while leering in his direction.
“I’m not asking, Lex.”
A frown tugged at the corners of her full lips. The ferocity in her dazzling green eyes softened and she regarded the man with sorrow.
“That’s not going to work,” he continued. The man approached his daughter, favoring her with a graceful smile before placing his hands on her shoulders. “You are my eldest, and you will do as I say. It is in your best interest.”
“No – it’s in your best interest. Or our bloodline’s. Not mine. And I won’t.” Alexis had always been headstrong. She fancied herself an adventurer, and with the financial backing of her slaver father, she intended to see the world and take whatever treasures she may find along the way. “I’m not a Lady, and I never will be, so get over it.”
“This opportunity –“
“Give it to one of my sisters. Brianna would kill to marry a Lord and play house.”
“I’m not certain Lord Renstarr would be keen to that prospect. He requested your hand specifically.”
Lex gave a derisive groan.
“I don’t think you appreciate what this means for you. For our bloodline…you’re right on that point. I will forever be a merchant of flesh, rich but insignificant. But I can buy you a place in the aristocracy, afford your children and their children a life of luxury and ensure the continuation of our family. You don’t understand the lifestyle, dearest, you wouldn’t fight me on this if you did. It is truly marvelous.”
His daughter pretended to consider his words for several moments. Then she shook her head. “I’m still not interested. Perhaps you should counter offer Lord Renstarr more gold or jewels - or whatever the fuck he wants - and Brianna. Or Valerie or…hell, have him come out and line the bitches up like you do other people’s children at the market.”
Her father’s face reddened with rage. Slave trading was a perfectly acceptable practice – it did not prey on a specific race or gender, rather operating on a system which ‘favored’ the poor. If parents were destitute and unable to feed their families, they were entitled to sell their children (or themselves, in rare cases) in order to ensure survival in hard times. Flesh fetched a good price; enough for a peasant family of three to feed and clothe themselves for roughly two years, assuming they had no other income to supplement the easily gotten bounty. Of course, the slavers made much much more: direct turnarounds yielded a thousand or more times profit, the ridiculous wealth gap between the classes making for a fantastic margin.
Lex’s family had been in the business long enough that their property hosted quite a community of generational slaves. Her father did not go so far as to breed specific pairs (so far as the girl knew, and if he was she didn’t want to know), but slaves did on occasion find themselves in each other’s intimate company. Their child didn’t belong to them by default.
“How dare you!” He released his grip on her shoulders, concerned that he would otherwise take to a rough vice he would later regret. “If it is so wrong, how is it that you have such an easy time spending my blood money?”
“Disassociation?” Lex shrugged. “The mind is capable –“
The man brought a hand to his forehead. “Get out.”
Lex stood still for a moment, then glanced towards the three slaves standing around waiting to do her father’s bidding. “…Me? Or them?”
“You.”
“Oh good. I was worried for a moment.” Without another word or thought, Lex spun on her heel and left her father’s study.
As she walked down the main hall, she reflected on the few conversations she had had with her father when the slaves had been entirely removed from their stations of service in the name of privacy. It generally was a bad time, with some serious ‘I’m so mad I could kill you’ rage. Best avoided.
Just like the slaves. Lex spent the better part of her youth dismissively waving them away, refusing their service and trying to pretend they didn’t exist. She had had a friend among them, once, when she was a child. A tragic story, and one in which Lex realized she couldn’t change the world. It was easier, then, to feign blindness than to care.
She took running away at the age of twelve, disappearing for a year or so at a time. She’d return, stay and pretend she would await her father’s blessing to leave again before abruptly repeating her former stunt. At present, the girl was eighteen and had taken off five times. Her father had sent search parties after her the first time and then had settled with the knowledge that she didn’t want to be found. Hopefully it’d be much the same now, as no doubt it was obvious to both of them that she wasn’t going to stay and wait to be married to some snobbish noble she hardly knew.
...But she wasn’t in a dire rush. She’d wait for night, at least. And in the meantime? She was going to be certain to ruin herself as a proper bride. And she was going to do it with him.
