Cassius Servius stood at the front of the crowd, the auctioneer spat out descriptions and called for prices as the crowd yelled their responses and the goods were moved from one side of the stage to the other. It had been a long day already; the sun had been bearing down on them for hours already and still no sign of what he had come for. He was here for the servi poenae the part of the auction where people who had committed crimes, or somehow angered someone in power was to be sold to slavery. He was waiting for one. A beautiful specimen, a highborn girl, a fallen muse. Her descent into slavery was fast and hard, and he would enjoy seeing her brought out in chains. He didn’t know her crime, but it was quickly decided she would be sold. Luckily, he had managed to have her moved to the slave house near his estate before she was meant to be sold in Rome’s marketplace. An old military contact had secured the transfer for him. He crossed his arms and stretched, as he raised his hand the crowd seemed to quiet. The sounds of the wind moving through the crowd were broken by the rhythmic sound of chained steps. The murmurs of excitement grew as the slaves were marched out. Some of them obviously were of highborn status, they still wore the toga’s that showcased their fine taste, but they lacked the adornments of wealth. The women lacked their jewelry, the men their sigils. All of them lacked sandals and some seemed to wince as they walked over the hot stone. Clear signs of a soft upbringing. Cassius had never been blessed with that he had made his wealth the hard way, through blood and steel. He was from a poorer family, nowhere near a simple farmer, but they did not live in the fine villa’s that the wealthy would approve of. Now, he lived in the outskirts of Rome, he had managed to purchase a decent plot of land and with a few slaves had turned the land to seed. His farm had been prosperous so far, he provided land for grain and grapes. Eventually, he would have a winery to set his fortune on, but now the gold he had saved for the start of that endeavor would be spent on something much more personal. He watched as they auctioned off each slave in order, each one was sold for a modest price since other than as tutor for the children of the house, noble born slaves offered little in actual skills. He let the bidders spend their coins, he only wanted one very specific slave today. He checked each slave over, making sure not to miss her, he finally spotted her moments before her chain was yanked to the podium, the force knocked her to her knees and a chuckle rose from the crowd. The bidding started, and Cassius threw his bids, her apparent weakness had soiled some of his competition’s appetite, even for one as beautiful as her. But that was beneficial, he was happier with the auction as he had much less removed from his funds than he had intended. Sometimes, justice was bought and paid for by men and not handed from the gods. But, surely someone was pleased with him to have brought her down from her golden perch and into the chains. He would make sure to send an offering to every temple simply to make sure he thanked the Gods that may have been responsible for this. Moving through the crowded forum, the moved to the edge of the stage to take possession of his prize. The shock of her eyes was intoxicating. If only she knew what was to come as he took possession of her title and gave the auction worker a new set of manacles to place on her. Smiling at her, even as she tried to figure out what was happening as the workers switched out their gear for his. As they finished and stepped away he gave her a second to work the feeling of the new weight, they were designed by his own blacksmith. A well-fitted collar that kept her from lowering her chin, and two manacles that currently had no chain between them but could be fitted with on to each side, along with two anklets that had a small chain between them, simply to keep her from running.
“Walk, the horses are over there.”
He pointed at the stables where he had left his horses to be cared for. He smiled as he walked behind her, her gait troubled but her body still the same wonderful sight it had been the dozens of nights she had rejected him for his lack of position. She never thought he was good enough to consider as a prospect, now, he would show her what humility would do to someone. She would reconsider her position, because now, by his hand was the only way she ascended from her position. Once they had their horses delivered, the slave he had brought with him, Aurelius, a fine specimen of roman youth helped to load the new purchase on the back of Cassius's horse. She was unchained at the ankle and made to straddle the horse before having her feet chained to the saddle. Mounting his horse, he lead them through and out of town before Aurelius mounted his steed. It was frowned on to allow a slave to ride beside his master, but Cassius had more than a little disdain for roman customs. They spurred the chestnut geldings through the country side, searching for a place to make camp, even as Apollo drove his chariot across the sky toward the waning edge of the day.
