Be Not the Slave of Your Own Past
“Would you choose to come with me? I would offer you a life without wanting."
“What...what does that mean, my lord? I am a slave. My life is yours to do with what you wish, is it not? What choice do I have to come or go…”
“Yes, you were given to me, but you need not be my slave, should you find it ill-suited to you, should you refuse my offer. As for what it means? Well—it means you would never find yourself with a need for anything...you need only agree. You need only belong to me. Let me have the night with you, let me show you what it would mean to be mine, and if by the morning you would accept this life..."
“And—And i-if I do not?”
“Then you have my word that your freedom will be granted to you again, and you will leave this palace under your own power.”
Jungkook, a warrior king, is offered his pick of servants from the land he has conquered to end a ceaseless war. Jimin, a slave, is offered a rare opportunity—one night with the king to decide whether he will accept his new life in bondage.
