Isabella and Hulsa end up kneeling before Greta and Lady Seren. They have no chance to escape, Greta quickly finds him.
"The slaves don't know themselves! how dare you set foot in my house!" exclaim Mrs Seren. The woman was a little away, she was not close to a slave.
"I'm sorry for us." With a trembling mouth, and fingers bruised from each other in fear, Hulsa apologised for her indecency.
Isabella sat down, and she was equally afraid. "I'm sorry Madam."
Greta bowed and said, "I will punish them madam."
"Yes they must be punished! if you can cut off his legs for having dared to cross the line!" exclaim Mrs Seren. For nobles, a slave is meaningless, certainly only nobles have a rotten heart.
Hulsa and Isabella who heard him immediately shouted hysterically, they did not want to lose their legs just because they had slipped into the kitchen.
"Please Madam, don't punish us. You haven't had time to take anything. Forgive us, madam, we promise we won't do it again." Hulsa continues to beg for forgiveness from Madame Seren.
Greta immediately acts to keep Hulsa away from the Madam. "Don't you dare come any closer."
Isabella said, "I'm sorry, ma'am." she couldn't bear to see Hulsa being punished just for wanting to help her. "It's my fault, I asked Hulsa to accompany me to sneak into the kitchen." she admitted.
"What's this about? why is it so noisy at night." Markus came distracted by a noise from the kitchen. The man directly lowered his head for a moment when he saw Madam Seren.
"Mark, the law of these slaves. They have been presumptuous to enter this house." exclaimed Lady Seren to Markus.
Isabella, who knew Mark, came closer, walking on both knees. "Master, please forgive us. Don't punish us." he said.
Markus went to see Lady Seren. "Madam, let me take care of this. The madam can rest again."
"I'm waiting for news. Don't let you free these two slaves from punishment!" Madam Seren left, she did not want to linger in dealing with a slave. There's Markus who'll take care of it.
"Mr Mark, the great madam has given them severe punishment." Greta does not want to say if Madame Seren punishes her by cutting off Hulsa and Isabella's legs.
"Yes, I know. Go, let this be my business." - Markus.
"Good sir." Greta said she left too.
"You are looking for Mr. Ale, and you are wandering here" Markus said in a soft voice so that Hulsa would not hear him.
"I'm hungry, Miss Aluna punished me for not getting food rations for two days."
Markus sighed, he moved to collect food in one container. "Save it, and go back to your room."
"Thank you, Markus." Isabella was grateful, Mark helped her even give a lot of food for her to keep.
"Isabel, why is Mr Mark good to you? do you know him closely?" Hulsa was suspicious. It is not usual that Mark's master was kind to a slave. Although the man was not cruel, but caring about slaves was enough to make his heart ask.
"I don't know and don't know him. Maybe he does have a good heart." replied Isabella.
Hulsa sighed, "But tomorrow we'll be in the law."
"I'm sorry Hulsa, it's all because of me." Isabella lamented her carelessness.
"Here you go, it's all over. Just pray that tomorrow our legs won't be cut off for real."
They both went back to their room. Not long ago Isabella sat herself in bed, her bedroom door was knocked back.
"Huft.. Could it be one night, I didn't go to that room?" muttered.
Sure enough, Emma was seen behind her bedroom door. Mr. Alejandro has definitely wanted it tonight.
Isabella nodded. "Yes." Yeah."
"Good."
***
The next morning, Isabella is shocked by Hulsa who has been dragged by a number of people.
"Hulsa!" scream Isabella. He ran towards Hulsa. "Stop! release her!"
"Hey! who're you! don't bother us." apparently Hulsa got her punishment today.
"Isabel help me." Hulsa whimpered in pain. Both of his hands are tied behind his back. The woman had been subjected to a little torture. "Isabel, I don't want to lose my leg."
"Please let her go. I'm guilty, don't punish him!" yells. Isabella is replacing Hulsa.
The two burly men did not heed Isabella's words, they still brought Hulsa to justice. The punishment that had been in effect for a long time ago, for a slave who dared to set foot in the main house.
"Let them miss Isabella.." Mark warns Isabella not to attempt to free Hulsa and replace him.
"But why just Hulsa? I'm guilty too."
"You are the exception" replied Markus. Where could he possibly give punishment to his master's woman. Markus would think twice about punishing Isabella. He did not want to hurt the delicate skin that would be touched every night by Mr. Alejandro.
"Please Hulsa. She's my friend." Isabella begs.
"I can't." Markus is leaving.
Isabella's hope is dashed, "Hulsa forgive me."
But that hope resurfaced when he saw Alejandro. The woman rushed to him.
"Master. sir, please release Hulsa. He's my friend." Isabella pleaded on her knees.
"They will punish Hulsa. Please release him." Isabella shed tears. He would feel guilty if something bad happened to Hulsa. Isabella hoped Alejandro would grant her request, remembering he repeatedly climbed on Mr. Alejandro's bed.
Alejandro looked at Isabella, "If you are guilty, you have to be punished" he said. Alejandro did not care about the slaves who were receiving punishment. Accepting punishment is obvious for making a mistake.
"But he's my friend." said Isabella.
"Lantas, should I care?"
Isabella ventured to look at Alejandro who stood haughtily before her. "This one time, please release my friend, I don't want her to lose her leg." tears welled up her cheeks.
"CK!" Alejandro clucked in annoyance. He has no interest in taking care of something like this. "Look!" the man crouched down, then flanked Isabella's chin with his fingers. "He's just a slave, I don't care if your friend loses a leg or a life!"
Hearing that from Alejandro's mouth, Isabella stared intently at her master. "You are the devil! there is no heart! I've hated you my whole life!"
Alejandro laughed, "You hate me? but you were miserable when you were under me." he grinned.
"Sweety!" Isabella spat, as if she was spitting on Alejandro's face. "Basic demon!"
Alejandro puffed, his jaws tightened. Again Isabella humiliated him. "You dare to me?Hem?"
"You call me a demon? well, I'll show you the real devil!"
