^{(Lol, I believe you, I'm pretty sure the foot wash used to be a thing)}

"Obedient?" Qillorik tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Yes, I'd say you're obedient, but more importantly, you're trustworthy, I'm confident that you won't let me die, you've already stopped, like, 3 assassins" He tells you.

"It's getting late, the sun is starting to set" Qillorik observes, looking out the window as he goes to lock them. "You should get dinner for us now, and don't forget to get extra food for your guest" Qillorik commands you

"Of course you may, it would be bad for both of us if that wound got infected, make sure to care for it properly" Qillorik tells you. "I'll make sure we find a dungeon we can handle when the time comes" Qillorik sighed, staring out at the window again. He dismisses you, which was his way of saying 'go get dinner now'

As you walk down the large hallway, you see the 6th heir to the throne, princess Qinnara. Surprisingly, she looks over at you, acknowledging your presence.

"Stop." She commands you as she steps in front of you.

You do a mental check of the 11 heirs and their attitudes towards slaves. You had sort of a mental list, with the top being 'abusive towards slaves, avoid at all costs' and the bottom being 'doesn't believe in slavery'

Qikoro (2nd heir, has killed most of his slaves, and a few of his siblings)
Qamillia (7th heir, she's known for punishing her slaves over slightest slip ups)
Qenoko (9th heir, he's young and treats everyone horribly)
Qinnara (6th heir, she just really hates anyone not of noble standings)
Quilloa (10th heir, She thinks abusing slaves is funny)
Qilliko (1st heir, he tends to be indifferent towards slaves)
Qilara (3rd heir, she doesn't acknowledge the presence of slaves, acts like they're not there)
Qessa (8th heir, thanks her slaves informally)
Qerro (5th heir, talks to his slaves like they're free people)
Qillorik (4th heir, your master. He doesn't keep many slaves)
Qalio (11th heir, loves his slaves)

She examines you up and down. "Elder brother Qillorik seems quite fond of you. Make him stop, it's disgusting seeing him treat you like a human" She sneers. "If anyone notices how he treats you, it'll be a scandal, and ruin father's plans for him" She scoffed, glaring at you. In one swift motion, she strikes you harshly with her palm, slapping you to the ground before lifting her head and walking off with a sly grin on her face.

When you arrived back in Qillorik's room, you find him nowhere in sight. You place the food tray down on a table and take a look around the room. At the side of his bed, there was a letter, ripped in half vertically, and all his windows were still locked, meaning he couldn't have left through there.

The bed seemed to be disheveled, and the piece of paper next to it seemed to have been heavily crumpled up and tossed.

"Leto? Is that you? Come on in here so I can treat your wounds" Oriah called out from your room where she had been staying.

"Hmm? footsteps? Yes, I suppose I did, though I would be much more concerned with the fact he shouted 'Is this a sick joke? He can't do this to me!' before he ripped up the letter his father sent him informing him he was arranging a marriage between him and the 2nd princess of Jaivika" Oriah said, examining her nails. "No idea where he ran off to though... I do have some advice, however- if you need important information, don't be so vague about it" Oriah tells you, a grin on her face.

"Also, don't tell Prince Oba that I read the letter, I don't think that's acceptable behavior for guests" Oriah shrugged. "The water bucket is still in his room, I believe, if you need to find him" She informs you, changing positions so that she was laying on her back, her arms crossed behind her head.
