It was a clear day when they started to ride toward the Leopard border they finally made it there around midnight. There is only one inn in the whole town called Toxins it is run by a woman who has passed away now. The Leopard is filled with thieves, rapist, and murderers there seem to be a groom that lingers in the air. The town is old and buildings are falling apart but the clan leader doesn't care too much about the people. He is more concerned with foolish things and not his people they suffered disheartening and cruel injustice. Ondo never met the king of the Leopard before but he knows he has a tattoo on his Arm.
it was obvious that Zara and Ondo weren't welcome in the Leopard town they glared at them with an evil look. The men were waiting with anxiousness to kill them they couldn't hide their murder intentions. But they couldn't attack because of Zeke no matter what he did he was still a prince they reported. Back to the king who originally sold Zeze into slavery after Zeze Started a rebellion as a punishment, he made him a Slave but the king always plan to retrieve him. However, a dangerous sickness came through the camp. They killed three thousand of the Leopard's clan strongest Warriors. to rebuild they had to develop other strong Warriors and reproduce. it wasn't a lot of young virgins in the clan so the kingdom devise a cunning plan. he passed the law that marriage was no longer required to be mated. With this law passed men became Reckless and started to rape young women including married women. They will force to reproduce and if those did not fall in line they will be killed the room was kept in the oh Dusty building. there wasn't allowed to leave some of them were chained to the bed. the men went in and out of the old dusty building as they continue to do what they wanted to them. Of course, Ondo and Zara didn't know this information eventually the King was informed of his son becoming an actual slave. the King was Furious and plan to buy his son back meanwhileZara decided to play a cruel trick on Ava and Zeze Zara left some gold gilds laying on the bed when Ava took the bait and took them. Zara blame them it was to be a thief they came up with a unique punishment for them.
In the center of the town hall, which is the busiest Ondo strip them naked. He ruthlessly beat Zeze with a whip. the crowd stops and watched. Some stared in horror while others stares in excitement because they knew is Zeze a prince. Those that have been oppressed found the most pleasure in Zeze getting beaten. The crowd was divided some in the crowd yelled beat him while others yell stop beating him. But one mystery woman was extremely impressed by how bold Ondo was and she divides plans for her Revenge. Zara felt someone staring at her when she turned to look she saw a woman with a Scarlet Road covering her face and body. soon the guards came rushing it along with the King he saw undo beaten Zeze. Kind Haye saw his son's body horrifying injure he wanted to kill Ondo and Zara but because of the slave law, he couldn't take action. The slave law prevents an outsider from getting involved with the punishment of slaves. He was extremely angry but he held his composure to persuade ondo to sell him Zeze.
Ondo recognize the tribal tattoo that was on Haye's left arm. Ondo that the king was standing in the crowd but that didn't stop him he beat him even harder Zeze. his back was open with large cuts blood gushed out of his back blood spray put on ondo clothes. Hayes saw his son laying in pain eyes were lifeless he thought Zeze even ondo though he killed Zeze. everyone was in silents Ondo put some hot water on his wounds Zeze rippled through the air. It was its last scream
Hayes felt remorse and anger he planned to have ondo's head. The King couldn't take it any more coming out of the crowded he confront Ondo and Zara.
He yelled angrily ''What is the meaning of this?
''I dont think I need to justice my action to you'' He taunted
'' Dont u know i can have you whip
This made Hayes even more upset he wanted to cut Ondo's head off right there. But because of the law, he couldn't do anything against him. Once a law is passed if anyone is violent the clans will be punished by the council of war.
