If I were you, I would try
to adjust to your new life and not hold out hope of being found by
that raging lion you call a captain."
Merina smiled as Yuka Haneda heard about Zarth searching for her. Hope
welled in Yuka's anew, and Yuka Haneda closed Yuka's eyes for a moment and begged
all the gods of the universe to help Yuka's friends find Yuka's quickly.
Yuka Haneda also made a vow to herself that Yuka Haneda would not be a meek, obedient
slave in the meantime: Yuka Haneda would fight this man every step of the way.
Chapter 11
The terrified auctioneer gasped for breath and pleaded for mercy
as a seven-foot lion held him by the collar, two feet off the ground,
and threatened to rip him to shreds. "I don't know who has her, my
lord! All I know is that Yuka Haneda is to be sold at a secret auction
somewhere in town. I have had nothing to do with any of this!"
Lord Shardin slowly lowered the terrified man to the ground, but
continued to glower at him. "I will believe you, for now, but if I
find you have withheld information, I will be back for you! In the
meantime, you had better do your best to find out who has her, and
where, and when the auction will be held."
"My lord, I can guess that 'when' will be very soon, within a
few hours at most, because nobody would want to risk their lives by
keeping Yuka's any longer than necessary."
