For those of you who have been waiting patiently for the sequel, it's been updated with the second chapter. I'm excited to be on this adventure with you all again and I hope you enjoy it. I'll try not to do things that will frustrate you too much but as we all know, the show must go on.

Here for you is a preview of the first chapter of Emancipation:

"Yuusei, do you ever want to return to the castle?"

I hummed, "I think about it all the time but I wouldn't want to. Not willingly anyway. If something ever brought me back to that castle, there would never be any kind of chance for me to escape again."

We relaxed in the silence but it wasn't long lived. There was a knock on the door and I looked at Sho. The knock came again but louder and I stood. Sho stood too and I pushed him behind me. It was silent only for a second and then there was a loud bang and the door came down. Men in masks began to storm the cottage. One by one, they entered the cottage and I tried to push Sho out of the way but I was grabbed. They bound my arms behind my back and I kicked out as I was dragged from the house.

My hands were bound with a rope and I was thrown onto a horse. The man who grabbed me mounted the steed and rode off.

The ride was unconfortable on my stomach and I tried to shout but I was ignored. The man took another mask out of a satchel put it over my head. It was hard to breathe but after a while the horse slowed down and stopped. I felt the man get off the horse and he pulled me off too. My feet barely had a chance to touch the ground before I was lifted from the ground again and he threw me over his shoulder.

"Let me go! Let go!" I began to kick and struggle again and I was rewarded with a sharp smack to my ass.

I was shocked and disgusted so I decided to not let it happen again. I felt that we had ascended some stairs and then we were walking straight again. Right, left, straight, left straight, it had seemed so oddly familiar in my head but I couldn't place what it was.

"Please, where are you taking me?"

I was met with more silence and the rope was beginning to bite into my wrists. I heard the faint sound of a door opening and suddenly I was thrown onto something soft. I was shocked when the mask was pulled from my head and the man was leaning over me.

"You know Yuusei," my breath caught in my throat when that voice reached my ears, "don't you think I've allowed you enough freedom?"

He pulled his mask off slowly and I was accosted with stunning violet irises and vibrant blonde hair.

"My king..."
