Two men and woman are chosen, luckily you are not one of those to be chosen. With a relieved sigh you let them go.
Two days later the guards come and take you all to the auction. In lots of dozen persons you are taken to the scaffold and have to endure the merchants examinations. Then for five minutes the bets go madly, and as suddenly as it became it is all over. Your fate is sealed, as like fish in the market.
Luckily the prince and you are sold to a large manor house, to work as farmhands. Prince Allan would have to take care of the pigs; for you the lot is to toil the fields. But you know someday, somehow you will have a change to escape and wait hidden till the new usurper king makes a mistake.
But that would be someday, somehow. As for the adventure this is...
