Chapter 2: The humiliation
Banou is told to follow the master up after her meal. With outside the wind hallowing, it's best if they stay in the inn to be shelter away from it. However she find it strange that she is the only girl that is told to follow the master. Straying away from the other ladies, she start to feel unsettle. When they arrived in a room, the master push open the door. He asked her to go inside and stay there. The guard who is following behind unlock the chains around her leg. This even makes her more afraid.
"Master, please what am i supposed to.."
"Nothing. Just stay here. Other girls will have their own rooms too. Didn't i treat all the ladies good enough for this trip? Go go inside. I told the inn keeper to get a good soft bed to sleep for tonight. Tomorrow will be a long journey and no resting is allow."
Banou enter the room. They close the door. Inside the room is not the best but there is a bed to sleep on. Tables and chairs are around. The candle ion the table is shining bright. Worry she sit on the chair where the candle is at. She breath deeply and worry about what is to come. As time goes by nothing happen. Banou starts to think that she is worrying for nothing. Also she is getting tired. She remove her veil and wedding dress. She place it neatly on the chair next to the bed. Next she took off her wedding shoes and leave it on the floor. With only her White top and white pants, she lay on the bed and start to fall asleep.
She wakes up in the dark room. The candle is off. However there is something strange, she feel weak and not able to move much. She don't remember there is a blanket one the bed. Yet she feels like she have been wrap up in heat. A hand press on her mouth to prevent her from screaming. The person is licking her breast and his knees are rubbing her wet pussy. Tears begin to fall and this person whisper into her ears. She cannot understand but she knows that she is going to be rape by this stranger. Within minutes, he enter her. Banou's heart beat wildly. She ask for God's help. Finally he pierce in, she couldn't scream nor do anything. It is her first time. In her culture she have to save it for her husband. Now this man fucking her had taken it. She cry and ask why didn't God help her. The stranger released his hand and pound her without knowing anything. Her tears flow and he stop for awhile as if he knows she is crying. He lean down and kiss and then he lick her eyes. While her tears are flowing down, he kiss her again. He talk in his language then he start again. For along time he release his essence inside her. That night she experienced pain in having sex so any times with a stranger.
Her nanny always talk about sleeping with a man for the first time what will happen. She and her sisters are eager to find the man they can fall in love and marry. Now she hates it. She doesn't wish to do anymore.

He too turn around at the same time to look at her. She is indeed beautiful. He walk near to her without his clothes. He touch her luscious hair then her grab her chin.

You shall be my sex slave. I won't treat you bad, believe me." He open the door. Banou quickly put on her top and pants.

The master call her over and grab her hand. She scream and beg for her life. The master did not explain but press her hand down a ink pad and press it down on the paper. He release her hand immediately.
"Gold. Where is the 7 gold bars?"
The gentle scholar nod to his servant and he brings out the gold bars. Greedy and salivating with the gold bars infront of him. He did not realise that Banou is slipping away. She quietly walk out the room while the men are staring at the the gold bar and papers. However after a short while she is caught in the kitchen and drag outside of the inn by her hair.
The scholar asked the master to tell her that she have been sold and she should follow him. One of the woman been chain up hear this and run to them. The guard who is holding the chain whip her. "Please princess! Bring me along!"
"Shut up!" She got whip continuously. The other women got frighten and all squad down. This anger the master and she receive a kick from him. Banou try to shake off the man who is holding her. "Please please master! Dont hurt her!"
It is a show outside the inn to be watch by the people inside. The gentle scholar ask them to stop. "Who is she?" He point to the girl getting beatings.
"She a nobody. Nothing to see. Just get on your road my lord."
The scholar see that his new toy seems to want that girl to follow her.

"She ... How much will you pay for her? 5 gold bars?" He smile and show his rotten teeth. The gentle scholar shows 2 finger.
"4 gold bars." and the scholar show 1 finger. "Fine fine 2 gold bars"
"No 1 gold bar. You are getting off this girl from your caravan. You will be saving a lot of food and water plus no one crying in the group. She might try to run or kill someone or..."
"Fine! 1 gold bar!"
"Contract please."
In the end, this girl, Aylin follow Banou into the Chinese caravan. She bow down to Banou. "Thank you for saving me, princess."

"Whatever it is. I am going to follow you. I am Aylin. I am one of those servant girls in the wedding. I saw the beauty ..."
"Don't mention the wedding please."
