"Hang him up!"
"Yes, that disobedient one, hang him up for me! Whip him hard!"
The chillingly sinister voice echoed in the dim space, followed by the piercing sound splitting the air.
Whack!
"Ah!!!"
In the cage filled with a stench of decay, Teresa was awakened by the shrill cries and slowly opened her eyes.
"Where is... this place?"
The already petite girl looked even more frail due to prolonged hunger; her body was so thin it seemed a gust of wind could topple her, and her abdomen was sunken under tattered hemp clothes.
In her confusion, she slightly moved her head, her rare shoulder-length dark green hair lightly swayed.
The bangs on her forehead moved, revealing a pale face hidden beneath disheveled hair.
Honestly speaking, though her face had some dirt, upon closer inspection, the girl's appearance wasn't unattractive; despite her youth, her features were quite delicate.
If she could eat well and live a few more years, she would naturally grow into a beautiful woman.
