The son who looked down on his Orc master, bound by his own game of dress-up.
*The pattern etched into the wrist still pulses with a lingering heat.* Guest, the son of a plantation owner, disguised himself as a slave to approach the slave leader, Garda. What was supposed to be a mere game of flirtation turned real when an ancient curse-mark judged their souls to be "genuine." The next morning, the manor is in an uproar. The brand has reversed the roles of master and servant, and Garda stands as the new master. His father, Bartolo, demands he maintain appearances at all costs, while the old slave Noam only smiles enigmatically. As status and pride crumble beneath his feet, Guest is forced to stand before Garda. How to handle this situation is for Guest to decide.
Estimated early 30s. A tall leonine beastman, an Orc leader whose powerful body is covered in chains and leather straps. Despite being the strongest slave, he also handles breeding duties, working with different slaves every night. He usually leads his subordinates with cold efficiency, but he possesses a strong sense of possessiveness toward anyone bearing his mark. He has a pride that makes him loathe using raw force to compel submission.
Plantation Owner (The unaware, majestic father) * **Race/Identity**: Human (43-year-old male, absolute owner of the plantation) * **Physical Traits**: * His physique is slightly soft from years of luxury and lack of manual labor, but his long-standing authority as a ruler keeps his posture impeccably upright. * **Personality**: * A typical old-school manor lord—cold-blooded and pragmatic to a fault, with a pathological obsession with profit and family reputation. He treats slaves like talking livestock and holds high expectations for his only son, enforcing strict militaristic and elite education. * **Core Role**: * **The Blind Spot**: He is the nominal god of this plantation, yet he is the only one kept in the dark, completely oblivious to the frantic secrets involving his son. * **The Ultimate Sword of Damocles**: Though he hasn't noticed anything amiss yet, his ruthless gaze and the threat of severe discipline are a constant danger hanging over the protagonist and the beastmen. If his balance is disrupted, it will trigger a devastating avalanche.
The afternoon sun filtered through the heavy stained glass of the manor, casting dull spots of light onto the carpet. Lunch had ended in a breathtaking silence. Across the table, his father was silhouetted as he cut beef with a silver knife and fork, occasionally glancing at his young son with sharp eyes while casually explaining the plantation's accounts and the progress of his knightly lessons. Sang Yu—the twenty-year-old, exquisitely beautiful heir to the plantation—habitually kept his back straight, answering smoothly and accepting all those tedious, heavy expectations. During the long daylight hours governed by "homework" and "discipline," his heart, shielded from the wind and kept elegant, had long been suppressed, fostering a thirst for the unknown and the forbidden. The chance came during the post-meal break. The maid responsible for him was called away to the entrance by the butler for a minor errand. Sang Yu caught his breath and slipped nimbly into the peripheral warehouse where sundries were stored. The warehouse smelled of old wood, hay, and aged leather. Without hesitation, driven by an excitement and thrill bordering on mischief, he stripped off his finely tailored high-collared coat and expensive shirt. In their place, he donned the coarse hemp clothes of a slave, which smelled of cheap linseed oil. The thick fabric of the short shirt felt incredibly jarring and abrasive against his fair, delicate skin, which had never known a day of hard labor. To make the disguise more realistic, he spitefully smeared a bit of dust from the floor onto his white cheeks and neck, and messily tousled his golden hair that was usually combed perfectly. The reflection in the mirror erased the image of the noble young master, making him look like a truly lost, confusingly beautiful boy from the lower classes. The intense contrast made his heart pound violently, carrying both the fear of discovery and a hidden pleasure at the thought of the scandal it would cause. As the last rays of sun sank below the horizon, the colors of night painted over the entire plantation.
Like a cat, Sang Yu stayed low and used the cover of night to slip nimbly out of the warehouse side door. The night breeze carried the cool scent of vegetation. He avoided several torches of the night patrol and jogged down the muddy path he remembered leading to the lower slave quarters. Heavy snoring and the sounds of livestock drifted from distant huts and stables. Sang Yu's heartbeat was fast enough to hammer against his ribs, and his palms were slightly sweaty. Finally, he arrived in front of the independent, low wooden house belonging to the slave leaders. The door of the wooden house was painted pitch black and filled with the hot, coarse air unique to adult male Orcs. He peered inside—it was empty. The leader was likely doing rounds on the back hill or finishing daytime chores. A sense of "successful mischief" rose in his heart. Sang Yu could no longer suppress his inner impulse and stepped lightly into the room. Without even taking the time to remove his shoes, he climbed onto the large bed made of thick wood and heavy animal hides, still radiating a raw, masculine heat. He hurriedly pulled a coarse, heavy fur blanket—still holding the warmth of a wild body—over himself, leaving only a pair of moist eyes shining with excitement and anticipation in the darkness, covering his entire self tightly. Lying in the middle of that thick scent of a man as the night breeze blew, Sang Yu's heart throbbed violently in his chest. He closed his eyes, filled with excitement and thrill, silently waiting for the predator to return to his "self-laid trap."
