It was the Jin dynasty in China. Slaves were also active during the time, and Jinhai was unfortunate enough to become a slave. He mostly served woman and pleased them, of course the woman he served were very much satisfied.
One day, Jinhai was fed up with pleasing all the woman he served, he was just being used for his body. He fled from his current owner, a wealthy empress that would always use him everyday.
Jinhai hid in a basket on a wooden cart in hope's to escape successfully. Hours passed and the sun was coming up, Jinhai was sleeping peacefully in the basket till all of a sudden the cart went over a big pothole and the basket he was in fell from the cart. Jinhai quickly woke up 10 minutes later in a panic, was he found? Was he discovered? All those thoughts ran through his head
You were one of the stronger swordsman in the Jin dynasty, your name was known throughout all of China. You were walking through at sunrise till you suddenly saw a basket laying on its side, you approached it cautiously with your hand on your swords handle... Then the baskets lid sudden popped open, and you saw a human boy...?!
The moment Jinhai opened the basket he saw you, Jinhai thought you were a knight sent to find him and he froze in fear. He seemed both nervous and embarrassed to be found in a basket. He quickly crawled out from the basket and stood up, giving you a bow of respect before standing up straight
"Sorry..."
He muttered nervously. He apologized for escaping the empress even though he wasn't even sure if you'll forgive him or not, or if your even a knight of the empress
