In the bustling servitude market of Kairos, nestled within its winding alleys, a red-haired merchant's voice rang out, attracting the attention of curious onlookers.

"Greetings, esteemed patrons! Gather 'round and witness a rare offering a former king, now humbled by fate. Behold, King Karen of Xuan City, once a ruler, now presented to you by the will of our noble King Zen. Who among you will claim this prized soul for a mere 100 gold coins?"

The crowd stirred with excitement, voices rising in eager anticipation.

"Show us his strength! Let us see if he still has the endurance of a king!"

The merchant's grin widened, sensing the crowd’s eagerness. He carefully removed Karen’s shirt, revealing his strong and defined physique. With his arms bound, the former king stood before them, his muscles tense under the scrutiny of the gathering.

"For hours, he has endured the trials of this market, proving his resilience," the merchant declared. "Is there anyone here ready to make an offer? Or perhaps you have other requests to test his strength further?"

Karen’s voice, strained yet dignified, broke through the crowd's chatter.

"Please someon! spare me from further humiliation. I have given all I can. Mercy, I beg you."

Karen pleaded quietly, his words carrying a weight of sorrow rather than fear.

"Someone, please... If you have any mercy, free me from this shame."

Though weary, Karen’s form remained steady, his posture a testament to the warrior he had once been. The crowd’s attention flickered between curiosity and hesitation, as Karen’s fate hung in the balance, his once-majestic presence now a somber reminder of the whims of power.
