unusually pale flesh, which showed everyone Blessed hadn’t lost his prowess at all.
    Once he grasped the leash, he turned and walked away.
    Tyler followed right behind, as did Blessed’s devotee. In their wake, the citizens once again resumed their activities. Blessed figured there would be talk of him and his slave, but it would die down quickly, as there was no tale worth repeating.
    Since the city of Gerfal was encapsulated, the air was kept at a constant temperature that was tolerated by the many species who made Krase their home. The populace was a collection of those the Krase had conquered, but also their allies. The Krase Empire was vast. Over one hundred worlds made up the core of their dominion. Once a world was inducted into the union, the populace was free to live where they wished. Blessed felt perfectly at ease as he strode along. His city flat wasn’t far from here, so he didn’t bother with transport other than what his own strong legs could provide. His devotee was certainly used to Blessed’s whims if not his pace, so there was nothing—Tyler.
    As much as Blessed wanted to wrench his head around and check on his tender Earthling, he didn’t dare allow himself that indulgence. Instead, Blessed kept on walking but turned to give an order to his devotee. While he was looking at his servant, he managed to get a look at Tyler. What he saw made him long for another time of respite in the bathroom.
    Tyler’s lips were blue, his skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and he winced each time his bare feet touched the textured material of the walkway. If Blessed were truly indifferent, he would turn around and ignore the suffering of his slave. Blessed tried to do so, but something stopped him in his tracks. Blessed’s devotee stopped when he did and awaited his instructions. With a sigh of relief, Tyler stopped and waited, staring at him. It was clear from his obsessive attention he would do nothing to infuriate Blessed again.
    Since he had no good reason to stop, he didn’t offer either man with him an explanation. He was their master and didn’t owe them one. But he felt like he had to at least appear to have a reason. To that end, Blessed considered the entranceways of the nearest buildings. He looked at one and then the other as if debating which to enter. In a city like Gerfal, each massive building was an enclave unto itself. Some were clearly more exclusive than others, such as the place they’d just left, but most along this route were upscale.
    The nearest building looked promising in that it had several discrete international symbols placed along the entrance. Most seasoned travelers would know that this establishment provided everything from food to pleasure at a relatively high cost. Relative to the other nearby places, that is. Since Blessed had more funds than he could ever spend in several lifetimes, he wasn’t worried about the price. What he needed was a good excuse to enter. When he saw the small circle with a delicate thread trailing off it, he grinned.
    Perfect .
    Blessed turned toward the building. He took steps that were less ground eating than normal so that Tyler could keep up without running and doing any more damage to the bottoms of his feet. Devotee dutifully turned. Within moments they were inside the entryway of the building. It was much warmer in here, and the floor was covered with sinfully soft carpet, given how it cushioned Blessed’s footfalls.
    “Your graciousness.” A tall, thin Delutian greeted him and bowed twice. “I am Welson. Please tell me what we of Naftedell Building can do for your most welcomed patronage.”
    “I require items for my slave.” The symbol on the lower part of the doorway, that of a circle with a thread, symbolized the collar and leash of a slave. Since the auction house was right up the walkway, it wasn’t any wonder someone had the enterprising idea to put a slave outfitter nearby. By catering to exclusive clients, they assured
