Looks like I was wrong about what she drank.    Another fascinating installment of Victoria's experience as she studies this culture from within.  I forgot to mention in my comments to part 1 but great job with the First-Person POV.  It's difficult to do well and you do an exceptional job with it.  I hope to see more first-person POVs from you.

While still a story involving masters, mistresses, and slaves, the relationships are very sweet.  I suspect dynamic between Victoria and 'Thun are not the typical M/s relationships on Erdan, and I can't help how Victoria's story might be different had someone else won her at auction.  To be honest, I was hoping ownership of her would be won by Lady Keleka.

Super engaging story, Leilanz.  Thank you for sharing!
