PROPERTY

As the afternoon tea progressed, the Keyholder leaned back in his chair, regarding Alexander with a contemplative expression. "There is another matter we need to discuss, Alexander," he began, his tone serious. "As you know, within our society, the property of slaves belongs to their owners. This includes any personal assets they may possess."

Alexander nodded, intrigued by the direction the conversation was taking.

The Keyholder continued, "Your uncle Robert and cousin Edward, whom you recently acquired, have considerable assets. By the laws of our society, those assets are now legally yours."

A spark of interest ignited in Alexander's eyes. The news was unexpected, yet immensely beneficial. He listened intently as the Keyholder outlined the specifics.

"Robert and Edward held significant investments and properties before they fell out of favor and into your ownership," the Keyholder explained. "These assets, including estates, financial holdings, and personal valuables, are to be transferred to you immediately. This transfer not only solidifies your position but also enhances your influence within our community."

Alexander's mind raced with the possibilities. The additional wealth and resources would undoubtedly bolster his status and enable him to expand his reach even further. He could sense the weight of power shifting more firmly into his grasp.

"I am grateful for this information and the trust you place in me," Alexander said, his voice steady but laced with excitement. "I will ensure these assets are put to good use, furthering our collective goals."

The Keyholder nodded approvingly. "I have no doubt you will, Alexander. Your recent actions have already demonstrated your capability and ambition. This is merely the next step in your ascension."

After concluding their tea with further discussions about future plans and expectations, Alexander left the Keyholder's mansion with a renewed sense of purpose and a keen understanding of the expanding horizon before him.

Upon returning to Thornwood Estate, Alexander immediately called a meeting with his closest slaves, including Benjamin, Samuel, and the newly relegated toilet ****, Edward. He relished the opportunity to inform Edward of his fate.

"Benjamin, ensure all the necessary legal documents are prepared for the transfer of assets from my uncle Robert and cousin Edward to me," Alexander instructed. "Samuel, you will assist in cataloging their properties and holdings."

Benjamin and Samuel nodded, their eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and admiration for their master's growing power.

Turning his attention to Edward, Alexander's expression hardened. "Edward," he began, a cruel smile playing on his lips, "you should know that your previous life's assets now belong to me. Every penny, every piece of property, is mine. Your former status means nothing here."

Edward, kneeling before Alexander, his body still marked by the signs of his degradation, looked up with a mix of despair and resignation. "Yes, Master," he whispered, his voice barely audible.

"And as for your new role," Alexander continued, "you will fulfill your duties as a toilet **** with the knowledge that everything you once owned now serves to strengthen my position. Consider it a fitting end to your family's legacy."
