REASON

As Alexander Harrington stood before his uncle Robert and cousin Edward, a twisted smile played upon his lips. With a casual grace, he toyed with the confines of their shiny chastity cages, nudging them with the toe of his boot as if they were nothing more than mere trinkets.

"Why, Uncle," he began, his voice dripping with mock curiosity, "pray tell me, what brings you to this rather... precarious position?"

Edward, his gaze fixed upon the ground, spoke up with a tremor in his voice. "We... we dared to cross the Keyholder's son," he admitted, his words barely audible above the faint click of the metal cage being prodded by Alex's boot. "He gave us a choice: life under the whip or... or ****."

The revelation hung heavy in the air, a stark reminder of the consequences of defying authority at Thornwood Estate. With a simple flick of the Keyholder's wrist, their fates had been sealed, condemning them to a life of servitude at the mercy of their former victim.

As Edward's words trailed off, a chilling silence descended upon the room, broken only by the metallic click of Alex's boot against the chastity cage. With a final, contemptuous gesture, he withdrew his hand, the sound reverberating through the air like a **** knell.

And in that moment, as the weight of their chains bore down upon them, Robert and Edward knew that they were at the mercy of their master's whims – their lives now irrevocably bound to the cruel machinations of Thornwood Estate.
