Alyxander nodded. "I'm lucky I ended up getting to start over like this." He replied. "And before my past mistress... I don't think I was a servant or slave to anyone else. My parents were in debt to her and when I was still young the house had caught on fire. Both my parents ended up dead, as since I was still a child and couldn't pay off the debt owed to her at that age she took me in as a slave. Just recently she'd decided I managed to pay off the debt owed and finally got annoyed with my presence for some reason, and ended up beating me one night before abandoning me at the wharf. That was where Kate had found me, though I'd gone two days stuck chained up in there without anything to eat."
