Carolyn It's very good that Maria was able to get the information they needed. Well it maybe a bit before Kivar pays for his crimes. Yes I am feeling a lot better! Thanks!

Part 28
Michael led his squad of soldiers into Kivar's house.
"All employees are to be taken into custody for questioning. If you find Kivar he is to be arrested and I need to be notified right away. Any slaves are to be escorted to a transport to be taken for medical care." Said Michael
The soldiers nodded and started to search the very big house room by room. Michael headed upstairs to a locked door. He placed his hand over the lock and heard a click. He opened the door to find ten girls chained to the walls wearing smocks that bearly covered them.
"Shit." Mumbled Michael
He made his way to the nearest kept down in front of her. But didn't touch her.
"My name is Michael. I am going to get you some help. Can you tell me your name?"
The girl looked at him. She could see kindness in his eyes.
"Christina."
"Nice to meet you."
"What is going to happen to us?"
"I don't know. But you won't be hurt anymore."
"Why should I believe you?"
"Was there anyone you did trust?"
"There was a maid here until a couple days ago. Maria. She was kind to us."
"Maria, is my girlfriend. She was here working for the King. The King knew that Kivar was up to no good so Maria said she would get the proof. She hated leaving you girls here."
"How long until we get out of here?"
"Soon I promise."
Michael got up and went to get some help to get the girls out. It took over an hour to get the employees and the girls out. Michael left four soldiers to guard the house. Sent most with the prisoners and took three of his most trusted with him to the medical complex with the girls.
Michael sat in the waiting room. He was worried about the girls. He could tell that they were in really bad shape. They had to find Kivar and make him pay for how he treated these girls. He had been sitting there for an hour and half when Kara came out.
"So how bad is it?" Asked Michael
"Well, I have personally examined three of the girls. They have been abused very badly. They are in worse shape than the ones I have found in the pleasure houses."
"That bad?"
"Michael, yeah it is. Do you know what the King is going to do with these girls?"
"There status won't change most likely. But they won't be put in pleasure houses. That much I know."
"Good I will make sure that the report on each of them get's to the King."
"Thanks."
"By the way what is going on with Max's young friend?"
"She went through the complete antarian bonding."
"A full bonding? You mean in every way?"
"Yes."
"She only had to do the mental."
"Yeah well it seems at some point Liz fell in love with Max. They married in the granalith chamber a couple days ago."
"I wasn't expecting that. So I will be informed when the big "Royal Wedding" is?"
"Of course. You are my big sister after all."
"So what is going on with you and Maria?"
"She just got back from her mission."
"Michael, you love the girl. Marry her will ya! Stop being such a chicken!"
"Have I ever told you that you can be a pain in the ass?"
Kara wacked him in the back of the head.
"You know mom told you never to talk to me like that."
"Love you big sister."
"Love you too little brother."
"Get back to the palace. As soon as the repots ate done I will bring them myself."
"OK."
"Oh and just ask Maria to marry you ok?"
"Ok."
Michael hugged Kara and then headed out to give his report to the King.

but I'm happy that they are friends. Liz needs someone to trust (who is not her family) within the castle walls. And it's a great bonus that Maria is involved with Michael; that'll mean that Michael will also naturally be around whenever Maria and Liz hang.
