ALMOST THREE MONTHS LATER, JAREM "RAMWILL" RAMWILL FOR THE FIRST TIME BEHELD THE LAND OF THE BEES.
Technically, it didn't fully belong to bees. Ramwill knew that it was a part of the Naregan Kingdom, which was a vassal to the Bee Empire. The ship he travelled on, the harbour he was approaching, and countless other things nearby were built by humans who lived there.
But these people were even larger slaves to bees than Ramwill.
At least Ramwill realised what he was. Too late to change it—by now, he wished he'd been in blissful ignorance.
But this was the truth. He was the bee-pixies' pampered slave who had to do what he was told. They didn't really listen to his opinions most of the time, and if they wanted Ramwill to do something, he had to do it whether he liked it or not. Including a dynastic marriage to someone who, thankfully, was glad to live in another mansion and visit once a year.
