Chapter 105
Louisa's POV
I turned my head away from Lucas to look at the dancer's performance.
Having learned about the tragic origin behind the dance, I could easily tell the desperation and pain hidden behind the dancers' sophisticated moves.
I had thought this kind of temptatious dance was performed for men’s pleasure by women, but I had never expected that it could be this expressive. The movement of those women's almost naked torsos was heavy because they were carrying invisible heavy barrels of gun powders. The thin long chains, decorated with all colors of sparkling gems, represented the shackles that they used to wear. They danced in a row because they used to be chained in a row. Stepped in one another's footsteps, they walked on the path of death.
