Primrose clenched her hands tightly on her lap. "Isn't there anything I can do? Anything at all to break a slave seal and set someone free?"
"It's incredibly hard to break … maybe even impossible." He paused for a moment before adding, "She looks like she's around eighteen, right?"

"Slave seals don't just bind a person to their master. They also stop the body from aging," Salem explained. "That's why most people are sealed when they're around sixteen to eighteen."
"Most of them … are girls?" Primrose asked hesitantly.
Salem gave a small nod. "Mostly young girls. And sometimes, young boys too … if they're considered 'beautiful.'"
