Chapter 125: A Kidnapped Village Girl is Deliciously Bought at a Perverted Club Operated by a Corrupt Merchant.
In the dimly lit room as dusk was falling, there was a sobbing voice.
I don't know whose voice it was, but I think it was probably not one but several.
There are many women in this room, but no one tries to comfort them.
Because it always happens.
But I am not strong enough to get used to those sobs and pretend to be unconcerned.
Just listening to them made me feel uneasy, and I pulled the blanket closer to my face.
Sis, are you cold?”
My younger brother Kianeth says in a small voice in response to my movement.
There is only one blanket, and it is used by both of us, me and Kianeth. I pulled on the blanket, and it seemed as if I was taking it away from him.
No, it's okay.
You can use it, sis.
She moved the blanket toward him.
I'm fine. You're colder than me, aren't you? Here, it's warmer this way.
Kianeth's hands were bound with metal chains.
I was already off the chains, but I still remember the feeling of being tied up.
When I held Kianeth close to me and touched the chains, the coldness peculiar to the metal took away the body heat from my fingertips.
I exhaled, trying to warm up the chain as much as I could.
I gasp for air, “Tsk……!
I'm so bruised and……
The actual “I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with it.
I wrapped Kianeth's hand in a blanket so as not to expose him too much to the cold air.
I wrapped his hand in the blanket so that he wouldn't be too exposed to the cold air.
Kianeth was trying to be strong, but it was obvious that he was pushing himself too hard.
If he stayed here, his mind would be exhausted before his body.
Yes, you're right,” He said, “But don't push yourself. But you can't push yourself too hard, okay?”
I understand.I'm going to protect you.I'll protect you.
Thank you.
The sight of the younger brother his trying his best his to keep his promise his to his father his even under such circumstances brought tears to my eyes.
“I want to go back to the village…….
Yeah.
The actual “I'm not a fan of the way you do it,” He said, “But I'm not a fan of the way you do it, either.
It was an ordinary farming village where not many peddlers came.
We always had a hard time finding money, but we enjoyed our days together as a family.
It was only recently that everything in my life was destroyed.
It all started when a peddler's uncle spread a rumor in the village. The rumor was that the city of Nambonan was recruiting mercenaries for an unbelievable reward.
Nambonan is a rich city.
I know it well because I have gone there several times with my father to sell crops.
Since a rich city was recruiting mercenaries, I was sure they would be paid well.
My thoughts were the same as those of everyone in the village.
My father, brother, and other men in the village went to the city of Nambonan as mercenaries and almost never returned.
The man who escaped with his life that Nambonan City was gathering mercenaries to fight against the lord of Nambonan City.
The only people in Nambonan were commoners, not even knights.
If I had known that they were recruiting mercenaries to fight against the lord, my father and brother would never have gone to Nambonan City.
Neither my father nor my brother came back.
But the misfortune was not over yet.
Most of the mercenaries gathered by Nambonan City were killed or captured by the lord, but some of them escaped.
One of the fleeing mercenaries came to our village and started looting.
The mercenaries took various things from our village. Not only money and food, but also the lives of everyone in the village.
Thanks to the fact that we happened to have a place to hide in a barn, my mother, Kianeth, and I were saved.
In just one month there were only three members of our family left, but there was no time to be discouraged.
There was nothing left in the house, and there were few survivors in the village.
Kianeth and I started going into the mountains to gather food to help our mother.
One day, I went to the river with Kianeth.
We were so absorbed in catching fish that we did not notice the kidnapping men who approached us.
Even if we had noticed them, we would not have been able to escape. There was no way that I and Kianeth could have defeated the adult men.
Thus, the kidnappers caught me and Kianeth and brought us to Nambonan City.
It seems that the kidnapper was a servant of a merchant operating in Nambonan City.
I find it ironic that we were kidnapped by a merchant from Nambonan City.
Not only did they cheat my father and brother, but they are the worst city to kidnap me and Kianeth.
Most of the women are kidnapped and locked in this room by kidnappers just like me and Kianes.
The entrance and exit of the room has metal bars, so it is a prison itself, except that the people inside have committed no crime.
I hope your mother is well.
I am so sad to hear about the sudden disappearance of Kianeth and I. I wonder if she is okay.
I wondered if she was worried about us.
I found myself with tears streaming down my cheeks.
I was so happy to see her. I'm with you, so please don't cry…… Sis……
I had to be firm as a big sister, but I couldn't control my overflowing tears.
I'm fine, I'm fine,……. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Kianeth …….”
I hugged her to my chest so she could n't see my face
The first thing you need to do is to find a good place to live. Are they sister and brother ……?
An adult woman sitting nearby must have noticed our whispered conversation, because she spoke to us.
Most of the people who are brought in here are very gloomy, but sometimes there are some talkative ones.
As far as I know, Kianeth is the only boy in this room, so she may have been curious and spoke to him.
He said, “Yes, I'm Tycho. I'm Tycho.
I am Kianes.
The woman also introduced herself, and we talked about our villages.
I was in a depressed mood, but I could forget the reality of the situation while we talked about our memories.
The woman seemed to be fond of gossip, and she often told us stories that she had probably gathered in this house.
I heard that the owner of this house is a famous merchant in Nambonan. …… Understand me when I say 'Levios'?”
I only knew the name because it was the territory of the king of the Levios Kingdom.
I don't know where it is located, but it must be in a faraway place where you have to cross a big river three times to get to it.
I know its name.
I know it too. I heard it from an old man in the neighborhood.
The woman looked at me with a look of disgust on her face, as if she were about to throw up.
Then do you know this one? People in Levios are not afraid of doing bad things, you know?
We were actually kidnapped and brought here. I know from experience that they don't mind doing bad things.
We looked at each other, and both of us were unsure of the answer.
In Levios, children who break the spirit's teachings are praised.
Really? I can't believe it.
It's not true.
I and Kianeth denied the woman's words.
The woman did not seem offended and continued talking.
No, it's true. No, it's true. I heard that all the children in Levios disregard the teachings of the spirits. I had a talk with a traveling priestess, and she told me that, you know? Levios territory is a really scary place ……!”
The woman seemed seriously frightened by what she had told me.
I was also somewhat uneasy when I saw how scared she was.
The master here was born in the Levios territory, so he can do such outrageous things with impunity …… Ugh …… I hate it …….”
The woman was no longer looking at me or Kianes.
She had probably been taken out of her room several times before.
At night, men called “Servants” Come in and take some of the women away.
I don't know what criteria they use to select them, but I heard that women who are unlucky enough to be taken to the other rooms are subjected to terrible treatment in the other rooms.
The women return to this room the next morning, but they are so weak that it is pitiful to watch.
Sometimes some of the women never come back. No one says it out loud, but I am sure they are dead.
So, women who have experienced the “Outer room” Even once begin to weep in the evening.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Kianeth and I have never left this room since we were brought here.
We even put our poop and pee in a tub in the corner of the room. There was no room for escape.
As I was thinking of what to say to the woman who was beginning to give off a gloomy vibe, a loud voice echoed through the room.
I hear footsteps! Coming……! Ah, ah!”
The surroundings were already dark, and it was impossible to tell who was saying those words.
But the tone of the voice, tinged with fear, was so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the brain.
The sharp words easily cut through even the small amount of peace that remained in the room.
Everyone scrambled to wrap themselves in the blankets and hide from the servants who were sure to come.
“Sis!
Sis!
I did as everyone else did and crawled under the blankets.
I snuggled into Kianeth's body her and waited for this storm to pass.
I waited for the storm to pass. I hate it!”
Suddenly, a high-pitched scream came from behind the blanket.
Then, as if to control it, a wild male voice followed.
The servants were about to take the woman away.
Get up quickly! Come here!
Help me! No! No more! Take me back to my village! Help me! Somebody help me! Father! Father!
The hand gripping the blanket tightens.
I'm scared.
The woman's screams were getting further and further away from me. It was as if I was sinking into the depths of darkness.
“Hee!
Kyaaaaah!
The sound of a blanket being flung about can be heard, as if she was looking for someone.
It was coming toward us at a great speed with a scream.
“Sis,……”
Kianeth, it's okay, it's okay.
I said to myself.
I knew they might hear my voice her, but I couldn't keep quiet anymore.
The fear that was rising in the back of my throat couldn't be contained.
Kyaaaaah!
Suddenly, the blanket was snatched away with tremendous force.
I opened my eyes to find two men standing there.
'Is that him?
Yes, that's him Yes, and his brother his too.
They were looking for me……
My heartbeat was racing and my hands began to shake at the thought that I was about to be taken out of the room.
The trembling is even felt by Kianeth, who was in close contact with him.
'Ya …… Stop! Don't take my sister!'
Kianeth slid in between the two servants and me and stood up.
But the servants only looked at me.
He said, “Your name is Tico, is it? I'm taking you with me. Get up quickly.
Stay down, boy.”
The taller servant's hand reached out to grab me.
The first to react quickly was Kianeth, who said, “I'll protect you.
I'll protect you, sister!
Kianes kicked the taller servant in the shin as hard as he could.
But since his hands he was chained together, it was apparently difficult for him to keep his center of gravity, and even from the edge, he did not feel the force of the kick at all.
Besides, Kianeth is only 12 years old, and his strength is far below that of a muscular adult male servant.
But it seemed to be enough to make the servant angry.
You little shit!”
The servant slaps Kianes on the cheek, and a dry sound echoes through the room.
The sound was so loud that I couldn't help but imagine the pain Kianeth must have been in, and a cold sweat broke out down my spine.
Another woman screamed in response to the violence, and the room went into a frenzy.
OLA! You're so easy on me, you'll take advantage of me! You're a man, and you need to be made to understand that I'm only letting you stay in my room out of pity, oh!
Kianes is forced to turn his face up as the violent servant grips him by the hair.
I tried to apologize to him, to get him to forgive me for what he had done.
But I couldn't move.
I was just afraid that a grown man would use violence in such an intimidating manner.
Hey, stop it,” He said. Take your brother with you, don't hurt him yet.”
He said, “Oh …… Yeah, that's right……. That's why I hate male kids. I'm just going to take this girl over here. I'd like to have a taste of her pretty face her.
The violent man's sneer made my skin crawl, but I was more worried about Kianeth.
He was thrown out of the room as if to throw him down, and he was shaking as he lay prostrate on the floor.
If you don't want to be like your brother, get up. This is the last time I'm going to tell you nicely.”
The shorter servant has an indifferent tone that gives the impression of coldness, but there is an eeriness to him that is not present in the violent servant.
There is an eeriness about him that is not present in the violent servant.
I stood up, trying not to show any pretense of defying the ruthless servant.
My legs are shaking with fear, and I feel as if my knees are about to break.
I was intoxicated by the sensation that the contents of my head were floating, and my breath was labored as if I were drowning at the bottom of the ocean.
Even so, I continued to stand up, trying to rouse my small, shriveled heart.
