Chap 2: A desperate measure or not?

Everything was so bright. So clear. He stood in front of a large window with his father and sister. They all had smiles on their faces.

"Fraynal! Are you feeling okay? Do you feel sick? Do you need anything? "

" No ,father it's nothing. " I answered so to father , I who now have new identity as Shad Fraynal. my father Shad Graytis was the wealthiest underground merchant in this world. I don't lack any resources but my cultivation path and mana building was blocked only my superpower was left . " My father Shad Graytis, who used to travel around the country buying and selling various objects, items and even slaves. So I got to choose a slave at my 5th birthday , even though I said I got to choose it wasn't me who choose, It was my mother.

As I grew up I learned the language very quickly.

I shad Fraynal is a boy at age of 6 now.

My slave is a beautiful young girl at age of 6 who was a fallen royal princess of neighbouring kingdom. she was sold at auction when she were 2 years old and no one bother to bought her since she didn't have any talent and she passed the age of 1 years old so most of the Cursed and Dark scientists, researchers, magicians, and cultists didn't even look at her just because at this chaotic era , too easy to get many materials such as infants, old people and taboos experimental , most of them rearing humans just like they rearing animals.

My slave had no problem at all living in my house and she was very obedient to me. She helped me every day and cooked delicious meals for me it just a play though.. I loved having her by my side. We also played together everyday, which was fun.

I also taught her some basic fighting moves since she wasn't trained much.

"You'll make a wonderful lady someday. " She would say whenever we fought.

She was the best companion anyone could ask for.

"Hey... " She called me as I was practicing. I stopped moving and turned around .

" Have you thought about giving me a new name? " she said with a smile.

I just being silent about it. That was the time she step more closer while crying .

" Am I not worthy being your slave ? I can't be with you anymore? I look around but you didn't treat me like other slaves. "

" I just felt a bit guilty because I have fun with you that I couldn't bring myself to treat you as a slave. " I hesitate but eventually said it.

" People said that what you've done to me are the things most nobles did if they don't want the slaves any longer."

Since it was just her worry about being left , I assure her " Don't worry, as long as you still want to be by my side, I'll never throw you away. " I hugged her instinctively as I saw her frail condition. (trembling and small.) since than our relationship grew Better and better.

I also taught her about history as we spent most of our time doing lessons and reading books, although my library was very limited so it took some time until we finally managed to read a lot of books and memorize a lot of information about history.

"What are those?" She asked me curiously pointing to two strange looking objects lying near her crib.

The book was a very rare one that had a whole section dedicated to legends and tales, but my little brother was interested in it a lot, so that's what he wanted.

" Those are called magic mirrors. They can show anything you want. " I explained as she picked it up carefully " You see... "

I put the mirror under her nose.

"Do you see it? All of your hair! "

I laughed when she started babbling something that sounded like 'I'm pretty'. Then I showed her another one.

"See this! This book also has magical stories about the past."

And another. She kept picking it and studying it until she finally reached for one where the story was about dragons.

The book was called: Tales of the Dragon King, written by the great scholar, Shiroo the dragon king. It's written in the dragon tongue so it's hard to understand but it sounds nice.

then I saw two weird balls so I picked them up, curious as hell. "Those are two magic balls. It's called a sphere, and these weird little things inside them will show you anything that you would ever wanna know. " I explained.

" Magic? "

" Yes. I'M a mage. It's a special skill that allows you to see a person's soul using magic. "

She seemed a bit skeptical, but then she asked a question that confused me. " What's your soul color?"

"Red. "

"So, you're an angel right? "

" No, As red just one of the colours. oh and before I tell you my secrets , promise me never tell anyone about it."

she nodded enthusiastically " I'll never reveal it."

"Promise? "

she nodded again " I promise."

I was nervous about this moment for some reason. It was probably because of all the time that has passed since then. I have a superpower that have abilities , powers and spells that even gods and wizards couldn't imagine. It might sound absurd but it really does matter a lot and everyone knows that magic doesn't come from nowhere. There was a huge difference between me being able to control plants and beasts of all sorts, and being able to manipulate souls that was different.

"You're sure?"

She looked a bit scared and said yes.

"Then I guess I should start telling you my secret."

I told her the story that happened to us when she was 5 years old when we were attacked by monsters. At that time, I still remember how happy her expression changed to surprise when I told her about this. I can't explain but they were quite different from all other powers I have ever encountered and it's all because of her.

"Let's do this." I muttered to myself trying to calm myself down before revealing my secret to her

I took off my top to expose my skin.

her eyes widened upon seeing my naked body

because there's a big scar on my chest.

" I didn't have enough knowledge at that time but now I have. "

I tried to control and use the power as the warmth spread to my chest and the scar healed at rapid paces.

" At that time we bought you from the auction place , we got a trouble as bandits attacking with their animals beasts. You almost being killed at that time so I tried to save you but I got scratched because of it. That's also might be the reason you're willing to be with me."

" I Saw how badly people treat you but I can't do the same." I told her looking at her worried expression and sighed.

" I want to live my life as normal. But if only you understood.. "

" understand? What?!"

" Everything that happens in this town. In this kingdom. This kingdom is not good to us." I said quietly " And you must not talk about this to anyone because otherwise, they'll kill you."

Her eyes widen.

" I'll try to keep it in mind, but why me? Why am I important? "

I sat beside her on the bed and pulled her into a hug and kissed her head.

She smiled as she hugged back.

" Yes , You're important to me. Aside from you, my mother ,sister, my adopted eldest sister and father no one else is important. "

At this time I realized that she have a hidden bloodline and talent. it just being sealed for some reasons.

" But I don't have anything worthy of that. I know I am selfish, it just I don't have anyone else. I don't want to go back to that scary place. even if you said I can be with you, (your father) master of the house won't allow it. If by age of ten I can't meet the requirements I'll be sold to brothel . It's fun being with you , I don't want to go. "

" I have the way as long as you want to. "

" Yes, I'll do anything ." She Rather than go to other places that scary, it's better here. I am not starving, have a bath and bed room. She actually also a reincarnator but she only regained her memories when she was sent to the auction hall. Nothing more she could do even with her knowledge. But now she can change her fate. Nothing she could do cause she was just 15 years old when she died before.

desperate? or not ?
