Chapter 12: Slavery II

I..., along with the other group leaders from groups 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 went to investigate for all the listed slavery places tonight. There are ten places listed, so I gave each leader two locations to manage. Where, I myself will look at each location to investigate them one by one. We started moving...first, I went with Brandy to the Wise Fox Lounge bar.

Brandy and I used black robes to disguise ourselves as adventurers. We covered our head with a simple cape. I had to use the magic ring given by Lord Alazuir to change my appearance because my face is quite well known in this Kingdom, I am afraid that some of them will recognize me and our mission will fail miserably.

I opened the door to the bar and straight away saw a strange staircase leading down to the ground. Unlike the previous bar which doesn't look suspicious at all if you look at it in one go. We walked down the stairs...We walk only with the help of oil lamps from left and right wall. Our long shadows from the lights made the place seem twice as creepy as it actually was. Then, we stopped ourselves in front of the big wooden door.

"Password?!" said a man's voice behind the big wooden door.

"I am forgetful..." I answered with my hoarse voice.

I get the password by reading the minds of people who enter this bar with the help of my dark magic.

The door then opened by itself, so we just walked in. I walked in front while Brandy followed behind me. Inside the bar everything was painted in black and dark brown. On the wall there are ornaments of various animal heads and monsters.All eyes were on us as soon as we entered but soon they were doing their own business as usual. Brandy and I sit on a random table we notice.

"Did you get the good one?" I heard a man's voice talking to the person sitting across the table from him.

"Unfortunately not...most of the beautiful women and men have already been bought by this noble man." he answered frowning.

After eavesdropping on their conversation, they called the waiter. Then the waiter showed them to somewhere direction. Seeing them like that, I followed their movements slowly and quitely from behind while hiding my presence. Brandy was busy controlling the movements of other nobles.

I am very traumatise by what I am seeing now. There were many people sitting at a white round table looking at a woman whose legs were tied with iron chains. There were many marks of abuse on the woman and looking at her abnormally thin wrists, the woman looked like she hadn't eaten anything in a week. They are currently bidding on the woman's price.

"150 gold!"

"200 gold!"

"210 gold!"

"250 gold!"

"No one else wants to bid higher!" asked the bidder.

"..."

"300 golds!" I answered suddenly while raising my right hand.

All eyes were on me and finally the bidder announced that the woman is mine.

The woman's handcuffs and legcuffs were unlocked and she walked towards me slowly while staggered. Coming to her, I lifted her with princess carry to a quieter place.

I put her gently on the floor and asked...

"Are you okay?" I asked her as my eyes saw the scars on her body.

I feel very angry and hurt to see her condition like this.

'Now there must be many innocent people who are still suffering...' I thought as my feel my heart is throbbing in anger.

I took her out of the bar along with Brandy. She still looked very scared so I opened my cape and my magic ring. She stared at my face as I holded her up. Apparently, she is less afraid of me...

"S-sir Freya..." The first words that came out of her mouth.

"Yes lady..." I stopped in front of an empty residence as my golden eyes saw her scared face.

"Please help us! My little s-sister is still in that hellish place!" She suddenly knelt down and grabbed both of my legs while saying in a very desperate tone.

"First, let me take you inside and treat your wounds as well break the bad dark magic that binds us both from you so that you can be free. Then we will discuss about the next thing, alright?..." I said in a serious tone.

This time she just nodded as her tears welled up. Inside, after treating her wounds I used my dark magic to break the spell that was placed on the woman's neck. I grabbed her neck and then used my sharp nails to wound the area where the spell was placed. After seeing the blood flowing slowly, I recited a spell to undo the evil spell and suck the blood on the woman's neck. I could see a black mist come out of her wounded neck.

"How now? Do you feel better?" I asked with concern.

"I-I feel better. T-thank you very much, Sir Freya…" She replied looking down.

Then she told all the things that happened in the bar. She also told me a lot of important information such as where they keep the other slaves and the number of slaves there.

After listening to her finish talking, I told her to change her clothes and go to sleep. Soon the leaders of other groups also began to come one by one. All of them told me various reports and infomations that made me feel disgusted and angry.

I told them to just have a rest sleep in this inn because it's getting really late since they have to training with others knight tomorrow with me. Tomorrow we will go to main palace again to start important training.

'*sigh... I really miss my beautiful girl right now...' I thought as I lay on the small bed there staring at the white ceiling and slowly my eyes fell asleep.

To be continue...
