ch12

A few days have passed. The letter came to the imperial palace and was sent to the royal guards' office. The guard who received the letter ignored it and just threw it together with the countless letters of complaints.

On the other hand, I was promoted to full-fledged librarian and was able to access the second and third floors.In these past days, I read the reports the hive gave me. They even included an invitation for an auction related to one of the counts I took interest in.

They said Count Emmett does slave trading and loves to have a collection of them. It says that he even modified his mansion just to make a secret room for them.the nerve of this guy. This country banned slave trading, but he does it right under the emperor's nose? He's quite brave, huh?

The auction will be held after two weeks. Weeks have gone by, and I've learned a lot of things. some spells, simple and complex. I managed to learn things I can use to hide myself, like transformation spells. It is pretty handy; I found it on the third floor. As a fifth-circle magician, I learned low-level spells easily.

The time has come for me to take action. I changed myself into a brown-haired girl.The auction house was held in another town near the capital and was governed by Marquis Nicholson, another noble related to the rotten skulls.

I came to Wallux town; the auction house is a manor in the farthest part of the town where no buildings are built within five kilometers of it. People entered wearing masks; a masquerade party was being held. While we ate, I looked for Count Emmett and decided to get his attention. After he took notice of me, he kept on insisting on being my partner for the party, which is my motive.

Together, we went through the party. We went to the auction room afterwards. Escorts are not allowed inside the auction room, and now the auction has started. It was a normal but big room. big enough to hold events like balls. Besides the count, I was near the front of the crowd. Not only beautiful young girls are being auctioned off; even young boys are on display as well.

Tsk! disgusting people. They can't even be considered humans. How can they do that? They're also humans like them. Those slaves don't even look sane. Did they drug them? How hateful! They look like a pretty and clean version of zombies. 

.

Things are getting heated, so I cast "Storm Rage," a spell I learned from a game I played before. I took the idea and explanation from it and made use of them here. I freeze the whole place except the slaves. Of course, I made sure not to harm them. Finally, to end things up, I break the ice statues with my silver threads.

The guards were alarmed by the spell that was cast and the sounds of blocks of ice falling. I break down the walls and hurriedly escape. The guards found the hole I made and tried to go after me, but they failed to catch me.They decided to go back to check if there was still anyone alive, but, to their luck, there was no survivor.

The auctioneer suffered a huge setback as their guests were mostly nobles. They were hunted due to the number of nobles who died during the auction.This event has reached the ears of his majesty. The nobles suffered even more due to the anger of his majesty Claudius Louis von Argentine, emperor of the Argen Empire.

Knowing that slave trading was banned, the emperor became even more strict with his rule and with his subjects. Marquis Nicholson was also reprimanded because it happened on his land.

I left the town right away. I made sure that the soldiers got wind of it before I got locked up in that place. I felt nervous as I ran away. I have mixed feelings about what I did. But remembering the faces of the slaves, which looked like they were drugged, I thought they all deserved to die. It's only a pity that they get to die that fast. If only the situation let me, I would like to torture those fucking bastards.

I went through the forest and washed myself.

I hurried back home and went to sleep.
