"Open the cell." Flynn told the slave trader. 

In his past lives, he did not watch all the anime episodes of Mushoku Tensei nor did he read the light novel or manga. So he only knows a little about that world, he always said to himself he would fuck Zenith if he ever had the chance. The woman was very attractive, while probably not the most attractive woman in the series, Zenith in the woman Flynn liked the most. He felt bad about what happened to her during the teleportation incident. 

What's more is that he was jealous Paul got to fuck Zenith for years. Now, it seems Flynn has the perfect opportunity to make Zenith his wife. Although it's also possible that this woman only bears a strong resemblance to Zenith and is a completely different person. He's very positive this woman is Zenith. 

"Are you sure sir? Maybe you would like to talk another look around at the others?" Sai suggested.

"I said to open the door." Flynn repeated in a cold tone.

Said could only sigh, he used one of the keys on the key ring he's holding to open the cell. 

Flynn stepped inside the cell, he saw Zenith get up and aggressively charge at him. Sadly for her, she quickly ran out of breath and fell to the ground.

"Interesting, even as ill as you are. You still have the will to not only survive but to also try to attack me. Tell me, woman, what is your name?" Flynn looked directly into Zenith's blue eyes.

Zenith stared back at the man with a fierce glare that also held curiosity in them. She didn't understand, but this man seemed different than the rest. Looking into his gaze, Zenith can tell this man is more powerful than any others who tried to buy her. Unlike the others Flynn doesn't look at Zenith as if she's nothing but a worthless slave.

"Zenith…my name is Zenith Latreia." Zenith answered, out of all the people who tried to buy her Flynn is the first one she told her name to. 

"Zenith, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman such as yourself. Would you like to come with me, Zenith? I promise you that I, Flynn Greyrat, will take great care of you. You will not die and I will help you get the revenge you desperately seek." Flynn asked. 

Even if she said no, he planned on taking her anyway. 

Zenith's eyes widened in shock, how did Flynn know about her desire for revenge?

Flynn read her like a book. "If you're wondering how I know, it's all in your eyes. Your eyes project a deep desire of vengeance. The will to not die until you make sure your revenge is accomplished with your own hands."

His words shook Zenith to the core, is it really that easy to see? 

"I-I accept your offer…but you better not go back on your word." She said after thinking for a while.

"Good, you won't regret your decision." Flynn bent down and gently cupped her face. He saw how she only had on a long gray shirt that's torn up at the bottom. She's also in need of a bath, Flynn can tell Zenith received even worse treatment than the other low-quality slaves. "Now, sleep for now when you wake up you will no longer be captive here." Flynn subtly applied sleep magic to make Zenith fall asleep. 

He made the chains restricting her and magic bullying collar disappear off her body. Next he picked her up bridal style before turning to the slave trader. "I'm taking her.

"I see, just a warning there are no returns once you officially buy her. Also we will not provide anything to help take care of her, if she dies tomorrow then that's your lost sir." Sai informed Flynn.

"That's fine, but I want a discount on the price. Unlike the other low quality slaves, it's obvious you gave her worse treatment not to mention she's ill." Flynn replied.

Sai nodded in agreement. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stirring awake, Zenith slowly opened her eyes from what felt like a deep slumber. She honestly hasn't slept so well in a long time. Looking around she's very confused about her surroundings, this is clearly not her cell in the slave market. 

"You've finally woken up." She was startled to suddenly hear a voice.

Quickly sitting up, Zenith saw Flynn sitting down in a chair on the side of the bed she's on. His outfit seems to be the same she saw him in earlier except for the black cloak and boots. 

"I-It's you! You're the guy from the slave market." Zenith then remembers the events that took place. "I-I agreed to be bought by you." 

"Good, at least you remembered." Flynn chuckled. 

Zenith glanced around to see the bedroom they were in had light blue walls with white carpet. The walls were blank of any pictures or special designs. Only one decent sized window, a fairly large closet and a bathroom. She noted how soft the bed she's currently on feels. 

The blonde woman also noticed she no longer was wearing the torn up shirt she's used to wearing. She sees that she's clothed in a set of red pajamas, also her body feels as if she's just taken a long bath!

She turned her attention back to Flynn with a certain expression in her eyes.

"Before you ask, no I did not see your naked body. I have the ability to clean myself using magic. I applied that magic onto you and also created a set of new clothes for you to wear. I burned that rag of a shirt you were wearing prior." Flynn said nonchalantly.

Zenith sighed in relief, it's not that she's not grateful. But she didn't want a man she just met looking at her naked body without her consent.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"My home is Sulk Village." Flynn answered.

"Sulk Village? Isn't Sulk Village a near two week trip from the slave market?" Zenith wondered.

"Normally yeah, though I can teleport or fly so it doesn't take me nearly that long to get there and back." Flynn said.

"You can do what?!" Zenith nearly shouted.

"I can fly and teleport, by the way have you noticed your condition?" Flynn reminded her.

Zenith blinked a few times, she realized her body no longer aches in pain nor does she have a fever or body chills. She doesn't feel like she'll pass out from minimal movement either. "I-I'm cured!"

"Yes, your illness was minor at best for me to heal. Although, I can see why the slave trader said he had no way to cure you. Most people around this continent are ignorant to what should be common information." Flynn commented.

Zenith understood Flynn had done a lot for her in the short time they've met. She owes him a lot. "What do you want from me? Why did you buy me from the slave market? From what I know, slaves are lucky to get even a quarter of the treatment you've given me so far." To be honest, she wouldn't be surprised if he bought her to serve him as a sex slave. 

What's worse is if that's truly what he wants, she doesn't have much right to deny him since he essentially saved her life. She doesn't want to even consider escaping since it's clear Flynn is a powerful man. 

Who knows what he might do if she rejects him?

"I'll be blunt, I want you to become my wife." Flynn said while looking in her eyes.

After his words, the room echoed in silence. It wasn't until nearly a minute later when Zenith finally reacted.

"Huh?! You want to marry me?! A slave?!?!!" She shouted in pure shock.
