... ...
After turning several corners in the narrow alleys, Hulim arrived at a messy area of old houses.
Looking at the old houses in front of her, Hulim couldn't help but feel troubled.
"Hey! Little brat over there, do you know where this place is?! How dare you—Huh?!"
A guy wrapped in a gray robe covering his face roared at Hulim fiercely. However, the moment Hulim turned around and met his gaze, he was frightened on the spot and immediately turned around and ran away.
If there is a guide, then you don’t have to look for it yourself, right?
Watching the gray-robed figure flee, Hulim thought...
In the old housing area, inside a lightless wooden house.
"Let me go, let me go!"
"Hmph! Behave yourself!"
The thug with a crew cut tied Fran up tightly with a rope and then threw her directly onto the wooden floor.
"it hurts!"
Fran let out a cry of pain, then raised her head with great effort and looked at the two men.
"What on earth do you want to do!? Let me go quickly! If my father finds out, he will never let you go!"
The two thugs burst into laughter as if they had heard a huge joke.
"Hahaha!"
"Is this guy serious?"
"We're really scared~, so where is your father now~?"
Bang!
The bald thug kicked Fran in the stomach.
"ah!!"
Fran screamed in pain.
“—Ahem! It hurts!”
My body started to tremble from the pain.
Then the bald thug squatted down, stretched out his right hand and pressed Fran's head to the ground.
"Hey, young lady, it seems you don't understand your situation yet! We are two brothers, illegal slave traders specializing in kidnapping! Do you know what this means?"
"Hehehe~!" The crew cut also laughed, "This means that we'll sell you to who knows how far away a place to be a slave to others~!"
"Don't even think anyone will come and rescue you. The town guards will never set foot in a place like this. Tomorrow morning we'll pack you into a cargo box and send you out of town. You see how much we care about you. You must repay us by selling you for a good price!"
"Hahaha, that's right, that's right!"
“… …”
As Fran listened to the two people's unscrupulous words, her heart became more and more desperate, and tears fell down involuntarily.
"Hey~, are you crying? Crying is the right thing to do. After all, you asked for this. What's the point of a young lady from a noble family running to such a dangerous place all by herself? Isn't that just telling others to come and kidnap you? Hahaha~!"
Hearing the bald man's mocking words, Fran felt extremely regretful.
Why did I have to pick on Hulim? If I hadn't been so foolishly angry, I wouldn't have refused my family's pick-up. If I hadn't been so impulsive and followed her into such a place without considering the consequences, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing.
What will happen to me in the future? If my father knew I was missing, would he go crazy? Will I become a slave? Will I be sent to mine, or sent to a suspicious group to be used as experimental materials? Or will I be bought by a disgusting person...
No, why would this happen to me.
No, I don't want to, I would rather die than be a slave!
Is there anyone, is there anyone who can come and save me!
“No… I don’t want to…”
"Huh? What is this guy mumbling about?"
The bald thug put his ear closer.
Fran sobbed and said, "I don't want to be a slave, I don't want to! Someone, someone come and save me..."
"...this guy,"
"Hahaha!"
The two thugs burst into laughter.
"This guy, hasn't he faced reality yet?! Listen carefully!"
"You~, there will definitely be no one to save you--"
boom--!
Before the bald man could finish his words, a loud bang was heard from the door, and then the old wooden door flew in backwards, slammed heavily against the wall, and broke into pieces.
The originally dark room was instantly filled with light coming in from outside the door.
"It seems that I am not too late."
The sudden change in brightness made it difficult for the people in the room to adapt for a while. They couldn't help but squint their eyes. Looking against the direction of the light, there seemed to be a figure.
After adjusting to the brightness, the people in the room could finally see who was standing at the door.
It was a girl about eight or nine years old, holding a wooden stick in her hand.
"No...it's none of my business. I didn't do anything!"
Not far from the door stood a guy wrapped in a gray robe. He said this in a panicked tone and ran away in disgrace.
Hulim didn't care about the guide's departure. These things had nothing to do with him.
"Who are you?"
Although it was very surprising that the person who destroyed the door was a young girl, the bald man did not feel relaxed at all. Instead, his nerves were tense as never before, and he stared at the girl at the door with a serious face.
Hugh... Hulim?!
Fran widened her eyes and looked at Hulim in disbelief.
Why is she here?
Is she here to save me?
