Enjoy
As the auction progressed, I couldn't help the apathy rising
.
Instead of naming this place
“
Paradise
“
,
It was
“
Hell
“
is the most appropriate term for such a place
.
The slave auction is clearly illegal and prohibited,
But why are there so many people in the auction house?
“
The next product is the Lunetia siblings
.
They both have pure white hair and white eyes
.
They are both educated
…”
,
The half-masked man introduced the slaves with a smile
.
Without realizing the disgusting situation he was in
.
The siblings were dragged to the middle of the stage
.
A long chain is tied to their hands and ankles
.
Countless wounds marred the entire body,
It leaves ugly marks on their skin
.
“
What do you think?
“
As Isaac said, Henry said lightly
.
“
If you're going to buy one, just buy the girl
.
Since she can read,
We can have her read LeBlin's fantasy books
“.
The auction progressed and soon they were both forcefully pulled off the stage
.
The next slave in turn was a tall man
.
His long, shaggy hair completely covered his face
.
A roar burst from his mouth, filling the entire hall, as he was dragged from the slave cage
.
There was an iron shackle hanging around his neck.
Connected to countless chains that bound his entire body
.
He looked worse than the previous slaves
.
Isaac's eyes sparkled with eagerness
.
“
Henry, look
!
Maybe this guy could burn lanterns and circulate them around the castle all day
“.
“
No
.
It's very violent
.
What if LeBlin gets hurt?
“
Henry scolded his brother
.
He asked, moving his gaze to me
.
“
LeBlin, do you like any of them?
“
“….”
“
LeBlin?
“
“
No
hand
Yes
Exterminate
…”
(
I don't want any slaves
....)
Isaac tilted his head at my words in confusion
.
“
Why?
“
“
They are so ugly
“
(
They are very strong
.)
“
This means they are good slaves
.
My predecessor told me it was terrible to be weak
. “
'
Damn ancestor
.’
I cursed inside my mind
.
They must have some corrupt principles
.
Why do they teach children such things?
If they are still alive,
I would choke them into oblivion
.
“
Uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
!
An angry growl rang out again from the disheveled man
.
The viewer can only stare at the massive gust of wind building up from the focus of the stage in amazement
.
“
Click
!
In the midst of the wind, the man's chains broke and he fell
.
The sound of dull chains echoed on the floor in the opera hall
.
Then he hit the ground with his fist and bounced towards the VIP section on the second floor where we were sitting
.
“
Click
!
The dull metal sound rang out again
.
The man now settled on the railing
.
He scanned his surroundings with a fierce gaze,
And try to find a way out of this hell hole
.
Unfortunately for him, there was no way out and nowhere to run to
.
He gritted his teeth,
Perseverance flashed through his eyes and somehow his gaze fell on me
.
'
Don't tell me
…
He wants to take me hostage?
'
As if reading my thoughts, the man extended his hand towards my directions
…
“…!”
I unconsciously close my eyes and hug my body,
I prepare myself for the next attack
.
However, no matter how much time passed, nothing came
.
I slowly opened one of my eyes and saw an amazing sight in front of me
.
Isek's sword blocked the man's outstretched hand, and the red mana from Henry's hand surrounded me, similar to a cocoon, enveloping me in his protection.
.
Isaac quickly put his foot under the man's leg, knocking him off the railing
.
Soon the man collided,
Unable to defy gravity, he crashes to the ground with a powerful thump
.
Isaac immediately climbed onto the railing and jumped from the balcony, following the slave
.
He landed next to the man's sprawling body
.
Even before the man can get up,
The sword was already pointed at his chest
.
The slave let out a frustrated growl
.
I hurriedly grabbed the railing and looked down at the VIP section
.
The beautiful floor was cracked and cracked as if a meteorite had fallen
.
The man's body was shining blue from a line that extended from Isaac's hand,
A seemingly thin line of mana connected his entire body
.
The line bound him more tightly than a metal chain
.
Because of the line,
He couldn't even move an inch
.
His entire body was frozen
.
A sense of awe crept into the hearts of fans as they witnessed the power of the brothers in person
.
Isaac waved to me from the first floor
.
“
Baby girl, he's so strong
.
Don't you want to play with it?
“
“
He is truly a special creature
.
Born by combining human and animal blood
.
Moreover, this fellow is still young
.
Little miss will be able to play with it for a long time
“.
'
What are you talking about? Are you crazy?
'
I could only stare in disbelief at the half-masked auction organizer who said those words
.
I would rather return to the estate than buy any of the slaves here
.
'
How do I convince the brothers not to harm them?
'
No matter how long I think about it,
I could only find one way to convince them
.
‘…
I wasn't planning on doing this in a crowded place, however
…’
By surrendering my pride,
“
Wow
!
She shouted with an expression full of excitement
.
“
Isiac and Hinoy are brilliant
!
(
Isaac and Henry are great
!)
Isaac and Henry's eyes widened at my unexpected announcement
.
“
Bewin doesn't need new games
.
I would love to play with Hinoy and Issac more
.
Whenever I break my heart from them
! “
(
Belen doesn't need new toys
.
I would love to play with Henry Wyzek more
.
Both of you are cooler than them
!)
I hugged Henry, who was standing next to me, tightly
.
His body instantly stiffened in surprise at my sudden actions,
But I saw his lips twitch upward with triumph even then
.
“
So
…
Shall we just go?
“
“
Yes
!
“
Yes, let's go back
.
As soon as possible
.’
Once I return, I will tell the temple and the imperial family about the hateful half-masked man
.
On the other hand,
As if his game had been taken away,
Isik acquiesced with a disappointed face
.
“
Oh, well, if you think so
.
Let's go
.
By the way, baby girl
…”
“…
?
“
I tilted my head at his unfinished question
.
“
How fun is it to play with us?
“
I said with a big smile
.
“
Be careful
!
(
The most fun
!)
I felt that the situation had finally turned in my favor as both brothers' faces lit up
.
Suddenly, the entrance door opened violently.
A familiar person entered the three of us
.
“
Duke?
“
(
Duke?
)
Before I knew it, the Duke entered the place
.
With his big steps, he was standing next to me in a few seconds
.
His facial expression was gloomy, as if the sky had collapsed
.
The two brothers' expressions unwittingly turned rigid,
As if he was reflecting the image of their father, upon his arrival
.
***
A few minutes after the siblings left for
“
Paradise
“
,
A man was sitting in a plush leather chair, frowning
.
The servant reported on the little trip LeBlin had made to the store,
He couldn't help but tremble under his boss's dark mood
.
'
This is a lousy trick
'
,
He thought, criticizing his sons' actions
.
“
The first thing a child receives is the most memorable gift
“
The Duke thought so
“
If so,
The gift given by his children will be more memorable than him
“.
As the thought was leaving his mind, his already dark expression became even more ominous, frightening all the people in his room.
.
He didn't wait another second,
He slipped on his outer coat and walked out of his office
.
He didn't even respond to Noss and the managers' call to finish the paperwork first
.
His mind replays when he was alone with LeBlin, without the two brothers by her side
.
His life was very peaceful and fulfilling
.
Life passed slowly and LeBlin would sit in his lap all day
.
His usual heavy mood brightened whenever the little girl was by his side
.
Unfortunately, after going through the formal adoption process,
The time between father and daughter seemed to decrease
.
Either because of accidents that come one after another or because of increasing paperwork
.
But even with his busy schedule,
He was still on her list of favorite people
.
Only after his sons came did the situation change
.
Doubled recalls his first interaction with the girl
.
At first, he thought she was a nuisance in his life
.
Just a brave child who was not afraid of his cold glare and boldly chased after him
.
She enthusiastically walked behind him every day, following him wherever he went
.
Doubled never realized, since when had he felt so empty without the little girl's presence?
He didn't know exactly when or how he started taking care of her
.
But he still remembered the anger that flooded his mind when the servant told him that LeBlin had fallen ill
.
Her words were playing in his head like a broken record.
As if these were her last words
.
“
Duke
!
“
The Duke was my father
!
(
Please be my father
!)
He almost let anger consume him and ordered the execution of more than ten doctors that day
.
Fortunately, LeBlin woke up before the order was carried out
.
She managed to pull the Duke out of the cloud of madness
.
He quietly closed his eyes and leaned back on the comfortable seat of the carriage
.
Without realizing it, he was remembering all the happy times he spent with his daughter
.
Suddenly, a knock from the jockey's seat woke him from his nap
.
“
Your Majesty, we have arrived
“
The Duke fixed his outer coat before descending onto the carriage
.
Nous, who had failed to talk Doppeld out of this trip,
He was now standing next to him
.
“
Where are Blaine and the boys?
“
“
They're at the slave auction house,
“
Paradise
“.
The Duke narrowed his eyes
.
He knew
“
Paradise
“.
It was a slave auction that was hidden under a beautiful building to hide their activity,
Immigrants and prisoners of war were auctioned off as if they were a product
.
This place has been a long-standing problem for his domain
.
The sale of spirits itself was illegal;
However, the Opera House was an untouched corner, even for an Earth Ruler, like him
.
It would have been more appropriate to say that the auction had a trick up its sleeve than that it was untouchable
.
It wasn't just unusual for a lord to overlook some big criminal trade, especially one that people favored
.
The auction itself had some powerful sponsors which made it difficult for anyone to tear the place down
.
“
Are they giving a slave as a children's day gift to LeBlin?
“
“
It seems so
“
Upon hearing Nous's response,
The Duke couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, condemning the brothers' plan
.
“
They are doing pointless things again
“
The brothers wanted to buy a slave for the girl as a gift
.
So let's see their reaction when he bought her
20
A slave
.
The Duke was walking towards the entrance, when LeBlin's words pricked his ear
.
“
How fun is it to play with us?
“
“
The most fun
!
When the ridiculous phrase passed his ears,
The Duke stopped in his tracks for a second before walking towards the brothers with a long stride
.
He alternately looked at LeBlin and his bewildered sons before finally asking Nos in a chilling tone
.
“
Blow it up
“
“
Pardon?
“
Somehow feeling that the Duke's word didn't make sense,
Nos licked his lips anxiously and prepared for the Duke's answer
.
Then the Duke announced through his sad teeth
.
“
This damned place burned to the ground
“
***
Everything passed in the blink of an eye,
I could only stare blankly at the burning opera house
.
The Duke ordered his men to burn
“
Paradise
“
,
Without even taking a moment to hear any explanation
.
As soon as the Duke's order arrived,
Four black-robed attendants appeared from the shadows next to him and drew mana out of nowhere, burning down the beautiful building
.
Without even caring about the disturbance he caused,
The Duke picked me up in his arms and walked to the entrance of the building
.
“
Boom
!
A sudden large explosion occurred inside the building before the last standing structure crashed into a pile of rubble
.
The good news was that everyone got out in time and there were no injuries
.
All because of Nous's desperate scream before the building burned down
.
“
Those who want to live flee
!
he shouted
.
“
Fortunately, all the slaves were let out as well
“.
At the entrance, instead of panicking like all the visitors, there was a rather lazy man who counted all the runaway slaves and said to us,
“
The goods are now all yours
.
Pay for it
“.
'
He should have been buried under the rubble
.’
She looked at the man hatefully
.
“
What's wrong, baby girl? Do you love him too?
“
She immediately frowned at Isaac's words
.
'
How did he reach this conclusion?
'
There is no way I would love such a cunning person
.
Then I realized that Isaac's eyes were not on the hateful man
.
Instead it was the disheveled man crouching behind him
.
It turned out that it was the slave who tried to take me hostage
.
“
Should we buy it? If you wish,
It is better to buy it now
.
Now that the building has collapsed, we won't be able to enter the auction for some time
“.
“….”
“
I will buy it for you,
But you should also play with us even if you buy it
.
You said yourself that we are the coolest in the world
! “
I didn't know why he thought I wanted to buy the slave
.
It never even occurred to me to buy any slaves
.
I happened to know about this auction because of the brothers
.
If they hadn't tried to buy me a weird gift,
When I knew about this
“
Paradise
“
Horrible
.
I really need to discipline them both
.
'
If the carrot doesn't work, he needs a whip
.
If the service request is unsuccessful,
It's time to do it the hard way
.’
I looked at Isaac and said
.
“
No
,
I won't
The wolf
…”
(
No
,
I won't
I play
…)
“
huh?
Why?
!
“
By switching between the two leaders, it is very interesting
“
(
Thinking about it, you're not so great
.)
“
Why?
!
No way, I said I was the best
! “
Isik shouted desperately
.
