Idle Talk 1: Idle Talk: Maiden Slave
The village I lived in was attacked by thieves. The men were killed and the women were violated. When mother died, I was with father and we failed to escape. Father was killed and children like me were caught and, just like that, we were sold.
The thieves sold us to someone called a broker and we were brought to Volton.
But we thought it was still better than hell. The reason being that the one who bought us was Moulin-sama of the Moulin Slavery company who has a policy of not selling children until they become adults.
The Feudal Lord who governs Volton also seems to be a person who rules benevolently. Thanks to that, the Moulin Slavery Company that is based in this town does not treat its slaves cruelly.
Moulin-sama, contracted us illegal slave children with the same terms as those of debt slaves. The terms are that we could be released once we save up the sum of expenses used until we became adults plus the company’s profits at the time of our sale.
Wanting to be released as soon as possible, there were some children who had agreed to prostitution contracts and were bought by brothels, but I wanted to work my hardest to take back my own life.
At Moulin Slavery Company, with reading, writing, and calculations as a matter of course, we were taught from good etiquette up to how to use a knife for self-defense.Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om
「You can become a battle maid.」
What Moulin-sama wanted from me, I don’t know, but this experience later became a huge asset for me.
「Since you are pretty, you can live an easy life if you become a noble’s mistress.」
Moulin-sama says that but nobles disregarding contracts altogether is scary. Forcing someone to spend the night without that person’s consent is a crime, but that would be unscrupulously scrapped if it’s a powerful noble.
However, I am not in a position where I could choose the master who buys me.
So I pray to Goddess Norn everyday.
Please, make it so that a kind master buys me.
At that time, someone who bought the elf war slave, Sophia-san, appeared.
「Master, I will endeavor to forever stay by your side.」
Bought together with Sophia-san, I naturally said so.
What came after was a succession of surprises.
The first surprise was, while we were on the way to the mansion, Master said that Sophia-san’s curse has been dispelled. Sophia-san has, in fact, become able to use magic, and seeing Sophia-san’s delight pleased me as well.
The second surprise was when Master’s familiar, a large spider, Kaede-chan was introduced. My apologies but I could not control my face from cramping up.
The third surprise is that there is a large bath in the mansion and Sophia-san and I who are slaves are encouraged to use it freely.
Guiding us through the mansion and surprising us with the bathroom, Master filled the tub with hot water with the affixed magic device[1], told us to use it as we wish and left.
Excitedly, Sophia-san and I enjoyed a bath that one wouldn’t experience if they weren’t a high ranking noble.
Lastly, the fourth surprise is that Master healed Sophia-san’s lost limbs. It’s been said that not even the high ranking priests in the Divine Empire of Sydnia could heal lost limbs.
Just who could Master be? He might be a familiar spirit of Goddess Norn-sama.
At this time, Sophia-san decided that she would serve Master his whole life.
Sophia-san wanted to sleep with Master and he accepted. The next day, naturally, I too wanted to sleep with him, and so my mind and body became Master’s.
Thereafter, aside from doing my duties at the mansion, I wished for power to protect master’s secrets together with Sophia-san.
To always be with Master.
