Chapter 494: A Girl’s ThoughtsI wonder why I am here.
My name is Charlotte von Vold. I am the first born daughter to the Vold Barony.
On a day that I thought everyday life would continue normally, the Vold Barony disappeared.
Father collapsed from the shock, eventually passing away at that very spot. Mother had also collapsed.
Then I was restrained by a soldier, and by the time I had realized it, I was already in a small room in a slavery company.
There were two other girls of similar age to me in the room.
Gina-san, one of the two girls, was trying to console myself, who had been dazed over the sudden change in my circumstances, and the other girl, Ana-san.
Gina-san was the daughter of a merchant family, and she was sold as repayment for the debt her father had incurred from her fathers failed venture and to keep the shop afloat.
Even though she had a horrible experience of being sold by her parents, Gina-san always faced forward, and soon told herself that she would buy her freedom back.
The other girl, Ana-san, had an even more horrible reason. Her parents also owned a small store, but because of her fathers addiction to gambling, she was sold to fund her fathers gambling addiction rather than because a business failure.
She was a truly bright girl, and she had been working very hard for her familys business, but she had closed her heart after having gone through such an experience.
It was the same for myself. I, who was raised as the precious daughter of the Baron Vold and graduated as the top student in the academy at the Royal Capital, was involved with the management of our fief and I was proud of my own excellence.
Then I fell into slavery without so much as a rebuttal. Moreover, as I am a criminal slave, I essentially will never be freed.
My life was over.
Had the three of us not been purchased by Iruma-sama
A day not long after coming to this place, the proprietress of this slavery company Moulin-san brought us to a special room.
Lastly, Iruma-sama looked me in the eye and said,
And lastly, Charlotte-san, Ive already decided to buy you. No matter what your opinion is.
Indeed, I am a criminal slave. Even if I am sent to the mines, or made into a sex slave, I have no right to refuse.
The three of us were then purchased by Iruma-sam, and we headed to his Volton mansion in a carriage.
Iruma-samas residence was a series of surprises.
The gates were guarded by golems. Then in the basement, there was a Teleport Gate, which was said to be something that could only be found nonfunctionally in ancient ruins.
Iruma-sama registered our magic power into the Gate and made us pass through without any sort of explanations.
We ascended the stairs from the Gate room after being teleported, and a large window opposite of us showed a magical scenery.
A place where many nobles and merchants are unable to enter, only select individuals are allowed in. This was the Sanctuary, isnt it?
Upon our arrival at the Sanctuary, we were left in the care of Maribelle-san, then Iruma-sama went some place with Sophia-san.
The next day, I was called into Iruma-samas study.
When I returned to the Sanctuary, I immediately called Charlotte to my study.
Now then, just how much do I talk about?
