chapter 5
5. Purchased.
―Now, 500 million! It turned out a lot of money that you couldn’t imagine if you didn’t have a huge top! Does anyone want to participate in The Auction?!
Static. The words of Frances Descartes, who paid five times his original bid price, were just as unconventional.
The reason why I sang it five times that I could just sing it a little higher. A warning meaning ‘I have a lot of f*cking money, so if you want to mess with it, try it.’
That stiffly raised head and boldly standing figure clearly show that. There’s probably a triumphant expression behind that cheap rabbit mask.
―500 Million! No more?!
An auctioneer asks one more time in anticipation of whether the price can be raised further. The lady who was going to buy me would raise her hand, but I could see that she was trembling.
No matter how noble you are, 500 million is a lot of money unless you are a great noble or a noble with dozens of upper ranks. It’s not the amount you would invest in a slave auction.
―500 Million! 5… 4… 3… 2… One… ruler! Congratulations on winning the bid!
That’s how I won the bid to France Descartes.
With an overwhelming amount of 500 million.
* * *
The handcuffs that were restraining my wrists and the gag that was blocking my mouth were released, and a choker to prove my slave status was hung around my neck. The auctioneer handed over the slave engraving order to Frances Descartes.
I officially became her slave.
“Now, do well without becoming a burden to the new master.”
Ignore what the auctioneer said. I glanced at Frances Descartes.
Emerald eyes visible through cheap masks. Red wavy hair that stretched back. Frances Descartes was certain.
‘Fortunately, it’s going as planned.’
Then what I have to do has been decided.
‘I will survive somehow.’
Glance. Said Francesca, looking down at me on her knees.
“Follow me.”
Franche pats her on the shoulder with the fan in her hand and heads back as it is. A nice scent rose from her long hair, and her head was filled with the scent of flowers.
I followed her behind with an awkward step. That’s how you get out of the auction house. Said Frances Descartes, taking off her bunny mask on the cheap.
“First of all, we have to go back to the duke’s mansion. But is it late at night now? What are you supposed to do?”
“The master’s escort.”
“Yes, you know that. I hope there is no meaning in burning 500 million won.”
Her arrogance is revealed in her way of speaking. Just as the stem of her beautiful rose has her thorns, so she had her own thorns too.
‘Has that been the attitude from the beginning?’
Jean Warenberg. In other words, the point at which I just won the bid for France Descartes was before the main stage started.
So it must have been before I met Somi-re, the main character of the original story, and before the incident even started.
‘Is it just nature like that?’
Or maybe there was some other incident before meeting Somire, that’s why.
“What do you think?”
“No.”
“Watch your eyes. You’re staring at me so much that it hurts my back, so would you care or not?”
“Sorry.”
All I can say at this point is ‘I’m sorry’, ‘No’, ‘I am’. It’s strange to expect big things from a war slave.
Anyway. I kept following her. This place was definitely a dangerous place as it was a dark place like a lump of cancer in the empire. Her thieves targeting her were detected by her presence.
‘Stupids. Thinking of kidnapping a noblewoman, and a woman of great nobility at that.’
But did Frances Descartes come here alone, without a carriage or escort? Why in my head A question mark was attached. To think that the daughter of a great aristocrat came alone to such a dark place without any defense.
‘That’s a reckless master.’
I could feel the bandits moving. Probably coming soon
The only problem is that I don’t have any weapons right now…….
‘I don’t think I have to subdue it with my bare hands, right?’
I spoke softly to Frances.
“Master.”
“Why?”
“The presence of bandits has been detected.”
He hesitated. Hearing my words, Francesca turned his head and looked at me with his sidelong glance.
“So?”
“Looks like they’re targeting the master.”
“What does it matter that I have you?”
“… No weapons.”
As if Frances Descartes hadn’t expected this, he tapped his left hand with the fan he was holding in his right hand. Widely. Widely.
“Isn’t it okay to subdue it with your bare hands?”
“It is possible, but it may harm the master.”
“Tsk. Do whatever it takes not to harm me.”
“I will try my best.”
“At that time, I will not try, hey. As long as you are my slave, failure is unacceptable.”
“… Sorry.”
Because of my personality, it pisses me off to be so submissive.
‘Whew.’
What can I do? Currently this is my position. Her slave is imprinted on her and cannot stand against her who has her lifeline.
‘Still, it’s better than that fat lady.’
As far as Frances Descartes goes, she is a very good woman. Because she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance and body.
She doesn’t think she bought me for the night service, but she’s a little excited…….
‘No. What am i thinking…….’
Seeing all these thoughts, I must have gone crazy. I would never imagine… No Any strong adult male would expect it.
I’m not weird at all…….
It was then.
“Is it okay for a noble lady to go out in the middle of the night like this?”
The thieves have appeared. The total number is four. Each had an ax and a sword, and some had bows. If this is the case, it would be difficult to keep France Descartes perfectly.
‘Hmm.’
Still, I have no choice but to try. Because Jin is a perfected Munchkin who has reached Sword Master.
‘I don’t know what it’ll be like now, before the original story started.’
I moved forward slowly.
“Do thieves have no idea these days? There’s no way an aristocratic woman would walk around defenselessly alone in the middle of the night like this.”
Of course, this stupid woman has been out all alone. Surprisingly she hasn’t been kidnapped so far.
‘Is it a flower in a greenhouse, or is it just stupid.’
The thief standing in the front spoke.
“Brother. Are you going to stop us alone? Even if we look like simple thieves, in our own way, we are a bit of a gangster in this underworld.”
“Do I know?”
“What?”
“Do I need to know how great you are?”
“This bastard….”
The thief broke arrogance. It was hard to see because it was already dirty, but it was even more difficult to see her face.
“Guys. Catch and suffocate Be careful with that woman. Because the value of the product goes down.”
Dog bastards, who’s the product? Dare to our master…….
‘Huh!’
I hurriedly shook my head to come to my senses. Just a slave with perfect qualities.
“After.”
First of all, I got the posture I saw in martial arts. I don’t know exactly how to fight, but if I just believe in Jin’s senses and battle sense, I’ll be able to do anything.
Two bandits approach me slowly. He was holding an ax for cutting down trees. If you get hit by that, you won’t be so damn sick, right?
The weapon the other guy was holding was a shortsword. Looking at the length, it seemed like it could be held down with a fist.
“You bastard, are you really going to fight?”
The thieves giggled.
“Then let’s see your skills. If you have enough skills to protect a noble lady, you must have skills that we can have fun with, right?”
Okay then. You will be surprised to hear about my true identity. Well, I have no intention of saying anything.
Taat! The one with the ax and the one with the shortsword charged at the same time. He evaded the ax that struck him from above and down to the side, and jabbed at the anchovy with his shortsword. Baek! The rogue, who had been hit in the jaw out of nowhere, staggered.
“You bastard!”
I immediately turned around and kicked the guy with the ax in the stomach with a kick. f*ck! He missed the ax and grabbed his stomach.
“Keuk, kuk. Ooohhhhh.”
A thief who vomits as if he had been drinking and snacking until just now. It’s f*cking dirty.
“I’m sure he’s no ordinary guy. You deserve to be confident!”
The thief still holding the shortsword is fine. Weak jab? Usually, if you hit the jaw, you’ll fall down at once…….
‘Maybe it’s because I halfway copied it.’
For obvious reasons. No matter how overwhelming Jin’s body and senses are, how would a mutuber who was playing games in the corner of the room copy boxing? I’ve seen it in games and videos.
A guy who appears to be the captain approaches with a huge axe. That buck that buck The guy holding the shortsword also crept up to the side.
I got back into my martial arts stance.
“Search!”
The captain thief holding a huge ax charges at you with a fierce shout. It’s a gambler, but there’s something I want to try. If it’s Jin’s body, it’s possible enough.
A huge ax rushing at my head. I turned around and put my weight on my fists. Throw a hook Kang! The sound of steel colliding with each other. The trajectory of the ax missed and hit the floor.
My fist was tingling. Don’t do it again
“What… !”
I opened my eyes wide and gave a kick to the stooped thief’s chin. Baek! The thief, who was hit with a toe kick straight ahead, fell backwards.
“Gagging… ….”
Cut the two guys like this.
An arrow came flying. I opened my eyes and focused on the sensation. The arrow seemed to fly slowly, like a baseball player in good shape. Caught up in an instant The arrow stopped right in front of my eyes.
“Crazy! Catching arrows?!”
The thief holding the short sword and the thief holding the bow hesitate. I didn’t miss the time and threw the arrow back like a dart. Fu-wook! An arrow pierced the forehead of the thief who was holding the bow, and blood was shed.
“Huh, huh!”
A rogue with a shortsword dropped to his knees, dropping his weapon.
“Sir, sorry! We don’t know you and are arrogant… !”
A thief is a thief. Stupid asshole From the point of targeting the noble lady, you guys did something that shouldn’t be done.
“Any last words?”
I picked up an ax lying on the floor.
“Please, please save me just once! I will do anything!”
I turned around and asked Frances.
“Master, what should I do?”
“What are you going to do? Kill me.”
Jerbug. Took a step forward
“Please, please!”
Don’t look at me like that. It’s the owner’s choice, what can I do?
Poof. I swung the ax lightly. Blood splattered into the air and splashed on my cheek. Sticky blood. It smelled of iron.
“Tsk.”
I wiped the blood with my sleeve.
“This is everything.”
“As you can see, your skills are good.”
“Thank you.”
“It’s not really a compliment. Let’s go to the duke’s house now.”
After finishing off the still living bandits, I followed her. It is said that slaves should not block their masters. This makes me feel like a dog.
“Aren’t you curious about the reason for going to the Duke’s House?”
“I knew that the owner was a princess.”
“Oh, is it because he came from a prince from the next country? You knew who I was.”
“I didn’t really know. It was just enough to call the amount of 500 million, so I just inferred that he was a great nobleman.”
“Huh. Your head is spinning on its own.”
Isn’t this just something you can think of? Even if you ignore me, you ignored me too much.
“Let’s go back to the duke’s mansion now. You have a lot of work to do.”
I nodded. No matter what, to survive in this harsh world.
France smiled slightly, as if she liked me. It was a beautiful smile that captivated people.
‘Let’s go to the duke’s house.’
