Chương 7: The Dungeon!

Mr. Gilbert came, he was a man in his 50s, his body was sturdy and sturdy, indicating that the man had high martial arts skills. In the past, Mr. Gilbert was a member of the royal special forces who had a lot of experience on the battlefield. After retiring from the military, this man served as head of the palace household.

"Master Gilbert, I present to you a gift, a galley slave!" Madame Butterfly to the point. This woman showed her charm with her distinctive smile, like a seductive woman.

Mr. Gilbert greeted with a cold smile. He knew Madame Butterfly was who was greedy for wealth.

How could this woman give gifts without a specific purpose? Mr. Gilbert couldn't be indifferent to madame Butterfly.

Madame Butterfly is a dangerous woman. Apart from her role as a wealthy businesswoman, this woman has a strong influence in because of her magical abilities.

"Kitchen slave?!" Mr. Gilbert was surprised. But this man quickly hid the surprise on his face.

Madame Butterfly knows the needs of this palace. Constantine's palace had difficulty paying the official salaries of palace servants.

Therefore, forced labor reduced the burden on palace expenses. Apart from that, Constantine's kingdom lost many slaves after the pandemic. Constantine's kingdom experienced an economic crisis. The kingdom's income has been reduced due to the pandemic for 2 years.

"That's right. I gave you the kitchen slave because of our good relationship!" Madame Butterfly said with a sincere (forced) smile. She had nothing to lose, because the gold she used to buy Darlene's slave came from prince Lexius, that man was getting even stranger. However, madame Butterfly felt like she was because she didn't get additional gold from Mr. Gilbert.

Mr. Gilbert nodded with a happy smile, after seeing madame Butterfly's sincerity.

"This woman keeps the relationship!" Mr. Gilbert praised inwardly.

"Thank you much. We are short of manpower"

"Sorry... take it" Mr. Gilbert took out a bag of gold coins. "This money is for your team!

Madame Butterfly smiled at her. How did she want to give this bag of gold to those fake mercenaries? They have received payment in advance. But she wasn't the one paying the fake mercenaries. Prince Lexius paid.

Madame Butterfly became suspicious that Prince Lexius liked Princess Darlene.

Mr. Gilbert smiled at Madame Butterfly, inwardly admiring madame Butterfly. He thought that Madame Butterfly was getting richer, she dared to give him slaves, the price of slaves was not cheap. Apart from that, madame Butterfly came with an army. Mr Gilbert knew that those troops were just mercenaries.

"They were recruited from criminals. Amazing. I'm increasingly suspicious, this woman has the support of a powerful kingdom. What is her goal?!"_

"Hmm, where is the kitchen slave?" asked Mr. Gilbert. This man is known to not talk much. Madame Butterfly knew that.

"She was taken to the dungeon!" Answered the bodyguard. (Oh so the kitchen slave is a woman) Mr. Gilbert nodded.

"Oh. I'll see later!"

"Mr. Gilbert, I brought a lot of trinkets, clothes, jewelry and women's shoes!" Madame Butterfly opens trading.

Mr. Gilbert nodded in understanding, madame Butterfly didn't want to lose. The woman sells women's necessities in the basement. These women will later be given gifts to officials or royal guests. Mr. Gilbert secretly has an illicit business.

Madame Butterfly turned to the boss of the slave trader next to her.

"Mr Rodney...!" She said in a soft voice.

"Master Rodney? Who? Me?! What?"_ the slave trader boss was surprised.

Madame Butterfly calls him "master Rodney". This woman gave him a name.

In this slave trader group organization, the members did not have names.

Every member who joins discards their name. For example, if a member's name is Richy, John, Josh,... the name is replaced with tall, thin, short, or with the name of their position in the group, assistant, treasurer, cook, attacker, junior, senior.

Meanwhile, the name of the chairman is replaced with the name of an animal, Lion, Tiger, desert wolf, eagle. As for the name of this group's boss, he is called Tiger, no one knows his name. However, the name Tiger cannot be said by its members, it can be said by the leader of the sword slaves. And among them they were called 'Boss'.

Why is that? This is to protect the true identity of each member and their family which is l unknown to each member. The boss knows. In addition, this pseudonym is to protect the group from being targeted by the government.

However, sometimes this group of slaves had trade relations with government officials or royal officials. Prince Lexius did not have direct contact with this slave trader when selling princess Darlene. He used one of his assistants to contact this slave trader boss. Madame Butterfly, one of Prince Lexius' minions. This woman accepted Prince Lexius' offer, because this was her side business, namely the human sales business.

***

In prince Lexius' room, this man sat on a chair while looking watching Lady Butterfly and her entourage of slave traders leave the palace.

Madame Butterfly bothered her That woman is crazy about money.

She benefited a lot from princess Darlene's case. Prince Lexus gave him 30 gold bars, money to keep his mouth shut, to prevent his father from finding out about his actions, namely thwarting the murder of Princess Darlene, and selling Princess Darlene to Constantine's kingdom.

"Huh!" Prince Lexus hated remembering how cunning Madame Butterfly was. But he was forced to use Madame Butterfly's services, because women could be relied on.

Prince Lexius visited Constantine's kingdom to find his soul mate.

The royal empress Constantine hoped that one of her daughters could marry prince Lexius.

However, neither of these two royal princesses was able to capture his heart. Looking for a soul mate is an excuse. Because the main goal is to hide Princess Darlene. prince Lexius did that for his own purposes.

He had to make sure princess Darlene was trapped here.

Until no one knew that the heir to the Alexa Kingdom was alive.

For now, Princess Darlene cannot escape Constantine's kingdom, unless she can recover from this disgusting disease. Come to think of it, his father, prime minister Gregori, was cruel.

He made Princess Darlene suffer from poisoning. Princess Darlene was supposed to die while being held captive in the slave trader's headquarters.

"She has a strong body defense. She can survive the poison in her body. But can he survive the poison? How long can she survive?"_

Prince Lexius was shocked by his thoughts. Why does he admire and worry about the daughter of his father's enemy?

"You are in the palace of courtesans and mistresses of royal officials!" Said the brown haired woman with a cynical face

"WHAT?!" Clara Diana was surprised.

"HA HA HA!" The woman's laughter filled the dungeon.

This underground room was a place to hide women who would become prostitutes or mistresses for officials.

Clara Diana looked at her black fingers. "Gosh. This mud mask has faded. I can't expose my face!"_ Clara Diana covered her face with a scarf. She would prefer if other people suspected her face was disfigured, making it easier for her to investigate this kingdom.

Clara Diana glanced at the four women sitting on the sofa. The women are busy. People clean their nails, comb their hair, and apply nail polish.

"What do you see!" The blonde woman grumbled. Clara Diana lowered her face. Pretend to be a fool.

"This woman... apart from being ugly, she is also stupid!" Said the brown haired woman.

"She's disgusting! She makes this cell smell bad. I don't want him in the same room as us!" The black-haired woman grumbled.

"Guardians. Get Rid of These Ugly Creatures!" The black-haired woman shouted at the female guard passing by. The female guard snorted, she walked away from them.

"Damn it! Watch out. Don't you know that we are royal assets!" the black-haired woman was annoyed.

"No need to shout. Noisy!" Said the brown haired woman.

"Lazy slave, clean the floor!" the black-haired woman poured out her anger on Clara Diana.
