章節 4: A master plan (pt.1)
"Eh, so what should I call you? Ahem, I mean what would you prefer to be called by this hero, your highness?" Am I a sadist? I'm really enjoying this one sided fight of words, and the best thing is, she can't reply even if she wasn't to. Because I have a «knife» pointed at her neck. I have to be pretty careful with this, because if she notices that it's not a knife, she will definitely fight back despite the fact that the rules say she shouldn't. And I have no chance in a fair fight against her.. yet.
Don't you worry though, I have a great plan to get stronger very fast. That's what I need a slave and some money for.
~~~
We suddenly stopped, and I nearly tripped on a stone. I have to be more careful, if I fell here she would have taken the chance to attack me.
It was a large door, guarded by two buff guys, which seemed rather unfitting, considering that we are currently in a basement.
By basement I mean a stone corridor court out to toe underground, and with each step down the stairs you feel the already humid air around you to get more dense. Behind the door, I smell some blood and hear what sounds like a cry.
That's definitely the slave room.
The princess put up her right hand, I think that's a sight for them to open the door, but I'm gonna watch my back just in case.
Now that I think of it, isn't it a bit odd for a princess to have a slave room so close to her, and even be familiar the guards?
She is definitely one of those people that like to torture them.
I think radiated some kind of aggression towards her, because she started shivering again.
If I didn't mention it yet, people have «auras» in this world, which reflect one's thoughts and feelings. Although if you are skilled, you can hide it, just like the princess is doing right now.
The unpleasant reek of blood got a lot stronger as I entered the room, but I need to get used to it. If I want to be good at fighting, I need to be able to ignore things such as the smell of blood, otherwise I might just get distracted and die.
The whole place is dim, illuminated by just a few candles here and there. It's kind of like a wide corridor, about 5 meters wide and 3 meters tall, and 2 rows of cages are stacked on top of each other along both the right and left wall. In the middle is a carpet, supposedly for a customer or the princess, so that it's easier to chose a slave. This kind of layout allows you to observe every slave there is at once.
~~~
I look around each cage, and notice something. Whenever the princess looks at them, the shift back as far as possible in the cage, confirming my theory that the princess is sadistic.
After about 5 minutes of looking around I find one that completely ignores everything. An.. elf? No.
It's definitely not an elf, because her hair color is completely white, although currently some parts of it look more brown because it's soaked in mud and blood.
It's a human girl, yet she has sharp years, probably a product of mating between 2 different races. A pity.
On each cage, there is a sheet of metal that shows their age, name, status, and race.

Pain resistance S-
Haha.
I see, so she decided not to spend any of her skill points, because otherwise, she would become stronger, and therefore a better toy for this sadistic princess. And her level is perfect.
As an added bonus, she also looks great, even though she is treated so poorly. Give her a bit of food and you have a top tier model, at least with earth standards.
Not gonna lie though, isn't Lime a really weird name, it's almost the same as calling someone a lemon. Oh well, I still think that she is perfect for what I have planned, and once she's done what I need her to do, she can become my personal assistant in the boring stuff.
I tap on the cage a few times, to see if I can get any sort of reaction from her, but it almost feels like am attempting a conversation with a rock.
I suppose it's fine though, all I have to do is get her mental state fixed up a little.
~~~
"Yo, princess, I want this one." I say as I point a finger at Lime.
"Oh, and also, I want that golden ring you have on your finger."
