"You will sell for a good price, won't you? Hehehe." A scar-faced man said while looking at a beautiful little girl that seems at the age of 12-13.
The man had a sadistic grin on his face as he threw the beautiful girl in the carriage filled with other similar aged children before moving.
While all this was happening, the girl didn't say anything. She only looked at the man with a frightened and timid expression though hidden behind that façade was a scared but also confident girl. 'I will escape soon.' The girl thought silently while wearily sitting down and examining the carriage around her.
In the carriage she was loaded on was several other slaves with collars around their necks who similarly had frightened looks as they watched the scar-faced man.
The girl didn't mind them much as she was thinking of ways to escape; however, her scared mind, although a little clear, still held her from thinking of many ways of escaping. After a day of thinking, the girl came up with only one approach that might work, which is 'I will create a commotion and run away while the slave trader is busy solving it.'
On the surface, this plan seemed feasible and could work. Hence, the girl decided to use it, but unfortunately for the young naïve girl, the slave trader, although looked dumb, was actually pretty cautious ao he made sure to put a slave collar on her.
The girl didn't know the function of this collar and thought that it was to mark her as a slave, but the girl didn't know that the slave collar was actually designed to track slaves that have it around their necks and that's why it is called a slave or prisoner collar.
The girl commenced her plan and made a small commotion by sneakily using the food that the scar-faced man gave her to eat as a way to attract beasts to their position.
It took the girl a whole week to be able to lure a beast to their position successfully. As she planned, the girl used the opportunity the slave trader gave her as he fought the creature and the other slaves being distracted by the fight to sneak away from the carriage.
The girl thought her plan was full proof and that she will succeed, but she never asked herself these questions, 'Why don't anyone talk to each other in the carriage? It had been almost two weeks since I have been with them, but they never talked to each other at all. And why is the transport open in a way that if someone can take the scar-faced man off guard, he can probably knock him out and run away?'
These insignificant-looking details, among others, are what got the little girl in the end.
The girl didn't know any of the slaves in the carriage, so she didn't let anyone in on the plan, so when she ran away, she left alone.
The girl kept running into the woods where the carriage stopped as fast as she could, hoping to lose any sight of the slave trader. The girl kept running for several hours nonstop before thinking that she had lost the scar-faced man a long time ago. Stopping so she can take a break; the girl found herself a random tree where she sat so she could catch her breath.
The girl, relieved and relaxed, started smiling at her genius, while the girl was thinking of how awesome she was, the girl suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from near her.
While the girl was searching at the origin of the sound, she heard a voice that made her almost scream from fright, and the voice even came from the same place she heard the sound previously.
"You have been a naughty girl; you made me search after your trail all this time. How are you going to compensate me for that?" Followed by the voice were the footsteps and the appearance of none other than the scar-faced man. He stared at the little girl with a mocking and sadistic look while a small tent was forming between his legs showing how his lust is rising.
"Little girl you have given me so much trouble, how about you help to relieve me as compensation." The scar-faced man spoke as he looked at the little girl with a vicious look. The man started nearing the little girl before remembering something and saying, "Damn it if I wasn't worried about your price going down…" The man didn't continue thinking and started suppressing his urges.
The girl had been scared ever since the scar-faced man came and the way he looked at her gave her the creeps, the little girl was only able to calm down after hearing his last words.
The now annoyed scar-faced man came closer to the girl as he pulled her hair ruffly while dragging her through the ground as if to at least teach her a lesson for wasting his time and because he isn't able to enjoy himself.
The little girl, although felt pain, didn't let out a whimper unless she antagonized the slave trader, giving her a fate worse than death. The little girl knew that her beauty was exceptional, but she wasn't a narcissist who cared about that same beauty is what landed her in her situation and even almost got her raped.
After several hours
The scar-faced man came back to the open carriage and found that no one had escaped, he saw the despair on their faces as he thought 'Well, of course, they wouldn't escape knowing that I can track them down. Only some ignorant like this girl would actually try escaping while having a slave collar around their neck.'
The slave trader didn't even look as he threw the little trouble maker into the carriage, making her land face down, but even so, the little girl didn't utter a sound which pleased the slave trader greatly. 'It seems she had learned her lesson. I think I might be able to get a good amount of Mana stones if I sell her to that person, he would surely like her….' The slave trader drifted with his thoughts for a while before hopping into the driver seat and starting to move towards the destination he was going to.
A few days later
A slave filled carriage approached a town. This town looked bustling and filled with all kinds of businesses, but the weird thing is that no one paid attention to the wagon filled with slaves, some only gave it a cursory glance but nothing more, this showed that slave trading in this place is the norm and it is a good business at that.
The little girl looked around her in the town. Still, one look made her Blanche as she saw many other slave carriages and even slave auctions being held in this place, some of these slaves had ragged clothes, some were naked, while others were at least wearing some regular commoner clothes. Though, there were a variety of slaves, with some of them even being elves, humans, beastmen, and other creatures, what the little girl had noticed and what truly frightened her was the blank and empty look in their eyes as if they had already given up on their lives.
The carriage kept moving in the town for at least 15 minutes before stopping at an auction house, which looked a notch above the other slave selling establishments in the city.
"let's go. You will soon find yourselves some new masters, be sure to treat them well." The slave trader said as he hopped from the carriage while gesturing for the other slaves to move. At that moment, the slaves that were completely obedient and quiet didn't answer or comply with the scar-faced man's demands as hesitating expressions appeared on their faces, for they knew that once they got bought, there was no going back.
"I said, MOVE." Hearing the slave trader's shout, the slaves no longer hesitated, they resigned themselves to their inevitable fate before leaving the carriage in order. Even the defiant and scared little girl didn't resist as she knew that any resistance was futile, for it will only land her in more trouble.
With a sophisticated and unwilling look in her eyes, the scared little girl descended from the carriage and entered the auction house.
When the slaves entered the auction house, it seemed as if someone was expecting them for they were directly moved into a stage where they were lined up while an auctioneer who was an old man with a gruff voice, was starting the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our next products are ready to be sold. So let's not waste any time and get this over with."The auctioneer started in a loud voice.
"Old Li, come on, start this already; we have waited for long."An excited looking young master yelled to the auctioneer old Li in a familiar way, which made it seem they knew each other.
Old Li didn't waste any more time with words as he started auctioning the product, which actually sold for a large amount of Mana Stones.
Before long, the beautiful girl's turn to be auctioned had arrived, and since she was the most beautiful, she was also the last one to be sold.
Old Li started bullshi*ing about the girl's background to make her seem more enticing before giving a starting price.
Just as people were about to start bidding on the girl, a beautiful voice of a young man from the VIP area was heard, which shut all the surrounding people up, as the number he bid was more than all the slaves that were just sold combined. The man didn't even let the people have hope to try and obtain such a beautiful product before crushing their thoughts with a single sentence.
"Room 1 bids 1 million fire affinity medium grade Mana Stone." The man's sentence made the whole auction hall quiet as no one had anything that can top this amount of Mana Stones.
