"its as you said before liliana this man is really excellent ,strength aside his skills are really on another level and even so he is still look to me as if he was holding back , and if that's really the case what could he really do if he had both hands and learn how to use mana as well "(scarlet)
"that's not all lady scarlet, you might have realised that most of those he is fighting with are skilled some are even outstanding, this is also because he taught them as i heard from some warriors here "(liliana)
scarlet and liliana had a conversation as they were watching leo's matches from a high point in the colosseum.
"so he is both talented as a warrior and an instructor ,there is also his strong moral and willpower,He would sure be a nice a addition to our army what do you think liliana"(scarlet)
"I don't think anything is wrong with your thoughts lady"(liliana)
"then please make it so that we can met after his colosseum fights end today"(scarlet)
"as you order my lady"(liliana)
--------------------------------------------
"Ahhh, another day had passed."
i said as i stretched my hand and yawned walking in bated steps to my prison cell while being cuffed in the legs by a chain.
some prisoners in their cell greeted me as I walked through them ,expressed their graduating towards me, i also greeted them.
this happened all the way until i reached my cell.
the prison guard james ,who brought me here took a key from his pocket.
then put the key in the keyhole in the door of cell then.
then the door was opened as he asked me to enter in a somehow respectful way.
Almost everyone in the Colosseum these days, be it a guard, a staff, gladiators, or prisoners, speaks to me in a polite tone, despite the fact that I was a slave.
As I lay down on the bed inside my cell to sleep a little, I frowned when I discovered that the door to my cell was open and the james was still there, so I asked.
"How come you're still here and you didn't shut the door?"
"I heard from my seniors that someone important is coming to see you today, Mr. Leo."
"who?"
"Please wait a moment and you will see"
"Okay, I won't make your life any more difficult by asking more questions, thank you for answering me james."
"Thank you for your understanding, MR.leo"
As I i was thinking who might come here to see me, I couldn't help but think of someone.
'I have been here for more than three months and none of those big guys who live in this city came to visit me during that time, so the only one who could come right now is someone new here, like the duke who came today to the city as i heard from doom before, he also said that he came to an agreement with her so they can get rid of keith without putting our hands on it, i might not care about keith's life and death although he deserves it but atleast if she can get rid of him cleanly ,my burden will be lessened after that i can either run away or wait for someone to buy me and work until i get rid of the burden of slavery'
The sound of several footsteps approaching my prison cell interrupted my thoughts.
I also noticed the james saluting solemnly in the direction of the footsteps.
then sound suddenly was cut off.
and before i realise it a Shade of darkness cover me in its colors
When I looked up i saw a beautiful lady in a full body white robe with her lower face and long red hair hidden by a vei.
even though the veil showed a little bit of hair outside it, When I saw her, the word "beautiful" came to my mind.
Although, since moving to this world, I've realised that the beauty of people here can be said to exceed the earthling's people's beauty although that thats Only before the gene modification potion , since as long as the synergise rate grows, it can not only increase lifespan but also make people more handsome for men and beautiful for women. even I became more handsome than before but not by much.
Despite my thoughts about the woman in front of me, I wasn't really enchanted by her beauty as I looked at her for a moment then closed my eyes to take a rest since i found that she didn't start the conversation.
When I closed my eyes, the sound of a feminine laugh rang in the prison, though it was not very loud, and it forced me to open my eyes.
"Do you see that liliana, that man closed his eye after seeing me and he was trying to sleep it's hilarious,"
the red hair woman said to the maid-looking girl beside her as she continued to laugh.
"Please mind your manners, lady." the maid said as her body was trembling slightly.
"Ah sorry, I couldn't help but laugh,but you are not different from me why are you laughing?"(scarlet)
"pfft,sorry master,looking at your situation right now, I couldn't help but laugh as well, just when you were about to start a glaring contest with him,he gave you a bored look then closed his eye to sleep,that made me unable to hold myself from laughing pf hhhh"(liliana)
"so you thought so too pfthhha Just thinking about the look in his eyes at that time made me laugh again hahaha,its been a long time since I laughed like that,this man is interesting as you said"(scarlet)
Looking at the duo maid and her master laughing in front of him, Leo was speechless for a moment.
As if she realised I was looking at her, she looked into my eyes and said, "hello MR.leo, I have heard a lot about you before coming here, my name is Scarlet, and it's nice to meet you."(scarlet)
Seeing as she had already introduced herself, I could only do the same, "my name is Leo, and it's nice to meet you as well, Lady Duke."(leo)
"Oh, you know who I am."(scarlet)
"I've heard of you before, but this is my first i am seeing you."(leo)
"Then, Mr. Leo, could you please answer a few questions for me?"(scarlet)
"I will answer your question as long as they are not too private."(leo)
"then, Mr. Leo, I'd like to ask you why you're defending those prisoners."(scarlet)
"a policy of mine that implies saving those who I can see and i can save" (leo)
"How can you save them while you're in prison?"(scarlet)
"by staying alive until I found a solution,but that is no longer necessary now that you made the deal with doom" (leo)
"you know about my deal with doom ?"although scarlet was taken aback for a moment she quickly accept this truth.
"he only told me what I can hear not the details as it seems he can't talk because he is in a contract with you "(leo)
"don't you want to know what the deal is about if you want you only need to sign a contract with me "(scarlet)
"unnecessary, i don't care as long as those people can survive, i don't mind,"(leo)
"don't you hold a grudge against keith why are you so calm,"scarlet said as she though'is this man a rock or a saint does he really not hold grudges'
"I would be lying if I said I never considered killing him at times when I was running out of willpower, but after calming down, although i still hate him, my grudge against him is not that big, It's not that I don't want him to die after all he has done, how many people did he make suffer, torture, break, and kill but even so i don't know every time i saw him i felt that i should feel pity towards him, these feeling made me want to throw up several times, how can I feel such a feelings towards such a scum ,ah sorry I talked a lot without realising"(leo)
when leo finished his talk, he noticed they were looking at him in an odd way
"Are you sure Doom hadn't told you anything about our contract,no don't answer that ,if he had done so, I would have already known and I would have also heard that he died or was severely injured, but how can you reach such a conclusion without knowing anything do you perhaps have the ability to empathy with people around you?"(scarlet)
"Of course not what have brought you to such a conclusion."(leo)
"master, this person seems to have some kind of intuition skill" (liliana)
"yeah, that's the only answer"(scarlet)
as I watched them talking, I couldn't help but interrupt them
"what are you talking about? what's a skill?"leo said as he though' are they talking about skills like in games?'
"Do you not know what a skill is? But now is not the time to talk about this ; instead, I'd like to a proposal to you."(scarlet)
"what?"(leo)
"I'll buy you and set you free, but you must join my army, what do you think?"(scarlet)
"I refuse!"(leo)
"why?"(scarlet)
"Why are you asking'why' when you already know the answer?"(leo)
"Sorry, I was just testing you; I couldn't believe people like you still exist ,who would suffer all what you have been through for people they don't even know."scarlet said as she though'yes this man is not a rock nor is he a saint as well but he only have a very strong Conviction'
"since you know don't ask,If you had asked me after you killed Keith, I might have thought of it since you seems to be a nice person, at least i.Think so, and my instincts rarely fail me " as leo said that he took a breath then continue,
"but now if I agreed, everything I've been doing for the last three months would have been for naught ,the moment I leave this colosseum, that man will bring someone to replace me, and he will kill all those who I tried to save."(leo)
"does that mean you'll join me as long as I invite you?"(scarlet)
" I have nothing to lose by doing that, so why not?" (leo)
"then I look forward to working with you later, comrade leo."(scarlet)
"Well, I'm also looking forward to that day."(leo)
As they finished thier conversation, scarlet stepped out of the cell and said, "See you later, Leo,"(scarlet)
before being escorted by her maid and a guard to the outside of the prison.
Only then did the james close my cell while he was a little bit bewildered as he didn't hear our conversation even though our lips were moving.
'it seems she put some kind of sound barrier before we talked, is that also magic or some kind of device' as I thought of that, I felt my eyelids grow heavier as I felt sleepy .
"no use thinking about something you don't know anything about i should rather go to sleep i am very tired " (leo)
as I said that, I yawned, covered myself with a cloth, and slept like a log
