It's been five years since I arrived here in this world of magic and chaos. I was sold as a slave to the Marquis family. In the beginning, the Marquis showed me compassion, but soon that compassion turned into something else, something I wouldn't have dreamt of.
They tortured me every day—whipping me, throwing me into boiling water and then healing me, tying me to horses and dragging me all over their estate, and worst of all, using me as a sex doll they sold me as sex slave to those nasty nobles.No one tried to help; even if they did, they knew the same thing would happen, as it happened during the second year. The only person who showed me compassion in this hell was killed. They set an example for others: if they tried to help me, they would meet the same end.
And even today, the youngest daughter is here again to have fun. This family, they are not human; they are monsters. Calling them monsters is an insult to monsters. Calling them devils would be more appropriate. These people have no shred of compassion or humanity in them. They buy slaves and kill them for fun. In these five years, I'm the only one who has survived so far.
"Level up, you have reached the maximum level required to use magic." This useless status window. After all those years, and now you're telling me I can use magic? And the magic I can use consists of all useless spells. What am I supposed to do with this growth amplifier? It's at level 1. All the other spells are useless too: levitating, spirit summoning, taming monsters. The only spell that is useful and good is locked. Why is it locked? You damn status window. Just you wait; when I unlock this spell, I'll find out who gave me this cursed status and made my life a living hell.
Splash! Again, she throws me into the lake. How is she not tired of doing this petty trick?
Oh my! I didn't see you there. I thought you were just trash standing here. Wait, you are trash. Ahahaha.
Greetings to you, my lady. How was your vacation? I asked her in a low voice. Though she was merciless, she didn't care how I spoke to her.
"Why do you care? You're just a slave and I'm here to have some fun with you. It's been a while since I took you with me." Her eyes were filled with lust. I don't understand why, in this world, they have a secondary gender aside from what they were born with.
"Follow me," she commands me. Whenever she uses that voice, I can't refuse her. I have no choice but to resign myself to this cruel fate. We walked back to the main house when the butler stopped us in our tracks.
"My lady, the Marquis is calling for you. And you too."
"Where is my father?"
"The Lord is in his study."
As always, the way to the Marquis's office is horrendous. How can it not be when they have put the heads of all the beastmen they hunted over the years? Most of all, their most treasured trophy is the head of a high elf. How can they display something like this in the hallway?
"You called for me, Father?"
"Yes, I did. Come and sit, and you come here."
The Marquis's study still terrifies me. The dark black furniture, those blood-red curtains, and the shapeshifter he always has chained by his desk. He spoke in a clear voice, laced with coldness—a voice that means business, even if the person standing in front of him is his daughter.
"Celina, it's time for you to fulfill your duty as the Marquis's daughter. I want you to marry the crown prince."
"But the crown prince is cursed. Why do you want me to marry him? Can't somebody else do it?"
"Celina Luciano it is your duty to the Luciano family to marry whoever I choose for you, whether it's the cursed crown prince or a commoner. You simply have to follow my orders. It's in your best interest to obey me, or else it won't be good for you. His Highness is coming to our estate in a few days. Be on your best behavior and make him like you. You can leave now."
"Yes, Father."
She left me behind. What could she do in front of this monster who never show compassion or love while talking to his only daughter? He's still heartless, even after losing his wife. He didn't even mourn for her. That poor woman loved him and died in vain. That man was always having affairs with different women, every day until the day the Marquess died or was killed nobody knows about what the Marquis did. This is a secret only I know: nobody knows that the one who killed the Marquess was the Marquis himself. He killed her just to have her territory that was in her name. Her family estate he even killed her last remaining family. This man is the true embodiment of evil.
Before I knew it, I was thrown onto the couch I knew what it meant. He told me to stay. That man can't keep his thing inside his pants. It hurts every time he does it, and why does he also have to use his shapeshifter? That jerk likes to get off while making us do it. I don't understand how I haven't gotten pregnant with all the things he has done to me.
"Hello, can you hear us?" What the? What are these things floating in the air? Can't anyone else see them, or is it just me?
"Hello, can you hear us? We're here to help you. We finally found you."
"Help me," I said sarcastically. "You're saying you're going to help me after I've been in this hell for five years? Go away. I don't need your help, which you're offering like it's charity."
"But we can help you. We are spirits. We have been with you since you arrived here, but since you couldn't see us, we couldn't do anything for you. We tried to help, but there's only so much we can do without a master."
"Make a contract with us, and we'll teach you how to use magic. Your platinum hair is a sign that you possess a great amount of mana no one here knows what it mean to platinum hair. Only the race who are high in intelligence knows what it means. Sign the contract with us, and we'll help with everything we can that falls within our jurisdiction."
"Fine, tell me how to do it and get me out of this situation."
"In union. State your name and give us a name."
"The contractor's name is Riona, and from now on, your names will be… wait, what type of spirits are you?"
"We are the water and ice spirits."
"Then from now on, your names will be Lynn and Lumi."
"We have received our names, and the contract is sealed. Now, master, let us help you."
It all happened so quickly I couldn't even process what happened; that shapeshifter just died in front of me. I knew it was Lynn and Lumi who did it, and man, I was proud of them for killing that monster. For the first time in all those years, I felt happy.
To be continued.
