" But the both of them are useful. Though Abby does not Excel in her academics, but she is still good at planting and helping out with the house chores. Also, do not forget that she had been the one to solve most of our land problems on the farm, and she also makes very good wine, which we drink and sell," said Mr Lim in a bit to try and support on why they should keep their daughter. Although he didn't like Abby, he still didn't want to lose any of his daughters, and especially not to the king, who knows what kind of horrors they would face in that palace as slaves.
" Yes, she is a bit useful, but I also know that Anna is more useful than her, and if we gave Anna, Abby's duties, she would definitely be able to do them ten times better than that little idiot," Mrs Lim said, then she continued talking," And since Anna is our precious daughter that has only been good to us without demanding anything, well there is no way we are taking her for slavery. It's either you let that worthless piece of trash go or you pay the money," Mrs Lim said, with eyes that says she has no more room for negotiation.
" Please, don't be like this, fine! Abby it is. Abby would go," Mr Lim said dejectedly.
" Oh great! I am so happy. My precious little pumpkin would finally be at ease, and can patiently wait for her suitor," Mrs Lim said, almost like she had just heard the greatest news in the world.
" But why must you hate Abby so much, she is still your daughter for crying out loud," Mr Lim said.
As those words left his mouth and flew into her ears, he happy mood suddenly turned sour," That little wretch is not my daughter! My parents died while coming over to see her. We lost so much money because of that stupid event for rich nerds that she wanted to go to, and because of that we find it difficult to put food on our table. And last but not least! Even after the dumb event, she had never brought back a badge level that is higher than an earth badge! What a waste of the word daughter!" Mrs Lim had already entered into a rage mode, it seemed like she was going to explode and burn everyone and everything along with her.
" But honey, those are all in the past, why must you hold on to such terrible memories?" Mr Lim said with a bit of concern pasted in his voice. It seemed he felt like something was wrong with his wife.
" I do not care, she is going to be the one taken, and not Anna, she is a wretched child that only deserves to be used as a slave, even if she becomes a fucking sex slave, then that all right by me!"
" But ho-"
" Don't you dare call me that! I am not in the mood to talk to you anymore, get Abby ready to be a slave, for I care of nothing more than for that girl to just leave," Mrs Lim said, as he turned her back and laid on the bed.
" Good night," Said Mr Lim, as he shook his head in dismay.
Abby and Anna's room
Abby is seen crying her eyes out after the conversation she just had with her parents, along with the way Anna was taunting her this afternoon.
The just couldn't believe all this was happening. Why did it have to be her, why her of all people in the world, why does the world hate her so much?
She couldn't believe she was actually slapped, and was then abused to the point where her self-esteem was actually on the verge of breaking.
" Why are you crying like a new-born child? It's not like you're hearing those words for the first time, neither is it your first time getting an earth badge," Anna said, as she walked into the room and began mocking her older sister again," well it's not your fault you worthless little trash, it's just that God didn't give you the long end of the stick, he gave you the short one, the really short one,"
" At least I'm a thousand times better than you," Abby said, as she wiped off the tears that riddle her face.
" Better than me? Ha! In what way are you better than me?" Anna said with a mocking exppression that says you're a fool.( A/N: readers, don't be offended, she probably didn't mean you anyways).
" At least I don't go around shaking my hips and letting any freaking professor that would be in charge of giving the results and badges have sex with me in exchange for a good badge. Mr Collins seemed to have enjoyed your whore-like pussy very much." Abby said with a disgusted exppression, as she spat on the ground in sheer annoyance.
" It's just such a shame that even if I go to tell them about it they wouldn't believe a word of mine, what a truly precious daughter you are,"
Hearing those words, Anna's face became as pale as that of a ghost! It seemed as if she was going to faint," H- ho- how did you know, who told you?!".
" No one told me, I found out myself. There's no way I would have believed that such a bimbo as you would have passed that test fair and square. It's just impossible!" Abby said with a sinister smile.
" How did you find out?" Anna became fearful. If Abby could find out, what of other people also hear about this? Her whole world would crumble into the ground and she would be addressed as an Ashawo(whore).
" I decided to follow you once when I saw you around Mr Huddson, who coincidentally enough was the one who was going to be marking the test result. From there I heard moans, and I began to piece everything together. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Everyone would eventually find out one day," Abby said, as she got into her bed, as closed her eyes ready to sleep and wake up the next day.
Anna on the other hand was beginning to panic!
...
The next morning, while the family was having dinner silently, they heard a knock on the door.
" Who is it?" Mrs Lim asked inquisitively.
"It is us, the royal guards of Aldoria, we are here to see Mr Richard Lim, the king has summoned for him.
