A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover

.

In fact, this is the most common.

But in reality, there is a third type.

It ’s an open secret; there are ways to buy and sell kidnapped people behind the scenes.

Although every country is cracking down on this, it is only a façade.

The nobles ’ auctions are proof of this.

”Slaves nowadays are very different. ”

In the departing carriage, Soara ’s figure could be seen.

Wait! Wait!

Stop that carriage!

”This kind of deal is impossible.
You have to go to a slave market first. ”

”I ’ll give you 10 million. ”

”B…
But… ”

”20 million. ”

”…Sold. ”

Negotiations have been concluded.

The slave trader immediately accepted my offer.

He opened the cage and Soara came out of it handcuffed.

She is not the same since I left; she now wears rags and her once beautiful hair has become dirty.

For a moment, I couldn ’t believe it was Soara.

”…Toru? ”

”Yes, it ’s me. ”

”What a coincidence…
To see you here again… ”

I find it hard to look directly at her, knowing that I had known her for many years, and now she looks like this.

Crank crank The carriage began to move.

Soara did not receive a master-slave contract because she wasn ’t bought at a slave market.

However, she has a collar around her neck.

”Sorry for this next part. ”

”I am your slave.
Do with me as you will. ”

I poured a bottle of liquid over her head.

Soara ’s body glowed a vague pink color.

No doubt about it.
She has been brainwashed too.

I wiped the liquid with a towel, and removed the handcuffs with a wire.

”How did you become a slave…? ”

”I was abandoned by Sain.
He met with a high-ranking priest, and sold me to him, saying I was no longer of any use to him. ”

”Bastard. ”

He dared to sell Soara, his childhood friend?

I knelt at the same time as I was stunned.

I was having a hard time processing reality.

”Master! Keep calm! ”

”Get a grip! You can ’t keep running away from reality! ”

Kaede hugs me and uses healing vibrations on me.

At the same time, Frau slaps me in the face several times.

Frau, I ’m glad you ’re trying to help me, but stop.

I appreciate the way you care about me.

If I were alone, I would have lost my mind by now.

I would have been swallowed by anger and sadness.

I managed to get up and grabbed Soara by the arm.

”Come with me. ”

”I am no longer worth anything.
Do what you want with me until you are satisfied. ”

“ …………”

I gritted my teeth as hard as I could to keep the tears from flowing.

I was being strong as I tugged desperately at her hand.

I rented a room at the city inn and put Soara to bed.

Perhaps she had worked too hard when she got here, as her body was broken.

Fortunately, she didn ’t have any life-threatening injuries like Nei, so I just gave her a potion and she regained all her beauty.

Well, she ’s still a little dirty.

”Toru is still as gentle as ever. ”

”You ’re wrong. ”

”But you ’ve helped me a lot. ”

Even as she said this, Soara ’s eyes were dark.

I am beginning to doubt that she can be freed from the brainwashing.

Will she really be able to stand it?

Nei said that Soara received more mistreatment than she did.

I ’m not sure what I should do.

I felt someone ’s hand on my shoulder.

It was Kaede ’s warm hand.

It was as if she was telling me; whatever happens, I will be here for you.

It ’s like I can feel her heart.

”Sain has brainwashed you. ”

”……Is that so? I ’ve had a vague feeling about that. ”

She had the same reaction as Nei.

It seems that she was also uncomfortable.

I took the potion I used on Nei to rid her of her spell out of my pocket.

”With this you will be able to break the brainwashing spell.
I won ’t force you to take it, it ’s up to you if you accept it. ”

”Gulp, gulp, gulp. ”

She grabbed the bottle quickly, roughly popped open the cap and downed it in one gulp.

Soara wiped her mouth with her sleeve, ”Buh-hah. ”

”Ugh!? aga! ?? ”

”Are you okay! ”

”Ugyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ”

I held her head and layed it to the side.

The same thing is happening as with Nei.

I Look to Kaede and Frau as a signal to act quickly.

But Soara got out of bed, stood up and threw the bottle out the window.

The glass shattered and I heard screams from outside the window.

”Uaaaaaaagh!!! I can ’t believe I was fooled by this stupid kid! ”

I did not expect this.

Her eyes glared at me.

It ’s like she wants to kill me.

Soara, could it be that you have been hiding your true nature all along?
