Chapter 98
···Sleep·
Levy turned her back and took off her clothes ·
Lee Han flinched…
I wasn’t surprised that she suddenly took off her clothes ·
Just behind her back…
“Do you see it?”
“…When it comes to tattoos noble ladies these days are extreme…”
“Hehe you know it’s not like that…”
“Keuhum…”
I try to clear my throat…
It was an unspoken signal that she didn’t have to say anything but she firmly…
“It’s a slave imprint… and it’s kind of terrible…”
Spit out a terrible truth…
“····”
“I am Master. I have no parents. I am literally an orphan.”
She put her clothes back on and Lee Han smiled bitterly.
“Why are you making a fuss by taking your clothes off when you can just say it?”
“It is better to show once than to explain hundreds of times. This is what Master often says.”
“···Anyway this damn honor student…”
“I’ll consider it a compliment…”
Levy spoke particularly well today.
She thinks this may be the first time she has spoken so well in front of others without hesitation or trepidation.
She had always been shy but now that she had revealed all her secrets she felt like she could tell him everything without hiding anything ·
So Levi became even more outspoken…
“I am a slave. I was sold to the Folt family about five years ago.”
She revealed her greatest weakness and her secret ·
“····”
···He just listened to himself with silent gaze…
It’s as if it has nothing to do with her being a slave…
He still does not see Levy as a ‘slave’ but only treats her as ‘her student’ and a ‘girl’ ·
I’m crying!
‘···Phew really that person…’
He must be a kind person…
‘If it were other people I would have been shocked or felt betrayed… but you are such a good teacher that it is too much for me…’
Levy held back from crying again…
Crying is because it is never too late to reveal everything that has been hidden until now…
“···I am not from Pendragon but from Britain… No matter what background I am from I wonder what importance it has to a slave…”
She was a war orphan from the beginning.
Britain has long been at loggerheads with the Empire and the Pendragon sparking countless wars.
Perhaps for this reason war orphans were more common than street rats in Britain and Levi could be seen as a case in which he lost his parents at some point and became a war orphan.
And Levy was caught by the ‘slave top’.
Although it is known that most slave trades have been banned it is a public fact that slave trades still exist.
So even Levi being kidnapped and becoming a slave wasn’t particularly unfortunate or harsh.
···This is the life of a child who has no parents and is powerless most of the time…
“I don’t know if it’s a fortunate thing but for an orphan I had a fair complexion and even my hair was a rare color like that of nobles. Thanks to that I was classified as ‘top quality’ and I received a lot of education. There were quite a few people who wanted high-class slaves… No it was overflowing that’s what the merchant said at the time.”
I don’t know if it was bad luck or luck but she was pretty.
And the pretty woman was ‘in demand’ her slaver said and her slaver taught her how to write and the manners of her nobles ·
Her aptitude for learning was not bad and the slave trader was even more delighted when he found out that she was brilliant.
‘I can sell it more expensively!’
-This is what the slave trader used to say to himself.
“I wasn’t happy at all…”
··· This happened while she was being trained to be her high-class slave ···
A war broke out between Pendragon and Britain and the slave trader was unfortunately caught up in the war and died.
Of course it was bad luck for her slave trader but she was lucky for her.
Because she got a chance to run away ·
But somehow she-·
“I didn’t know that there would be trouble because I was a high-class slave.”
[Imprint of Obedience]·
It was the identity of the slave imprint engraved on her back and it was the imprint that a slave trader had engraved on her directly after visiting her illegal wizard.
This imprint was like a kind of witchcraft a nightmare-like curse that could never be erased by any means.
It was the result of the slave merchant’s efforts to prevent the high-class slave from escaping and as a result she was once again taken over by a merchant who had absorbed the slave merchant’s organization.
And the merchant took her…
“I sold it to Pendragon. Since it was a war everything that could be exchanged for money was sold. I was also sold at a low price.”
Ten silver coins·
That was her ransom…
“The place where I was sold…”
“Was it a fault?”
“···yes·”
“Where did they buy you because they had the money?”
“I think it may have been borrowed… It’s a guess but it must have been an investment concept. That man probably started from the beginning…”
I think they were thinking of selling me back…
– You are our daughter from today· Levi Folt Please give me this name· Haha!
The day she was sold her Folt family gave her her first and last name and accepted her as their own.
She sees herself as nothing more than a slave ·
So Levy was moved.
Ah a day like this is finally coming for me. The miraculous luck that comes from fairy tales has come to me too!
She was really happy·
however·
-Why is growth so slow? Please grow up quickly!
There was no other reason why Reynold Folt took a slave as her daughter ·
In order to ‘sell’
In order to marry off to a great noble or a rich merchant…
Yes he bought it because he saw it and felt it was worth the investment.
Folt family·
This family really had no answer…
Still dreaming of a resurgence as a knightly family he raised his daughter who would become his successor with respect but prepared a ‘sacrifice’ to get her married… to extract money…
A family without an answer that never tries to make a comeback in a different way or through efforts.
They can’t help but be a family of ghosts…
Levi wanted to run away from their madness and incompetence.
Because it was obvious what my fate would be…
I was looking for an opportunity to run away or report something but…
– You’d better not even dream of running away.
Because of the imprint of obedience she could not do anything.
Because she was a subordinate being and could not disobey her master’s orders.
There are three main orders she received:
One · She cannot reveal to others that she is a slave ·
Two you cannot do anything that will cause damage to the fault family.
Three: You must be obedient to the Fault family.
These commands were engraved on her like her brand so she
“No matter how disgusting it is you have no choice but to be obedient to them.”
The guild member who harassed him the day before…
The reason why she suddenly became cooperative when the guild member threatened her mother and younger brother was not because she harbored any ill will or because the mother and daughter treated her well.
“Because you have to be obedient to that mother and daughter…”
It’s truly a curse…
There was no such thing as freedom in her life and only an oppressed and terrible life seemed to always be by her side.
…horribly…
“… But ironically I wanted to be recognized as family by them… It was my first time having a family so… I really tried my best…”
effort·
Efforts that Lee Han described as blind…
Through such efforts she wanted to prove herself…
If you really try your best won’t they someday recognize you?
If you make an achievement that will bring glory to your family and look forward to the results maybe…!
“I think I dreamed of a ‘fantasy’ like a really immature girl thinking that maybe I would be accepted as a family member…”
“····”
“Hehe I’m really foolish and stupid right?”
She asked back·
He too was sick of my foolishness and closed her eyes tightly thinking that her expression had hardened.
She was scared to even hear the answer from him…
“-No on the contrary I am so proud of you… that I want to hug you for your hard work…”
“····”
“You worked hard… you really worked hard…”
···He just gave the same friendly gaze…
He wasn’t feeling sorry ·
I am truly proud of you…
It was amazing that she overcame that difficult time and I could only feel her heart.
“···ah·”
Levy was dazed for a moment…
In the meantime she lived a life where she was always anxious about what kind of reaction she would have if she revealed her secret and whether they would despise her.
But now…
…There was a person in front of her who accepted her just as she was and Levy’s whole body trembled.
“Well it wouldn’t be nice to be hugged by a guy like this but even if you think it’s bullshit…”
Wow!
“····”
“···Ugh·”
“…Okay cry… I’ll lend you as much of my arms as I want…”
“Huh! “Huh!”
“Yes shouting this loudly is like crying. That’s how you feel relieved.”
Levy ran as fast as she could and hugged him.
And at the same time I hated him…
Why did it appear now?
When she needed herself when she needed her so much why couldn’t she meet someone like this?
19 painful and tiring years…
Levy cried bitterly as she finally met her ‘family’ who truly cared for her.
Unlike the previous day it was not quiet but loud…
She cried so sadly ·
“···It’s okay it’s okay…”
Lee Han patted her back gently.
Warmly…
