Synopsis[]
Slavery was forbidden in the Gaianes Empire but it was legal in the Six Nations Alliance of Heid. In particular, the port city of Lael has one of the biggest slave auction houses in the empire. It was called the Ladael Sh'Lael Slave Auction House. Carsan held a jingling bag and laughing happily and said haha, that's quite a generous amount, good luck, kiddo. Arin held the iron bars with his hands and said huuuh, what in the world was going on, he can't act recklessly when he has got no idea what's happening, well, mom said to let sleeping dogs lie. Arin sighed and said geez, if Rake was here, he'd explain what's up. The black-haired boy and the brown-haired boy approximately 17 years old, who appeared to be about 1 or 2 years older than Arin come to him. The brown-haird boy who was looking at Arin quietly opened his mouth. He said huh, he was wondering why they put a girl here, but upon closer inspection, it's a boy. Arin surprised and shouted who they are two. The black-haired boy said to Arin that calm down, they're in the same boat as him. The brown-haired boy said looked like he has been conned by some awful people. Arin thought som other humans have arrived here before him, they look to be around the same age as his human body, so he will be staying here with them. Arin thought if he behave like these humans, he should be okay.
The black-haired boy asks to Arin that so, how long has it been for him. Arin answered uh, how long, he mean his age, he's 300 years, he means, Rake said he should be around 20 years old. The brown-haired boy asks to Arin that huh, he meant, how long he have living as a slave, or it was his first time. Arin said uh, well, he doesn't know anything, Rake said he has amnesia. The black-haird boy and the brown-haird boy surprised and shouted he has amnesia. Arin smiles. One of the two slaves asks Arin that he does even know what a slave is. Arin answered uh, nope. One of the two boys asks Arin that then he does know what this place is. Arin answered nope. One of the two boys asks Arin that any idea why he got sold off. Arin answered nope. The black-haired boy asks to Arin that just what he does know then. Arin answered um, nothing. Two boys surprised. The black-haired boy sighed and said what a weirdo. The brown-haired boy said to Arin that well then, if he has any questions, ask away, they'll tell him what they know. So about an hour later. Through their conversation, he was able to learn a lot about the human world. He learned about the shiny objects called money, how one Gold was worth 100 Gilds, one Gild was worth 100 Sild, and so on. He also learned about slavery, nations, cities, and such... After gathering his thoughts for a while, Arin finally realized what his situation was. Arin shouted in anger that hold on, that does mean Rake sold him. The black-haird boy asks to Arin that he has finally realized that he has been conned. The brown-haired boy said how naive, he must've looked after him with the intention of selling him from the beginning. Arin thought Rake, he bastard, so he weren't a kind human. One of the two boys asks Arin that he was okay. One of the two boys asks Arin that he must be shocked. Arin begins to clench his fists and thought what should does he now, shuld he jsut transform back into a dragon and blow all of them away, no, if he did that, he'd be grounded for at least 400 years, he might not be able to see the human would again if he transform back. The black-haired boy said to the brown-haired boy that he can't trust anyone these days. The brown-haired boy said he must be shocked. He stretched and said well, it's no use thinking about it now. The brown haired boy said at this point, let's just hope they can get sold to a good place. They cover themselves with blankets. The black-haired boy said phew, he's tired, how long they have been chatting. The brown-haired boy said let's go to sleep, come on, newbie. Arin thought for now, he'll just does what they say, once he get sold as a sllave, he'll be dragged away somewhere. Arin holds the blanket with his hands and thought once he's there, he'll find a quiet place and transform back into a dragon. Arin lies down and thought after that, he'll kill everyone who was involved in buying him, come back as a human again, great, his plan was perfect.
One week after Arin was sold. The day of the slave auction. This huge building, which was comparable to the castle of an ordinary lord, was filled with blazing heat. Today was the day of the slave auction held once every seven days. The host shouted now, time for today's grand finale, he present to him a 20-year-old young man with fluttering hair the color of red flames and cute eyes with a wondrous beauty. The rhetoric was very extravagant. Arin, who was waiting behind the stage, revealed his curiosity. Arin thought wow, who're they talking about, he wanna see him too. At time time, Arin surprised and said oh, wait, it was him. Eyes poured in from all directions. Arin said why's everyone so excited, humans are so hard to understand. Someone shouted 2,000 Gold. As a highlight, the auction price starts at 2,000 Gold. Someone shouted 2,500 Gold. Someone shouted 3,000 Gold. Because price was price, most competitors were eliminated in the early stages. Only one middle-aged man wearing a flashy primary color vest and a man with a sun-sounding voice wearing a jet-black cape wrapped around his head remain, continuing to raise the auction price. The guy with the flashy vest shouted 5,000 Gold over here. The man covered in something like a blanket shouted in a low, hoarse voice that he'll pay 5,500. The guy with the flashy vest shouted gah, then he'll offer 5,800. The cape guy shouted 6,000 Gold. Someone said good, good, they're on fire. Arin thought he's bored, he doesn't care who buys him, just get this over with. Someone shouted in a deep yet pleasant voice that 10,000 Gold, he'll pay 10,000 Gold. Arin surprised. People say that no way, 10,000, they've got a bid for 10,000 gold, who it was. The guy with the flashy vest surprised. The cape guy shouted that's Darios, the first knight of Karsel. Darios walked towards Arin, who was standing blankly. Arin thought huh, what, that did silver human buy him. Words came out from all directions. Someone shouted Darios, Someone shouted the Silver Knight, Darios. Someone shouted Darios fon Goldbruf. Someone shouted he can't believe he's seeing a Dragon Slayer in person. Someone said but why was the famous Silver Knight here. Someone said could it be Darios swings that way. Embarrassed, Darios looked around. Someone said who know. Darios thought they seem to be gravely mistaken, but it'll only complicate things to try and explain himself here, let's just get this over with and leave. Darios shouted to the crowd again. Darios shouted anyone was else offering a bid, if not, they will acknowledge his ownership. Eyes were falling from all directions. Darios gave money to the host and said here it was, 10,000 Gold. Darios said to Arin that from now on, he was his master, he should follow him. The carriage carrying Arin left the auction house and started running. Darios rode on his horse in front of the wagon. Arin took a quick look.
The day was setting and the forest was dark. The deep shadows of the trees were cast everywhere, giving off an eerie atmosphere. There was a wide open space in the middle of the thick forest where the trees were intentionally carved out for travelers on the forest path, and wagons stop there to stay. Arin, wore a light pink dress and his waist-length long red hair neatly braided with a yellow ribbon at the end, eating bread in front of a bonfire. Behind Arin, an elegant-looking middle-aged woman speaks to the person next to her and said to him that unbelievable, he looks even more similar with the outfit on, he's not just a look-alike, he's a carbon copy, even she thought he looks like princess Ione, if he wasn't a man, there'd be no difference. Arin thought what now, he did get sold as he planned, but they gave him new clothes and food, he should stay here a little longer, they seem nicer than the other humans he has met so farm he should just wait and see if he sold him out like Rake did. Darios spoke to Arin, who was busy looking around. Darios asked to Arin that what's his name. Arin answered that Arin. Darios kneeled in front of Arin and said he really does look alike. Darios asked to Arin that he wasn't curious why they dressed him that way. Darios said he must be flustred, being in this situation after living as a slave, first, he should explain why he bought him, from now on, he will act as a stand-in for princess Ione of the kingdom of Karsel.
