Standing on the street, Fia watched as Claire's silver moon-like figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The corners of the mouth curled up unconsciously.
"It was a good night."
Fia couldn't help talking to herself.
Chapter 15 Slaves and Knights
After parting from Claire, Fia returned to the mansion of the slave trader.
Although Fia lowered the footsteps as much as possible when entering the door, she still woke up the slave sleeping in the courtyard.The scene of Feya feeding the cat-eared girl bread just now was captured by these slaves, so when they saw that it was Feya, they all got up from the cage and lay down in front of the fence, with expectations and longing in their eyes, hope The same favor can befall oneself.
Stared at by dozens of such eyes, Fiya felt a kind of discomfort on her back.
It's not hate, but a sense of guilt. I don't have anything to eat on my body to give them, so even if they give me a look of hope, I can't respond to their wishes.If I have to say it, I am still standing on the same boat with their master, the slave merchant. If the slave merchant is not willing to take in Anastasia, I don't know where I live now.
What an irony.
The class of slaves was no stranger to Fia's memory. Although Fia lived in an era of extremely advanced technology, the gap between rich and poor was quite wide, and raising slaves was a common phenomenon.
Of course, being commonplace doesn’t mean it’s the standard. In Fia’s impression, she seemed to have participated in certain things because she opposed slavery, but what happened later, she no longer had this memory in her head.
The ending should be successful, Fiya guessed, although she has no memory, as long as she thinks about it, she will feel joy in her heart. If it is not successful, it is impossible to have such joy.
Sorry, I will fulfill your wishes after a while.
Faced with the eager eyes of the slaves, Fia forced herself to face the front.
Now I can indeed use flames to burn off the chains and let the slaves go out quietly, but the slaves have slave marks on them, as long as the marks don't disappear, they will never get a proper job, and they will not be treated as "human beings".If you want to return them free, you must obtain and destroy the slave contract, so that the slave mark on the slave will disappear.
Just now Claire said that as long as the Gray Owl is defeated, she can exchange for a bounty of 1000 gold coins at the Adventurer's Guild in Aurora City.Take those bounties yourself and buy these slaves from the slave trader.
Of course, for the sake of not revealing my identity, I definitely can't go to the Adventurer's Guild in person, it's better to find a trustworthy person.As for how to prove that he killed the gray owls, there is nothing more evidence than a dead body.
Although most of those owl-like birds were reduced to charred bodies, there was something called "magic core" on the monster's body, and the magic core was extremely strong. As long as they were collected, they could be used as evidence.
This is also the knowledge recorded in "Secret History of the Witch".
As for why Fei Ya didn't collect the magic core at that time, it was because Fei Ya thought it was too troublesome.Thousands of birds are looking for the magic core one by one. I don't know when they will collect it. Compared with that kind of thing, Fiya still wants to find a soft bed to sleep on.
Of course, this is because Fia doesn't know the value of the magic core. If she knew the value of the magic core, she would pick up a few magic cores and put them in her pocket.
Walking quickly into the hall on the first floor with bright lights, it is different from the empty appearance when you came out. Now there are more maids in plain long clothes in the hall and corridor. The collars on the necks of these maids have explained to Fia their identity.
slave.
It is very obvious that they are not as yellow and emaciated as the caged slaves in the courtyard, but they all have pretty good-looking faces, their complexion is also very healthy, and their treatment is much better than that of the slaves in the courtyard.
There were also classes among slaves.
It's exactly the same as my own world.
It's annoying.
"Miss."
Seeing Fia walk in, a young slave maid nearby stopped her movements, not caring about Fia's elf status, and saluted Fia respectfully.
"Where is Anna?"
"Miss Hui, Miss Anna is in the inner room on the third floor. She seems to be in a hurry."
"I know, go do your own thing."
"Yes."
Fia waved to the young maid, gesturing for her to step back, and then went straight up the stairs to the door of the house where Anastasia was.
The room connected to the tunnel is the servant's room on the first floor of the mansion, and the bedrooms arranged by the slave trader for Anastasia and his party are located on the third floor of the mansion, which is convenient for early detection of danger and relatively comfortable living environment.
Before Fia knocked on the door, there was a heated debate in the room. Fia subconsciously stopped knocking on the door and listened attentively.
"Captain, I also know that the safety of Her Royal Highness is the first priority, but the other royal families imprisoned in this city are equally important. Do you want to abandon the royal family?"
"Do you want to delay the time to escort His Highness home because of this untrue news? The main force of the Knights will return to Aurora City at any time. If we run into the Knight of the Judgment Hall carrying the "Unsinkable Moon", who Do you have the confidence to lead His Highness back completely?"
Anastasia's loud retort made the room stagnate, and after a long while, a man answered earnestly.
"Even if things are not as reported by the intelligence, the detainees are the royal family, but it is true that some compatriots are detained in Aurora City. Captain, I can't abandon them. Most of the defenders in Aurora City are now sent to On the front line, when the defensive strength is weak, we should take advantage of it. It happens that Her Royal Highness is also there, and with the strength of Her Highness's seventh-rank magic caster, saving people is just a piece of cake!"
"Presumptuous! When are you qualified to tell His Highness what to do?"
Anastasia's angry reprimand made the whole room tremble slightly.
She got really angry.
How should I get in now.
Fia couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
This feeling of embarrassment is a bit like going to a classmate's house to play, and the classmate is suddenly beaten up by his parents midway. It's not right to leave, or not to leave.
Fortunately, Anastasia calmed down quickly.
"Phew. I know you are eager to save people, but our first task now is to escort Her Highness. Your Highness lost her memory because of our failure to protect her. We can't make any mistakes, otherwise a hundred of us will die. Make up for the debt owed to His Highness."
"but--"
Before the opponent, Anastasia changed the topic.
"However, we must also confirm whether the detainment of the royal family in the city of Aurora is true. Our troops will be divided into two groups. At dawn, I will take a few people to escort His Highness back to the country, and the rest will be under your command, before the knights return to the city. , to rescue the captured members of the royal family.”
"Team, captain..."
There was obviously more gratitude and reverence in the voice, and the male elf even stuttered.
"No need to say much, go out, I want to arrange things before dawn. I will leave the matter of saving lives to you. I know that you feel guilty about the failure of the battle and are anxious to recover the loss, but don't be disturbed by this, lose your mind." took his own life."
"Yes!"
With the muffled sound of shoes stepping on the carpet, everyone in the room walked towards the door together.
Chapter No.16 Determination
not good.
They came over.
You have to act like you just got here, it would be embarrassing to be caught eavesdropping.
Thinking of this, Fiya hurriedly retreated back to the corridor, and at the same time did not forget to tidy up her skirt and hair to make herself look as dignified as possible.
With the creaking sound of the door, a total of three faces appeared in front of Fia, two of them were elves that Fia had never seen before, and the other was one of the five elves who knelt on one knee to Fia .Probably because they were very satisfied with the results of the negotiation, the three elves had expressions of joy on their faces.
However, when they saw Fia, the three immediately put away their joy and knelt down respectfully on one knee.
"His Royal Highness."
"You don't need to salute, get up. Do your own thing, I have something to ask Anastasia."
"Yes."
Although she wasn't quite used to speaking in such an obviously superior tone, Fia still reluctantly followed suit. After all, it wasn't the first time she encountered such a situation, and she already had some experience.
After dismissing the three elves with ease, Fia stepped into the room.Anastasia had obviously heard Fia's voice, and when she saw Fia approaching, she immediately stood up and bowed her head to Fia.
No matter how you look at it, Anastasia is a well-trained warrior.
"Your Highness."
"Um... Anastasia, do you have time now?"
Without any opening remarks, Fia asked straightforwardly.
Anastasia raised her head, doubts appeared on her usually firm face.
"Your Highness wants it?"
"I have something to discuss with you."
"This subordinate understands, please sit down, Your Highness."
Anastasia made a "please" gesture and asked Fia to sit at the exquisitely crafted round table, while herself, as a servant, prepared refreshments for Fia.You can't pick out any flaws in the smooth and smooth movements, and you can tell at a glance that Anastasia has done it countless times.
This is the meaning of what Anastasia said in her self-introduction, the captain of the second guard of the imperial guards and the personal attendant of the elf princess.Fiya couldn't help sighing to herself, she was not only the guard protecting the elf princess, but also the maid who took care of the elf princess's daily life.Just by watching the action of making tea, one can deduce that Anastasia is an excellent assistant beside the elf princess.
Quickly getting everything ready, Anastasia closed the door, and finally sat down opposite Fia.The room quickly quieted down, only the white mist curling up from the teacup showed that time had not frozen.
This is really... people don't know how to speak.
Fiya pretended to hold the teacup to hide her nervousness.
The reason why I came to Anastasia myself was to explain what I hadn't finished speaking because of the subordinate's intrusion.
Claire's suggestion gave me a lot of inspiration.At first, I thought that as long as I told a white lie as Claire said, after Anastasia and the others felt that it was enough and could accept the death of the elf princess, I could end the wonderful experience in the future. , which is good for both parties.
But another sentence from Claire inspired me - "Fia should think more about herself".
In all fairness, can I really cut off contact with Anastasia and the others easily after Anastasia and the others feel that enough is enough?
The answer is of course no.
The sudden departure of anyone you've known for a long time can be emotional, especially yourself.Especially after experiencing the beautiful things that the elf princess possesses, if I suddenly let myself do the cutting, I am afraid that I will not be able to let go of it for the rest of my life, and it will be difficult to get out of the sadness.
Even if Anastasia was nice to herself, it was only because she mistook herself for an elf princess, Anastasia was also the first woman to speak and make herself feel warm after she came to another world.Until now, the feeling of Anastasia holding her hand in the afternoon still remains in her heart.
It was a warm, reliable, and stable relationship that had never been seen before.
In the past, no one was willing to pay attention to me—not so much that no one was willing to pay attention to me, it was better to say that when I came to my senses, there was no one else around me.Just like a meteor drifting alone in the vast universe, no one sends a message to him, and no one answers the message he sends.How long this time has passed, I can't remember clearly, maybe even the concept of time has been blurred at that time.
However, today, I received the first reply since the long night, and Anastasia was the one who sent me the message.
This world is so vast and colorful that in less than half a day, I experienced countless emotions, even this is not the end, there are more shining things waiting for me in the future.
This is a treasure that does not exist in that icy universe.
It's not bad to become an elf princess just like this, this idea surrounds me all the time.
I don't want to leave Anastasia, the woman who gave me the possibility.
but.
People cannot decide things with a single sensibility or reason.Claire's suggestion is just a suggestion after all, and what to do in the end depends on the person involved.
Therefore, in order not to regret it in the future, in order to cut off these things that make me hesitate, in order to be able to hold my head up and become the existence of Dofilia Alexia Yushir in an upright manner, I must complete a Something only you can do.
That is to tell the secret without reservation and let Anastasia decide whether to stay or not.
If Anastasia did not accept herself, she would choose to leave without delay, and if Anastasia accepted herself, then from now on, no matter whether it was in the dead of night or in a busy city, she would be able to work hard and redouble her efforts with a clear conscience. become an existence that others can only look up to.
Just like the real elf princess is hailed as the number one genius in the elf country, she will become a miracle stronger, kinder and more insurmountable than the elf princess.
Presumably this is what Claire meant when she first said, "You don't need to play the role of the eldest lady, you don't need to be yourself. Relying on your own talents to gain recognition from others is also a choice."
No.17 Chapter Freshmen
But now, whether to leave or stay depends on Anastasia's words.
Thinking of this, Fei Ya's hand holding the teacup couldn't help shaking slightly due to nervousness, she had no choice but to put the teacup back on the table, only then did she realize that her clothes were already wet with sweat after just such a short while.
Now she was like a criminal who was about to go to the gallows. The fierce inner struggle made her even short of breath. In order to calm down her feelings, she took a deep breath and turned her gaze to Anastasia who was sitting across from her.
However, Anastasia was no longer in her original place.
"install--"
"Your Highness."
Suddenly, there was a warm touch on the shoulders first, then the entire back, and finally the neck and cheeks.
Anastasia gently hugged Fia from behind, and her cheeks were also pressed against the side of Fia.Anastasia asked softly with a mother's gentle tone as if facing a baby in swaddling.
"You... are trembling very badly, are you afraid?"
"bu..."
