He Is a Master Who Can’t Handle a Slave Properly

Chapter 1

1 – You want to buy a slave.

What I have in front of me right now is the city’s official slave trade.

And I want to buy a slave here.

A woman with white hair and fur, pricked ears, sharp eyes and red eyes.

The reason I wanted to buy her was because I felt sorry for her situation, and sympathized with her situation where she had to live as a slave, caught up in my business.

She became a slave because I almost died.

Beforehand, she didn’t mean to kill me.

The person she introduced was a criminal, and the large inn where she worked fired her by citing regulations and demanded a huge amount of compensation.

Raising a poor family alone, she had no choice but to become a slave.

Therefore, I tried to get her out of a difficult situation by purchasing her even if I spent the money I had.

If you ask why it had to be me, once I was on the first line to buy her as a person directly involved in the case,

Because her beauty is quite famous in the city, many people have their eyes on her,

The guard captain, who was an acquaintance of hers, was worried about her, explained the situation one by one, and asked me to purchase her.

Even going through the trouble of informing me of her sale date.

I was not a strong person who could pass by such a story, so I had no choice but to stand in front of the building like this.

***

The money I have is not entirely mine.

When I first opened my eyes in this world, I was able to have it thanks to being helped in many ways by Yang Soo-in, who took me in.

I was taken aback by the existence of a beastman and the green fields I had never seen before, but with his help, I was able to cover my naked body with a cloth and get a place to stay.

He also gave me the name Marcus, which I am using now.

This man, Paul, gave me a job, taught me this and that, and put me to manual labor in a new world with a frail body.

Carrying heavy loads, washing the cattle on his ranch –

It was really difficult at the time, but now, all I can do is be grateful.

It wasn’t that he worked on me for no pay, it was because he tried to keep me full by deliberately buying meat that he didn’t even eat.

When I was resting, I made sure I could rest comfortably, and I thought of the snacks that I casually handed to me in the middle of work.

Most of them were small carrots.

The reason for talking in the past tense is simple.

because he’s dead

One day, he was trying to defend the ranch against a band of bandits who attacked him, but when I visited him, he was already so injured that he couldn’t use his hands.

With no family left, he handed over all the money except for his funeral expenses to me, whom I had only met for a few months.

After disposing of the land he owned and selling his properties to auction, a lot of money came into my arms.

Yeah, isn’t that the money he spent to save me?

So it would be right to spend money to save someone.

Just like Yang Soo-in, who saved me,

Maybe I should spend this money on the person I want to save.

‘You are a good man. In a city like this, few people actually want to worry about strangers. Especially if you want to look good on someone who is in some way associated with someone who has harmed you. That’s why I’m telling you.’

I pondered over the words the captain of the guard had told me.

In fact, I was going to buy her and immediately free her from slavery.

It was because the concept of having a slave itself felt a bit awkward, and it was because the concept of ‘having’ such a beautiful person was very awkward.

‘A man who was fired for being involved in an unsavory affair at the biggest inn in the city, and a crime at that. Having said that, most workplaces would reject her. Even if it’s Elie Michel of Rimmir Inn. Even if you escape slavery, do you think you will be able to earn money the normal way?”

But as long as she is branded, she can no longer live the life she used to. Nor do I have the power to change it. It could be said that the property was not small, but it was not a lot.

‘Of course, she’s a speedy rabbit beast, so she can act as an adventurer. But would you like to work with her? Will ‘trustworthy’ people approach her?’

I could at least call myself a clean person. At least in the part of approaching her with sympathy, I felt like I could say that.

But is this really the right decision? Is it right for someone who has just stepped into this new world to try to do something like this?

Am I trying to do something like this knowing how big of a problem it is to be responsible for someone?

“Ah, you are here. Come in. I was waiting.”

But before I had time to reconsider my thoughts, I was already inside the building,

The neatly dressed man in front of me introduced himself as Charles Locke and took me into the room.

It was a plain room with two sofas facing each other, with a table between them, and simple decorations. Even if you try to catch the characteristics, it should be said that pens, ink pads, and various tools with unknown uses are placed.

I sat down on the couch and took my ID card out of my pocket and handed it to him.

“Confirmed, Marcus Ann. As a party to the case, you have the highest priority purchase qualifications, okay.”

“Before we begin, do you need a basic explanation of slavery?”

“What is it about?”

“It seems you don’t know. In a way, it makes sense. Beforehand… I heard the story from the captain of the Pyotor guard. So let me explain in a bit more detail.

The treatment of slaves is completely dependent on the owner. In addition, all legal support for slaves is provided by their masters. For this reason, it is not recommended to keep slaves away from their masters.

except in special cases. Actually, the decision-making power rests with the owner, but I don’t know what to say… Because the situation is the situation.

The payoff for labor is at the discretion of the master. Totally. You may or may not be paid for your labor.

Neither the sale of the slave nor the punishment for the slave’s disobedience rests with the master’s heart. In other words, all treatment of slaves is up to the master.”

His words didn’t sound very good. People are treated like property.

“Then, a slave cannot resist at all? No matter how unreasonable I do?”

“Oh, no. Officially, the city’s laws forbid unreasonable cruelty by the master and the punishment of slaves to the point of losing their lives, and there are provisions for such punishment. if the party reports it.

It means ‘parties’. Reports made by third parties will be treated as unreliable. Because of the crimes of coveting and committing other people’s slaves. However, slaves without masters do not receive legal protection… Do you understand?”

“What is that-”

So, doesn’t that mean slaves can’t resist? It is like saying that if the master is captured, there is no one to take care of the slave and no one to protect it. A slave will keep his mouth shut even if he is afraid of it.

As if understanding my grimacing expression, Charles lightly touched his chin and continued.

“Don’t get me wrong. The reason I am telling you this is a kind of warning to treat slaves responsibly.

Of course there is no coercion. No matter what you do, city authorities respect your freedom and ensure that you act on your ‘property’. Because of this, the treatment of slaves depends entirely on your conscience and heart.”

I poududeuk this and grinded it. How would other slaves sold to other owners be treated?

Shaking my head with a bad thought, I thought only of the present.

The best I can do to help her is, in the end, I will be the best owner for her.

If I treat her well, I can guarantee her a life like that of a freedman.

Recalling the resolution several times to appease the troubled conscience, it seemed that the tension in my heart was relieved.

“Then, let me confirm the ‘product’.”

As he waved his hand at the person on the other side of the door, the person I was thinking of quietly entered the room.

White hair that hung over her shoulders, but neatly tied back,

Half-folded, fluttering rabbit ears,

And red eyes and sharp eyes.

“This is Ellie Michelle.”
