The Pirate: Throne of Bones

"what?"

"Are you planning to take this dead girl away?"

Just when Milena learned how to make cotton fish and came to the corner to amuse the little girl, the shop owner suddenly heard an exclamation from the kitchen door.

Facing the shouting shop owner with a look of disbelief on his face, Elena's expression remained unchanged, "You heard me right, madam."

"According to your attitude towards this child, madam, it seems that if we want to take her away, there will be no problem, right?"

"At most..." At this point, Elena looked at the shop owner, her teasing tone suddenly became more intense, "You will make some slightly excessive demands."

Withdrawing the teasing in her eyes, Elena turned to Milena and gestured to Milena to come with the little girl.

Turning her head, Elena looked at the owner of the shop again, "Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Facing Elena, who seemed plain but was actually aggressive, the shop owner quickly made a calculation in his mind.

To be able to run a store in a prosperous district of the capital, one must learn to observe people's emotions.

Judging from the past experience of the owner of this small shop, the blonde woman in front of him is definitely a high-ranking and powerful person.

What is there to say?

Affected by their own power and strength, there will be a level gap between the bosses.

But simply speaking from the meaning of the word "big brother", there is no difference between "big brother".

then…

"One million Baileys!"

"This distinguished guest, as long as you pay 1000 million beli, this girl will be yours."

"From now on, it's up to you to decide whether this girl lives or dies!"

"Our family, our family, will never have this person again."

Looking at the shop owner in front of her who first pretended to be reluctant, and then immediately opened her mouth, Elena's expression remained unchanged and she just replied with one word, "Okay."

the other side.

Milena, who heard the conversation between Elena and the shop owner, said nothing, but raised her hand and rubbed the little girl's head.

From beginning to end, the little girl was very quiet.

Even though she witnessed the whole process of being "sold", the little girl did not make any unnecessary noise.

Even after knowing that she had been sold by her aunt for a sky-high price of 1000 million Baileys, the little girl pursed her lips and did not even dare to continue to make the sobbing sound before.

In the mind of this little girl who is 1000% similar to little Monet, if she performs poorly, her aunt will "lose" [-] million beli.

The little girl couldn't even imagine that kind of nightmare outcome.

Then, Milena pulled the backpack behind her back and took out ten stacks of Baileys with a face value of [-].

Each stack costs 100 million Baileys, and ten stacks cost 1000 million Baileys.

After placing ten stacks of 1000 million beli on the shelf next to the shop owner, Milena put her backpack behind her again.

Taking the little girl's hand, Milena walked towards the outside of the shop first.

"Let's go~Elena~"

It wasn't until Milena's figure was about to disappear at the door of the shop that Milena's voice slowly reached the ears of the shop owner, "Remember what you said today~"

"I hope..."

"You won't regret it one day!"

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the little girl who was held by Milena's hand completely disappeared into the small store.

After leaving the shop, Elena used the phone bug to contact Sakaski, and made an appointment with Sakaski and Villes to meet on the Warspite.

After hanging up the phone, Elena and Milena walked to the left and right, protecting the little girl in the middle, and walked leisurely towards the outside of Masluo City.

……

"That...I..."

After leaving Masluo City and heading to the Warspite, the little girl walking between Elena and Milena suddenly spoke weakly.

"I, I know."

Hearing the little girl speak, Elena and Milena stopped at the same time, wanting to hear what the little girl would say.

"Auntie asked you for a lot of money, but I'm not worth 1000 million."

The little girl closed her eyes nervously, and her voice gradually became smoother, "But please give me a chance."

“I can cook, I can clean, I can do the housework.”

“Although there are still many things I don’t know how to do, I can learn.”

"I eat very little every day, just two meals, no, no, no, just one meal is enough."

"In the past, at my aunt's house, I only needed to eat one meal a day to finish the day's work."

"Even if you don't eat for a day or two occasionally, there's no problem!"

"If I do something wrong, these two noble men can beat me, deny me food, or hang me up."

"but--"

"--Please give me a chance!!!"

"Don't kill me directly!!!"

After saying that, the little girl knelt directly on the ground, pressing her forehead tightly to the ground, gritting her teeth to prevent herself from crying out of fear.

The little girl's words caused Elena and Milena to fall into silence at the same time.

Especially when I heard the little girl say that when she lived at her aunt’s house, she only had one meal a day, and sometimes even no food for a day or two...

At this moment, even Elena and Milena, who knew that there were many dark sides in this sea, felt panicked.

People can't, at least they shouldn't.

"I'm going to kill her!"

After squeezing out a few words through her teeth, Milena turned around and left. She planned to go to Masluo City to kill the owner of the small shop first, and then return to the Warspite.

As soon as Milena finished speaking, before she could take action, Elena stopped her, "Don't go!"

"This is the little girl's matter. It will be settled by the little girl herself from now on."

Stopping Milena who was about to kill someone, Elena looked very serious, "I know more things than you."

"In terms of anger, I'm angrier than you."

"But this is the little girl's own matter. She has to solve it by herself."

"Even if someone helps, it won't be you or me, but...little Monet!"

After hearing Elena's words, no matter how much anger there was in Milena's heart, she suppressed it with force.

"Okay, I see."

After forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart, Milena turned around and pulled the little girl up from the ground.

"Good~"

"Don't cry~Don't be afraid~"

"In the future, you will have endless meals to eat and endless juice to drink."

“Eat as many meals as you want in a day.”

"Besides, I guarantee that every meal of yours contains meat~"

Looking at the little girl who was still trembling in front of her, Milena's voice became gentler, "As for what you want to do..."

"I have a daughter who is one year younger than you."

"You just need to play with my daughter, practice together, and grow up together."

"It will be great when you grow up and can be a trustworthy partner next to my daughter."

"How about it?"

"Is not it simple?"

Compared to Elena who is [-] meters tall, her height alone can bring a strong sense of oppression to most people.

Milena, who is only 1.6 meters tall, in the eyes of the little girl at this time...

...as if it turned into light!
