41 – Scene 041# Stupid Man
*
“Um… .”
Something cold and hard was touching his cheek.
When I opened my eyes, Bella was lying on the stone floor.
It hurt like being hit in the back of the head.
He seemed to have lost his mind for a moment.
“… … town?”
There was something like a gag in his mouth.
I tried to get up, but Bella didn’t move at will.
Because his hands and feet were bound by ropes.
Only then did she remember that she had been captured.
‘For sure… .’
After meeting Alice who was lost, Bella went around the market to find her mother.
But even if there were many people, there were too many.
Finding Alice’s mother in the middle of a bustling market was no easy feat.
She forgot the purpose of coming to the market and wandered around the market to find Alice’s mother.
Then, when she came to a dark place, she was surrounded by thugs.
In fact, bullies were no match for Bella.
Bella, who drew her sword for self-defense, slashed and incapacitated those who approached her one by one.
It was close to impossible for the thugs in the slums to beat her, who had learned swordsmanship at the Duke’s house.
However, they weren’t stupid even if they didn’t have skills.
– Don’t move! Otherwise, this kid won’t be safe!
The man whose cheek was bleeding took Alice hostage.
-Taking a child hostage… Aren’t you ashamed of that?
-Noisy! b*tch! Get rid of the knife before you do anything to the kid!
-… … I know.
In the end, Bella had no choice but to throw away the knife.
At this time, I fell to my knees at the kicks of the bullies who rushed to me.
At the same time, her hood came off, revealing her face beneath it.
The men’s mouths opened all at once.
-… Hey, isn’t this year a beauty?
-This was a windfall? hehehe.
All Bella could do was stare at them fiercely.
Then, with a dull sound hitting the back of her head, her consciousness was cut off.
And now.
Bella looked around.
To find the girl who was caught with her.
And soon she realized that there was something warm next to her.
‘… !’
Alice was lying next to Bella.
My face was swollen from crying for a long time.
Alice snuggled up to Bella and slept with a gasping sound.
Fortunately… There doesn’t seem to be any injuries.
Bella was relieved.
But the situation was worst.
Bella was captured by hoodlums, dragged to an unknown place, and imprisoned.
The magic flowing through her body did not work properly.
It was probably because they took medicine to prevent them from using magic.
Bella got up.
I still don’t know what their purpose is.
If we find out something, maybe we can negotiate… .
Just then, several footsteps were heard outside the door.
Sigh.
Light leaked in through the open door.
The first to show his face was the man who held Alice hostage.
He grinned when he found Bella awake.
“Howdy. Are you awake? Cutie.”
“… … .”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes. If you quietly gave money and sent it, wouldn’t this happen to each other? yes?”
“… … .”
“Hey, if a person speaks, at least the answer is… Oops.”
The man scratched his head and released the gag from Bella’s mouth.
“Sorry. Now, can you tell me this?”
“… Did you know who I was and did this?”
“Ah, he must be a high-ranking nobleman. Whether it’s a duke or a count, what’s the matter?”
“You say that? Kidnapping a noble is a felony. Anyone who joins you will be punished.”
“Puhahahaha! Does the princess look like we’re afraid of the law?”
A man came up to Bella.
And with a greasy gaze, he scanned her face.
“Princess Wakku one is the best. If I sell it, it will be sold at a high price.”
“Shut up… After all, isn’t money your goal? How much is the ransom?”
“5 billion kaels. In cash, of course.”
“… … I beg your pardon?”
It was an outrageous amount.
Bella looked up at the man in amazement.
“Do you guys think that’s a realistically possible amount?”
“then. That’s a realistic enough amount. Do you think you’d stay still if we let you go? Of course I’ll try to catch it. 5 billion kaels includes the cost of our fleeing to a foreign country.”
“Sigh… Don’t worry, I’ll never catch you.”
“Hey.”
The man grabbed Bella by the hair.
“What do you think we look like? believe that? I don’t even believe the kids. ok? What are you talking about?”
“… It’s not like that.”
The man who grabbed her silver hair tightened his grip.
“Don’t give a damn. no what is not This b*tch. Can you see this?”
The man removed the gauze from his cheek.
There was a large scar that hadn’t dried up in it.
The man pulled out a knife and thrust it into Bella’s face.
“I’m hurt because your years cut me. Would you like to make the same? ok?”
“… … .”
“So can you give me 5 billion? doesn’t exist?”
“I don’t have that much money… .”
“Ha, what kind of aristocrat has no money? This is a f*cking year.”
At those words, Bella became furious.
“Are you saying that you know how much money 5 billion is? A noble who casually gave that kind of money… … Where are you in this empire… .”
Bella had to swallow her words halfway through.
Because there was only one aristocrat who seemed capable of offering such a large sum of money like a lie.
The man laughed, probably misunderstanding her appearance.
“Just looking at it, I can’t give it to you because it’s a beggar after all. It doesn’t matter. If you sell them as slaves for four years, you will be able to make quite a lot of money.”
“… Are you going to sell me as a slave? Do you know what will happen if you buy me, a nobleman, as a slave? If you do, you will be caught soon.”
“Oh, of course you know. So you will be sold as a slave to a foreign country.”
“Foreign… ?”
This country is clearly in the middle of isolation, so exchanges with foreign countries have been cut off.
Knowing that fact, Bella had no choice but to ask.
The man bared his yellow teeth and smiled.
“Are you surprised? We are actually black traders. There are also connections with countries outside the empire, such as Alzes and Falic. Of course, I have ties to the rich people of that country.”
“… It’s okay.”
The man held her chin with his hand.
“If a strong and pretty b*tch like you was put up for auction, foreign aristocrats would go crazy trying to bid each other? Even a high-status aristocrat wouldn’t be able to use it all the more. I will give you billions to enslave you for four years.”
“Leave this… .”
“Ha, damn b*tch. I wonder how long you can keep that arrogant attitude… Five?”
The man looked at Bella, licking his lips, and found Alice sleeping on her lap.
And his expression brightened as if he had found money on the floor.
Bella had a foreboding feeling.
“Oh, yes. It would be fine if this little boy was included as a bonus.”
“Please stop it… The child did nothing wrong.”
“Your expression has changed a bit now. But what? We’re guys who will do anything to make money. Kkeukkeuk.”
Seeing the bully in front of her eyes, Bella ironically recalled the man’s face.
A man who believed that money could buy anything.
The man tried to buy Bella’s heart with money.
Although he failed in the end, he tried to take possession of everything in her.
I longed for her more than anyone else.
‘Because he’s such a stupid man…’ .’
Tristan was different from the vulgar man in front of me.
It was mean, but lofty, and it was also dignified.
And… I knew I would come clean.
‘Ahh… . I wanted to see you one last time… .’
Bella sighed.
When I heard that Tristan was hurt, I asked Blanche to send my regards instead.
Actually, she wanted to go and see his face, but her pride wouldn’t allow it.
Because of that ugly pride… Bella realized she couldn’t see him anymore.
The scarred bully stood up.
“Hey, but why isn’t your brother coming?”
“to? The maknae went to call earlier, so it’s time to come soon… .”
“That man won’t come.”
Then a dry voice came to their ears.
“It’s such a disgusting place… .”
“What, what?”
“How the hell did you know this place?! Who are you?”
The man in front of them was a man in a black coat.
Obsidian-colored hair and a slightly chubby face.
It looked at them in the room with a proud gaze.
And the man was someone Bella knew well.
“Don’t breathe in front of me. shallow things.”
