“How do you avoid it without looking?”

“What on earth?!”

It felt like I was having a nightmare. In an instant, all of his subordinates turned into enemies. Since they also use mind manipulation on humans, I know what it is. But what on earth is that without any delay or tools?

I have to escape somehow. Even though the exit was blocked, if it was a passage for goods, it was the moment he tried to turn around. Suddenly the shadow sank and my two legs were sucked in. He couldn’t lift a finger.

“Lady. I’m sorry you’re having fun, but how about we sort things out soon?”

Nazar appeared from the shadows and bowed his head reverently to his lord.

“ㅡAre you done?”

“Yes, everyone has been rescued.”

The way he spoke was like trying to stop a girl from playing with a doll, and it was like that.

Marian felt regretful inside. I was so excited because it was a long-awaited opportunity to experiment with magic.

‘It’s not play.’

I nodded and reflected.

“Good job. Well, Nazar specializes in harassing bad guys, rather than me. Still, I also thought of something.”

“More than anything, the young lady’s wishes come first.”

“Yes. That means everything here is branded with the slave brand. And how about making him do the thing he hates the most for a week and then punishing him for it? Of course, I’m going to kill all the nobles, too, for secrecy, and I’m planning on making them all pay for their lives! How about it?”

A fairly long explanation followed, but Nazar listened in silence. Even though her voice was bright, there was a hint of displeasure in the young lady’s eyes.

Human resources can also be recycled and thrown away.

Nazar bowed his head politely.

“Yes, my lord.”

A stage filled with the scent of blood. While all the participants were kneeling, only one girl was sitting on the sofa, crossing her ankles and looking down at them.

“Yes. Did everyone understand?”

Among them were quite young Yeongsik and many older nobles. Sometimes there were ladies over 50. The sight of so many people kneeling and bowing to one girl was a spectacular sight.

A moment of silence.

“What on earth are you talking about! No matter how much you are a princess, that is too much tyranny.”

“Hmm? too bad? really? What is this?”

Marian tilted her head while saying “strange?”.

Starting with him, the nobles began to rebel little by little.

“If you release us now, there will be no problem.”

“That’s right, I’ll also leave today’s matter to you regardless.”

“Buying your own life with money, do you think that makes sense?”

“Is that girl actually a princess in the first place?”

Among them, a greasy bald man who was a wealthy merchant who did not yet have a title but was planning to purchase one soon got up and started pointing at her.

“Ah. Are you the owner?”

She smiled. It was sarcastic, but he gained confidence.

“Everyone saw it, right? That girl is my slave. I officially won the bid!”

His voice rose and he rolled over.

The headless neck gushes out blood like a fountain and falls to the floor.

“Aaaagh!”

“Ugh!!”

It was a truly comical sight to see them crawling away while shouting vigorously.

The man’s severed head rolled right in front of the girl.

“Huh? Tell me more? I let him come closer to me, but he didn’t talk?”

The girl tilted her head and kicked her head.

“Who else would you like to talk to closely?”

When no one spoke, the girl smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes. Everyone prepare documents and contract seals.”

As soon as she spoke, the gang members took out the slave contract documents and seals. As if the slave contract used in ‘Stiltooth’ was a joke, they began preparing a very detailed contract.

“Okay~ Then the auction begins! First of all, I’ll just do it first!”

Even though she spoke brightly, the stage was dead quiet.

The organization members who were organizing the venue asked, ‘Should we at least applaud?’ He said quietly, but Nazar shook his head.

“Ah- It’s not fun because no one responds. Do you just want to die?”

Marian silently approached and looked down at Youngsik Han.

The moment our eyes met, he knew that those words were sincere. She didn’t really see them as the same creatures.

At this moment, they realized once again.

She is a predator, not a commodity.

Her fingers move. The moment those fingers point towards her, there is no doubt about it. The next one whose head will fall will be you.

They were so frightened by the simple gesture that they started squeezing the neck with all their might.

“Wow. Wow…”

The stage is filled with tremendous cheers, comparable to when an auction is in full swing.

“ character. Then the first auction! Is this called a reverse auction? Well anyway! The first right to survive! Anyone who buys this can get out alive! There may be some restrictions, but we can go back to our normal daily lives. How are you? Are you happy?”

Marian spoke as if in a play and spun around as if dancing.

“Ah. He doesn’t look very happy?”

“Wow!”

It was a bizarre cheer mixed with crying in between, but she shook her head and raised her hands.

“Yes, yes. I’m glad everyone is happy, thank you for your support! The first right to survive starts with 50,000 gold!”

Five fingers spread out beautifully. However, the amount far exceeded their imagination. An amount that far exceeds the budget of most fiefdoms.

“……!”

Silence returns.

“Of course, you don’t have to pay it right away, it can be divided, so you can pay the interest later by looking at the documents!”

Marian, who was watching them start to look at each other in silence, smiled.

“Ah. Let me tell you in advance, I don’t know how many tickets I’ll get for survival, so can I just say it depends on my mood? And the moment the bid is rejected, the auction is over. It remains to be seen what will happen to the remaining people…” As she spoke, she only glanced at the headless torso.

“50,000 gold!”

“51,000 gold!”

“60,000 gold!!!”

She smiled brightly as she saw the prices rising sharply.

*

“Of course, money is the best.”

It was when Marian, who left the venue, muttered.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you, sister.”

Words of gratitude began to flow from the rescued slaves.

“Uh, yes.”

Marian roughly waved her hand and walked away.

“Why are you there?”

“He said he wanted to say thank you to the lady.”

Nazar, who was following her, smiled happily.

“…Hmm.”

Marian turned her head and scratched her cheek. At first glance, I saw a person in the same room who said, ‘Seeing this, I guess I’m a prison cellmate…’ ?’ A silly thought makes me laugh.

“What should the victims do?”

Nazar thought his owner, whose cheeks were blushing, was so cute he was dying.

“As usual. Most of the time, I will do whatever you want.”

“Okay, would you like to go back right away?”

“Yes. I’m a little tired.”

* * *

“Quaaah!”

A dungeon without a single light. Just a few days ago, it was a place where children and women cried, but now that the owner had changed, even more terrible screams were coming out.

Sigh. Nazar, who opened the cage and came in, asked softly.

“Tyran. Are you satisfied now?”

“Phew. okay. It’s because I’m the type of person who can’t stand what happened to me.”

The dwarf answered with a refreshing expression. Until just a few days ago, Tyran was unable to die due to an amputated leg.

“Anyway, thank you. It has already been stamped, so technically it is your property, isn’t it?”

He looked down at the men croaking with their limbs cut off. They were members of the Stiltooth organization who captured him and cut off his legs and arms.

“It’s the young lady’s order.”

“That young lady?”

“Yes, you said to listen to most of the victims’ requests, that’s your policy.”

“Hahaha. It’s so crazy.”

Tyran laughed cheerfully. I did it myself, but it was a miserable sight. The fingernails and toenails were removed and the limbs were cut off, layer by layer. He couldn’t think about how he could do something so cruel, but just by giving back to him what had been done to him, he felt like his mind, which had been going crazy, had cleared up.

‘No, I came to my senses after meeting that young lady.’

But the clearer my mind became, the more vividly I remembered what had happened.

How could he, a master dwarf, have expected that he would just enter a tavern and be attacked by a human? The Perun he knew was a city of music and art.

“Quaaah!”

Even now, screams were echoing from all directions.

Most of the women and children wanted to leave this place, but some warriors wanted revenge on them.

And that was within the acceptable range of ‘pretty much whatever you want’ that the young lady said.

Nazar’s eyes were slightly squinted at the noise that was loud enough to interfere with conversation.

“Shall we change seats first?”

“Can I meet that girl?”

Tyran scratched his cheek.

“May I ask when you will come?”

Nazar walked and opened the gate in a familiar manner.

“No, I can’t tell you to come and go even though you are my benefactor. Doesn’t that lady come often?”

Tyran didn’t mind either and entered the gate with him.

“Hmm. Normally, she comes to the organization three or four times a week, but right now she is on vacation… .”

“It turned out better. Would your organization be able to entrust it to you for a while?”

“Tyran?”

Nazar opened his eyes wide. Tyran was also there to explain what would happen next to the victims. Most of them had no place to return to, and some were even dreaming of moving to the young lady’s territory. Even he couldn’t help but click his tongue when he heard that he had been caught by a slave hunter who took advantage of it. ‘I never thought there would be people who want to take advantage of that.’ I need to discuss this with you some more.

“Didn’t you say it earlier? Among the victims’ jobs, you can also have your own organization if you want.”

Tyran looked around the office and stroked the ornate throne that was placed out of place.

“What is this?”

“Oh, that’s one of the seats I prepared for you.”

“Can I take a look at it?”

“…Yes?”

“Looking at that young lady’s body shape, it would be much more comfortable to dig a little deeper than this. No matter how much it is for a throne, as long as it is a chair, a little more… The person who made this has never made a chair for women.◦ #◦

His eyes lit up at the room that had expanded beyond the space of a dwarf and the magic tools placed here and there.

“Oh. This magic tool is great, but compared to magic stones or magic, its strength and appearance are a bit disappointing.”

“Ah… Yes.”

Nazar responded kindly at first, but after an hour passed, he responded with bleary eyes.
