Episode 3

“…”

“…”

It is difficult.

It was definitely okay when I took Rinne on the carriage.

He seemed very scared, but I thought it was a problem that would be resolved gradually as we spent time together.

I guess so…

“..Why are you lying down on the floor?”

“No..A slave should not enjoy the same luxury as his master…”

I swear I didn’t give a shit.

He followed Hamung and I into the carriage, then fell down on the floor where my feet rested.

‘Ha… Is it because of what Joki said? ‘I’m embarrassed.’

Joki’s words of encouragement to me as I was leaving.

It may be none of his business whether he treats the slave well, but at least he must be treated sternly until he is sure.

Otherwise, they will take advantage of the opportunity to treat you well and run away.

Of course, a bond was established, but this was only a minimal locking mechanism.

There were obvious shortcomings.

The drawback is that if the person being bound feels the urge to urinate, the bond will be broken for a while.

So it was difficult for me to be nice to Rinne.

What can I do?

He also purchased Linnaeus for a large sum of money out of necessity.

It seemed like it would be troublesome if he suddenly ran away.

‘Of course, you can take Acklin hostage.’

He was a human being who by nature couldn’t do that.

For that reason…

It was necessary to deal severely with Linnaeus.

On the way to the mansion, Hamung opened the window.

Rinne, who clearly hadn’t washed properly, had a ripe scent.

It’s funny to say it’s a scent rather than a smell, but in reality, Rinne just has a strong pungent scent even though it wasn’t washed well.

There was no smell.

‘..But I still have to wash it.’

Before we knew it, the carriage had arrived at Mervis Mansion.

***

I went into the mansion with Rinne and Hamung.

The maids and servants of the mansion welcome the return of the family head.

I called one of the maids, Jean, and entrusted her to Rinne.

“This is a child who will become my direct slave. It has been treated harshly for a long time, so wash it cleanly, put it in a maid’s uniform, and send it up.”

“Yes, matriarch.”

I broke the bond for a moment and left Rinne in the care of the head maid.

The head maid called some maids and disappeared with Rinne.

I ordered Hamung to do some work related to Rinne and went up to the head office.

A pile of documents appears as you enter the room.

I started working, feeling the familiar feel of a fountain pen.

Now that I’m used to it, it doesn’t really impress me, but it’s still quite annoying to sort through so many letters.

smart-

Before I could have read and signed each letter, someone knocked on the door of the family room.

“Matriarch. This is Mary. I have finished the work you entrusted me with.”

“Come in.”

The door opened, and the head maid came in, bringing Linne with her.

The scruffy and dirty look was gone, and there was a true and beautiful girl.

As I was staring blankly at Rinne, I started reporting.

“Sorry. I thought it would look better if I just trimmed it a little, so I tidied up my hair.”

“…Good job.”

“Thank you. Then I will leave now.”

Mary left the house, leaving Rinne behind.

Rinne is standing there awkwardly as if she doesn’t know what to do.

I refilled my bonds and called Linnaeus.

“How long are you going to stand like that?”

“…Ah! I’m sorry..master.”

Rinne quickly falls down next to the chair.

..I didn’t mean to obey.

I sighed once and got up from the chair.

“..Kek!”

Rinne’s upper body was forced backwards as the binding wrapped around my neck, probably pulling on my neck.

I made a mistake because I wasn’t used to the binding conditions.

I quickly narrowed the distance and ordered Rinne to follow me.

..I added that he was crawling so I had to get up.

***

“…Wow…”

Anyway, it’s a bit too much to ask someone else in the mansion to introduce this place to the slave.

As he personally introduces the mansion, a quiet exclamation is heard.

Since you said you were a commoner, is it because there are a lot of things you see for the first time?

Rinne’s eyes, which were full of fear and anxiety, appeared with a hint of curiosity.

After exploring the entire mansion to some extent, I finally reached my room.

“This is my room. Linnaeus. This is probably the place where you will be the most with Gajusil.”

“…Ah…”

I felt a little embarrassed by the anxious look in my eyes again, but I tried to ignore it and opened the door, revealing a large room.

A bed that was too big for a single person was placed next to a window built into the wall, a private toilet, and a shower room. There was simple furniture and bookshelves.

Rinne, who was looking at the bookshelf, showed curiosity.

“..Master, do you like books..?”

Are you interested in books?

Asking something for the first time.

“..Oh, sorry if I got off topic..”

“I like it. However, I enjoy third-rate plays rather than complex philosophy books.”

“….”

I took out one of the books I had on the shelf and opened it.

It was a play with simple illustrations.

“This is what I like the most. The story of a clown. A clown who travels around the world and makes a living in theater falls in love with a girl from the countryside.”

It’s such a boring, common thing.

Rinne looks at me with incomprehensible eyes as I mutter this.

“..What is it? Those irreverent eyes.”

“..Ah. Sorry…sorry…”

Rinne kneels down in a hurry.

..I was so embarrassed that I bullied Rinne.

After clearing my throat to brighten the mood, I set some rules for Rinne to follow.

If you have to deal with it harshly in the beginning.

Since I’ve already dealt with it, I guess I can do it a little to my own liking.

When I looked out the window, it had already become very dark.

I rang the bell on the desk to call the maids and told them to lay down a blanket for Rinne.

A small space created next to the bed.

I hoped that you would be patient for a little while, as I would later create a space where I could properly rest once I was sure.

“Your seat is here from now on. Do you understand?”

“Yes, master.”

After making Rinne aware of his location, there was a moment of silence.

Normally, I would have comfortably changed into my pajamas, but now that Rinne is around, I’m worried for no reason.

Since I couldn’t stay still, I decided to just change into my pajamas.

Rinne is surprised to see me suddenly waking up.

As I take off my clothes, my already wide eyes become even more rounded.

And stretched out his hand towards Rinne…

“…Ugh!”

…I picked up the pajamas that were hanging on the chair behind Rinne.

It was a little sad to see the game start like that.

Rinne’s face turned a little red as she stared at him changing into his pajamas.

I thought maybe it was because he was ashamed of his own indecency.

Rinne looked a little cute like that.

“You should also change. That outfit doesn’t look appropriate for sleeping.”

“…Yes, master.”

I reacted a little with disgust, but I quickly wiped it away and picked up the pajamas the maid brought along with the blanket earlier.

Rinne looks at me little by little, then takes off his clothes.

Slurp-

His thin body was revealed, looking more than thin due to not eating well.

Now that I think about it, you said you controlled human desires.

For some reason, he seemed to be staring at me when I made him a bed earlier.

Rinne changed into her pajamas and came over to me.

“…I changed everything, master…”

“That.. yeah.”

I was a little embarrassed because they reported everything to me.

I sat on the bed, hiding my embarrassed expression.

But Rinne is still standing still.

“…You can lie down, Rinne.”

“…Yes.”

Rinne carefully lays down on her small bed, paying attention.

That sight was pitiful.

“Is the seat okay?”

“Yes… I like it. Thank you, master.”

It was amazing to see him never forget to express his gratitude.

Because of that, without realizing it, I lowered my upper body and stroked Rinne’s head as she lay there.

“..Ah!”

When Rinne received my petting, she suddenly bowed down towards me.

…Why do you do that?

“Thank you for petting me, master. I’m happy..”

Is it because of the slave rule I told you about earlier?

After quickly thanking Rinne and not showing any signs of going back down, I just lay down on the bed.

Rinne lays down again, looking at me.

“….Ugh…..Black….”

It was late at night, but for some reason I couldn’t sleep, so I just closed my eyes.

But for some reason, I hear a sobbing sound coming from somewhere.

I quietly opened my eyes and looked at the side of the bed.

Rinne turns around, crouching and shaking.

Occasionally, the sound of someone choking back tears could be heard.

I looked at the ceiling again and lost in thought.

It reminded me of Linnaeus’ fragmentary story that I had naturally heard.

Considering the father who sold himself, the family relationship would naturally be at its worst.

In a place where people are sold alone, the desires that a human being should naturally enjoy are suppressed.

He managed to find a new family there, but the general context is that he was sold to an unknown nobleman.

It was definitely too much for a woman of my age to endure alone.

I just quickly.

I spent a strange night wishing that Rinne would trust me as soon as possible.

***

“…Ah.”

How long will it be?

Such a comfortable sleep.

No, were you able to fall asleep?

I couldn’t even sleep in that place, which could better be called hell.

I don’t know what kind of magic the slave trader has done, but no matter how much I can’t sleep, I just desperately want to sleep.

There was something wrong with my body and I couldn’t fall down.

But in this new place, for the first time in a long time, I was able to sleep.

Thinking about Acklin. I couldn’t fall asleep early because I was holding back my fear,

Nevertheless, last night’s sleep was so sweet.

“You sleep more than you think, Rinne.”

A heavy, low-pitched sound came from a car that had not yet woken up.

It belonged to my master.

“Ah…no. Sorry, master.”

Not long after I woke up, my pronunciation became distorted.

I immediately realized my mistake and bowed my head.

The slave education I received in hell was engraved in my brain.

My body moved spontaneously.

“Ah… sin… sorry…”

“Ha…”

My master didn’t seem to like me.

He sighs quite a bit while looking at me.

Low, cold eyes.

You have to be happy.

Otherwise, they might sell me somewhere else.

To those terrible nobles I have seen so many times in hell.

Fortunately, the master who took me in seemed to be on the good side.

On the first day, I asked to risk death to say my last goodbye to Acklin, and he accepted it more willingly than I expected.

Maybe I was a lucky kid.

I met the master who brought me out of that hell.

That’s why I didn’t want to be away from this master if possible.

..But mistakes keep coming.

What do we do?

I don’t want to be hated.

I hope my master takes care of me.

Because I didn’t want to be sick.

Because I didn’t want to get hurt anymore.

This is the first favor I have ever received in my life.

I wanted to be with a master who could give me that favor.

Due to anxiety, my brain began to malfunction, and I came up with answers that were a bit far from rational.

Sreuk-

“Sin….I’m sorry, master. Because I had a lot of sleep on the subject of slavery, I couldn’t answer properly. Ha…please take a look…”

I took off my clothes and bowed my head at my master’s feet.
