Chapter 7: It's her
Leon finds Kerry in the VIP room.
Kerry looked surprised: "So fast?"
"Is it still fast?"
"No, brother, we've only been apart for ten minutes at most, right?"
"Don't talk about this, I'm looking for you to get down to business. โ
"Hehe, that's a nice girl, isn't she?" said Kerry with a wicked smile.
"That's what I'm looking for you, I've decided, it's her, you help me talk to Boss Tรกr. โ
"Hey, no problem. โ
It didn't take long for Boss Tarr to take Vetelle to the VIP room.
By this time, Vetlielle had already put on a tattered linen shirt. A burlap bag is more appropriate than a garment.
"Are you two satisfied?"
"Well, my brother has taken a fancy to her, boss, do you want to see if the price is cheaper?" Kerry tried to bargain with Tรกr.
"Don't worry, Lord Kerry, you are already a regular customer here, and of course I will give you the most reasonable price. How about 100 gold coins?"
"Wow, boss, you're robbing! The ones I bought before were only a few dozen gold coins. When Kerry heard this, he almost jumped up.
"No, no, no, Mistress Kerry, you're mistaken. This time the goods are indeed superb, and the key is that it is the first time for her. This price is already the lowest in this class. โ
"You say it's the first time?" Kerry still didn't believe it.
"This ...... If Lord Kerry doesn't believe me, can you confirm it with Lord Leon?" Tarr frustrated his hands and suggested Kerry with a little embarrassment.
Kerry put his hand around Leon's neck, pulled Leon over, and whispered, "Is it really the first time?"
"Huh?" Leon replied, not knowing how to answer.
"I ask you if it's the first time she's done!" he said, turning his gaze to Vitrelle, who was standing to the side.
Vitrelle looked a little embarrassed when she saw Leon looking at her, and buried her head low.
"Well, it should be, right?" Leon was also a little embarrassed when he saw Vetel, and hurriedly looked away.
"What do you mean! Yes is yes, no is no, these two prices are several times different. โ
"Yes!" Leon finally stopped hesitating.
"And what are you going to do, really buy it?" Kerry sighed.
"What else else can I do?"
"Seriously, this one is the most expensive I've seen so far. Although the owner said it was a good one, it was a superb, but I still felt that the price was a bit high. If you don't buy it, spend ten gold coins, and it will be regarded as an inspection. โ
"Well, I'd better just buy it. โ
"Brother, there is no grass at the end of the world. โ
"But I promised her. โ
"What? What promised?!" Kerry's eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine that a fool would make any promise to a slave, and he seemed to be really obsessed, and regretted that he should not have brought this half-elf who had never seen the world to such a place.
"It's nothing, it's not too early, let's solve it sooner and go back early. โ
"Hey, whatever you want. โ
"Adults, do you think it's now?" Tar rubbed his hands together, he had probably guessed the outcome of their conversation, and looked happy.
"Hurry up and help us get the formalities done. Kerry commanded helplessly.
"Okay, it'll be done in a minute. Would you like to take her to a shower?"
"Oh, no, we've got to go back right now. Untie the rope from her hand. Leon looked at Wittel's swollen hands and couldn't bear it.
"Well, Lord Leon, this rope can be untied. But if we get out there and the goods escape, we are not responsible. Tal and Leon explained that they were afraid that they would run away and come back to find their own trouble.
"Well, it's okay, untie it. โ
"Yes, my lord, please come here and pay for the goods. โ
Tal led Leon to a room near the door, and after handing over the 100 gold coins, Tal handed Leon the proof of the transaction.
"Now, this slave is you, Lord Leon. This is proof of transaction, so please keep it safe. โ
"Okay, thanks. Leon rolled up the proof of the transaction and put it in his arms.
"Well, then, you can now leave with this slave, and welcome back again. โ
Leon and Kerry walked ahead, and Wittelle silently followed.
"How are we going to get her into the academy?" Leon seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Oops, I didn't think about how to get back. โ
When she arrived at the gate of the academy, Wittelle finally understood that the two must have escaped secretly.
"Although you can bring a maid to school after registering at the academy, it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest. "After all, Kerry took a maid with him from the beginning, and this process is quite familiar.
"You can't leave her out overnight, can you?"
"Hmm~" Kerry was thinking of a way. "That's it, brother. I'll help you lure the guards away, you take the opportunity to sneak in with her, and then go straight back to the dormitory, and go through the formalities tomorrow. โ
"Yes, but how do you get them away? โ
"You don't care about this, you wait here, and as soon as they leave you, they'll go in, you know?"
"Good. โ
I saw Kerry staggering to the guards and shouting, "Robbery, I've been robbed, help me chase it!"
"Who are you?" the guard asked aloud.
"I'm a student here, help me chase the robbers!" Kerry explained, pulling out the coat of arms of the Royal Academy.
When the guards saw the coat of arms, they did not dare to slack off.
"In which direction did the robbers flee?"
"Follow me!" Kerry led the guards and ran from the east.
After running for a while, I felt that something was wrong, and turned around and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"
It turned out that there were two other guards who did not chase the robbers with Kerry, but kept guard by the gate.
"But ......"
"But what, what I lost is something very valuable, I must catch the robbers, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
"Hurry up, it's okay all of a sudden, and who dares to break into the Royal Academy after so many years?"
The captain of the guard who took the lead was really afraid that these noble sons would really make trouble for themselves, and it would be thankless when the time came.
"Yes!"
"Let's go!" Leon saw the guard being taken away by Kerry and put his hand behind his back.
"Huh?" Vetlill was a little confused.
"Hold me. โ
"But......" Wittelle hesitated. After all, how can there be a master who holds the hand of a slave?
"It's nothing, hurry, or they'll be back soon. โ
Vitrelle gritted her teeth and gently placed her hand on Leon's hand, running wildly with Leon.
"Whew......" Leon and Wittrell gasped as they sat on the floor of the dormitory.
"It's finally back. โ
Leon looked at Vitrelle, and Vitrelle looked at Leon, her hands still clasped tightly together, as if something was wrong.
"I'm sorry. Leon hurriedly let go of his hand.
"It doesn't matter. Wittel, a little shy, took the hand that had retracted into her chest with her other hand.
Neither of them knew what to say, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Coo~" There was a sudden cooing sound, and Wittelle lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Hungry?"
"Well, I haven't eaten since this morning. Vetel's voice was a little faint.
One of the most common methods used by slave traders to prevent slaves from escaping was to give them only the food they needed to sustain their lives, so that they did not have the extra strength to escape.
"Well, there's no food here. Well, you can eat some fruit first, and we'll go to the cafeteria together tomorrow morning to eat. โ
Leon got up, walked over to the table, and handed the apple to Wittel.
Vetelier did not dare to take the apples from Leon's hand, because these fruits were very precious in the eyes of their slaves, and they might not be eaten once in their lives.
"Take it. Leon shoved the apple into Vitrelle's hand and led her to the small room on the side.
Vetlill was a little flustered when she arrived at the side room. But think about it, when I decided to leave with Leon, I had already made up my mind that everything I had was Leon's, and now I just continued to do what I didn't do before.
Thinking of this, Wittelle was relieved, no matter how Leon treated her, she would not resist.
"This will be your room from now on, so you'll sleep here tonight. It's not too early, go to bed early. โ
With that, Leon turned and left, returning to his room.
Seeing Leon go straight back, Wittelle was not calm. Sitting on the bed, he thought: Lord Leon went back like this? Won't he continue what he didn't finish before? Could it be that he doesn't look down on himself at all, and what if he abandons himself in the future?
Vetlill fell asleep in a daze of thoughts.
