555 Secrets
"My name is Leslie, and I'm a girl born in the ghetto," explained the young girl, wrapped in a wide bathrobe, sitting in front of Raymond with her legs together and her hands on her knees. "Even if it wasn't for Viara-sama's request, I was willing......"
Leslie, who was discovered to have wizard potential from the slums of Crow Castle five years ago, has become one of the many disciples of Viara Witch's Sect, but even with the supply of resources, Leslie has stopped at the level of a first-level wizard apprentice, and is actually the type that has been abandoned.
Therefore, Leslie, who had been summoned by the witch Viara before Raymond's arrival, accepted without hesitation when she was told that she was eligible to approach Raymond and try to approach Raymond to sleep with him if she wanted to.
Leslie, who became a little agitated as she spoke, stood up in vain and threw her wrapped bathrobe on the ground, revealing her naked body in front of Raymond. "Lord Raymond, I'm only sixteen years old! and my body has never been touched by a man before, I'm clean!"
In just a few words, as if it had exhausted Leslie's strength, her nasal voice became a little heavy, and her eyes were a little red.
"As a disciple of Lord Viara, don't you have a better choice?" Raymond was puzzled, and although he understood the reason for the scarcity of high-level wizard descendants, he still had doubts about Leslie's urgency. "You're still so young, you have a lot of options even if you don't want to advance......"
"No! I don't have a choice!" Leslie, whose fair skin had turned a little pink, immediately interrupted Raymond's consolation and cried. "If I can't change my situation within half a year, I can only become the plaything of the fire crow, and no one can shelter me anymore......!
With her hands on her face, she sat down in her chair as she spoke. She sobbed and told her what had happened.
As a beautiful girl from the slums, if she doesn't have the potential to be a wizard, then maybe she can have her own life, at worst, she can become a caged bird of some noble, but she can live a worry-free life.
However, after receiving the wizard's enlightenment, after she was confirmed to have lost the possibility of continuing to advance, she not only lost the opportunity to leave the wizard tower, but also could only accept the fate of becoming other official wizards' bedmates, and even become a test item!
"Two years ago, the Fire Raven made a request to Lord Viara. I'm going to be a fertility machine like the girls before me, and I'm going to be tested for the birth of the Ravens," Leslie, who had changed her tone a little, trembled as she said this. "Only by becoming your woman can I escape such a fate. Please......"
With tears in her eyes, Leslie's face turned pale as if she had lost all her strength. His legs slid limply and fell to the ground. A plea was issued.
"Could it be that being my woman will allow you to get rid of that fire crow?" Raymond, who frowned, couldn't help but think of the appearance of the giant fire crow in his mind, and the sense that the fire crow with a gentleman's grade gave him before was still very good. "And what exactly do you mean by fertility tests?"
Leslie, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head at the sound, but with fear on her face, her eyes did not focus on Raymond, but nervously scanned the room.
Following Leslie's line of sight, he observed Raymond in the room again. Soon understood what she meant, and after casually casting an isolation force field to envelop the two of them, Raymond opened his mouth at her. "Well, even if Lady Viara is around, she can't tell what you said!"
"Thank you, thank you, Lord Xie's understanding!" Leslie's eyes swelled with gratitude. Only then did he pull the bathrobe that had been thrown aside, and only after covering his body did he open his mouth to explain.
In order to have more descendants with wizard potential, the fire crow with the strength of a first-level crystallized wizard has asked Lord Viara for many human girls who are not qualified to become official wizards for nearly a hundred years, turning them into breeding machines.
And these girls, who only have the strength of wizard apprentices, end up giving birth to some strange offspring for the fire crow at the cost of their lives.
"Those ugly and intelligent monsters only take orders from the fire crow, but the always kind Lord Viara ignores them," Leslie, who was trembling all over her body, raised her head and looked into Raymond's eyes, her expression becoming dazed. "If I can be accepted by you, then I still have a glimmer of hope, even if you leave here, Lord Reginord can give me protection......"
Hearing this, Raymond's Raymond already had some guesses in his mind, but he continued to interrogate. "Then why don't you directly ask for reginord's asylum?"
"Reginor is a gentleman, but he can't disobey Lord Viara's orders, so this is the only way I can choose to obtain Lord Reginord's protection after you leave. Leslie, with a gleam on her face, slowly stood up from the ground, obviously understanding Raymond's concerns. "Lord Viara can even sacrifice her only daughter, so a girl like me who has no future can only meet you in this way!"
Ignoring the resentment in Leslie's tone, Raymond, who was keenly aware of the problem contained in it, immediately asked. "Mistress Viara's only daughter, what's going on!"
"Because this is my only chance, please forgive me for being unreasonable," as if she was struggling, a bitter Leslie appeared on her face, and the expression on her face finally became firm, and she suddenly made a condition. "I can tell you everything, but in exchange for your favor to me?
There was a hint of despair in her dark and clear eyes, but Leslie's performance made Raymond smile. "If it is within my means, I can grant your request, and I will try to keep you safe!"
"Sabina is the only daughter of Lord Viara, but because Lord Viara must have the help of a second-level wizard, Sabina, who is not fully ready, is forced to break through the bottleneck of the second-level wizard," Leslie, whose expression became firm, began to speak without hesitation. "Sabina cried and begged her for three days before entering the chamber, but in the end, she was sent to the chamber by Lord Viara for a hopeless promotion, and her death was entirely caused by Viara!"
A shocked Raymond appeared in his eyes, and he was a little incomprehensible about what she said.
Because it is extremely difficult for the descendants of high-level wizards to be born, any descendant will be carefully cared for, and in Raymond's perception, although her true character should be a little indifferent, she definitely does not look like a person who can make such a cold-blooded move.
Therefore, after Raymond pondered for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and questioned. "Why would Viara do that?"
"After so many years of hard work, Viara-sama's only thought is to leave the Corner of Despair," Leslie, who also had doubts on her face, her tone became a little uncertain. "It is said that she has been waiting for the generation of a second-level wizard, but all those who attack the second-level wizard either fail or die in the process of promotion, and none of them can succeed!"
Leslie, who wiped the tears from her face fiercely, raised her neck and looked at Raymond again, revealing an expectant expression. "Lord Raymond, you ......"
Raymond, who already had some guesses in his mind, immediately raised his finger at Leslie, stopping what she was about to say. "Go back to your room and rest in peace now, and I'll give you an explanation when I figure everything out!"
Leslie, whose eyes immediately flashed with brilliance, immediately wrapped her bathrobe tightly, stood up and bowed to Raymond.
Looking at the back of Leslie who opened the door and left without saying a word, a smile finally appeared on Raymond's face...... (To be continued......)
