Reacting belatedly to Sesenia’s comment, the trader man hastily waved his hands.
“Oh no, it’s not that the magic device is faulty. Absolutely not.”
“Now I’m getting worried. Hmm. Was this a fair deal? I suddenly wonder if Rohan was too easily fooled.”
“Don’t worry about it,” he reassured.
He quickly took off a ring he was wearing and placed it in Sesenia’s hand, seemingly fearful that she might change her mind. His actions were urgent.
“This ring can control the magic device around his neck. If he tries to attack or do something dangerous, just squeeze the hand wearing the ring, and it will send a shock to his neck. Now, you should take him and go.”
The trader hastily opened the cage door.
“Miss, this trader is too suspicious. Could there be something wrong with the magic device?” Lizbeth muttered loudly, as if she wanted it to be overheard.
The trader, seeming like someone eager to get rid of trash, was more hurried than ever, probably feeling it was hard to get more money out of the situation.
Meanwhile, the man inside the cage stepped out. Having been crouching for a long time, he approached Sesenia slightly hunched over, then suddenly turned towards the trader as if to attack him.
“Stop.”
Instead of using the magic device, Sesenia halted the man with her voice. He looked at her with eyes full of resentment.
“I can’t forget what that man did. Even if I leave here, I must kill him first.”
“No, you can’t. You belong to me now. If something happens to you, I’m responsible, and I can’t worry about him getting hurt. Just come with me.”
The man looked even more resentful, as if hating the person stopping him more than his captor.
“I am…!”
“Don’t worry. I’m not saying never. If you really want to kill him, you can do it after you’re freed.”
The man, who had been crouching like an animal, reluctantly dropped his head to the floor, lips trembling with frustration.
‘I feel a bit guilty for forcing him, but now I own him,’ Sesenia thought.
She stopped him for a reason. That trader seemed like the type to make a big fuss and demand compensation if a slave attacked him.
“…”
“Haha, you make it sound like I can kill him after being freed. Miss, it sounds like you’re saying it’s okay to kill him later.”
“If he’s done wrong, he deserves to die. Of course. Don’t worry. He’s my slave for now. But after he’s freed… I can’t promise anything. Let’s go.”
The trader stood agape, astonished at Sesenia’s words, but she smiled innocently like a child.
Eventually, the man, realizing what Sesenia meant, slowly changed his expression.
“Really… Can I kill him later?”
“Of course. I won’t care what you do after you’re free.”
She wouldn’t mind if he used his anger to destroy the slave traders.
Sesenia looked at the tall man and then led the way.
“Wait a moment. Those words…”
The slave trader tried to say more but they didn’t listen anymore.
Soon after leaving the oppressive atmosphere of the slave market, Sesenia turned her attention to Rohan.
“Rohan.”
“Yes?”
“Get a carriage. Let’s go to our warehouse.”
“The warehouse suddenly? No, rather, what are you planning to do with this slave?”
Rohan, who had been obedient in front of the slave trader, now looked determined.
“I’m going to use him as a warehouse manager. He looks lean but muscular, he should be able to manage the Hephria cotton well.”
“Is that really the reason you bought a slave, just for that?”
She didn’t need to reveal her full intentions right now.
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Why can’t it be done, Rohan?”
“No, it’s not that it can’t be done, Miss. It’s just… if the intention was to hire for such a task… wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just employ someone? A slave is…”
Sesenia quietly looked at the slave following behind us.
“It’s good for multiple reasons.”
“Multiple reasons? I support everything you do, Miss, but I still wish you wouldn’t do anything dangerous.”
“Is buying a slave a dangerous thing?”
“Yes, it is. You’re dealing with someone who’s unmanageable and has to wear a magic device. That’s inherently risky.”
Watching the hesitant Rohan, Sesenia shook her head.
“The scariest thing in the world is not slaves. It’s people who pretend to be fine and go about their lives.”
Like the emperor who killed me, like my sister. Like my father who cornered me. Her mouth turned bitter, as if chewing poison.
“Miss… but that man…”
He should have understood by now, but Rohan persisted.
“What’s so scary about it? A dog with a leash, is it that frightening?”
Defiantly, Sesenia approached the man, stood on tiptoe, and stroked his hair. The man, who had been mixing informal and formal speech, now humbly turned his head towards her.
Like a real dog.
Rohan’s mouth dropped open in astonishment.
“He listens well.”
“…But you don’t listen to me at all.”
“Yep. There’s nothing to worry about. If a dangerous situation arises, Rohan will save us. So stop hating him. He’s lived his life being hated as a slave; we should treat him well. He’s now part of the family.”
“There must be a reason behind this, right?”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
