Beyond The World Plan

"Are you sure about your choice...?" (Slave Trader)

I turn around to him looking at his expression. From the outside he looks worry but from the inside he feels relieves if I really buy her. I also take a look at Vi and Lily, Lily looks do not know what will I do but she just let me do as I like.

"You do not have to worry about it. I am the one who make the choice. Moreover, you are happy that finally you can get rid of her."

I can see through your expression, you know? Well, I must say no one knows this even for me but let's say that this also a part of my 'Past Life' that stucked in my head.

"I understand that but....seems like your sister against your decision." (Slave Trader)

At that time I realized Vi's expression. She somehow didn't believe that there is a place like this in the city that she proud of. She thought this city is different from the others that this city against with the slaves concept, but she is wrong. It's all written in her face.

"Don't worry about my sis, she just not familiar with this after all. She won't against it so don't worry."

Vi who I changed her appearance to has the face featured similar like me right now is acting as my big sister. I have no other choice but to change her appearance because it will be a trouble if anyone knows the princess here. She has been believed that this city against slaves contract and now she is shocked with the reality that she found.

"Now, we can proceed our business. How much for her?"

I ask the slave trader because I can't start the negotiation without knowing the price first.

"She already in bad condition and I believe she will dead soon. I still not believing my eyes to see there is someone who will buy her." (Slave Trader)

Again with pointless chat. I cut his act and ask him to the point.

"Just tell me how much for her."

I pressure him to state the price. I worry about her condition, she already weak and being tortured by the disease that she has. In fact it is not a disease but a curse. Leave that aside because I will explain it at the end. I need to heal her first before it's too late.

"Looking at the quality she has right now, I will let her be yours with fifteen gold coins." (Slave Trader)

"I will take her for five gold coins."

I negotiate with him because the price doesn't make sense. Also I do not want wasting too much money too.

"That's too low, it is less than the first time I bought her." (Slave Trader)

"Her quality is low, even you said so. Then seven gold coins."

"Raising two gold coins won't make any change." (Slave Trader)

He still does not want to sell it to me even it already surpass my calculation for her.

"Then my last offer, sell her for ten gold coins and you will be free from her."

He looks down and thinking about my offer. It will cost more for him if he does not want to sell her since no one knows when she will death. I carefully looking at his expression and seems like I won this bet.

"All right, you got her. I will make the preparation. You can talk with her when I leave even though I am not sure if she can talk." (Slave Trader)

"Do your business and I will do my own."

With that, he opened the cage and back to the upstair to take the tools to complete the slave-master contract. I enter the cage and look at her. She has a long silver hair with a skin that can't be tell its color due to her rotten skin. Her green eyes already lost it lights. She already gave up on her life and doesn't mind what will happen to her anymore. I already check her status before I buy her and it's quite promising.

It such a waste since she has a great power inside her. What she need is to reshape her strength and then she can face a E-Rank monsters alone. The main problem she has right now is her mana that exceed its capacity. It probably the one to be blamed for her condition. I never see it in any books I have read. It's something that I do not know why it can be happen. But from her symptoms that happen in her body, she probably a child that called

'life corpse'.

'Life Corpse' is something like curse that can't be purify. No one knows who will caught by it and when the symptoms will come. Once you known as 'life corpse' then your life will come to the end. It's rarely happen so right now not much who knows about that. She probably caught when she in her normal state and gradually the symptoms appear. Well, I do not know if it's true or wrong. The one who knows that is only her and the slave trader but seems he won't talk about that. I lift her head to looks toward me.

"Don't worry, I will make you suffer no longer."

I said that to give her some hope but seems like she doesn't hear it at all. There is no trace of change on her face, she already give up on her life.

Not long after that, the slave trader come back with some tools.

"Now we will begin the contract ritual. Please drop your bloods a little on this bowl." (Slave Trader)

Inside the bowl are the black-colored waters that full of magic. I pick my dagger and make my finger wound a bit to drop the bloods. Now he approach the girl and draw a circle on her left hand. The circle start glowing and then gradually fades. He remove the shackles that bound her and turn his face to me.

"With this the contract has been made. Now for the payment." (Slave Trader)

I know this will come so I have prepared it beforehand. I give him the bag that contain the payment we agreed before with a little extra. He that knows that give a merchant-like smile to me.

"Thank you for coming. I will waiting for you to come back soon." (Slave Trader)

Like hell I would come back here! My goal have been achieved now the last thing to do is heal this girl.

We finally out from the slum area and currently hiding ourselves in the dark alley. I do not want anyone knows what will I do. I hold Vi's hand and change her back to her normal appearance.

"I still not believing that there is kind of place in there." (Violet)

She can't hide her disappointment any longer. She already know that in some places in this country allowing the slave system but it never come to her mind for her own town until a while ago.

"Looking at the place that well-maintaned, I am sure that some nobles had come to there." (Lily)

Lily who more or less have experinced it no longer surprise with it. She probably have guessed it before.

"Sometimes the reality is hard so please get used of it."

There is nothing left that I can say about this matter. Nothing to hide anymore so it is useless to give her a word to comfort her. Letting a long sigh from her mouth, she regain her composure.

"Then, what will we do to her. Where do you want to keep it?" (Violet)

'It' huh? Well I guess there is no wrong about that since a slave can be consider as a thing too.

"We will heal her. For the place we don't have any choices beside the castle."

If we use an inn then we will make more trouble. I also do not know where to keep her in other places.

"Good choices but, how we can make it through. If we come with her out of blue then you probably will be kicked out." (Violet)

"That's why we came here."

A dark mist wrapping my body and no longer after that, it is fading and there is two of me inside.

"With this, we can do that easily. We must hurry before it's getting dark."

I make my clone carry Cecyl on his back and use [Stealth] to hide both of them. We came back to the main road and heading to the castle.

It's night already and we currently having a dinner. For Cecyl and my clone, both of them are currently in a room that Vi told me as my room. He currently keeping her condition stable and analyze the cause for her abnormal state.

"So how is the tour?" (Eric)

The king suddenly ask our travel in the city this day. I bring out my smile and let out my opinion.

"Overall it's a beatiful"

I am not lying. Even thought here is a slum hiding here, this city still a place that can be consider as beautiful at the first place.

"It's good if you like it." (Eric)

The king also respond it with smile. Looking at the table again, seems like Asahi didn't come for dinner. I wonder where he is.

"I almost forgot, the party will be held next week so starting tomorrow it will be busy. I hope you can understand it well if there is many peoples come here by tomorrow." (Eric)

So it is already decide, huh? Well, I hope there is no more trouble that will come until the party end.

We finished our meal and geat back to mh room. The clone I made doing his job well. I make the clone came back to me. His memory is being shared with me. He continously analyze her body and her status to make sure that she not die yet.

"So, how is her condition?" (Lily)

"This is bad, her mana is out of control. Her mana didn't circulate correctly. Maybe this is the reason why she become like this."

Looking at her condition from outer and inside, it's clearly that this is the reason of 'life corpse'.

"So what will we do?" (Violet)

This thing is never happened before so it will be hard to move. I don't even know how to start.

"All right, it have been decided."

I approach her and hold her hand.

"It will be hurt but please bear with it. I will help you to return you to normal."

She not moving a single tip nor changing her expression. She clearly in another world that only her inside.

"[Life Drain]"

I close my eyes and begin to concentrate on my skill. I do not want to suck her HP, only mana that will be s.u.c.k.e.d out. Draining her mana until a safe point while restoring my mana and receiving her memory, this is the first step to heal her.

Through her memory I understand what was happened to her until we met recently. But in the middle of it, it is cut out. The moment she decide to thrown away her hope and gave up on her life, I can not receive any memory from her again. Even when we met, she can consider as death even though her body still alive. This is even worst than I expected. Releasing my hand from her, I sit down on the chair and begin to work.

"Vi, please continously heal her. Lily, if something is wrong with her then please tell me."

Both of them give a nod and begin to work as I say before. Please hang on! It will take some times but I will definitely save you, Cecyl!
