Chapter 16 Isn’t It
「……Surprised?」
Yeah, to your inconsiderateness, telling people things that will only make only bad things happen.
I expressionlessly tilted my head and saw Silk, while bearing killing intent in my mind.
It’s not something like ‘because you already know, I can’t have you live’ development, right? Right?
W-well, it’s not that slaves are rare.
I hear that it is legal in this country, and many sell off children because they can no longer feed them. Fortunately, I wasn’t sold to a slave merchant because of ikemen face and feigning innocent… it turns up well.
F-for now, it should be safe if I close my ears and don’t ask anything…!
When I’m trying to raise my hand….
『You absolutely have to ask it!』
The cursed sword’s headache exploded!
Ugooooooo!? My heaaaaad!!
If you want to hear it, do it alone!!
「…There’s something more surprising, you know?」
Silk looks up at me.
S-stooop!! I don’t want to hear it anymore! If I hear it, I’ll be involved in the trouble you have!!
Why did you drive me that far….
Nhoooooooooooooooooooo!! Danger material followeeeed!
Formerly noble slaves, that’s a there-was-absolutely-something-happened line, isn’t it!? A dangerous line isn’t it!?
Because it’s a downfall, right!? It was obvious that there was something happened to that!
Also, Silk doesn’t look like a person that makes a blunder. Maybe.
That means, it was injustice or something like that, and if this cursed sword hears something like that….
『Let’s hear the story. And then, if it’s something we can help, let’s help her with our best.』
See…. I knew it….
Despite an inorganic material that can’t be understood its facial expression or something like that, it seems his solid determination comes in my brain.
If you are alone, you can do as you like, but I won’t accompany you.
「……My family was a small noble, but my dad and mom were kind and loving… the whole family lived together happily. That was my happiest time.」
Silk face relaxed seemed nostalgia.
Hee. I have never lived with my family happily, so I don’t really know that feeling. If you talk to someone who knows the importance of family, they might feel sympathy, but I don’t understand at all. It’s no use.
「They were kind to the citizens too, they also made the tax cheap, I think they were adored. 『Devote yourself for the peoples as a noble.』was what my father always said.」
What’s with that father?
……It’s bad, I really can’t understand.
A noble is someone who born with authority, a super lucky human. Not using that authority, noble my ass.
If it’s me. I’ll abuse that power to the degree of not being resented.
「But, it was annoying for the nobles around. Because they are being compared with dad by their citizens and being ill-spoken…. Those who birth with authority and think it was theirs while using it, they hate us… they detest father.」
Some people don’t like being compared, but not only that, they are also being ill-spoken and looked down, of course, they won’t feel good. Well, it’s their fault ruling to the point that the citizens judging them like that though.
Please give me authority. I’ll show you how the real reign is….
Yeah, such a reign that I can live leisurely….
『What…. To think there are a noble that like Alistar in this country…….』
I’m not a person that makes a blunder so other people know what I did!!
『That’s not the point though….』
That’s the only point though….
If you don’t let it exposed and act like a good person, even if you abuse your power it will turn out well you know.
It’s me, the one who have feigning innocent and live as an ikemen, who says it, there’s no doubt about it.
「From there, it was so fast. My father and mother were slaughtered and were falsely charged… My family, Helen household was demolished. I was being sold as a slave.」
Is that so? It’s a rapid development, but I don’t feel sympathy.
Well, that’s life, isn’t it? The world is wide, you know.
『For such things…! Such things, there’s no way I can overlook it!!』
However, the cursed sword doesn’t have the same idea as me. Why we can’t come to mutual understanding, aren’t I chosen as a suitable person?
「I was surprised when the one who bought me was Primo Zarate…… the noble who killed my father and mother.」
Isn’t she too thoughtless? I think she’s too much absent-minded….
『T-that is…!!』
Silk that talked expressionlessly and an angry cursed sword.
Uwaa. What a vulgar, that Primo.
Bring down his enemy’s daughter as a slave, and then buy her…… he’s too rotten inside.
Is he pleased when looking at Silk that suffering from being worked hard? Or is he use her for his desire because she’s a good-looking girl?
Well, she seems to be a type that will bite her own tongue and die, so that’s not it. Maybe he wants to see her suffering more than dying.
Ohh, scary. It seems I’ll meet that fate too if I get too close, I have to make sure he doesn’t put his eyes on me.
「That, must be hard….」
It’s not that I think so though.
That’s life, isn’t it? Well, I don’t want it though.
「…I’m sorry. Even though you’ll be troubled how to react if I say it.」
Silk lays her face down said so.
Then, don’t talk about it if you understand. Now I know some unnecessary information.
This is not a ‘silencing’ development, right? It’s alright, isn’t it?
『It’s not time for thinking about trashy things! We need to help her…!』
The cursed sword, just as I thought says something like that …
No, it’s impossible. I clearly declared so.
『You’re… being trash to that extent!!』
His anger that stronger than anger until now is transmitted. Scary.
I’m not a trash. It’s true that I don’t want to help, but even if I want to, there’s nothing I can do.
Yes. I’m not just saying that I can’t help with just my cuteness.
『W-why…!?』
……Do you really not understand?
What this cursed sword said is probably want to help Silk released from slavery….
The slavery system is a legal system that is neither prohibited nor illegal, you know?
Well, if there is evidence that this Primo guy killed her parents, you can condemn this wicked noble… but nothing you can do about slavery. It is impossible.
If I had a great power that’s equal to that of noble, who could meddle with this country system, I might do something about slavery, but I’m just a person from a poor village that couldn’t do anything.
I don’t care about you getting fired up by your righteous indignation, but what can I do against the country system and nobility with powerful authority?
There’s nothing, I’ll just get disposed of secretly. It means that you should know your social position.
『T-that’s…….』
The cursed sword leaks a shocked voice.
Too bad. I, the one whom you parasitizing, am just a good-natured ikemen who doesn’t have much power.
Hey, you should leave me and do it with a suitable person that has power. How about Magali? I think she has a good personality and is suitable for the Holy Sword.
For the time being, when I was thinking about forcing it to Magali, Silk began to talk again.
「…but, I have a dream.」
「A dream……?」
I’m not interested….
However, I won’t deny you for having a dream.
『No way… you look like a guy who will say ‘look at reality, not dream’ though…. 』
Well, I might say that if you only looking at dream… but, if that’s an objective then I don’t particularly care.
Even I have a dream… no, an objective to catch a rich and sweet girl.
「……Yes. Entering the Royal Capital Theater Troupe and doing a drama that moves many people’s heart…. That is my dream since I was little.」
While keeps expressionless, a strong decision can be seen from Silk’s facial expression.
Is that so…. I’m not interested though. Or rather, what is the Royal Capital Theater Troupe?
『If I’m not mistaken, it was the biggest and best theater troupe in this country. Because it is located in the capital city and has its own stage, it is a theater troupe that runs at the top of many theater troupes. There is also history and tradition.』
The fact that you know about it even has been abandoned for hundreds of years, which means that it has been around that long.
……Is it something that you can join with just practice alone in such a dim place? Isn’t it impossible?
It’s better to teach her here about reality and get me out of practice….
「I’m busy during the day, but I can practice at night. By accumulating effort steadily, I’ll someday….」
Silk looking up at the night sky.
In the theater filled with many people, you see yourself wearing a gorgeous costume and having fun playing theater, I wonder it that’s what reflected in those eyes?
「Isn’t that hard?」
「…I don’t have much time to sleep」
If you look at the expressionless Silk, you won’t know how tired she is.
But soon she shook her head.
「But, my dream. I’m doing my best for my dream, I don’t think it’s hard.」
Silk’s expression was like that of a strong human with a solid mind.
Hmm. Well, It’s not that I don’t understand.
『No way…….』
Why did you react, cursed sword?
Even I don’t miss everyday efforts for my dreams. Yes, to catch a rich and sweet girl, I’ve been doing this fucking unpleasant feigning innocent since I have awareness.
I will curse the world if it not rewarded…!
「…Also, recently I met Alistar. This time is very fun.」
Silk hold my sleeves a bit and said something not admirable at all.
I’m painful and can’t help it.
「…Alistar.」
「Hmm?」
Silk turned not her acting, but her real smile faintly to me.
「Will you accompany me until my dreams come true?」
Hah… I don’t want to.
Even though I didn’t like going out to the dangerous capital’s night and accompany her drama practice, and now I know her background is so dark, is there someone who wants to accompany her?
There will be trouble. It is important to fade out quickly here….
『At least… at least, help her this much…!』
Guaaaaaaaaaa!?
Headache again,you bastaaaaaaaaaard!!
「Y-yeah…….」
I disappointingly yielded again.
Silk laughed happily to my response.
I’m unhappy and can’t help it….
『From now on, let’s collect the evidence that Primo who has killed her parents and release her!』
I startled even more to what the cursed sword say in my brain.
Is he an idiot?
Not a chance. If being found out, I’ll be killed like Silk’s parents.
Moreover, because I am not a noble like them, I will be killed irresponsibly.
I don’t want that though?
Aaaaaaahhhh!! I understand! !
At this time, neither I nor Silk noticed there was a person who watching us.
