Chapter 4

 (Ciel POV)

I never knew that this was how the world looked. I looked at the city. There were many colors and objects that I could never have imagined seeing. Is that purple, is that one green. Oh. That one is a very pretty color. Oh there’s a cat. It looks so cute. Those flowers, they looks so pretty. I wonder what color that is. I walked up to the flowers as I looked at all the different types. I then picked up a flower that had a lighter color than the rest.

“That’s the color pink”

I looked at the man beside me. He was the master that I have longed to have in my time as a slave. Not only did he treat me well, he also gave me the gift of sight. Nothing in this world could have ever done what he did. That’s why my life is his to use. I smiled as I continued looking at the surrounding. Stores lined up the entire street. I saw many new things, from clothes all the way to the accessories. I never knew there would be different designs.

“Don’t go too far now. I wouldn’t want your sister freaking out on me”

I nodded as I continued to take short glimpse at the world around me. I then noticed that everyone was looking at me. They all seemed to be laughing while some only showed smiles. It felt awkward so I hid behind master. He began laughing as he patted me in the head.

“It’s ok Ciel. There just enjoying the happy atmosphere you’re making”

“Happy atmosphere?”

I don’t get what he means by that. Seeing my confusion, he pulled out a knife and handed it to me.

“Take a look at yourself and you’ll see”

Following his gaze, I looked at the knife and was kind of surprised. The reflection on the knife was a girl who had a smile on her face. Never have I seen myself smile much less know how I look like. I have the same hair color as my sister and my eyes were a bit lighter than hers too. What was this color again?

“If you’re curious, you have red hair and light red eyes. Also, don’t focus on your face. Focus on the smile your making”

I looked back at master. He seems to be smiling as he watched my surprised expression. His smile is so calming. His face was very attractive, but I still didn’t know what color his hair and eyes were. All I can say though is that as long as I can see his smile, I will always be happy.

(Bryan POV)

It’s been four days since I’ve been staying in this world. These past days have been pretty stressful, from designing city plans all the way to training the slaves. It was a lot of work. I didn’t care though. I can only imagine the future and how my city would rival any kingdom in this world. I also have plans in creating technology that’s never before seen. Of course, all of those would be confidential. I kept watching over Ciel as she walked through the market place for the first time. I couldn’t stop smiling. Every time she would turn around and show her smiling face, I felt my heart release its burden. It was like she was my daily cure of stress.

“Master what is that?”

She pointed at one of the stands. It was a bread stand that was filled with many delicacies. She was pointing at some type of fruit bread that had apple slices all around it.

“I don’t know but do you want to try it?”

She looked at me in shock. She’s always like this when I try to act nice to her. I wonder what she will say this time.

“I wouldn’t dare ask master for such a thing. I can’t just waste your money when I’m your slave”

The girl looked away from the bread, though you could hear the slight grumble in her stomach. I laughed as went up to the stand. It’s really hard not to spoil her when she’s this cute.

“I would like to purchase that bread for the young miss over here”

The store owner looked at Ciel with a heartwarming smile.

“No need to pay. This one’s on the house”

I was surprised, but the man winked at me and I finally understood. Even he had a weakness for adorable things.

“Here you go Ciel, fresh from the store”

She hesitated, but like a gerbil walking up to its food, she timidly took the bread and took a bite.

“uwahhhhhh”

She released an indescribably cute voice. Everyone in the entire district stopped. Men, woman, kids, elders. They all stopped as they stared at the adorable creature before them. I myself couldn’t help but stare, until I managed to snap myself back to reality.

“Ok, this is dangerous. Come on Ciel. We need to head to the barracks before someone kidnaps you”

“Ehhh, kidnap. Why would they do that master?

“Trust me. Only you wouldn’t understand, now lets go”

I quickly carried her in a princess carry and dashed to the training grounds. If we stayed any longer, I feel as if I wouldn’t be able to save her like last time.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

“Welcome back Master Bryan”

A girl greeted me in the front. Her name was Sara. She was one of the few combat specialist I managed to get from Baron Cleinard. She had dark blue hair and sky blue eyes. She had a fit physique with modestly sized breast. She had a good sense of balance and her combat abilities were exceptional. Out of all the slaves, she was the only one to have lasted a full minute against me.

“Hey Sara. What are you doing here? I thought training is still in session”

The girl sighed as she flopped to the ground. You can tell she looked very annoyed and angry.

“Well, we were being trained. That is until one of the Barons came in. He treated us as if we were sex slaves. He didn’t touch us in the field, but he did forcefully take two of the girls. Because we’re slaves we couldn’t do anything about… it…”

She started trailing off and began to shudder. I could sense fear from her, but I really need to hear more about this incident.

“Go on?”

I didn’t mean for my voice to sound dark, but I’m really starting to get pissed off right now.

“Ummm… well yeah. The… um… baron took two of the girls to his home. Some time has passed since then and…”

I raised my hand up and silenced her. She yelped as she hid behind Ciel. I then saw a passing patrol of guards pass by.

“HEY, YOU THERE!”

The guards immediately stopped and looked towards me. I then flashed towards them and gave them a smile. They shuddered and I saw sweat forming on their faces.

“There was a noble who passed by here. Where is he now?”

The man was clearly frightened but I had no time to dilly dally. I grabbed him by the shoulder and looked directly into his eyes.

“Tell me where that noble is right now if you know what’s good for you”

He didn’t even bat an eye.

“He went back into the noble’s district. His name is Baron Fey, leader of the phoenix order. His estate should be in the front of the entire district with a red and white banner. That’s all I know so please let me go”

I gave him a smile.

“Thank you for your services. After this I will reward you properly, but until then excuse me for I have business”

I then pulled out my knife. It was a combat knife with magical outputs linked inside. It had serrated edge at the back and sharp killing edge in the front. It’s very similar to the American bowie knife, though this one had a military grade hilt and a hand guard. It also has a slanted top so that blood wouldn’t get on my hands, meaning it won’t be slippery to use no matter how much blood I shed. The circuits also allows this knife to manifest my energy as well as my mana. In other words, a magic property combat weapon.

“Ciel, you are taking command. Send a messenger to the queen to meet with us here”

“Yes master”

A staff appeared out of nowhere. With the staff, she immediately hit the ground and huge summoning circle appeared. A girl with green clothes and glassy green eyes appeared. She then kneeled before Ciel.

“Master, what is your bidding”

“Send for the queen. Tell her that she is needed in the training grounds”

The girl bowed as she transformed into a bird. She then flew to the direction of the castle though by now I was also far away. I wouldn’t plan on missing my newly made appointment with the Baron.

________________________________________________________________________(Descriptive assault scene)

(Riesse POV)

How did this happen. Why am I here? All we were doing was training and before we knew it some crappy noble came in. Then Myra and I were suddenly thrusted into a carriage and now we were in some kind of mansion all tied up. I looked into Myra’s eyes only to see fear and anxiety. I can understand her fear. Even I felt my own heart beat rapidly. This was a typical day of a slave. No respect and no will. We were only seen as merchandise, an item to satisfy their owners. I tried to free my arms from the ropes. They were pretty tight but I managed to free my hands. From there, it took a couple more minutes before I managed to free my other arm. Perfect, now for the feet.

“What do you think you’re doing?”

I looked back and saw the noble. He was a big person who really had an unremarkable face. What really gets you though was his smell. He smelled as if he was constantly in brothel. A smell that did not fare in our situation. I quickly started to unknot the ropes on my legs.

*Uffff*

I felt a punch into my stomach. My entire body began to shut down as I began to cough out air. I then felt two hands grab me.

“NOOOOOOOO”

I tried to push him away, but instead all I hear was the tearing sounds of my clothes. My breast dangled from the torn area and the man showed a face similar to a dog in heat.

“Oh, quiet a lovely view”

His hand groped my breast and forcefully massaged it. I felt pain as he kept squeezing harder. I quickly punched him in the face as hard as I could hoping for a small chance to escape. He took it head on and a smile formed on his lips. I then felt a slap across my face. I blanked out for a moment but quickly came back to reality as the man pressed his lips against mine.

“I really love girls who try to fight”

He then released me and began sucking on my breast. I felt his tongue entwine itself on my nipple. This feeling of disgust washed itself over my entire body. I felt helpless.

“There we go, now be a good girl and hold still”

He ripped off my last remaining clothes. He then pulled down his own pants revealing a very disgusting sight. I tried get away from him, but he grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the wall. I tried to pry free of his hands but he only gripped tighter forcing me to stop breathing.

Please. Someone help

I felt tears stream down my eyes. My consciousness was beginning to fade. It was over.

“AGHHHHHHHH”

The man suddenly began screaming and rolling on the floor. I too fell to the floor gasping at the air that was taken from me. What happened? I looked up. My eyes were dazed but there was no mistaking the figure that stood above me.

“master…”

I managed to whisper those words as relief went throughout my entire body. Before I knew it, I lost consciousness and the darkness engulfed me.

_____________________________________________________________________________(torture scene start)

(Bryan POV)

Disgusting. I can’t even feel any sympathy at the man before me. The smell of semen emanated from him proving that this man was trash that is meant to be taken out. He was rolling on the floor as he held his arm, or what’s left of it any way. His hand could be seen from the distance and blood began soaking the room. I looked at Riesse who was now sleeping on the floor. I guess I made it in time, but I could see some bruises and saliva all over her body. I felt anger rising inside of me. I looked back at the man who managed to pull himself up. He grabbed at the stump of his hand and gritted his teeth in pain.

“GUARDS!”

He looked at me with threatening eyes. I stood there, partly amused at his action.

“You will pay for this. Once my men gets here, you will die a horrible death”

His tone sounded confident, but I on the other hand knew the truth. A couple of minutes passed and the guards never arrived. The man was beginning to sweat now.

“GUARDS, GUARDS. WHY IS NO ONE HERE? GUARDS”

He kept shouting and shouting which was really becoming annoying. I ran up to him and quickly grabbed his tongue. I then sliced my knife upwards, separating his tongue from his mouth.

“AHGHGHGHHGGH”

He screamed as blood gushed from his mouth. If this kept going he would die soon which will end the fun.

“[Command type 2: Target heal]”

A soft green light surrounded his tongue. Blood stopped pouring out but his tongue didn’t regrow. Off course, having trash talk would be worthless right? I should probably also heal his arm but he still needs to feel pain.

“[Command type 2: Target heal]”

His arm quickly fixed itself but his hand didn’t grow back.

“[Command type 1: Amplify]”

Before I knew it the man once again began screaming. He was grabbing his arm which seemed to make it worse as he screamed even louder.

“You’re guards won’t be coming to save you. Actually I had a fun time killing them all. Who knew that they were also having their fair share of your despicable game…”

Riesse and the other slave girl weren't the only victims. I still remembered the expressions of the girls I saw earlier when I entered one of the rooms. They were all dead, but the men kept on doing what they wanted with them. Of course I killed them all and made sure their pain was plentiful. Just that memory incited my anger even more. I began walking up to man slowly savoring the screams he made.

“Now, how should kill you. Should I torture you until you die or should I kill you with one slice? Frankly I would love to torture you, but because you didn’t do much to the girls I will give you a choice”

His eyes were wide open. I saw the fear in his eyes, the fear of death and the fear of the unknown. I playfully waved the knife in the air. His eyes seemed to dilate as he stared at the knife.

“Here, I’ll give you a demo of how your torture will feel like”

I then stabbed the sword into his hands. He screamed though now he began to make gurgling sounds.

“[Command type 1: Amplify]”

His body began to twitch. His face was filled with snot and tears. His expression was highly enjoyable. I then retracted my knife and healed the man once again. You could see that his eyes no longer bore life. He was now just a husk whose mind was broken beyond repair though I will fix that later on.

“Tsk… No fun. But at least you’ll make the perfect warning for those who hurt my family”

(End of torture scene)

I began writing a teleportation circle. It was a simple structure with three small additional circle on the edge. After I drew it out, I then began placing symbols in each of the smaller circles. I then wrote out the training grounds at the center of the entire drawing as I imagined the layout of the area. I then added mana into the circle which finally activated the teleportation circle. I placed the broken man first and he quickly disappeared. I then went to Riesse. Her face seemed so peaceful now.

“[Command type 2: Advanced Heal]”

Her entire body was instantly healed. Not only that, her clothes had woven itself together and were now fixed. I then placed her on the circle with a pillow on her head and she too disappeared. I looked for the other slave and sure enough she was on floor. She had a frightened look on her face. Well, that’s probably my fault. I immediately went to her and untied the ropes. She instantly backed away from me, her eyes filled with fear. I smiled trying to calm her down.

“It’s ok. I won’t hurt you. See, I’m putting away the knife right now”

I stashed my knife hoping she would calm down. She did, but I could still see her body shaking. This may take a while, but we really need to go. Plus I’m burning this entire place down.

“Tell me, what’s your name?”

She hesitated. I could see her try to think, probably give me a false name or something. I sighed.

“Look, I’m not going to hurt you. I know you saw something horrible, but believe me, I wouldn’t do it since you’re part of my family now. You may not trust me now, but somewhere in the future, I will make sure to keep you safe. So please, you have to believe in me even just a tiny bit”

I gave the girl as much space as she needed. You could see her mind wrapping around my words. She then nodded, finally reaching a conclusion.

“My name is Myra”

That was all she said. A pretty short and quick introduction but it’s better than nothing.

“Now then Myra. If you may, please step on that circle over there. Once you enter, you should be teleported back to the grounds. From there, you should meet some people. Once you meet them, I want you to tell them that I will be arriving shortly ok?”

The girl’s fears seemed to disappear. She quickly jumped into the circle and before I knew it she was gone. Now that she’s gone it’s time to clean up the remaining mess.

“[Command type 3: Fire wall]”

I burned the entire building to the ground. Of course I took the dead girls bodies with me. I couldn’t just let them burn with the trash so instead I quickly made a small cemetery outside the castle. I then buried the three girls and gave short prayers. I then felt the wind caress my face. I also began to feel the energy surround me and finally noticed that the three graves I made were glowing.

“[Command type 4: Spectral Vision]”

The land became darker, but that wasn’t what pulled my attention. Above each grave, three girls were standing. I could see tears in their eyes, yet all three were showing beautiful smiles towards me. As one, they all took a curtsy.

“Thank you mister for everything you've done for us”

With those words, they began fading into the sky. A small tear fell from one of them and finally nothing was left but the graves and the howling wind. I turned around and headed back for the city. Never did I noticed the blooming red flower that immediately grew from the girl's tear.

Authors note: From somewhere, I don't know where, I heard red symbolizes the color of life and hope. So kudos to those who can figure out the meaning of the red rose in this story :D. Just an FYI
