"Hey, Rina. Do you know when the others are getting back?"(Selen)
"Hm? Oh, those 3 are probably already back at the castle."(Rina)
"What!? Then why don't we teleport there!?"(Selen)
"Eh? But I don't want tooo. I wanna just walk and not use mana."(Rina)
"(Dead Pan) Because you're feeling lazy you don't want to expend the effort to go straight to your home. Did I get that right?"(Selen)
"Mm, kinda. You see magic outside of the ice element takes a small tax on my mind and I'm already mentally exhausted so, I'd rather just walk. Though if th-(Confused) why did you stop?"(Rina)
Just as I was explaining the drawbacks of magic Selen stopped and started following something with her eyes. When I followed her line of sight, I found she was staring at a cart transporting criminal slaves.
"Rina. What is that?"(Selen)
"It's just some slave merchant trans-"(Rina)
"SLAV-"(Selen)
*Flash*
*Flash*
I then teleported us to the top of a tower in the castle because she was going to make a ruckus. I then walked over to the edge to watch the sunset.
"Hurp, W- Hurp."(Selen)
*Snap*
"*Flash* Better?"(Rina)
"*Nod* Yeah. And warn me when you suddenly do that!!"(Selen)
"(Annoyed) I would have if you weren't about to cause a ruckus in the middle of the damn street."(Rina)
"Ah, right. SLAVES!? DO YOU KNOW HOW UNETHICAL THAT IS!!!"(Selen)
"*Eye roll* I wouldn't expect a kid like you to understand such things."(Rina)
"I'm older than you! How am I the kid!?"(Selen)
"(Dead Pan) Because you are getting upset about something so dumb as some slaves."(Rina)
"(Angry) Well, I'm sorry that I'm not okay with enslaving people!"(Selen)
"And neither am I."(Rina)
"Then why do you act so causal about seeing that!"(Selen)
"(Cold) Because I know that they deserve what they got. You see in this country slavery is mostly illegal. The only exception is criminals of the highest order. Like mass murder, raping a child, illegal slave trading, treason, and illegal use of slavery magic which also comes with the penalty of having their horns broken off. To name the ones off the top of my head.
Be it noble or commoner, none are exempt. So, stop crying over something stupid."(Rina)
"(Pissed) No one dissevers enslavement!"(Selen)
"*Sigh* Come here for a second."(Rina)
"(Mad) Why?"(Selen)
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
Even though she said that she still came over to me.
"Now bend down."(Rina)
"(Annoyed) Is this really necessary?"(Selen)
Even though she was clearly annoyed she still complied. I then bit my finger making her give me a confused look. Before she could ask questions, I drew our insignia on her forehead.
[Slave Seal]
*Flash*
"(Confused) What just happened?"(Selen)
"How do you feel?"(Rina)
"(Confused) Fine? Why are you asking?"(Selen)
"*Nod* Alright, then your first lesson on this world will begin. Sit."(Rina)
"(Confused) Wh-. WHAT THE HELL!?!?"(Selen)
Pfft!
Once I gave the command she sat like a dog and was very confused.
"Wh-What the hel-"(Selen)
"Paw."(Rina)
She then gave me her hand.
"Sto-"(Selen)
"Speak."(Rina)
"Arff."(Selen)
Pfft, this is so fun.
"(Pissed) I'm no-"(Selen)
"Roll over."(Rina)
She then rolled over and was laying on her back like a puppy.
Pfft, oh god I really shouldn't be doing this. Pfft, but i-it's too funny. Ahahahaha!
"(Pissed) I-"(Selen)
"Beg."(Rina)
*Whimper*
She then gave me puppy dog eyes and started whimpering.
Ahahahahaha! This is hilarious! I can't, I can't! And my god is she adorable with puppy eyes!
"Pfft, y-you can Pfft, stop now."(Rina)
"*Glare* (Annoyed) If you're going to laugh just laugh. It feels more demeaning if you hold it in."(Selen)
"Pfft, ahahahahahahahaha! Y-You should have seen your face! It looked both ridiculous and adorable at the same time! Ahahahaha!"(Rina)
"(Annoyed) Are you just going to keep laughing at me or will you tell me the point of all this."(Selen)
"Pfft, sorry, sorry. I just pfft, couldn't help it. *Wipes tear* Hoo, haven't had a laugh like that in a while. Ahem, anyway the reason I did this was to show you just how severe of a punishment slavery in this country is. I mean as you have experienced you lose complete control of your own body when the master gives an order.
Hell, it can even rewrite memories, thoughts, and much more. But, well that's not very important. What you need to remember is that its survival of the fittest. Don't be soft just because they look pitiful or something. Cause once you do, you'll get stabbed in the back. Well, that's not to say everyone's evil. Just don't show mercy to those who bear their fangs and don't just blindly trust someone."(Rina)
"So, you're saying I shouldn't trust you then?"(Selen)
"*Shrug* You can see it that way. Though I have no plans to ever harm you and seeing as how Hail genuinely cares for you, and I wouldn't want to hurt her. Though *Glare* break her heart I'll be sure you'll wish you never met me. I can't have my little sis crying because you were cheating on her."(Rina)
I then 'accidentally' let out some killing intent and she went even whiter than normal and started trembling but, even still she never took her eyes off of mine.
"(Resolute) I-I won't. I-I promise t-to do my b-best f-for her."(Selen)
Even though she was stuttering I could still hear the conviction in her voice and see the resolution in her eyes. I then retracted my killing intent, and her legs almost gave out under her. She let out a relieved sigh.
"Hmph, I see you're resolute. *Smile* Sorry for the little test. Just wanted to make sure you had the resolution to love and stick around that reckless idiot."(Rina)
"*Sigh* (Annoyed) So do you do this to every one of your sister's partners or is it just."(Selen)
"*Scratches cheek* (Embarrassed) Hehe, would you believe me if I said this wasn't the first time, I did this?"(Rina)
"(Shocked) You didn't."(Selen)
"(Embarrassed) Well, if I had a nickel for every time, I enslaved my sisters' girlfriends I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but, it's weird it happened twice."(Rina)
"*Facepalm* I hate how I understood that reference. *Shakes head* Anyway, are you going to release this thing or what?"(Selen)
"*Shrug* I will if you come over here and show me your forehead."(Rina)
"*Glare* (Suspicious) You're not going to do something weird again, ...right?"(Selen)
"*Shrug* I don't plan on but, if you don't want to be released feel free to stay there."(Rina)
She was hesitant and did let her guard down but, she still complied.
*Flick*
[Dispel]
*Shatter*
I then heard the signature glass-shattering sound that the seal makes when broken.
"*Rubs forehead* (Annoyed) Oww, was that necessary?"(Selen)
"*Shrug* No, but I felt like it. Now leave me in peace so I can sleep."(Rina)
"(Confused) You're not going inside?"(Selen)
"*Shakes head* Nah, I feel like sleeping under the stars tonight."(Rina)
"(Anxious) But then how am I supposed to find my way around?"(Selen)
"*Yawn* I'm just going to send you to the front of the castle."(Rina)
"Wa-"(Selen)
*Snap*
*Flash*
I then used teleport on her.
{Hail go get your girlfriend. She's at the front.}(Rina)
{M'kay, you going to your room?}(Hail}
{Mm, no I'm going to sleep outside.}(Rina)
{Alright, then night.}(Hail)
{Night.}(Rina)
I then cut the connection.
"*Yawn* *Stretch* Today's been one hell of a day."(Rina)
*Flash*
I then turned into my normal form and took out the giant dog bed I had made. I then curled up and drifted to sleep under the cool breeze and gradually darkening sky.
