As i walked aimlessly down the corridor i thought about the question hestia asked me about...i truly have no dreams or ambition to do anything most of my acts were purely decided by interest or need like sera who i could have just ignored.I also started working at cecilias house because of information i could have very well just left after taking in enough info but i stayed because i really didn't want to think of anything else it was convenient and also more interesting that way i would always think but was it really ?

I thought so while i marched through the corridor not minding anything that passed me by and as i continued walking i noticed a tower of blankets coming my way i was a bit too late to react and evade it because i was spacing out i also didn't think of using my time ability stop it resulting the person who carried the tower of blankets to fall onto the ground.

-ahh sorry ! i am sorry please forgive my carelessness master...

The voice was a bit soft and high too and i could see her small statue indicating her age she was probably only 8 to 10 years old maybe even less who knows.She had long black hair and white skin without any abnormality in it this already showed she must be very cute but because she was kneeling in front of me i couldn't quiet see her face so i started to pick up the blankets that were scattered on the ground folding them neatly into place.

-ehh...no you don't need to..

The little girl in question seemed a bit confused baffled even as she saw me pick up the blankets folding them back to their original she also snapped out of her confusion and started helping and when she raised her head i could see a familiar face...she was the girl i saw in the streets who was auctioned off by that obese guy..hmm i wonder how she ended up here.

We didn't speak or anything and just continued to pick up the blankets she more than once seemed like she wanted to stop me from helping her but always held it in on the next second momentarily stopping her work and looking at my mask.

After another few minutes we finally finished and completed the tower again as i raised it up with my two hands the little girl seemed to be a little confused what i was doing so i spoke to her.

-Aren't you coming ? i don't know where to place these things lead me.

The little girl once again seemed baffled for a second as she gaped at me wide-eyed but she didn't say anything and just took the lead we were currently walking the direction from where i came from but i wasn't dissatisfied or anything and just kept following her she more than once took couple glances at me over all throughout the walk we didn't exchange a single word even thought the girl more the once tried to say something but failed making her a bit awkward she had some signs of hollowed eyes but not so much since the last time i had seen her.

-How did you end up here ?

I asked out of the blue she even jumped when i asked so suddenly and asked me with fake respect in her voice.

-excuse me master ?

-I am asking how you ended up in this place ?

The girl seemed a bit surprised by my question but all she did over the time we just met was getting surprised one after another she seemed a bit awkward walking with strangers or communicating in general she probably got lost choosing her words because she needed to be careful with them so i told her.

-No need to be polite with me i don't care if you insult me or curse me with your speech i won't be offended by it.

The declaration didn't as much as calm her down as i expected it be but it worked somewhat as she gave me a wryly smile as she said.

-I...i was sold in the auction...

-Its not what i wanted to know i wanted to know how you ended up getting captured did they kidnap you ? Blackmail ? or something else ?

The girl looked sad when i asked her that i could even see tears about to form but she quickly wiped her eyes as she told me with her last amount of dignity which was almost nothing.

-My parents sold me...

I stopped for a second hearing that sentence for some reason i couldn't help but get reminded by my own parents maybe they also sold me its a really sad thought isn't it ?The girl seemed a bit fearful when i suddenly stopped moving until i continued to move forward again.

-Do you hate them for doing so ?

I asked her and i could see a very deep sadness showing her face when i did there was even a tear drop falling down her left eye she didn't want to show it to me so she turned to the left side and wiped it off very quickly i could see her expression also contour some sort of hatred to it but at the same time it was denial that followed her.

-yes...

She quietly whispered.If i didn't have my enhanced hearing i would have not been able to hear that but at the same time it made me think of myself once again did i hate my parents ? No,i didn't.Did i want to meet them ? No,i didn't...So what was the problem here ? why was i getting frustrated by hestias question and how could you hate something you never knew in the first place...maybe i hated them unconsciously it could very well be the case...but at the same time i really didn't want to meet them..i didn't want my life to change that much all of a sudden....but this girl admitted to openly hate her parents for selling her into auction it was a valid reason to do so then why has she some sort of denial in her expression was this some sort of hate,love relationship she was going at ? if so she must have really huge issues and i probably shouldn't compare myself to people from this place over all...

-Put it inside here...

She pointed towards a wardrobe that was standing in the middle of the hallway i was quiet confused why it was here until i put it together and figured everyone every person must have collected it from here and take it from here to make it easier to move on place to another.The little girl opened the wardrobe helping me put the tower of blankets inside finished doing the chore i closed the door for of the wardrobe sighing i wasn't tired or anything i just couldn't understand myself...maybe i should just dismiss this topic i know nothing good will happen if i keep continue thinking about it and getting side tracked may cost me my life.

-So do you have parents yourself master ?

The little girl asked me surprisingly she was able to over come her fears to some extend and pull some courage as she asked me shyly.

-No i never met my parents i probably never going to meet them either.

I said as i clapped my hands for a bit to shake off the dust that came from the wardrobe handle it sure was dirty.

-Do you hate them...i mean your parents..

I looked at the little girl for a bit her asking me this was fair so i didn't mind that much.

-I don't know if i do i most likely do but i am still confused you can't hate something you never knew in the first place but you can hate the idea behind it without hating the actual person which makes me confused but overall these are only my worries nothing much doing i have more important things to do then think about something as dumb as this after all goodbye little... ?

The little girl caught on that i was asking her name quickly bowing down introducing herself.

-My name is sarah thanks for asking and for helping me do this work i am sorry to have robbed you out of time master...

The girl was really overly polite but i wasn't surprised every slave in this building was like her no matter what age i found it kinda sick but i didn't comment on it and just nodded to her turning around moving towards my room i didn't get to breath any fresh air but i had already enough because i had enough answers to myself even thought they were most obscure towards me.

When i was starting to walk away i noticed that sarah's shoulders drooped really low as she hit herself to the head going the opposite way probably doing her next chore and while i was walking towards my room i noticed the movement in was getting really wild in this hour more then 8 people passed me be it slaves or some kind of guards they all seemed really panicked as they ran towards where the entrance was no one tried to interfere with me or ask me anything probably because everyone knew to not disturb me that coming from their boss of course which was chase.

While this was happening i stopped one of the guys and asked what was going on and what i got out of it was that some important people were about to come which were related to chase i thanked him for the info and let him go thinking about who they might be until i remembered yesterdays request chase asked me about which involved me participating in some sort of dinner with her sisters which would arrive tomorrow which was today while i was walking i looked towards a clock and realized it was 5:03...i should get to my room a bit faster..i thought.
