The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

＜ Secret magic spell given to the princess ＞

Obviously, the body is too young, so for the time being, it is training to see with the eyes.”

If it wasn’t that his body had grown so much in just a few seconds, he would surely be the same age as when he heard that, so why is he rolling over now?

It was the first ten seconds or so that I thought about it.

You don’t know when the flying whip will land on your body.

Rudy put his hands on his body, curled up in a circle, and rolled around.

Next to him, Levin was running back and forth, chased by the whip dozens of times in a row.

This was the first time I knew that a whip could exist in many places at once without magic.

The sound of the whip slapping the floor seemed very painful just to hear it.

I once heard that whips were so fast that they broke the speed of sound.

No, I don’t even know if there was.

It was a joke at the time, so I can’t remember if someone lied or if I actually listened to it.

But now, when I hear the sound of the whip falling right next to me, it seems to be the speed of light, not the speed of sound.

Chow! Chow! The whip, which was barely avoiding the skin, struck the leather on the floor several times.

If you get hit by that whip, you really die.

Goosebumps sprouted from the back of my neck and went down from the top of my head to my toes in an instant.

“…”

The whipping stopped suddenly.

As I raised my head, gasping for breath, Boris came closer and crouched down.

“How about it, did you both see the slightest movement of the whip?”

“…”

“…”

Neither Levin nor Rudy were in a position to answer.

I’m short of breath, but in fact I haven’t even seen the whip move.

All Rudy knew was the sound of a whip hitting the floor making a loud noise right next to him, and a leather snake flying here and there in the air.

Levin must have been the same.

“Well, it probably didn’t look good at first. But you will see it soon.”

Boris had a smile on his benevolent face.

It gave me goosebumps.

People say they don’t know by looking at it, but it really is. To think that an old man who looked like he couldn’t kill even an ant would roll so mercilessly.

Anyway, the whipping seems to be over now.

Rudy looked up at the ceiling and lay flat.

He breathed white in the cold air.

It seems like I’ve been rolling on the floor for a very long time, but in reality, it’s been about tens of minutes? Maybe not even ten minutes.

Close to the ceiling, there is a small gap where the wood is spread out like a fan. The sun was barely rising through the tree trunk that had been opened without glass.

Boris went to the bleachers and brought something. It was a small jar and a cloth bag with something in it.

When I put it down on the floor, I heard a rattling sound from the jar.

“It is fruit water. It’s alcohol for adults, but it’s still too early for you guys.”

Dried fruit, bread, and grilled meat were served in cloth bags.

Boris deftly cut the meat into thin slices with a knife.

After the hard work, I had no appetite, but the smell of the meat suddenly made me hungry.

I wake up, hold a piece of thinly cut meat in my hand, and chew it.

The meat was grilled on the outside, so it was a bit hard, but the inside was surprisingly soft and delicious. It seems that it is not simply sprinkled with salt, but mixed with herbs and baked.

Once I put something in my stomach, I became even more hungry.

Rudy took another piece of meat and dried fruit.

“You can’t eat too much at once. The body becomes dull. Always eat in small portions and in several portions.”

That’s what he said, but Boris didn’t stop him even when he saw Rudy and Levin eating meat in a hurry. It seems to mean to do so in the future.

After eating, I was so tired that I couldn’t even lift a finger.

As he slumped, Boris sat down next to him.

“Looking at you, Your Majesty, it reminds me of when I was young.”

“Did you see your majesty when you were young? I only heard about it…”

Levin stopped talking and kept his mouth shut.

Boris grinned.

“You said he was very violent?”

“…”

“It’s not a secret or anything, so it doesn’t matter if we talk about it. If you think about it, it’s because of me that such a rumor came about.”

When the current emperor was crown prince, it is said that Boris took over training for a while.

“The martial arts that nobles and imperial families learn are very tied to something. Like pretty or graceful movements, or courtesy or consideration for the other person.”

However, the former emperor wanted the crown prince to survive under any circumstances. With the words to teach him how to do it, Boris was sent to the war headed by the crown prince.

“At that time, the very young Chief Chamberlain served on the crown prince on the battlefield. Looking at it now, he looks dependable, but at the time he was still a young and weak-minded boy.”

Boris grinned.

“In war, there is no choice but whether I die or you die. What I taught then is simple. As my master wanted, I taught the Crown Prince how to survive even if he fell alone in enemy lines.”

Boris narrowed his eyes at Rudy and Levin.

“It’s like how to steal food from enemy territory, how to erase one’s tracks and kill opponents silently, or how to relieve tension.”

Boris mutes his voice slightly.

“On the battlefield, even familiar people get nervous. If that continues, one day you will make a big mistake and get killed in the wrong place. That’s why they slightly turn a blind eye to soldiers killing children and violating women on the battlefield. I also taught the prince and the chamberlain that same thing.”

Levin’s eyes widened. His mouth opened slightly, and half of the meat spilled out.

Rudy closed his mouth and gulped down what he was chewing on.

Scenes from Dicoquaria played in my head like a movie.

Women and girls dragged by soldiers on the streets, blood scattered on the streets. Her own nanny who was killed by a vagabond, the people in an iron cage who were captured as slaves and only their skins remained…

The meat that had been delicious a while ago felt like sand.

When I lowered my eyes to fake the emotional confusion, Boris laughed.

“are you okay. I don’t usually push you to do that.”

“…”

“…”

When Rudy glanced at Levin, he too was looking at him. Levin blinked and lowered his head.

Boris took a jar and a cloth bag and left for a while.

Only two men, Levin seemed a bit hesitant before opening his mouth.

“Lord Rudy! sorry.”

“How are you?”

When I answered with a short tongue, Levin smiled once as if he was embarrassed and opened his mouth again.

“I was so happy when I first met Rudy. Because I thought she was a very pretty child…”

“…”

I’m not sure why that’s a pity.

Levin’s head lowered even more and his voice became quieter.

“Since I look like this, I would say that I am often teased or harassed by men or women… Actually, it’s not that level, it’s really… over there… it was very, very, very bad… Rudy-sama. I don’t know because I’m young… I’m being bullied a lot…”

I think you know what I mean. No, to be honest, I know.

He is a boy who is prettier than most women in his mid-teens.

If you’re a high-status partner, you’ll force her s*xually, and even if you’re a colleague, it’s probably the same.

In this era, wouldn’t both men and women have forced Levin to do something?

Levin was such a beautiful boy.

“So I saw Rudy and thought. Oh, since she is much prettier than me, I will be safe next to her.”

Well, that would be it too.

On Earth, it would be natural for a boy who is barely in middle school to think that way when he is tormented by adults and people of high status who cannot rebel.

I don’t think there’s anything bad about it. Because my body is the prettiest of anyone.

But Levin seems to be feeling guilty. Tears fell from Levin’s eyes. You are a child who cries very well.

“I thought I was being treated like that because of my appearance. But… after spending some time with Rudy-sama, I knew that wasn’t the case. She’s prettier and younger than me… Rudy-sama probably… no one will do anything s*xually.”

“…”

Levin looked at Rudy with tears in his eyes.

“I thought about why. It’s probably because of Rudy’s eyes or expression. It’s pretty, but a little scary. I will try harder in the future. So that I can make that face too.”

“…”

no, that’s your mistake It’s simply because I’m not old enough to do that.

And if Rudy looked like that in Levin’s eyes, it would simply be a difference between his thoughts and determination.

If Rudy suffers such a thing, even if he dies, he will never let the other person live. Even if the opponent is the emperor, even if he is beaten to death on the spot, even if he bites his balls like a dog, he will surely kill him.

Maybe it’s because such thoughts are revealed in the middle of the day.

In any case, this boy seems to have taken the wrong turn.

‘Certainly my hair is not enough.’

Rudy felt pity for this clumsy boy, so he raised his small hand and stroked Levin’s head.

“Levin! If a guy like that appears in the future, you have to resist. If you stay still, you will suffer.”

“uh···.”

Levin blinked his tear-filled eyes and smiled.

“thank you. Are you comforting me?”

No, it’s not consolation, it’s advice.

I didn’t like Boris’s education, but I thought it would make a difference for this boy.

Boris came back, then sat in the bleachers and watched the others compete.

As the sun rose high in the sky, Boris sent them both away, even though it was not yet the appointed time. He says he will be tired today, so he needs to get used to it little by little.

And one last word, Boris spoke earnestly to the two of them.

“The roads you walk every day, the buildings you see every day, the people you see every day, you have to remember those things in your head as if you were drawing a picture. And think about it every time. If I was hiding to kill myself, where would I fit in and what would I look like? If you look at things with that kind of thought in mind, you will immediately notice when things are different from usual.”

After Boris’ words, Levin and Rudy climbed into the carriage. When the two of them climbed into the carriage, they laid their bodies on the seats as if they were about to collapse.

After that, I slept like I was passing out until I reached the mansion. He was said to be an attendant serving Rudy, and even when he arrived at the mansion, Levin did not wake up.

As I approached the mansion, I heard the princess’s cry as expected.

My heart was in a hurry and I busily teased my short legs, but my body, tired from excessive exercise, did not move as I wanted.

I run over and open the door.

As soon as the door opened, something jumped out and rushed into my arms.

it’s a princess

Rudy fell backwards with the princess in his arms.

“roo! roo! . . . . . . . .”

“I’m sorry, princess. Did you cry a lot?”

Instead of a nanny, Marie, a slave, stood inside the mansion. Looking at her tired expression, it seems that she started crying as soon as she woke up and has been like this for a long time.

Rubbing her sore buttocks, she got up and entered the mansion with the princess.

Marie knew how to cook as well as mend clothes. It is said that you can boil soup, grill meat, steam, of course, and even make ham.

With her coming, my diet has improved considerably. I can barely get past this winter, but if I keep going like this, next year I think I will be able to spend quite luxuriously.

Considering that the nanny could hardly cook, Marie was truly talented.

The princess still couldn’t stop crying.

It was strange that so many tears could come out of such a small body.

Reluctantly, Rudy took the princess and headed toward an empty food warehouse.

“…Lu…Lu…Ueng…”

Rudy bent slightly at the waist in front of the crying princess.

“Princess, I will cast a spell on you.”

“Magic work…”

“It’s a magic spell that always returns to me no matter where I go.”

“…heheheeng…”

Crying weakened a little.

Seeing the messy mix of tears and runny nose, Rudy picked up a nearby cloth and gently wiped it away.

It doesn’t even come off well with a dry cloth. I think it would be better to wet it with water and wipe it off or wash the face at all.

Wiping his face, he met eyes with Princess Lilitha.

“··············Maup···.”

“Yes, it is magic. With this magic spell, I will definitely come back to the princess wherever I go.”

Princess Rilisha held out a small hand the size of a snot. It seems to be asking for an order.

“This is not a thing, so I can’t give it to you.”

“…Ueeen…”

crying again

“No, it’s not that I won’t give it to you.”

After speaking hastily, he looked the princess in the eyes and said.

“But this is a secret between the princess and me. You can’t tell anyone.”

“…Hueng…”

Rudy lightly placed his lips on Princess Lilitha’s forehead.

Princess Lilitha’s eyes widened.

“···Maeop···.”

“This is the order. If I cast a magic spell like this today, I will definitely come back tomorrow no matter where I go. okay? Even if I don’t have tomorrow, you can’t cry.”

“…,”

Princess Lilitha touched her forehead with her small hand and blinked.

And suddenly he smiles broadly.

“Magic work…”

I think I liked it.

Thanks to that, the crying stopped.

‘thank god.’

A child’s cry drives people crazy.

Now I understand what women say about getting postpartum depression after giving birth.

Rudi took Lilitha’s hand after she stopped crying and headed towards the nanny and Bhimama.

Now, after a simple breakfast and lunch, it is time to go back to the cattle shed.

And at night, there were many things to think about.

The first thing to think about is the gold horse necklace that you will wear someday.

Once the hemp necklace is activated, it will not come off.

You will become the emperor’s slave forever.

In order to prevent that, we need to come up with countermeasures from now on.
