Chapter 9 The Master's son

Balthazar, the worst scum of the society.

His greed and his crimes cannot be forgiven, but because master is his father, he was penalized with a low penalty.

Murder, rape, torture, and most of all abduction.

Everything he sees that he doesn't like, be it a person or a thing, he will destroy it.

And the thing I was afraid of, he's sexual attraction to children that makes him the worst person of all.

I can't let Kimari be in the hands of this man.

"N-neechan?"

"Kimari!!!"

Both of us cried in this private room that Balthazar prepared.

"Why are you here!!!?"

"Balthazar brought me from the slave shop! Neechan I'm scared of him! He always look at me as if I'm a tool to please him, if it weren't for the other gladiators here I would be already played by his hands! Neechan help me!"

"I will Kimari!"

I'll thank the gladiators here later for protecting my sister.

"Wait here."

I go out of the room, leaning on the wall was him.

"What's your request?"

"Well, here's what I want! In exchange of your freedom, I'll free her!"

My face become distorted all of the sudden.

"Waah! Don't glare at me like that haha!"

"And what would you gain from me?"

"Well, I know, your already retired. But I'm not the one that wants you haha!"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, maybe you've heard, that a war may break out. The king of this kingdom would hire the most talented gladiators in the arena. But of course it comes with a price! As you can see, you are like the celebrity in the fighting world. The king wants you the most, but I don't know how to contact you or even know where you've been. But I've got something on my sleeve haha, if I can't find you, then maybe you'll find me. I put your sister in the arena so that you may heard her somewhere, but this is sooner than expected. And here you are! And of course I didn't lay my hand on your sister while she was in my own abode. So what do you say?"

"Hmm.."

I can't think straight right now.

"Does that mean, I'll be purchased by the kingdom?"

"Precisely."

"What about my sister? I would like another request!"

"And what would it be?"

"I'll accept your offer, but let me head to the guild first with my sister."

"The adventurers guild? Well if it's only that then I can accept that offer."

"Then...it's a deal!"

"Deal then haha!"

"Welcome back neechan!"

"Kimari? What's with that face?"

"Neechan... I've heard it!"

Well, even if she haven't, she will know it later.

"Maybe there's another way out of this? Going to war is a suicide!"

"Kimari, I'll be fine, and on top of it! Your neechan is one of the most powerful gladiators here in the arena!"

"But, Neechan...we will be separated again."

"Don't worry about me! I can think of a way to be free again. Just live your life, not bound by chains. If your happy then I can rest assured."

"Neechan, I'm sorry."

"Shh~"

My sister break down to tears.

I hugged her entire body which are shivering.
