"Am I going to be sold?"

Rin spoke with bewilderment as she listened in disbelief and bewilderment to the sentence of her boss.

"Yes, you will be sold, the master has been able to enter as a government official, and he cannot let people know that he has a beast as a servant, that would damage his reputation, that is why you will be sold."

That strict Madam explained without keeping anything to herself, and Rin, upon hearing this information, could only lower her head as a sign of regret and submission, since after this year, full of discipline and experience, she knew that she could not do anything.

Just wait, the next orders from the Madam.

"Well, it's good that you are taking it well, at least this year it was not in vain, now, what will happen is that when you leave here I will guide you to a room, where there later you will be collected for your sale."

But it happened, to the surprise of Rin, that the following words gestured by her strict and insensitive boss were words of comfort.

"I will tell you that you will be sold to a distant relative of the master, who has a high position, so in theory, you should not go hungry. Well, it would be all I should tell you, but listen now to this, this you can take as a gift for your effort, I will give you some tips.

When Rin heard this, she was more the surprise than the happiness in her, but even so, she raised her head to see her cruel boss being good for the first time she came here.

"I don't know how you're going to do it, but you should paint your hair black and straighten it as much as possible, in addition to hiding that dirty tail, this is to make you look more like a human, at least that way maybe they'll treat you better, but no get confused, one thing to appear human and another thing to pass yourself off as a human, why if you start lying about your identity, only death awaits you, do you understand?"

Hearing all this, Rin just took note and nodded.

"Well, that would be all, it hurts that we can't do anything with your ears," the boss lamented at the end, before this last detail that could not be hidden, but to her surprise, the girl told her.

"Excuse me, I can say something."

"Yes, speak."

"You see, I'm actually half beastly, so my ears, they're human, just ... these have a lot of hair, so if you cut my hair, it might work."

"Hybrid? How disgusting, how good that you're not going, you're here anymore, well continue with your idea if it's true, how filthy, come follow me and let's finish with this, I can't believe I'm getting soft with a grotesque."

the madam ended up cursing poor Rin upon discovering her mixed origin, accidentally teaching the girl what worse than being a beast, is being a hybrid, she did not know why, but if the result, which was enough for her.

As the madam had said, she was guided by the good ones, to a dark room with no floor or furniture, only four walls, a door, and a small slit, where she would be waiting for several days, without eating or drinking, no more than a few small ones. and insignificant leftovers of bread and water once a day, more than enough to at least keep her alive until it's time to go.

These days, filled with loneliness and weakness, she only had her mind to deal with boredom, and resist the madness.

There were in these days, where she dedicated herself firmly, to prepare, for what came her, thinking and thinking, how not to be mistreated, trying to remember the behavior of their oppressive companions, as well as always remembering her place and the rules that bound her.

And besides this, with her hand, start to comb her hair at all times with the small hope of being able to smooth it a little.

But, the days are severe for those who do not receive food, so that sooner rather than later, they only had the strength to eat the little that came.

And already on the sixth day, the door of her room had been opened, revealing a poor dying girl.
