The slave trader arrived ten days after the letter was sent. Even though Viscount Galliana was close to Marquis Quordentz's territory, it was still quite fast.
As the next head of the house, I obviously wouldn't leave and go all the way to a slave trading group located in another noble's territory. Calling out merchants was normal.
Today, I was waiting for the slave trader at my residence and not the castle. This city—Nyuneri—was the main base of the House of Quordentz. It was a fortress city surrounded by threefold of walls. Supposing that it was possible to view from above, one would see three crooked ellipse layers, like the growth ring of a tree.
The outermost wall separated the city's interior to the outside environment, protecting against the invasion of magical beasts and large wild animals. Its appearance was like an inferior version of the Great Wall of China.
One of the inner walls separated the castle town and the agricultural area, and its purpose was to defend against the invasion of enemies, such as the savage tribes and army from other territories. A darkish unique stone stood up high, giving off an extreme feeling of pressure.
The last wall separated the castle town and the residential area of the Quordentz family. The castle that was also my home, known as Nyuneri Castle, was located at the heart.
Setting aside the slave traders, there was no way the slaves could enter inside the castle, so they came to my residence.
「It is our Gandoran Group's pleasure and honor to be summoned on this occasion. I'm the owner called Doran.」
I gave a dignified reply to Doran, who politely lowered his head. As the eldest son of a marquis, I couldn't let myself get underestimated by a common merchant. After the greetings, we exchanged a few light conversations.
「I'm surprised that you've already prepared the goods in just a few short days.」
「Viscount Galliana especially advice to be extra careful. The slaves are of the highest quality we could provide.」
Tesh gave Doran, who was lowering his head like he was going to prostrate himself, the permission to let the slaves in. With a man appearing to be an employee standing at the front, the slaves entered in a line one after another. The man turned towards me and quietly lowered his head down. At the same time, another man at the back of the line was arranging the slaves in a row.
「Hoh.」
There were twelve women in a line, and each one of them was wearing a clean white robe. Their ages ranged from ten to around twenty years old. They had a common characteristic— beautiful. Several of them had chests so large that it was obvious from above their robes. The high standard level of their slave trading company was evident.
「If you would give the permission, we would like to introduce each one of them.」
Doran seemed like he was feeling at ease after seeing my reaction. No doubt about it, he was thinking that he got me hooked. Though in reality, he really did.
I granted the slaves permission to introduce themselves.
「Then start from the left.」
Doran moved his gaze towards one of his employees, and the man sent a slave to the front with a push on the back. From the slaves arranged in a row, one of them went forward.
「This girl will be turning fourteen this year. She came from a farm village located in the Katina region.」
The girl lowered her head and gave a smile. Her sweet smile appeared very natural. If they trained her to do this, then their training was quite something.
「She's in a completely good shape. Her speech has a hint of Katina region accent. She's a virgin without any sickness.」
Then, Tesh asked.
「Have they been examined? Can that be trusted?」
「Yes. Please take a look at the examination results.」
Doran handed over a bundle of documents to Tesh. They sure came prepared.
Tesh called over an appraiser, verified its validity, and then handed it back to Doran. It seemed like there was no problem.
「Say something.」
I called out to the girl who came from the Katina region. I wouldn't want something like a cute girl with a manly voice.
「Yes. Please buy me, Master.」
As though the line had been decided beforehand, she replied without any hesitation. Her voice was quite cute, too. I was glad.
「Her mother had a very beautiful figure. She's likely to have a promising future.」
Upon hearing Doran's words, the girl leaned forward and her robe shifted slightly. From the gaps of her robe, her growing chest befitting her age was slightly visible. Unconsciously, my eyes glued to her chest.
「Is, is that so?」
Even I was aware of my unsteady voice. My virgin self was completely revealed. In reality, I was indeed a virgin, so there was no room for excuses. Well, my current appearance was that of twelve years old boy. Getting flustered upon seeing the chest of a young girl, view my innocence as a good thing.
Afterward, the remaining slaves continued their introduction. As expected, they were all high-quality goods. They all had well-defined features and excellent body development. It seemed like their training was also thorough, they properly introduced themselves and they didn't have much of the distressful air usually found in slaves.
However, only the last girl was different.
「Concerning this slave, I'm very sorry. She has yet to receive a proper training since she just arrived a few days ago.」
Doran lowered his head with a regretful tone. The slave sitting at the rightmost corner of the line was wearing a hooded robe and was looking down, so her face was not visible.
『She still hasn't been trained, so you might feel displeased. But, I brought her since it would be regretful to miss seeing a very pretty girl. If you could tolerate the slight displeasure, I could take off her hood and show her. Would you like to? 』
Doran proposed something with that kind of suggestive meaning.
「I do not mind. I wouldn't be able to help but feel curious if we end without being able to see everyone.」
While waving my hands, I indicated them to take off her hood.
「Understood.」
Doran moved to the back of the girl at the right corner and told her to remove her hood in a low voice. However, the slave only shook her body and refused to obey. A slave who couldn't take a hint. It looked like she really was a new arrival.
When Doran forcefully pulled the hood off, an ear jumped out of the hood. She had dark golden hair like honey and emerald-like green sparkling eyes. Her long ears extended to the sides, and her skin pale white.
It was a girl from the elf race.
「An elf?」
「Indeed. She's a slave from this year's northern expedition.」
The army of the kingdom would occasionally set off to an expedition to subjugate the northern part of the kingdom, which was the domain of the non-human races. Apparently, they found an elf village by chance during this year's expedition and attacked it. Gandoran Group was the one who took in the captives as slaves.
「It's my first time seeing an elf. Elves are just as beautiful as the rumors say. 」
No, they were better than the rumors painted them. Even though she was not wearing a smile like the other slaves, her despondent well-featured face was breathtakingly beautiful, slowly making people feel pity towards her. Speaking of elves, I had the impression that they were all flat-chested, but the chest of the girl in front was so large that it was bulging.
「By the way, how old is she? Some elves have younger appearance despite being older than my grandparents, right?」
Well, if her appearance was young and beautiful, it didn't really matter whether she was a hundred or a thousand years old. Her height was around that of an elementary school student, so she shouldn't be that old.
「She'll be twelve years old this year. Same as the other slaves, she's a completely healthy virgin girl.」
Surprisingly, our age was the same. Her chest was impressively large for her young age. I wonder just how much bigger would they still grow.
I felt like even my mind was going to be carried away along with my aroused lower half.
「I see. So her age matches her appearance? Hey, say something.」
Just like I did to the other slaves, I decided to check out her voice. However, the girl was too shaken to reply.
Doran's expression changed and he moved to hurry the girl, but I stopped him with my hand. After a short silence, the girl finally uttered a word with teary-eyes.
「...Noo! Please don't buy me...!」
It seemed like I was the only one who felt touched upon hearing her clear and beautiful voice. Tesh, Doran, and the employees behind them were stiffened upon hearing her response. Speaking in such a manner towards the young master of a marquis was offensive.
For the time being, I told Doran that we'd talk regarding the purchase, and ordered the slaves to leave the room.
