“Dreams……. ”

Trapped in the Iron Spear, the Demibeasts have spent their entire lives pronouncing awkward words that they thought had nothing to do with themselves. The first sound I felt at birth was very sweet.

Judas sits face to face between the cold iron pillars and waits for her like that.

A Demibeast slave, who had been thinking about ‘Dreams’ for a while, bowed his head powerlessly.

“That kind of thing..... Nothing……. ”

“Suddenly, I'm trying to think about it, so it doesn't seem to come to mind. ”

Judas corrected the expression "no" to "don't come to mind."

It seems like a small difference, but in a word, the Demibeast slave has a dream somewhere inside of him.

She quietly positively fixes her gaze on the floor with a dirty zigzag that she could not find.

“Well, let's think about it this way. ”

Judas changed his question.

“After this day, a dark night will come. Maybe until then, you'll have a hard time here. ”

Slavers had more guests during the day than at night. The dark Midgard lights up brighter than the day and begins to attract attention in a much more provocative and bold way.

Judas guessed this and continued to speak.

“The watcher will disappear, and you will fall asleep even when the dog barks more frequently. A miracle happened to you while you were asleep. ”

“Miracles……? ”

“Yes, but you wouldn't know that a miracle happened at night because you were asleep. ”

“Ah.”

“And when I finally woke up with my eyes open. At that time, what would you feel was the first miracle that happened? ”

The Demibeast slave was dumb and chewed up his words.

‘Miracles? Miracles come to me. ’

“One year……. ”

Standing at the border of a girl and a woman, she looked for answers with a gloomy eye.

“Not a day. If only I'd been asleep for a year..... ”

It wasn't her wish to fill a sick stomach, or to get free to leave the iron spear. Rather, it was more earnest than that.

“I want to run away from reality now. ”

‘That's right. I want to get away from now. ’

In Judas' words, she admitted it strongly into her mind. I'm so tired of holding on to all this reality right now.

But I was scared to death. So I thought I wanted to sleep for about a year.

“And if you meet a good master when you open your eyes. ”

The slave's life will be ruined once he has solved the hunger immediately. Getting out of the Iron Spear and becoming a body of freedom doesn't erase the stigma on your body.

Slaves sold as commodities are all those who have been thoroughly trained as slaves for a long time or have been slaves since birth.

If you take a wall that will climb from a trumpet that has never risen on its own, it will only collapse.

Similarly, slaves had no idea how to live a life other than slavery.

Judas saw the Demibeasts as inseparable from the ritual of slavery.

‘Releasing them right away is like pulling a fish out of the water. ’

The irresponsible salvation is ultimately poison. His veil sank for a moment, then returned to the slave who had been trapped.

“Thank you for telling me. ”

The Demibeast slave smiles and stares up at him as he rises.

Unlike human beings, the ears of the fat sheep grew limpidly. Judas, who seemed as though he was leaving his seat, stopped trying to turn around and called her back.

“Oh, boy. ”

No matter who she was, she wasn't old enough to be called a child, but strangely, she was not at all satisfied with the title Judas called.

“You have a very pretty voice. It's really good to hear. ”

“ ……. ”

“Yes, if you sing, I think it would suit you. ”

It was a compliment I had never heard since I was born. The Demibeast slave, who had been hiding his voice as a curse, held his fist in his chest without even knowing it.

"Sing?"

There were some melodies I might have heard, but I didn't know them. The song is a relic of humans. A petty slave should not sing. I've thought about it and admired it.

‘Can I sing? ’

For the first time, I thought of that. Judas was reminding her of new senses and wishes she had never encountered during this brief encounter.

As a Demibeast slave sits down like a thunderbolt, Judas turns around and talks to Judas.

“Owner.”

‘…… Is he also a slave? ’

The Demibeasts alternated Judas and Gaya with gorgeous eyes.

Gaya is perfectly dressed for slavery, and her attitude is very arrogant. Apparently, he looks like a young man, but the act of placing his hand on the edge of his loosened clothes and scratching or scratching his side reminded him of a grown man.

“I'm hungry. Let's eat. ”

I even had half an hour. The Demibeast slave was convinced that he would never be a slave, looking at Gaya, who was so audacious that he took the time to eat.

“When I came earlier, I sold fried chocolate. How about that?”

“I think you'll feel it. ”

“Then fry the chocolate bananas. ”

“You only had bananas on your chocolate?! ”

Against Baikal's fierce rebuttal, he yawns with his ears closed.

“Haah. It's tricky. You're not tall if you keep eating, you. ”

“..... If you have to go, don't do it because it looks like it. ”

Baikal, who felt like he had received a sentence from the sky to stop growing, buried his face in the palm of his hand in depression.

He wasn't tall, but he wasn't as big as he thought he was. Compared to Edan, he was barely old for a long time and amongst his homosexuals he was at an average level.

To put it bluntly, it was about the same level as Judas, who was two years younger, so he was more concerned. It was still a growing season, so it was likely to grow more than enough.

With his eyes mixed with injustice and envy, Baikal sighed deeply as he kicked his tongue in front of him.

“I wish you were, Fluby. I can grow only by eating water..... ”

“Beeping?”

Fluvi, who was sitting quietly on his shoulders and sleepy, listened to my name and sobbed her orange eyes.

“Hmm. Fluvi really only lives with water? ”

“It's Blue Wyvern. It's like a snack. I tend to take care of it. ”

Fluvi, who was completely awake, sleeps with a grumpy god or a long tail when it comes to snacks.

“Do you even eat fries? ”

“This guy's appetite itself is hybrid. Even though he likes poisoned meat because of his childhood habits. Fries are greasy, so I think you'll like them. ”

“Then let's make it fried, too. ”

“No, so why is our lunch menu set to taste like fluffy! ”

Demibeast slaves stared at Judas' group, who roared and disappeared in a different atmosphere from the noise of the market.

The dream that was dying in her heart faintly lit up the lamp and quickly grazed again. She dragged him back and buried his face on the collected knee.

Slaves only live a prescribed life. There is nothing different when you talk about your dreams. Unlike her own, she only looks a little glamorous when she sees a beautifully shining being.

‘Miracle……. ’

His clear gold eye didn't want to miss it, so it was nice to have a hidden voice.

It was a normal brown hair, but even in the sunlight, Charlotte glistened like a sleep.

‘In fact, it would be a miracle to meet him today. ’

His voice, which had not touched anyone in the meantime, touched him. It was the kind of encounter I would never come across in my life.

The Demibeast slave, who thought so and made a comfortable expression, felt a breeze in his hair and lifted his head. Then I opened my eyes in circles.

Out of the way.

The Spirit of Wind, who was guarding Judas, remained by her side smiling.

― The miracle is not over yet.

Slavery is not made in the morning. One who is educated as a slave undergoes a process of constant killing so that he cannot defy his master.

The process is extremely sophisticated and lasts for a long time and completely annihilates the free will in the human mind.

You have to make your obedience to your master remember your body, not your head, like a dog that will spit when you ring a bell.

This was the main reason why slaves were traded at such an expensive price that ordinary people could never dream of.

Kidnapping people doesn't make anyone a slave.

Man always seeks his free will. The desire to be comfortable and the ambition to move forward hinder unconditional obedience.

“You will never say that. ”

“Hmm. It must be hard. ”

Seeing Edan expressing his opposition decisively, Judas smiles with his face that he knew it would happen.

Ethan, who did not follow the Lord's will, looked down with a deep look.

“…… Please punish the dissatisfaction of the sonship. ”

“No, I always thank you for being honest with me. Edan."

“Haona.”

“I will continue to do so. ”

Despite the encouragement that followed, Edan's hardened expression did not know that it would unfold.

The master, who is always wise and compassionate and respected by his servants, sometimes makes bomb remarks and flips them over. As it is now,

‘It seems that both sides have a difficult position. In this case, it would be obvious to be a slave in person for one night. ’

I would spit out a proposal like that.

It was close to the prophecy, not the remark, but Edan decisively cut it off.

No matter how much he took Judas as as his lord and followed his orders, he should not have done so.

The Imperial Crown is not a commoner, but a slave!

It was horrible just to imagine. Edan, who serves his master on both sides of his throat, would have preferred to have his neck cut off by extreme choice.

Fortunately, Judas saw the strange faces of his servants as if he had just thrown them away and passed by laughing like a joke.

“So, we dig into the night of slavery. ”

‘But I wanted to be a little more discreet. ’

Judas swallowed a sigh in distress. Nor did he know why his servants opposed him.

Now that I'm not a former civil igrette, I know it's a ridiculous story, but I wanted to try.

In fact, there was only one reason he wanted to be discreet now. I'm not afraid of failure.

‘A man can never be perfect. ’

He was worried that his choice might be wrong. I was afraid that my mind would become self-sufficient for someone.

Judas was like a child who could step on an ant crawling under his feet.

It can be killed for fun, or it can be trampled on because ants are afraid to come in and hurt them. However, children's judgement is always made only in their own eyes.

Perhaps the 'want to save’ and ‘want to fix’ minds themselves were wrong.

It may be his own values that the slave trade is an unreasonable and unfortunate structure.

The moment he gets involved in the world, everything will be easy, but that's the end of it.

‘One's thoughts become the order of the world. ’

Frid, who was delighted with his choice until the last moment, was like a story.
