"............"
You can't say no.
I can hear you calling me with a trembling voice from behind.
"Tia... Dear Leese..."
But if you do as I say here, you're definitely in danger. At least you won't be able to come back here anymore. I walked around but eventually opened my mouth.
You thought you'd cast a spell. The man in front of the right oblique is on alert. The first one to throw in an iron pile.
"Dear Tialise, run away!
That's when Fern screamed.
The cloth cut bit her as she turned around unexpectedly. The men must have been surprised by the loudness of that voice.
Stick a piece of cloth into his mouth to shut him up. But even when she was made to bite the cloth, she had looked at me with strong eyes.... even though I don't know what I'd see if I ran away here. The man earlier said that if I ran away, Fern would kill me.
And yet she tells me to run away?
"……… I will obey you"
I raised my hands to show that I was unwilling to resist. The man in front of me shrugs when he sees it.
"σκοτιδικατακλινεσθαι"
At the same time, my vision shifted greatly.
Apparently, it was the magic of sleep action, and I realized it was when my vision darkened.
I let go of consciousness as it was in front of the compulsive wanderings.
My specialty in magic is ice and water relations, so I'm a lot oblivious to the magic of other attributes. I am the type of person who has honed my specialty and made up for the magic of other attributes with it. Ice and water can be freely manipulated to cover bad attributes. Though still not even to the feet of the King Prince of Magic Haunts. That's a monster level. There's no way the average person can catch up.
On the verge of losing consciousness, I somehow remembered Prince Wang, who had so much magic that I laughed a little bitterly about it.
With that said, you hadn't answered His Highness's question yet......
"Tia. Will Tia love me?
If this were to happen, I should have answered then. But what am I supposed to answer?
'Cause I'm still not sure how I feel.

When I woke up it was a dim room and even the smell snorted.
"Is this...?
The voice was plundering more than I thought. Apparently I was put to bed. The bed is stiff. And the width is narrow and tight. It's made tinier than the Duke's. It probably belongs to the common people.
......... Where the hell was I brought?
How long have you been asleep? When I woke up, the wooden door opened.
"Dear Tialise............! You're up!
It was the girl with the water hair, Fern, who came in.
I looked at her face and remembered something that felt like earlier. Yes, I was taken away by suspicious men who dared to blacken...... where the hell am I?
When I saw Fern, she had a bucket of water and a white towel. …… I wonder what you are willing to do.
"Miss Fern, is this...?
My mouth is dry and all I have is a dry voice. Fern gently squeezed the towel as it was dipped in a bucket with water. I wonder what she's doing, even though she says she's an Earl's Order lady.
"... this is the country of Talia, Dear Thialise"
"Talia country............?
When Fern squeezed the towel, he put the bucket aside and stood by his bedside. Fern's expression is stiff.
"Dear Tialise, let's wipe your body first. And I'll bring you a meal."
"Uh, so, but"
I can't follow you at all. Speaking of the Talia, it is one of the countries west of the Kingdom of Haurfa, a middle-aged country. One previous king gave birth to the kingdom in the foolish king, and at one time he fell into a crisis of the kingdom's survival, but gave the throne to the king Prince, who says he has settled for a long time now.
I can't hide the confusion that I'm in a country I've only learned in class. How could Me and Fern have been brought to such a place?
Fern wiped my forehead with a wet towel. I just realized that the water I thought was cold water was warm and warm.
"… did Lady Tialise know that trafficking in human beings is taking place in the country of Italy?
"Human trafficking............!?
Breathe into unexpected words. Trafficking in human beings. That was banned in the Kingdom of Howlfa about two hundred years ago. It's literally about the act of buying people with money. I had never heard that was taking place in the Talia country...... In the first place, trafficking in human beings is banned almost throughout the continent because it is an unforgivable crime. That should have been no exception for the Talian State.
"… the Talian State is clandestinely engaged in trafficking in human beings, thereby covering national expenses."
………
"And this is above the venue where that trafficking takes place. They brought us here to help with human trafficking…"
Fern talked about how things were going with his face blue. I turned white in my head. My heart makes an unpleasant noise. I don't know what to do or what to do. There was just one thing I could tell at the moment.
I am now not born and raised in the kingdom of Haurfa, but in a country that has never come to another country.
It will not be easy to return to the country. I was dazzled. I want to think it's a dream. This is a nightmare. I wanted to be an adventurer, but I didn't want to embark on a journey at this stage where I had no power. Everything is unexpected.
About His Highness I was just talking to you about, or the way Kevin showed me. They all get painful to miss.
I may not be able to go back............
Even though I am weakened by the fact that there is only a young lady in a strange land, and that I just met her earlier.
"Dear Tialise, I'm fine. I'm sure we can go back."
But then Fern told me to encourage me. When I looked at her, it was obvious that her face was blue but she couldn't and smiled.
......... how can it be funny at a time like this?
Is it potent weather or positive...... no, you're obviously imposing. But he's laughing so hard not to disturb me. Healthy lady. I thought she was just a lady in the boxyard, but maybe her liver is sitting unexpectedly.
With that said, she was the one who told me to run away when I was surrounded...
I spoke to Fern with a slight calm and a slight laugh.
"How do you know that? We may never be able to go back."
"My mother said. If you believe in anything, there is hope."
......... it seems to be just a theory of hope. I wondered if there was any way, but as far as her face goes, it wouldn't.
I exhaled and looked around. If you believe me, yeah. I wonder what to believe in in this situation......
But when I wondered if her temperament was coming from my mother's teachings, the purity was a little dazzling.
I wonder if I can return to the Kingdom of Howlfa......
I get weak about it and think about it, but I breathe in and change my mind.
No, you're leaving. Whatever. And breaking my engagement, because I'm going to be an adventurer!
I can't stand it like this. I have a powerful weapon called ice magic. Taking advantage of this, it would also be possible to see gaps and escape. It may be a steep road, but I felt my heart would have settled just a little if I had set the goal of definitely going home.
