"I'm really sorry about earlier.... on behalf of Ray, I sincerely apologize."

Rhea...... if I bowed my head deeply to Thomas, Steyl and Arthur would follow.

Arthur gently placed his hand around Thomas's shoulder to check casually, but there was no reaction from Thomas at all.... yes, I suppose so.

Sitting on the ground, he leaves his mouth wide open as he looks up at us. He reflected on how bad it would have been for his heart, with sweat sticking to his forehead, cheeks, and neck.

He crouched down from me and wiped his sweat gently from his forehead with a handkerchief. Because it was originally dirty in the care of livestock, the sweat that flows is slightly colored. After wiping it off, he repeatedly changed the surface, wiping it to his neck, and his throat slowly rose and fell.

After you leaked a little......, I pulled out my hand and put my gaze on him, and Thomas scratched his short hair. Even if the short hair is scratched up, the hair flow and hairstyle will not change.

Then he fell to his knees on the ground and sat back down slowly. The aftermath of the flames surrounding Ray just now, the muddy ground was only dry around here.

Steyl put one knee next to me and Arthur held it behind him, while Thomas moved our faces one after the other.

"I... am you guys acquainted with each other?"

“No, we were just helping Ray find someone. Ray was the only one looking for you."

Ray turned his gaze toward Captain Alan's departure, as Thomas confirmed.

He frowned complicatedly as if he was staring at Ray. Even if Thomas told me to go over there, it would make sense that Ray was a part of his past.

As I accidentally swallowed the inside of my mouth, I squeezed my wet palm. Aware to keep an eye on his complexion, he uses his head to choose his words carefully.

It is dangerous for him now to stimulate him easily with the talk of the past. I'm sure Arthur and Stale know that.

"...... He...... you know the old me. Have you heard anything from him?”

"? Yeah, well... just a little bit."

What's that?

Thomas's words, which he calmed down, unexpectedly curled up his eyes.

Quietly pouring his gaze into Ray, he turned his face back toward me, affirming. He definitely had something to say when he matched me with his warm, iris-colored eyes.

Given the context, it is possible to predict. But Rhea... no, I didn't expect Thomas to tell me that.

Could it be that even though I thought it was impossible, if I waited for the words without turning away, I could continue to say the words as I thought. A silent voice, like a wave, flowed to me without a lie or lie.

"... can you tell me?" What have I done to him? "

The peeking gaze was serious in itself.

I unintentionally narrowed my shoulders to Thomas, who would face me sincerely, regardless of my child's opponent. Half expecting a different reaction from the game... half anxious.

Thomas doesn't know his past at all.

Perhaps from what he's been talking about, he can't even imagine that he was a former criminal, but he doesn't even remember that he was a slave victim. Two months ago... I mean, he doesn't even remember the recapture battle where Captain Alan and the others captured him. He did not respond to Captain Alan, who would have caught himself on the evidence, nor to the knight's appearance. After all, he was right. His involvement as a warrior of the Rajiya Empire meant that his previous memories of being put on trial had disappeared.... and it's not unusual.

Victims of slavery.

I am well aware of the weight of the word.

Many people have been hunting people at the border one day, and many have lost their memories and hearts due to the shock of being treated like a mouthpiece.

That's why Arthur didn't recover his memory when he touched it. It is thought that it is not a "disease", but a "psychological closure" to protect itself.

I don't know the fine classification of memory loss, but medical and psychological memory loss are definitely fundamentally different. Like King Lance, it's good when you suspect that it's the cause of the disease, but in Reyer's case, it just covers up the cause itself.

Arthur's special ability is to cure all illnesses. It's a little different from putting everything back to normal.

In particular, slaves who have been brainwashed named "training" often do not remember what they were doing when they were slaves. Like a living doll who only listens to her master's orders, she doesn't even think for herself.

Even if not, many people continue to be subjected to harsh treatment and torture, and even after being protected, they refuse to remember and suffer or lose their memory. On the contrary, there are those who will be permanently afflicted by the past and continue to be sick, those who will be abolished, and those who will lose their lives.

In particular, Rhea is a superior slave who was thrown into our country as a battle force against Radhiya. He must have been thoroughly brainwashed by Radhiya just like any other slave.

Ryer in the game... was also suffering. When I talked about the past, there were occasional scenes of headache and suffering.

"When I think of something, my head hurts and I forget about it." "When I think of something, I think of something," Rheer says, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" "And sometimes I forget the topic itself, and it was so deeply wounded.

That's why, when I met Ray again, I had already accepted my farewell to the past. He concluded that he would not want to recall suffering so much.

If I told that to Ray now, the black flames would burn the whole area down before I hesitated.

It's natural to think that he was so badly caught up in the traffic in human beings that he ended up losing his memory after stopping one of his pursuers to help his child, Ray.

I want to say that the same Queen Pride as the Farnham brothers and Nate was responsible for the deterioration of security when they were trafficked under the castle, but this time it was different.

What's happening in reality doesn't actually matter to Las Vos Pride. I just thought it would be an era of player pride. If it was six years ago as per the document, would it have been before Prime Minister Gilbert began to deal in human beings? The royal route Ray had nothing to do with the Las Vos Pride.

Rhea, who had broken up with the past in the game, did not want Ray to hear about the past, but rather refused.... even though it's...

"... is it okay...?"

Yes, and Mr. Thomas's intentions remain unchanged. I didn't think he would want to hear it from me.

This is also different from the game. At least I'm not afraid to touch my past. Is this also a pleasant change in reality, or have you just lost your memory and never suffered from remembering the past? But either way, if you can tell Mr. Thomas that you're not afraid to know the past, unlike the game.... and just a little reminder. This time, Ray might be able to organize his conversation with [Rhea].

Ok, and. Steyl and Arthur nodded to Mr. Thomas after confirming their intentions with their eyes.

I can't tell Ray that I was a slave victim all of a sudden, but I don't think it's a problem just because Ray told me about his relationship with him. It is a memory of him in the first place.

I'm sure it would be painful for Ray himself to hear each other's memories from a third party from the beginning.

"I'll make it up to you."

A line of Stale came forward and we both explained to Mr. Thomas about Ray and Ryer.
