Chapter 31
“……!”
Wavering eyes. Enoch’s lips parted slightly as if he were about to say something.
“…….”
Richard quickly withdrew his gaze. He didn't have the luxury to pay any more attention to him. He had to formulate his plan now.
Leaning against a dusty corner, Richard closed his eyes. Occasionally, grains of sand trickled down from the cracks in the old stone floor.

‘First, one in the morning. The guards watching the slaves switch shifts then, so that’s the opportunity.’
A slave market is made of slaves. In other words, if there are no slaves to sell, the market collapses. Therefore, at dawn….

‘I’ll let all the slaves escape.’
Richard’s eyes gleamed sharply. A slave market without slaves is no different from a fruit stall without fruit or a boutique without a single dress. Consequently,
‘Just like I’ve always done.’
He would dismantle the slave market. Just as he had done before. If he could just hold out here until dawn, the rest would be easy. It was a task he had performed many times.

Richard stared straight ahead with a keen gaze.
“How much for that one?”
“Five hundred gold coins.”
“I’ll take him.”

He saw a man purchasing a slave.
‘As long as I’m not sold before dawn.’

If someone bought him before he could pull off his ‘work’, it would be extremely troublesome. However, the probability of that was low. Richard stared intently past the iron bars.
“Oh, he has quite a handsome face. How much for that slave?”
A man pointed at him, showing interest.
“Ah, that slave is top-tier, so he is expensive. You’ll need twenty thousand gold coins.”
“…Goodness. His price is quite high indeed. I’ll come back next time.”
But every person who came by clicked their tongue and retreated after hearing the price.

‘At least I won't be sold off within the day.’
Richard was classified as a top-tier slave. Because the price for such slaves was substantial, it took at least a month, and sometimes up to a year, for them to be sold.
‘So it should be safe to relax.’
It was just as he was thinking that.
“Welcome!”
“…….”

A silver-haired man wearing a mask approached quietly, yet with an unsettling aura. His silver hair, caught in the vivid moonlight, swayed at an angle. An escort knight, also concealing his face with a mask, followed closely behind him.
“…….”

Richard stared in that direction as if possessed.
‘Something feels familiar.’
Was there anyone with silver hair among the nobility? Surely there were none besides the House of Czeska….
‘He looks too young to be Duke Czeska, and the gender is different for it to be Lady Evgenia….’

After a brief moment of doubt, Richard withdrew his gaze.
‘Well… it’s probably nothing.’
He figured it might be a collateral noble of the Czeska family. After all, there were often members of collateral branches who shared the family’s appearance….
It was then. The silver-haired man, who had been scanning the slaves in silence, reached out without a moment’s hesitation.

“That one.”
His fingertip was pointing directly at Richard.

‘……Eh?’
Richard’s water-colored eyes wavered.
“It is twenty thousand gold coins. Will that be alright?”
“It doesn't matter. Bring him out immediately.”
Wa-wait a minute….
‘This wasn't supposed to happen!’

Richard froze. Throughout his dozens of regressions, this had never happened. He had never been sold off this quickly!
“Ye-yes! Understood!”
The slave trader, bowing and scraping in a flurry, approached the cage. Lifting the key to open the iron door, he finally pulled Richard out.
Click.
It happened in an instant. The slave trader, having fastened heavy shackles on Richard, handed the connected chain to the man’s escort knight.
“Let’s go.”
Е n̄ û ṁ ā . і́ d̈
The man walked out without a single backward glance.
“Follow us.”

As the escort knight tugged the chain, Richard’s wrists were jerked roughly.
‘……Wh-what?’
The plan had gone completely awry.

‘I’m screwed.’
Richard repeated to himself as he was dragged along by the escort knight. He hadn't expected this. To think that the ‘one-in-a-million’ scenario had actually occurred.
‘This has never happened before.’
The plan was a total mess. He had infiltrated as a slave with such effort, only to be sold off so hollowly. It had happened in barely a day—no, in just a few hours.

Richard squeezed his eyes shut.
‘What should I do?’

As one thought led to another, he found himself standing before an inn. It seemed they had rented out the entire inn, as no other guests were in sight. The man stepped into a bedroom. The escort pushed Richard’s back as if telling him to follow.
‘First, I have to go back there.’
Richard vowed as he looked down at his shackled wrists. By any means necessary, he had to find a way back to the slave market—whether by knocking the man out or making a run for it.
Richard stole a glance at the silver-haired man who had bought him.
‘Could I take him down?’
Though he couldn't tell who it was because of the mask, the man felt like a person of considerable skill. The same went for the escort knight guarding his side.

“…….”
Richard bit the inside of his lip.
‘For now…….’
Let’s try talking to him.
“Um…. By any chance, where is this?” Richard opened his mouth cautiously.
“…….”
Ẃе bn о̄v ӗ l̇ Е n um а
The silver-haired man replied lowly as he took off his coat.
“It’s an inn. We are staying here tonight.”

An indifferent attitude that didn't spare a single glance. The man’s voice was deep and entirely uninterested.
“……?”
Richard felt a strange sense of dissonance.
‘This man is….’
Е nù ṁ а̃
It was odd. Usually, what was the reason nobles bought slaves?
‘To have them serve in bed.’
Among them, there were many perverts who didn't care about gender.
‘Shall I teach you the taste of a man?’

Baron Palos, who had hit on him at the last tea party, was a prime example. However, this man who had bought him….
‘He has no interest in me.’
Ѐ ṅů m а .ì d
Even now, look. Far from sending him a greasy gaze, he wasn't even sparing him a sliver of attention. No, more fundamentally….
‘It doesn't seem like he even likes men?’
His instinctive gut feeling was screaming that at him.
‘In that case….’
Why did he buy me? The question flashed through his mind. Richard thought.
‘Did he recognize my identity?’

Even though he was disguised in a shabby state, could the man have recognized Richard Friedrich, the second son of the Marquis of Friedrich? It was the most likely hypothesis.
‘To help me?’
Whether out of pure goodwill or to demand a price for it later. If that were true….
‘What a relief.’
The man looked like a difficult opponent to take down, so it was fortunate. If he explained the situation and talked it through, he might be able to return to the slave market.
Having reached a conclusion, Richard took a step toward the man, who was currently talking to his escort.

“Um….”
It was at that moment. The man strode toward him with long steps. Without a word, without an expression.

“……?”
In the moment Richard felt a wave of doubt. The man’s hand gripped Richard’s wrist sharply.
“…Ugh…?!”
Before he could even resist.

Shove—!
The man pushed him down onto the bed.
“……!”
Richard’s back hit the plush bedsheets. …Eh? What? Before he could even think, his shackled wrists were caught in the man’s hands and pinned down roughly.

Slam!
“……!”

With a lost and wavering gaze, Richard looked up at the masked man.
‘He looked like he had absolutely no interest in me just a moment ago?’
It went beyond lack of interest; his attitude had suggested he didn't even view men as sexual objects. Surely, it was like that….
“Why are you making such a face?”
The man reigning over him spat out in a chilling voice.
“Wait….”

Richard struggled with his captured wrists. Despite his resistance, he didn't budge an inch.
“I’m sure you know the reason why I purchased you.”
The man curled the corners of his lips. Then,
R-i-ip—!
The front of Richard’s shirt was ruthlessly torn open.
