Her story
I looked at the girl walking besides me. She wore ragged clothes with bare feet. There are cracks at her ankles. I stopped walking and stood in front of her. She is looking at me scared.
"Are you scared?"
I asked her to which she got more scared.
"How rude. Satsuki-sama is asking you something."
Vivian spoke a little bit annoyed.
"Calm down Vivian. Things like these don't bother me."
After that I put my hand on the head of Haruka and cast my healing spell. She Bagan to glow and all of her wounds are beginning to heal.
"Aaah?!"
She is so shocked that she couldn't speak. Instantly she became refreshed. I casted a hight level spell so it not only healed her but also made her totally refreshed like she just took a bath.
"Now for your clothes. Let's buy you some."
I spoke and moved to a nearby clothing store. The shop is quite large. Since I wanted to buy good clothes, we moved to merchant zone. This kingdom is divided into three zones, lower zone where poor people, intermediate zone where merchants live and upper zone where nobles live. We are now at a shop that sells good quality.
Inside the shop there are wide variety of clothes that I left speechless.
"These humans sure have tastes, Satsuki-sama."
Vivian looks excited to see many types of clothes. On the other hand, Haruka is looking at the shop in wide shock.
"Vivian while you are looking at clothes, can you find something that is suitable for Haruka?"
"As you desire Satsuki-sama."
She bowed to me and took Haruka with her. Now I am left alone. Suddenly my conversation with Vivian from earlier comes to my mind.
"Satsuki-sama why are you taking good care of that slave? First you used your healing magic on her and now we are going to buy her some good quality clothes."
"Vivian who am I?"
"Satsuki-sama you are a supreme lord. The most strongest being in this world. There is no one who is wiser than you. You ar-"
"Exactly. Think about it. I am a supreme lord and if subjects wore ragged clothes then how will people think about me?"
"T-thats right."
"Also If possible I want to make my subjects to submit to me willingly. If I forced them to submit then they can't be trusted completely."
"As expected of Satsuki-sama. You are absolutely right."
She immediately bowed down before me. People around us started to look at us strangely so I motioned her to stand up quickly.
Haah. A sigh escaped my mouth as I am still waiting for them to finish. Soon Vivian came with Haruka. Haruka looks amazing. You can't tell after looking her like this that she is a slave.
"You look good. Nice work Vivian." I read Haruka's mind to see if she liked it or not. It seems she like her clothes but is quite unsure why am I doing this for her. Vivian replied to my praising her by bowingher head.
"Thank you Satsuki-sama."
"Now let's go eat something."
I spoke and we left the building and moved towards a restaurant. When I read Haruka's mind, I find out that she is hungry. So now we going to get her some food.
After that we entered a restaurant and I ordered the food that I know what Haruka wants after reading her mind. Haruka's mood seemed to have improved after eating tasty food.
"Haruka I wanted to ask you something."
"What?"
She replied. She doesn't seem to be scared of me anymore so I asked a question that I wanted to know for a while.
"How did you become a slave?"
Her hands stopped while eating. She looked at me having a difficult expression. Without even waiting for her reply, I already knew the reason. Since I am reading her mind, when I asked her the question, she thought about the moment when she became a slave and I know about it.
"Why do you wanna know about it?"
She replied while looking at me.
"Since you are my servant now, I want to know everything about my servants."
"..."
She didn't replied just keep thinking whether she should tell me or not. I cast a spell to make her feel comfortable and she finally began to speak.
"I lives in a small village with her mother. I does not know much about her father. Since I was small, my mother told me about various things about my father like how he is strong and how much he care about my mother. But one day he left without saying anything. My mother misses him much. So when I turned 10, I decided to look for him.
But during my travel, I made a friend and when we were traveling, we were attacked by some people and got sold off. Since then we have been sent from one slave trader to another. They treat us like we are some objects. They beat us if we don't follow their orders and even if we follow them they still beat us. They don't give us enough food and kept us in cage all day. But I endured it all because my friend was with me. But yesterday she got sold off to someone and I become alone. After that I was so nervous and then today you came."
So that's how it is. Well I understand the situation. Simply put she left her home in search of her father and on the way she encountered a series of misfortune and ended up being sold off as a slave. Now she sits in front of me while hanging her head. She is not touching her food anymore.
"If you are looking for your father then I can help you find him."
"Huh?!"
She was so shocked that she looked at me with wide eyes.
"Like I said, If you want I can help you find him."
"W-Why would you help me. Haruka doesn't have anything to give to you."
"Since you belong to me now, it's only natural to help you."
"With Satsuki-sama's power, he can easily find anyone in a second."
"Really?"
Hearing Vivian boasting about my powers, Haruka became quite shocked.
"Well I am not using my powers to locate him. But I will make you strong and help you from time to time so you can find him yourself."
"That's enough. Thank you very much."
She came to me with eyes full of tears.
"But first you need strength, so eat your food."
"Yes."
She began eating her food with tears in her eyes. I asked her about her father. Anything that can help us find him. But she does not even know how he looked like. I am amazed she went to loon for him without any clues. After getting lunch, we moved towards the adventurer's guild.
