Cleaning up After the Duel ②

「It’s wonderful magic. I was very impressed that you were able to use such magic without difficulty and without chanting!」
「Who are you?」
Sam asks briefly, wary of a middle-aged man approaching him, rubbing his hands.
His smile deepens and he extends his hand wide to Sam.
「You don’t need to be alarmed. I am a simple merchant. If you don’t mind, I have a doctor with me, and I would like him to examine Erica-sama.」
「You have a doctor?」
「Yes, of course. We are traveling with a trading company, so we have several doctors.」
「What is your purpose?」
The merchant’s offer was appreciated, but it did not seem to be just goodwill.
Frankly speaking, he would like to show Erica to the doctor right away, but he would not like to get into trouble again as a result.
「Don’t worry. I am only a merchant who wants to sell my services to Count Walker.」
「What? …Count Walker?」
Lizzie and the others, still kneeling on the ground, responded to the merchant’s words.
「Oh? Were you all unaware that Erica-sama is the daughter of Count Walker, and were you two fighting with each other? It seems that you were threatening the boy with the nobility earlier, but your house might be in more danger, don’t you think?」
「N-No way.」
Lizzie’s face turned pale.
She had never dreamed that the person she was fighting with, using their status as a weapon, was the daughter of a count with a higher title.
But that can come later.
「I don’t care about that. More importantly, you have a doctor, don’t you?」
「Yes, of course. Please come to my tent.」
「Just to clarify, how do you know Erica-sama?」
「There is not a merchant in Royal Capital who doesn’t know who Erica-sama is. She is a magician and sister of the former court magician Ulrike-sama. I find it rather hard to believe that they would have picked a fight with her without knowing it.」
「It’s not just good intentions, is it? What is the purpose? Be clear.」
「That’s my boy! You talk fast! No, no, we do not ask for money. I am not going to say anything difficult. I’m talking about what’s in it for you.」
「Stop being so dramatic and say it quickly.」
「Then, let’s get straight to the point―――will you sell those three enslaved people to me?」
「I beg your pardon?」
Sam was puzzled by the merchant’s offer.
Frankly, he didn’t need any slaves.
The other side made their move on their own and we were defeated, so they only got the slaves as a result.
Considering Erica’s pride, there was a possibility that she would throw the slaves out, saying she didn’t want them.
「Apparently, Young Master doesn’t need slaves, and they would be an intrusion, wouldn’t they? The Earls of Walker would not have to worry about this, but it would be troublesome if they possessed these people as slaves. If so, would you be willing to sell them to me?」
In other words, they are willing to take care of the trouble.
Then there is no need to hesitate.
If Erica had stayed awake, she might have forgiven them and let them go, but Sam would not.
There was no way he was going to let go of the people who had meddled with his beloved Ur’s family, and who were now plotting to enslave him.
「―――Sure.」
「Please stop! Please! If I had known you were the Earls of Walker, I would not have been so rude! My sincerest apologies! So!」
「Thank you for your decision. Slaves of nobility are not so easy to come by, so there is a demand for them. Men and women alike are coveted by the most avaricious of men.」
「―――Hiii.」
「I’ll give it to you if you want. But I’d rather take Erica-sama to the doctor as soon as possible.」
「I see. I beg your pardon. Then let’s discuss the price later. Now, please take Erica-sama to my tent. The doctor will be there.」
Ignoring Lizzie’s pleas for forgiveness, Sam and the merchant proceeded with their story and tried to leave the scene.
The merchant with a big smile looks at them, and the people who appear to be his men from a distance, approach and try to take the fallen Dolgana and Lizzie and the others away.
「Don’t touch me! Please help me! Please!」
Lizzie screamed desperately and Lloyd resisted, but no one offered help.
The spectators, too, were defeated by the overwhelming difference in strength after the girls had asserted their authority, decided to fight a duel, and then fouled up.
They deserved it and had no reason to help.
Sam ignored Lizzie’s tearful cries for help and headed for the merchants’ tent with Erica in his arms.
