Vol 1 Chapter 3 (2/2)

Upon hearing this, a spark of hope was reignited in the bard If it really is her, she definitely wouldn’t simply abide by what others tell her to do… However, in the next second, the patrol captain uy To think I thought you were fe Let’s go!”

A man? The bard froze How’s that possible? Red Cloak isn’t her? Red Cloak isn’t…

The Warrior Queen?

He desperately tried to turn around for a look as if his life depended on it, but the two patrolhi around by his oill

Just one look would be enough Just let me have one look… Red Cloak! Are you the Warrior Queen or not?

Wields a blade, fond of wearing the unbridled color red, small in size, has a voice so low that it resele detail fits exactly with the traits stated by Teacher Louis Red Cloak is also clearly interested in both the Ballad of the Warrior Queen and the nickname LL And to top it off, what Red Cloak just said earlier…

It should be fair to conclude that Red Cloak is indeed the Warrior Queen!

No ht about it, Red Cloak simply had to be the Warrior Queen But why on earth did the patrol captain say that she is a man?

“Pardon me but I have a question!” The bard turned to ask the two patrolthe aard position he was in, with his feet lifted off the ground, his posture and manner of speech were incredibly polite He asked, “The Warrior Queen is feht?”

The two patrol members were stunned They sounded extremely confused when they replied, “What the heck are you talking about?”

The bard hurriedly said, “That is, the Warrior Queen who is the second wife of the Holy King and coht? Or would there be some chance that she is male instead?”

The tere so stunned their coed They snarled, “Y-you dare slander the Holy King?!”

“I haven’t slandered hireatly alar about the Warrior Queen I did not speak any ill of the Holy King!”

“You…” One of the patrol members was so shocked that he could not even speak

The other patrol member responded differently He directly yelled, “Nonsense! Of course the Warrior Queen is fe would take a man for his wife? What blasphemy!”

Oh! That makes sense as well The bard nodded in realization “I understand now Thank you for your explanation Come to think of it, if the Warrior Queen was male, Teacher would definitely have clarified that with me”

Upon hearing this, one of the patrol ed the bard as he continued scolding, “You still dare to speak! You’re just asking for a da’s wife is a man!”

The other patrol ly urged, “Take it easy! This guy most probably has a few loose screws in his head What’sin o over the top, right?”

Sure enough, the other lowered his fist in response to his partner’s words “Heh heh, I suppose you’re right Can’t daood to sell on the market”

No good to sell? The bard was lost in thought So ? If I’d known that earlier, I would have sold it off whenever my stomach was empty and I had no money I wonder how much it’d be worth…

While he was still lost in thought, the two patrol members suddenly threw hiotten used to being thrown around by others long ago Without further ado, he reflexively spun into the posture that was least likely to receive injuries After groaning for a while, he proot up off the floor, looked around, and was shocked to realize that this place was a jail cell

The cell contained quite a few people already These people all had ghastly complexions and held their heads low Despite the commotion when he was thrown in the cell, none of them had reacted

The bard found this incredibly strange He exale one of theht arm That-that’s the… brand of a slave!

At this moment, the two patrol htly

The bard hurriedly rushed over to the iron bars and shouted “Wait up! Why did you guys bring me here? I didn’t choose to sell my body! I’m not a slave!”

“You’ll be one frouard took joy in the bard’s , “Relax! With a face like yours, you’ll definitely catch the attention of many rich housewives After that, who knows, maybe your face will become even prettier than it is now!”

“Congratulations! Ha ha ha!” The two of thenored the protests of the bard and left the jail while roaring with laughter

“How could it turn out like this?”

The bard was left in a daze Although he was indeed bullied a lot during his journey, no one had ever gone as far as kidnapping hi since the establishulations Slavery was only allowed if that was the will of the person being sold off Even parents did not have the right to sell their children Also, regardless of the price the slave was sold at, all contracts would expire in twenty years After twenty years, the slave could request that he be set free, unless he illing to sell hiain

“Letto sell ot it all wrong! I don’t want to sell my body!”
