520 Episode 482 Marias Past (1/2)
”Are you calm?
”Yes, thank you.”
”Go ahead. Keep your eyes cool.”
Give Maria a damp cloth.
She cried too much and her eyes became bright red.
But my expression became a little brighter.
”Thank you.”
I'm still a little confused, but I'm not as scared as I was at first.
I still feel a little nervous, but I feel a little closer.
I'll clean it up.
I'll clean up my breakfast.
Maybe we'll move soon after we hear the story.
”Oh, I'll help you. What am I supposed to do?
”Let's prepare tea and have some sweets.
I didn't do anything, but I'm a little tired.
I want something sweet.
I see. There's been a lot going on since yesterday. ”
”Yeah.”
My father will prepare tea, so I'll clean up after breakfast in the meantime.
Maria was wandering around a little and told to sit down with her father.
Nevertheless, Maria is thin.
That will make your journey difficult.
”The washing is over. I wiped it and put it all in my magic bag. And then... the garbage is fine. All right.”
It's over.
It's not that many because I clean it up while making it, and it's easy.
”Good work. I made you a chocolate bar, but was that good?
Wheat confectionery bought in the village of Hattal.
Slightly sweet and crisp.
The chocolate inside is sweet and delicious.
After Lord Foronda has eaten it, I like it.
”Yeah, it's been a long time since I sold a chopper. I look forward to it!”
There are only bars without chocolate and some with dried fruit.
I like the black chocolate.
”It's not always the same taste as what you've eaten before.”
”Looks similar, though.”
Maria looks strangely at the chopper.
”Go ahead. It's sweet, crispy and delicious.”
”Yes, thank you.”
Make sure Maria eats before she eats herself.
Mm-hmm.
It's a little sweeter than the chocolate bar Lord Foronda gave me, but it's delicious.
Crispy.
Crispy.
Phew. It's delicious for a long time. ”
”Yeah.”
My father looks at Maria gently.
I wonder when we should start talking.
When I saw Maria, I ate all the chocolate bars and drank tea.
”Can I talk to you now?
”... yes. I'll talk to you.”
”You don't have to talk about anything you don't want to talk about.”
”Yes. Um... I came to Hatal Village at the age of seven. My mother is skilled. That's why there.....”
Maria's expression clouds.
Did you tell the church to check your skills?
”Check your skills. My surroundings became noisy... and my mother went somewhere. I was in a dark room, and then I was alone. No one comes crying. Mom, Dad's gone.”
Huh?
Look at Maria.
I think he's about 30, but he's been in jail since he was seven?
”Have you ever been out of your room?
”Yes.”
Aren't they completely imprisoned?
”When you leave the room, it suits people. Grab my hand. Say what you saw. Other than that, it's always been a room. Oh, there was a cleaner. But I can't talk.”
Does it suit people?
Church... nobility?
They only let me out of my room when the aristocrats came, and they made me do something.
Otherwise, they're trapped in a dark room.
The only person who fits is the one who comes to clean.
But if you can't talk, there's no point.
”Do you know when you were marked as a slave?
”I don't know. After I left the room looking for my mother, I noticed that she was beaten up. I can't talk anymore.”
Awful!
Is that it?
You said, ”Say what you saw.”
What does that mean?
”Maria, you couldn't talk, could you? How did you tell them what you saw?
”Talk in front of Chathris. Nothing else.”
Did you leave someone to talk to and make someone else talk to?
”Can you do that?
I nod when I see my father.
”Oh, I can do it.... one of the techniques used to obey a master.”
