Chapter 50: Don’t fall for your slave, please! part

The girls had already gathered their belongings, which consisted on some make up and a change of clothes. When the guys came in for them, they were so happy to finally be out of the brothel that threw themselves at their saviors arms. Some of them were even crying tears of joy, they still couldn’t believe their luck and still felt it was all a dream come true.

Life at the brothel was harsh, the competition was savage and they had to constantly look over their shoulders while worrying about getting enough money to pay for their own food. Some of them did have some savings, but none of them had more than 2 silver. Even after working their asses off, quite literally, they were nowhere near of buying themselves back so their best shot was to be bought by someone who treated them well.

Luke wasn’t, by all means, a nice guy. But at least he wasn’t violent like other clients and he was always neat, besides he was very attractive. Some girls had really fallen for him and dreamed to be bought by him.

Bob’s situation was somewhat different, he was the nicest guy they had ever met. He was always well behaved, never bothered anyone and treated them with respect. But there were unsettling rumors going around about the things he, allegedly, did to one of the prostitutes. Whenever that girl was asked about what happened she never said anything, but she couldn’t work for the rest of the week making them scared of him. From that day on, the only one who could take on his kinks was the most experienced of the brothel, Veronika.

But even falling in the clutches of someone like Bob was still many times better than being bought by a miner, who would save every penny to get them and then wouldn’t be able to provide a good life for them.

It was already dark when they headed out of the brothel, the way up to the trading outpost was joyful and filled with giggles. Luke and Bob had a girl on each arm and the rest followed closely behind.

It all crumbled when they reached their destination, it was a square building, there were building materials lying around in the ground near the warehouse and the only source of light was a cheap lamp hanging outside. Not only that, but it was located in the outskirts, which meant they were going to be attacked by beasts often so, not even their safety was guaranteed.

.....

Things would only become worse after they got inside, it was mostly empty, there were only a couple beds and some skins lying in the floor. Everything was made out of wood and there wasn’t any furniture besides a desk and a shelf with some papers lying around.

When they got inside they were greeted by Ayumi, who they knew all too well since she always fought them to keep them away from her handsome and wealthy husband.

The girls got inside awkwardly, bowing to Ayumi as they passed next to her. She kept frowning the whole time and Hiraku had an awkward look on his face. Bob and Luke entered last and sat on the floor, they had a long day and since things didn’t go well with the girls they liked, they were both a bit depressed.

“I want you to know the house rules, first you will not seduce nor try anything with my husband Hiraku, even if he was the one who made a move you’ll take the blame. In case that happens you need to tell me and I’ll deal with him. Second, you will not speak of anything you see or hear in here with anyone outside of this room. Third, you’ll follow our commands without asking questions. If you don’t follow this rules you will be punished accordingly, are we clear?”

Despite Ayumi’s petite size and her mild appearance, the girls were terrified to the bone and the only thing they could do in response was nod rapidly. One of them even was about to loose control of her bladder. After the tense moment, Ayumi’s frown turned into a pitiful look.

“Now girls, tell me, did you have something to eat?”

They kept quiet staring at the floor, which Ayumi quickly understood and started serving them some food she had prepared earlier. She wasn’t as good at cooking as Ryu, but they were wealthy in this town’s standard so, even their everyday food would be considered luxurious by them.

Everyone ate their full, except for Bob and Luke who were fast asleep.

When morning came, Sophie was the first to wake up. She had an awful sleep, but she considered it an upgrade anyways since at least it seemed that they would feed them without setting conditions.

Since everyone was asleep and she didn’t want to wake up her new masters, she opened the door and headed outside. It was little bit past dawn, yet sunlight was bright enough to reveal a completely different scenario than what she thought at first.

There was a pile of huge wood logs and there were some building materials lying around, but that wasn’t everything. There was also a nice looking wooden fence surrounding them and there was a two story house being built inside the fence. There were about three sleds outside the warehouse and many pelts hanging from wooden frames. Not only that, there was a stone structure that drew water from the river and it passed right next to the house moving an immense wooden wheel that carried the water up to a water tower located at the second floor.

At first she thought her new masters were poor, but now she could see things clearly. It didn’t matter the size of their purse, as long as they could provide her enough to sustain herself she would be willing to follow them as long as they could show them more wonders like that wheel.

She was a smart girl on her twenties, she didn’t fall into slavery for her own mistakes but due to her father’s debt at the same brothel she ended up working at. Her mind was dazzled with what she saw in front of her, she could instantly tell the purpose of the sled and the wheel and couldn’t get enough of it.

While her mind was drifting in between the tools and trinkets that were lying around she noticed there was someone standing behind her.

“If you’re thinking on running away I won’t stop you”

Ayumi said using her most annoying voice

“I wouldn’t dare do that master Ayumi, I was just admiring the huge wheel near that house”

“That’s called a water mill”

“Please forgive my ignorance master Ayumi, I see that it carries water up to the top so it’ll flow inside the house. I’ve never seen anything like that before”

“I must say I’m impressed by your keen eye, what’s your name girl?”

“I’m Sophie, it’s an honor to serve you master Ayumi”

She said bowing politely.

“Since you got a good head on your shoulders you’ll be helping me and Hiraku directly. As soon as the house is ready you’ll move in with us. Just don’t forget the rules”

“I wouldn’t dare do that master Ayumi”

Every time she heard Sophie call her master Ayumi something inside her made her feel powerful and aroused at the same time. She didn’t like women at all, in fact, she’s always seen other girls as nothing but competition.

When they arrived at this world and she realized they were forced to cohabit with Anne and Helena, both being young and pretty to anyone’s standards, she worried about Hiraku being unfaithful to her. When both of them rejected Luke she felt even more endangered and that led to some trouble in the group.

When Ryu came and she noticed that they both liked him, she couldn’t wait for him to make a decision, even if it meant that he kept both girls for himself. As long as Hiraku was out of reach she didn’t mind anything else.

But now there was this tall and beautiful young woman, with a perfect and round bosom that she should’ve envied, yet she didn’t feel threatened by her. Instead, she felt somewhat allured to her figure and fought the urge to touch her inappropriately.

Sophie was used to the vibe she was getting from Ayumi, it was the same one she felt coming from the miners whenever she served them drinks. But being as smart as she was, she managed to get by for two years without selling herself even once.

She would always lure the customers and convinced them to drink so much they couldn’t perform, the next morning she would charge them for services she didn’t provide and customers were happy to pay as long as it was kept a secret that they ‘weren’t man enough’.

Sophie didn’t care for that, she just did whatever she needed to do to survive, but to her eyes it was clear that the way the brothel worked was tilted towards madame Bianca’s benefit and it put girls on a tough situation just to make them work harder.

After chatting with Ayumi for a while they both realized that a spark had been lit by chance, yet none of them would say it out loud. But instead of a love affair, they both felt as if they had finally made a friend.
