Future Knight [EN]: Chapter 112

“Ugh! Ugh, ugh!”

“What? That was too easy. Is this one a little… slow?”

“Don’t let your guard down! There might be other Elves. Search the house.”

“Got it.”

They didn’t lower their guard and began searching the house for anything valuable.

Then, they found a small baby crib in the corner of the room.

“Huh! What, is that a baby?”

“What? A baby?”

The dwarves cheered when they found Lacasa sound asleep in the crib.

“Yes! We hit the jackpot!”

“We’re set for life, kekekek [a snickering laugh].”

“Is this what they call a ‘buy one, get one free’ deal?”

Just one Elf would have been enough for both of them to live off for the rest of their lives, but finding the Elf’s child as well? This was a complete jackpot.

But soon, one of the dwarves, noticing the baby’s skin, asked his companion,

“Hey, why is her skin like this? Is it painted?”

“Where…?”

One of the dwarves spat on his finger and rubbed Lacasa’s face.

But Lacasa’s naturally green skin wouldn’t come off, and the rough touch woke Lacasa, who burst into tears.

“Wah! Wah!”

Mataana, who was tied up with ropes, regained consciousness at the sound of Lacasa’s cries.

And she screamed, gagged, as she looked at the strangers surrounding her child.

“Ugh, ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

But the dwarves didn’t care about her screams. Their only interest was in her child.

“T-this is real skin?”

“What? Real?”

“An Elf with green skin…?”

The two dwarves stared at each other, bewildered.

“Could it be… an Orc’s child?”

“No way. You think she slept with an Orc?”

The dwarf who brought it up scratched his head, realizing how absurd it sounded.

“Well, who cares if it’s an Orc’s or a Troll’s kid? It’s still worth money, isn’t it?”

“Heh heh heh, of course. We’ll sell the kid to the circus and have some fun with the woman before selling her to the slave traders.”

“Yeah, it’s not like she’ll wear out if we use her….”

With sinister smiles, the two dwarves quickly took Mataana and Lacasa to a safe place.

Three days after that incident.

Nemitz, who came to see Mataana, was shocked to see the broken door and rushed inside.

“Mataana! Mataana!”

Seeing the disarray inside the empty house, Nemitz wandered around like a madman, calling Mataana’s name.

“Mataana! Mataana, where are you!”

But no matter how much he shouted, Mataana was nowhere to be found, and Lacasa was also missing.

Nemitz was going crazy, not knowing what had happened to the two women or where they were. Tears welled up in his eyes from the frustration.

“Mataana… where are you? Please, Mataana, please….”

After that, Nemitz never saw Mataana again.

Never again.

In the 20 years after the two women were kidnapped.

The girl was sold to the most famous circus in the continent and had an unfortunate childhood.

Before she could even understand the world, she was trapped in a cage, becoming an object of people’s curiosity. As she grew older, she was severely beaten and forced to master various stunts and tricks to please the audience.

The girl’s name was Green, not Lacasa.

A careless name given simply because her skin was green.

But the girl didn’t even complain about it.

She had been called that since she was a child.

The girl sometimes did things other than circus acts.

At 20 years old, her growth was slower than humans, making her look like a child of just over 10 years old.

However, the beautiful appearance of the girl, who was born with Elf blood, was enough to stimulate the sexual desires of perverts, and she had to attend to the nightly needs of wealthy nobles, including the circus master.

The first time she attended to someone at night.

The girl didn’t know why she was being asked to do such a thing.

Nor did she know why she had to do such an act.

An act that was only painful and dirty.

But as her life had always been, the girl had no choice.

As she did it once, twice, the act became familiar and became a daily routine, and the girl got used to it.

The girl had no memory of her mother.

Because they had been separated when she was too young.

According to the ringmaster, her mother despaired of her skin color and sold her here.

But the girl had a big heart.

The girl did not resent her mother for giving birth to her and abandoning her.

The girl didn’t want to resent her mother.

Because then she would feel too miserable.

Rather, the girl blamed herself, thinking it was her fault for being born with this skin.

Before going to sleep, the girl always asked herself in her heart.

‘Why did I have to be born like this?’

The girl fell asleep today thinking about this and that. While wiping away tears.

50 years had passed since the girl started living in the circus.

The girl’s appearance now had a considerable maturity, and the circus was filled with people who admired the girl’s increasingly beautiful appearance.

As 50 years had passed, the ringmaster had also changed.

The new ringmaster was the son of the former ringmaster, and the ringmaster who had raised the girl was no longer in this world.

But even if the ringmaster changed, nothing changed.

She still had to attend to him every night.

Today was the girl’s birthday.

She didn’t know if this was really her birthday, but it was the day the girl had thought of as her birthday for 50 years.

For the girl’s birthday, the ringmaster prepared a small party.

The girl was uneasy. He wasn’t usually so caring.

He was a scary man who beat her like an animal during his nightly visits these days.

For such a person to prepare a birthday party for her….

The girl shed tears of joy at the birthday table she was receiving for the first time in her life, even though she was uneasy.

And she was able to taste cakes and various fruits that she had never eaten before.

The girl was so grateful to the ringmaster for arranging this.

‘Ringmaster, thank you so much. I will never forget today’s birthday party….’

The girl thought so and slowly fell asleep.

“Move it to the carriage.”

“Yes.”

Looking at Green being carried away under the influence of sleeping pills, the ringmaster seemed a little sorry and told her the reason for leaving.

“The circus is in a recession these days, so the financial situation is not good. I’m sorry.”

The birthday table that the ringmaster had prepared for the girl today was like a small reward for her hard work.

A strange ceiling came into the girl’s eyes as she slowly opened them.

‘W-where is this?’

The girl tried to get up and open the door, but the door was locked.

She knocked on the door and called out to someone she knew, but no one answered her call.

How many hours had passed?

Unfamiliar men she had never seen before opened the door and came in.

“Hehehe… is this the one? Wow, she’s a really unique-looking Elf, just like I heard?”

“Well, I don’t really like the skin color… but she’s pretty good-looking for an Elf. She’ll attract some customers.”

“W-who are you?”

The girl trembled with fear and ran to the corner of the bed.

And she realized.

That the circus master had sold her to a strange place.

The men slowly took off their clothes and said.

“We’re not that scary. You don’t have to tremble like that, relax.”

“This is all study, study. Studying what you’ll have to do in the future. Hehehe….”

The bodies of the men who had taken off all their clothes were covered in hideous tattoos.

They soon rushed to take off the girl’s clothes.

Then the girl struggled violently and shouted.

“Why are you doing this? Please don’t do this!”

“Stay still!”

Slap!

“Aah!”

The girl, hit by the man’s hand as big as a pot lid, couldn’t get up.

“Stay still when I tell you nicely. I really hate resisting, you know? Resist one more time and you’ll be half dead today, got it?”

At the man’s terrifying words, the girl had no choice but to obediently entrust her body to them.

Since her body wasn’t clean anyway, there was nothing to protect now.

The men took off all the girl’s clothes and looked her up and down with lecherous eyes.

“She looks young, but her body is pretty good? It would be nice if she grew up a little more, but this has its own charm. Now, let me teach you how to please a man.”

The girl, who had not yet shed her childishness, was violated by two rough men and forced to learn the art of lovemaking.

In a small room filled with the smell of mixed flesh, the men smoked and laughed among themselves.

“Isn’t that the daughter of that idiot Elf who died of syphilis a few years ago?”

“Oh, really? That’s the first time I’ve heard that, is that true?”

“The pimp said that the idiot Elf was holding her when she was caught by the dwarves and sold here.”

“That senile old woman remembers everything. By the way, how did an Elf with that skin color get born?”

“I heard that the idiot Elf slept with an Orc and that’s how she was born? Hehehe.”

“Is that true? If an Elf and an Orc do that, can they have a baby?”

“Humans can have babies, so I guess Orcs can too? That’s a very harmonious race, Elves. Hehehe.”

“So you’re saying they’re the pot of all races? Kekekeke.”

The girl, who had turned around, pretended not to hear their words.

Because she wanted them to talk more about her.

“Still, she was a very popular Elf back in her prime.”

“That’s right, she was an idiot, but her face and body were amazing. Hehehe.”

‘Oh, my mother died in a place like this… That bastard! He lied to me.’

The girl cursed at the circus master’s lies, which she had believed to be true until now.

But she couldn’t say anything and had to force back the tears that were welling up.

Because there was no one here to comfort her even if she cried.

After that, it was a series of hellish days.

The girl could no longer be a girl.

She spent years in a narrow room, being molested by men who flocked to her like beasts every day.

In the meantime, she desperately collected information about her mother and herself, and after two years, she was able to learn most of her past.

That her mother, who had been chased out by her own kind after giving birth to her, had been kidnapped by dwarves and sold here.

She wanted to kill.

Everyone who had made her and her mother so miserable.

But she had no power.

That made her even more miserable.

And again, time passed, and she celebrated her 100th birthday.

50 years had already passed since she had lived without being able to die. In the meantime, she had suffered from all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases and had almost died several times, and she was so emaciated from malnutrition and severe depression that she could no longer find any of her former beauty.
