How exciting!
To turn the tables on the enemy who once enslaved her, from enemy to servant… Ah, no, to slave.
This can be considered one of the best and most satisfying endings for the original protagonist, Sherya.
Moreover, the author didn’t continue the story after this.
This provides readers with a significant blank space.
It allows readers to put themselves in the perspective of the Elven Queen Sherya.
To choose forgiveness and fly together with the remorseful female general.
Or to return the torment experienced in the past to her former master a hundredfold!
The Empire’s heroic female general, Ji Yu Su, is also a prestigious lady, the owner of the title “Empire’s Moon,” a classic black-haired ice-cold beauty.
From the reader’s perspective, reaching this point is indeed satisfying.
But from the perspective of someone who transmigrated…
Bai Ze’s current mood is just wishing to find a block of frozen tofu and start over!
Saying she has endured bitterness to taste sweetness.
But now, starting as a slave girl, it means she must first go through a long and bitter phase.
Only then can she dispel the clouds and see the sun, the clouds opening to reveal the moon.
Can she endure until the so-called later stages? That remains uncertain.
The immediate priority may be to give up the lofty plan and try to live through the present as much as possible.
For this, she is willing to pay any price.
Running away is no longer an option for Bai Ze.
Nowadays, the entire territory of Elf King’s capital, Fericis, has become a colony of the human empire.
The fate of a lone elf is anyone’s right to claim, using them as goods to be sold or as slaves.
This is exactly what Sherya experienced herself.
Otherwise, Bai Ze wouldn’t be imprisoned in this cage.
Adding to the fact that she is inherently delicate and fragile, and is also a mute who cannot utter a cry for help.
Even though Bai Ze has racked her brains, she can’t think of any other good options besides temporarily “submitting to others” to survive in this cruel world.
In the face of reality, she doesn’t even have the luxury of experiencing the huge psychological gap caused by her transformation.
She has to consider the issue of survival.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ze makes a decision that goes against the main storyline!
She refuses to be the female general’s slave!
The delicate and helpless elf girl is determined to choose a kind and gentle master for herself!
She escapes before being discovered by the protagonist Ji Yu Su!
Why should she follow the original plot?
To endure the oppression from Ji Yu Su and those noble girls!
Bai Ze bites her silver teeth, her cute expression like a small beast with bared fangs and claws attracts the attention of an elegant noble girl in the bustling corner of the slave market.
Then she observes the slave girl starting to blink her eyes pitifully at the empty air.
The contrast between these moments is quite interesting.
This causes the lips of the black-haired girl, who is perceived as particularly proud and aloof by others, to involuntarily curl up.
And this scene is coincidentally noticed by the blonde girl next to the black-haired girl.
She opens her cherry-colored little mouth in surprise.
Revealing an expression full of astonishment.
Because she can’t remember how long it has been since she last saw… her sister smile!
Then, she blinks her emerald green eyes rapidly.
Quickly glancing at the elf slave in the cage, huddled with knees, looking pitiful.
Then looking at the tall girl beside her.
“Sister… do you like her?”
She asked with a slightly hesitant and appeasing tone upon hearing the inquiry from the blonde girl.
However, the black-haired girl’s smile disappeared as if it had never existed, her cheeks once again covered in frost.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
The blonde girl apologizes for her offense!
However, she indeed reads a rare hint of attention from her sister’s gaze.
And the purpose of their journey is precisely for her sister, who is going to the Imperial Capital Academy to study, to have a maid to take care of her daily needs.
The family had arranged for her sister in a manner resembling the selection of a princess.
Hundreds of girls with various features and beautiful appearances came before her sister, displaying their charms and competing for attention.
Yet, she didn’t even glance at them.
In the end, the helpless family had to arrange for her to participate in a top-tier auction attended by the entire Imperial Capital aristocracy.
Thinking that perhaps there might be candidates she desires at the auction.
This was a reward bestowed upon her by the Empire; she could choose anything within the city.
However, the result was merely a formality. She brushed off the auctioneer’s face in front of everyone’s eyes and turned away, pushing the door open.
Following her outside was her half-sister from the same father but different mother.
Fortunately, her sister is known to be directionally challenged, except on the battlefield.
Otherwise, the blonde girl wouldn’t have had the opportunity to run around with her, eventually ending up in the largest slave market in Fericis.
Initially, she didn’t have much hope.
Thinking that perhaps her sister was destined to be the only noble lady at the Imperial Capital Academy without a maid.
However, after experiencing the scene just now, she feels that things might not be so absolute.
Perhaps, there could be a turning point in the situation… It’s also possible?
But her sister is famously bad at expressing her emotions and feelings.
Even the nanny who has taken care of her since childhood until today can’t figure out the preferences of the lady.
Even for foods she dislikes, her sister would swallow them without a change in expression.
In this situation, expecting her to express a desire for that elf is undoubtedly an impossible thing.
So… it can only be done by herself, turning raw rice into cooked rice.
After all, that elf girl is so lovely and cute; in a little while, she might be bought by some other noble.
The blonde girl wants to please her sister.
This is her aspiration as a half-sister…
To be recognized and liked by her sister, who is considered family.
Even though she already has the privilege of staying with her sister, she feels like something is missing.
Her sister has never smiled at her…
But now, a smile appears because of that elf.
So, if she were to give that elf as a gift to her sister.
She would be happy, right?
As long as her sister is happy.
Her own feelings don’t matter much now.
…………..
Inside the cage, the elf girl keeps her observing gaze hidden beneath her silver-white bangs.
Bai Ze realizes that although she can’t speak, she can at least understand the language of the people around her.
Perhaps this is also one of the privileges of being a transmigrator.
However, things like systems, no matter how much she summons, refuse to appear.
Is there really no such thing?
It’s a disaster.
Even though when reading novels, she usually dislikes protagonists with systems, feeling like they can solve everything without thinking.
But now, as a transmigrator herself…
Sigh, System Mommy, please stop playing hide-and-seek, okay?
Just as the elf girl is starting to pray for the system’s arrival.
What truly arrived by her side was a blond aristocratic girl.
She reached out her hand, threading it through the gaps in the cage, lifting the chin of the elven princess Sherya, with its fair complexion.
After all, there was no sign here that said “Do not touch the merchandise.”
“What’s your name?”
“Will you come with me?”
Bai Ze opened her rosy lips dumbfoundedly.
“…”
She saw a bright smile and lustrous golden hair, like sunlight.
That scene, as if an angel had descended beside her.
