Chapter 101 The Long And Passionate Celebration Day (6) The Madam's Past

As consciousness floats out from the body, bringing the soul to the world of dreams, just like in the events with the other girls. What appeared is not the dreams of his life, but the fragments of the strong memories from the girl he just slept with.

Memories of hardships, failure, betrayal, and depression.

Unlike Belle, Xena, and Alina that are the daughters of well-known merchant families, Josephine was just the daughter of a certain village's village chief.

She's famous for being strong-headed, gentle, sharp, and beautiful. With her beauty, she was famous not only within her village, but in the surrounding villages as well.

The reason why no one actually managed to get accepted by her is that she is only interested in strong people. Despite of her beauty, Josephine possesses a great skill in fighting, and even her strength is stronger than most of the men in her village.

One day, she went to sell the surplus of grain from her village to the nearby town. There, she caught the eye of the feudal lord's eldest son.

As her beauty that comes together with an aura of strength and unyielding, the eldest son that was part of the royal knights got attracted to her and court her.

But no matter what flowers or how many pretty accessories he brought her, she always politely refuse him. Getting out of option, the noble son reaches out to the village and asked the villagers what kind of person do she wants.

With a compensation of gold for the information, the villagers he asked enthusiastically told him how she was only interested in people who is stronger than her.

As he had been training with the royal knights, the noble son is very confident in his strength. His eyes lightened up and he galloped his horse to the place where Josephine was.

And from that point, the noble son's relationship with Josephine starts to sail smoothly.

Josephine that only self-trained herself in regard to martial arts lost by a decent margin of skill by the noble son. Finally meeting a person stronger, she accepted him, and the both of them became lovers.

The noble son confidently brought her to his father, and after looking at her, the father agreed and sent a letter of proposal for the engagement of the two to the village chief.

Of course, getting married to a noble's family is a great honor for those in villages. It will bring even more support from the town to the village if the daughter of the village's chief is married to the nearby town feudal lord's son.

The whole village enthusiastically party when they heard the piece of news, and the engagement smoothly got established.

As Josephine is unexpectedly a devoted type of person, no matter how many noblemen and knights approached and courted her, she only has him in her eyes.

The both of them got even closer with each day, and of course, the day where they crossed the line between each other eventually came as well.

Getting addicted to the pleasure, the both of them do the deed even more often. In the noble son's house, in the inn, in the noble son's private training ground, and even in the-

"Okay this is annoying. Next scenes please!!" (Lyan)

After getting engaged for a year, the both of them registered together as a mercenary at the far mercenary and merchant city of Arkansas together with the loyal butler of the noble son's family.

They team up with several other people and became a party, and not even long, they became one of the greatest mercenary parties of the city rumored to be the next Orichalcum ranked party.

But after a series of happiness, catastrophe soon hits in.

At the end of a certain quest, Josephine lost her consciousness after getting too drunk from alcohol. But when she woke up, she was inside a cell in a jail.

(No, not a jail) (Lyan)

Lyan immediately knew where she was when he saw the other cells filled with women and children.

(It's a slave cell) (Lyan)

She was sold. Sold by the man she trusted.

The reason why she know the man she trusted was the one who betrayed her is that when she woke up, the man is right in front of her, standing with his usual smile.

As if he's only waiting for her to wake up, the man then left the cell as if he got disinterested. No matter how many times Josephine called his name, sobbed, and thumps at the cell, he didn't turn his back.

But unlike Belle and the three girls, Josephine didn't get depressed and lost her hope inside there. Knowing that she needs to discard the man from inside her heart and her mind, she holds firm the image of her family, her little sisters that are waiting for her to pat their heads, and her lovely village.

After going through a series of hardships inside the slavery building like serving and being forced to use her body parts like a whore, she successfully make a ruckus and fled from there.

With a body filled with bruises, dried lips, and weary eyes, she took one of the horses and galloped back to her village.

But unfortunately, catastrophe came never half-heartedly.

The village was suddenly gone. No matter how many times she went around, she would see the other villages standing while only her village disappeared.

And when she asked to the nearby village about what happened, they hugged her with teary eyes and told her to hide.

Then they told her.

When she disappeared, her father keep on asking where is her whereabouts despite of the noble son had returned, but his question was never answered seriously.

Because of that, her worried father decided to search for information personally, then he stumbled upon an escort of the noble son, happily talking vulgarly about how she got raped and used by the noble son's men before getting sold to the slave merchant.

He brought the news to the village, and the whole village burned in rage. They rebelled, and attacked the town and the feudal lord, only to get killed mercilessly.

Josephine lost her strength, and fainted because of the unexpected story. The village tend to her for a whole week, before suddenly knights from the town came, asking whether they saw her or not.

Bounties are given on her head right after they heard the news about her breaking out from the slave merchant's grasp. The village that was kind to her turned tense.

Some furiously told the village chief to abandon her or just sell her out to the feudal lord so that they could get funds for their living, while some desperately told them how inhumane that thinking is.

Knowing that she must not bother them any longer, she decided to leave the village in the middle of the night. But when she left the door, a white-haired person appeared in front of her while looking at her with a stern look together with two young girls behind him.

That's where she met Abraham, and knew that he had left the feudal lord after killing half of their guards and knights. The reason why he had to continue to serve there is that his granddaughters are getting held captive.

But because of Josephine's case, the whole house turn into a ruckus, and the guards guarding the building locking up her granddaughters got caught off guard.

Then the four of them fled to the mercenary city, and by a series of coincidences after meeting a certain female merchant, they found the House of Roses.

Looking at the memories, a grin appeared on Lyan's face.

It's not a happy or interested grin.

It's a grin that appeared because of his hatred towards the feudal lord's family. A grin that formed as he organize what he should do to pay them several folds for doing such things to his woman.

But suddenly, all of his surroundings turn black, and-

!!!

Lyan opened his eyes.

He could feel strands of hair brushing against his cheek and some about to enter his mouth. As he shifted his gaze, the adult version of the girl he saw inside his dream entered his vision.

Dry drools on her cheek that exist not because of her sleep, but because of the very long kiss they did until they fell asleep entered his vision. A warm feeling started to wrap around his heart that is turning cold because of the scene he saw.

"You've gone a long way," Lyan uttered with a warm smile as he stroked her hair gently.

"Mmh?" Josephine slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah. Sorry, did I wake you?" (Lyan)

"No, it's fine. I wake up because of the twitching thing inside me," Josephine said with a grin as she mention about Lyan's huge thing that had been inside her while they are asleep.

"Oh. Hahaha. It can't be helped, it's a normal reaction since a beautiful woman is right before me, after all," (Lyan)

"Of course. You better be honored," Josephine uttered with a chuckle as she gave him a small peck on his lips.

Looking at the smiling woman before him, the face of the noble's son and the feudal lord once again entered Lyan's mind. At that moment, he immediately uses his illusion magic to hide his eyes which are filled with bloodlust.

(I remember all of your faces. Look forward to what is coming) (Lyan)
