36 “Saving The Slaves”

A few days later ~

After the sun set, Darkness covered the Earth like a black, airtight net.

At this time, the lamps there were all lit and the dim candle lights flickered throughout the empty streets and gave off a slightly luxurious atmosphere.

Right there, Dominic and Liana came in by a shabby carriage as Eleanora had agreed to help them in the end.

But Eleanora was shocked to see his appearance.

Dominic’s blue hair is dark brown and golden eyes is now silver and Liana’s appearence is the same as him too.

They looked completely different!

historical

Although Eleanora never saw Liana’s hair but her sparkling caramel brown eyes is now normal silvery coloured like commoners.

“Shocked?” Dominic asked Eleanora.

.....

“H-How is this possible? Your hair and eyes-”

Eleanora was really shocked.

“Well, you can do it too. People with high mana powers can do it with the help of high grade mana stones.”

“If we go with our real appearance, we will get recognised right away, specially you, Princess.”

Dominic spoke as he passed Eleanora a dark blue mana stone to, which was kinda similar to her eyes.

“Hold it with both of your hands and concentrate to fuse it with your own mana. Then your appearance will change to a suitable form.”

Dominic explained to her and she followed his steps.

It was a warm feeling. Eleanora could feel the mana from the mana stone to fuse with her own and then she felt the change within her.

Her shiny silver hair turned into a shiny blonde colour and jewel like blue eyes had turned light blue colour, unlike Dominic and Liana’s brown hair and silver eyes.

“Wowww....”

But unlike them, my voice still sounds like a kid.

“...”

“Hahhhahh! Cousin, Why didn’t your voice changed? Don’t tell me you are not gonna grow anymore?”

Dominic burst into laughter and Liana sighed.

“Princess, you need to keep this mana stone with you from now on untill it no longer works. Whenever you want to change your appearance, just close your eyes and concentrate to fuse your mana with it.”

Liana explained and Eleanora nodded to her.

Then they took out the map of the slavery auction house and the map of the viscount willem’s house.

At first Liana just wanted to bought back her sister with money but Eleanora thought of something else to teach them a lesson.

They just caught them and sold them, so can’t they do the same?

Why waste money when they can get it just by a little effort?

Viscount Willem, who is directly involved with this, his territory is in the north and have the support of Duke Ravens.

As northen part is colder and always snows, so the territory is not that supervised like other three dukedom.

He wouldn’t dare to do this if he didn’t had the support from the duke.

‘Duke Ravens again... Only if this man wasn’t there, our empire would be so peaceful.’

But Liana’s expression changed the moment she heard Duke Ravens name.

Her eyes was full of fury, anger, sadness, regret and remorse.

Eleanora didn’t thought much, as indirectly it’s Duke Ravens, who is the main cause for her sister to be captured.

“Tonight we will move according to the plan, Prince Dominic and Priestess Liana will stay hidden and i will charge...”

Eleanora was explaining the plan when Dominic suddenly interrupted me.

“Let me fix a thing first. We are cousin’s and now we are allies that can be considered as friends. So just call me by my name, Dear Princess.”

“Me too, Just call me Ana!”

Dominic and Liana exclaimed in joy and Eleanora couldn’t refuse them, seeing their puppy like cute face.

“Then just call me by my name too.” Eleanora said with a smile and they all laughed as they continued to discuss their plan.

In the empire, only ones family members and very close friends can call one by their name or nickname.

Dominic and Eleanora can be considered as family and Liana as a close friend. So it’s not wrong for us to call each other by our names.

“So let get started, shall we? Brother Dominic and Ana?”

“Yes, Leader Ele!” They both replied at the same time and then they started to discuss the final part of their plan again.

“The guards will be alerted if we blow up our covers, so we need to sneak in.”

“There are more then fifty slaves would be sent to the auction house today. With ten guards stationed around the building. Only one of them can use magic and we need to sneak into the viscounts dungeon before he transfers them.”

In this era, To be able to use magic, one need to born with mana.

But that’s not enough. They must hold their mana awakening ceremony at the age of five with the help of a priest and continue to develop your magic powers according to the attribute powers you were born with.

But there are also people like Eleanora and Liana, who can naturally awaken their power.

There are six magic attributes, Fire, Water, Nature, Air, Light and Dark.

Among them, only The imperial members have Fire magic and Daltons have rare Ice magic.

Many people are born with water magic but none of them are ice magic like the Dalton’s.

Duke Heartz and Marquise Roselia family have nature power, which is different for everyone of them.

Duke Heartz can only use the ground as he wishes where Marquis Roselia can only use the plants.

Duke Ravens family are born with Air magic and no one knows what is the power of the Duke Richardo’s as he never had the need to use his powers.

Because they are physically really strong. So everyone thinks, supernatural strength is their power.

The Arendell Kingdom have the holy light magic that can heal like Dominic and Liana.

And Kingdom Rua uses Dark magic. This is why everyone had a conflict with them as they use it for their own beneficial purpose.

Commoners doesn’t have magic powers this is why they are looked down by the nobles.

But to Eleanora, They have powers, so that they can protect them.

She hates how the civilization developed a world full of slavery based on one’s magic power.

And, there is nothing that, She, A single person can change.

Eleanora snapped out from her thinking and exheal a deep breathe as she spoke, “All right, let’s head out.”

“Don’t try to kill anyone and avoid direct confrontation.”

Then we started to move to our destination.

“There! There! Don’t let them get away!”

“Stop running!”

“Get back here! Who are you?”

“How dare you trespass in Viscount Willem state?”

“Damn you! We are gonna kill you!”

The guards were chasing after Eleanora as she distracted them to chase after her, so that Dominic and Liana can get into the dungeon.

‘They are weaker then i thought.’

Eleanora’s mana level is lower then before and her body is also weak, because she is younger now.

But she still managed to knock some of the guards out.

It’s probably because they are only responsible for guard this weak slaves and there is rarely any incident like this.

‘Brother Dominic and Ana should have reach the dungeon by now.’

By the time Eleanora knocked out the eight guard, she heard some sound, which was coming from above her head.

She looked up and was surprised to see a cage.

.....

‘Who sets up a cage like this?’

But she was more surprised when she heard someone’s voice.

“Hey, Pretty sister! Can you please save me?”

As it was above her head, she couldn’t see who it was but the voice sounded girly.

She took a few steps away and saw a kid of six-seven years locked up in the cage.

“Please save me, sister! My brother is very handsome and rich! If you save me i will help you to marry him!”
