THE AUTHOR OF DESTINY

07

Lucy also walked through a path that was not unfamiliar to her. It was the road to the inn where he was made a slave first. A few meters from the inn, Lucy noticed that there were a lot of children who were employed roughly. Seeing that made Lucy think of herself first, making Lucy almost lose control. After calming down, Lucy entered the inn.

"Welcome to our inn, you made a great choice by coming here. We make sure you are satisfied with our service. So do you want to book a room?" Ask the cashier

(Prangggk) the sound of plates breaking by a small child/slave

The cashier who saw that was angry and was about to slap him

"Excuse me miss" said the cashier, who walked over to the child

"Basic useless!!" Shouted the cashier who was about to slap him

"I'm sorry, please forgive me, hikss" said the little boy in tears and closed his eyes for fear of being hit

*Eh...why haven't I been slapped?* Say the child in your heart, who then sees what's happening

It turned out that Lucy held the cashier's hand and looked at him with a cynical look and said:

"I came to book a room, not to watch you slap a child. So do your job right!" Said Lucy while clutching the cashier's hand

The cashier gulped and his feet trembled in fear.

"Well I'm sorry, I'm so unprofessional" said the cashier, looking at the child with implied threats

"Go away" Lucy told the little boy

The little boy left with his smiling face moved. He felt very happy because for the first time there were people who wanted to help him when he was about to be hit

In the middle of the night, after booking a room, Lucy went around the inn. He intends to find a room that stores data files for buying and selling slaves. But he never found it. When she was about to return, Lucy heard a noise from the kitchen. He rushed there and saw a little boy being beaten by the cashier. The little boy was the little boy he had helped when he was about to be slapped. When Lucy was about to help her she heard a familiar voice, it was Bean, the mastermind of the enslavement. Inevitably Lucy will have to wait until they leave.

A few moments later, they left after being satisfied to beat the little boy until he fainted. Lucy approaches him and treats his wounds. He took her to his room.

"Where am I so tender? Am I dead?" Say the little boy quietly (kiss)

"Who are you! Wh-aww!" Say the child while in pain from trying to wake up

"Go get some rest, your wound is pretty bad" Lucy said as she walked up to him with a glass of water

Lucy turns on the lights nearby, making Lucy's face visible

"You helped me. Are you the one who helped me this time? B-but why?" Ask the little boy

"I don't have much time. Little boy, what's your name?" Ask Lucy

"We slaves have no name. We were just given a number as a call. I-I'm number 12" said the little boy

*Ah shit, I forgot that they don't have a name* Lucy said in my heart

"Then Twelve (12), will you help me?" Ask Lucy

"You've helped me twice, of course I want to help you. But, what's it for, please?" Ask "Twelve'

"Are you ta-" (tok tok tok) hearing the knock on Lucy's door immediately turned off the room lights and told the little boy not to make a sound. The little boy was just silent in fear.

Lucy only partially opened the door, so that only one side of her face was visible. It turns out that it was a waitress who accidentally heard the voice of a small child from Lucy's room and ended up being suspicious.

"Sorry, you just lost our dear little servant, and I seem to hear his voice from inside your room. Can I check it?" Ask the waiter

"There's nothing in this room" said Lucy trying to convince

"Aaa, so yeah..basic liar!!" Said the maid while trying to stab Lucy with the knife she was hiding

But Lucy who already knew her intentions easily snatched her knife then hit the back of the servant's neck to death. Lucy tied him up and covered him with a cloth and put him under his bed in his room. The little boy could only be silent
