In the Barone Household

Hera is sitting in the sofa with her legs crossed; staring at the three "kids" awkwardly standing still in front of her

"Come, sit down. Let's have a talk; I still haven't heard your names. Okay Let's start with you" Hera signaled the boy to speak

The three kids comply with Hera's "orders" sat down

"Young Miss, I am Dan and these are my sisters, Maria and Sofia"

"This servant's name is Maria, and this little one is called Sofia" The little 9 year old girl tried to hide her face by covering it with her hands

Hera felt sorry for them, they've been through a lot and they were so young yet they've experience the cruelty of this world.

"You are free to not answer my question, how did you become a slave? I hope this kind of question won't offend you"

Maria looked down and starts to get restless

Hera noticed her uneasiness and sweared at herself for being curious.

"You don't have to answer, I am not commanding you" Hera hurriedly told them, just in case they misunderstood it as my command

"No Young Miss, you're our Master, It's natural for you to know" Dan said in firm voice

Hera wanted to correct his words but decided not to when she looked at how serious this kid is. I can't handle stubborn kids. She thought

"We came from a very poor family, even if we are poor, that bastar-no my father is an ex-prisoner who do nothing but gambling or sleep with different girls that's one of the reason why our money depreciate a lot, he doesn't have a job so it became our responsibility to make money, it become our job to feed him and give him money. Of course we wanted to give up on him but because he was still technically our father we chose not to. But 4 years ago.." Dan stopped talking, anger poured through him

Maria noticed that Dan wouldn't be able to finish the story and she decided to step in. "He was running out of money, so he decided to sell me for money, that night, he brought his friend with him, they tried to do horrible things with me and good thing my brother went home early and was able stop them from doing anything. I was traumatized. I felt dirty." Maria said with tears streaming down her face

Hera stood up and went to Maria to comfort her. Hera hugged her tightly.

"When I saw them trying to do stuff with my sister, I lost my sanity, I don't even know where I got the knife, next thing I knew I was stabbing them with knife and left them breathless. I killed them, I killed my father but I didn't regret it and that's when the police came, they asked me questions about why I did it or why did I kill my father, I told them my side but when they heard that we came from a poor family and much worse without a relative to rely on, instead of putting me to jail or sentencing me for execution, they sold me and my sister to the slave traders, since no one would be looking for us, it's an easy income for them, I want to save my sister but I am powerless against them, we can't even run. So we don't have a choice and that's when we met Sofia, she was the youngest in our batch, she was little at that time, she was just 5 years old at that time yet she was experiencing this world's cruelness."

"There was about twenty slave and we were the remaining ones. I fought all the sc.u.m who tried buy my sisters, Maybe they got annoyed and decided to cancel their purchase that's why they ended up cancelling the purchase and after how many failed purchase we met you Young Miss and we are very grateful that you were the one who bought us" Dan bowed his head with gratefulness to Hera

Hera sighed. This world is so messed up. I feel sorry for them "Why does slavery exist in this world?" Hera asked to the system

[You don't have to worry Host, this world is based on a novel, so this is not a real world] The system replied.

Hera sneered at the system "This might not be a real to you, but to them, it is"
