Born Without Magic… So What?

After Miyuki reached outside and walked a little farther, to a place where no one could see her, she finally became visible again.

But she still wasn’t satisfied.

She knew staying in the same appearance would only increase the risk.

So she activated the ring once more.

Her hair color slowly changed into a slightly dark green color.

Then she also changed the color of her dress so it matched her new hair.

After making sure everything looked natural, she quietly walked toward the market area.

On another side...

Arya and the others finally reached the place where they were taking the slaves.

When they arrived, Arya saw a massive wooden wall standing in the middle of the forest.

It was so large that it completely surrounded the entire area.

Soon, the huge wooden gate slowly opened.

One by one, all the horse carriages entered inside.

While Arya was still sitting on the horse carriage, he looked around carefully.

On top of the wooden wall, many guards were standing with weapons in their hands, watching every direction without lowering their guard.

More guards were stationed near the gate below.

The moment every carriage entered, the heavy wooden gate slowly closed behind them.

After entering inside, Arya saw many wooden houses built across the camp.

Many soldiers were walking around, while others were busy doing their own work.

Some were unloading supplies, while others were guarding different parts of the camp.

The entire place was heavily guarded.

At first glance...

It looked like an ordinary military camp.

But Arya immediately understood the truth.

This was a secret slave trader camp.

An illegal camp...

Secretly controlled and operated by the Lord of this area.

Then, after they entered the camp, a few minutes later they stopped in front of a big mansion.

All of the horse carriage guards climbed down from the carriages.

After leaving the horse carriages there, they walked toward another side of the camp where a small house stood.

That was the place where they would stay for tonight.

Arya quietly followed them without drawing any attention.

At the same time, several camp guards walked toward the horse carriages carrying the slaves.

They opened each carriage one by one.

Then they ordered all the slaves to come down.

The slaves were tied together with metal ropes.

No one dared resist.

Anyone who didn’t follow their orders was immediately hit with a wooden stick without mercy.

One after another...

All the slaves were forced to walk in a line.

The guards then took them underground.

Beneath the camp was a large underground jail.

After reaching there, the guards pushed every slave inside the prison cells and locked the heavy iron doors.

Meanwhile...

The last three horse carriages were taken to another part of the camp.

Those carriages were different from the others.

They were carrying drugs and many other important items.

Those goods were carefully taken toward the Lord’s mansion, where they would be personally inspected before being stored.

On another side, Miyuki had finished her work.

Now she went back to the hotel room where she was staying.

She was now waiting for tomorrow because, according to Arya’s plan, something big would happen tomorrow.

Before entering the restaurant, she became invisible again.

After making sure no one was watching, she quietly entered the restaurant and walked upstairs.

She returned to her room.

Once inside, she activated the ring again and changed her form back to normal.

It was already evening.

After resting for a while, she opened the door and came outside.

The little girl was still upstairs, busy cleaning and working.

Miyuki walked toward her and said,

"Today I’ll eat dinner in my room."

"Can you bring it there?"

The little girl smiled and nodded.

"Okay."

"I’ll bring it to your room."

"And what about Arya?"

Miyuki calmly replied,

"He said he’ll eat outside today."

"He wanted to try many different foods."

"So he’ll not eat dinner here tonight."

"After that, he wants to get some rest in his room because these past few days we traveled too far."

"He didn’t get proper rest."

"That’s why."

"And don’t disturb him."

The little girl nodded again.

"Okay."

"But what do you want to eat today?"

Miyuki smiled slightly.

"Just bring the same dinner you brought that day."

The little girl happily smiled.

"Okay."

"I’ll bring it soon."

After saying that, the little girl hurried downstairs to prepare the food.

Miyuki quietly watched her leave.

Then she slowly turned around and went back to her room.

Now...

All she could do was wait for tomorrow.

In the morning, Arya woke up early.

That night, he had slept together with the other guard members.

After everyone finished eating breakfast, they gathered in one place.

Arya also quietly joined them and stood with the others.

A few moments later, one member walked to the front.

He looked around before speaking.

"Today, at 8 AM, we’re leaving from here and returning to our kingdom."

"After that, we’ll head to another city where a big slave market is opening."

"We’ll deliver all the slaves there."

"Any questions?"

Arya slowly raised his hand.

"Yesterday we brought them here."

"Now we’re already going back."

"Is all the paperwork completed this fast?"

The moment Arya asked, all the other guards turned to look at him.

The man beside Arya immediately smiled awkwardly.

"He’s new."

"This is his first time here."

"That’s why he’s asking."

The man standing at the front laughed.

"That’s fine."

"In other government work, paperwork can take weeks... or even months."

"But not here."

"This is about slaves and drugs."

"So they prepare everything overnight."

"They work the whole night without stopping."

"That’s why everything is already finished before morning."

After hearing that, Arya quietly nodded as if he finally understood.

But inside...

He understood that in this world, for many nobles, the lives of villagers and other ordinary people were not important.

The only thing that mattered was their own needs and profits.

For those things...

They were willing to do anything, no matter how many innocent lives were sacrificed.
