The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

However, these little loli slaves are really pitiful. They are all thin and skin and bones. Only a few of them have tattered and dirty clothes, while most of the lolis don't even have clothes.

I saw them naked, in groups of two or three, huddled together, trembling as they looked at me.

It's clear that they're the kind of girls that are hard to sell, because normal people generally wouldn't choose lolis or young girls, who have no figure, no buttocks, and aren't really capable of doing manual labor.

If I'm not mistaken, those who buy these loli characters are basically the kind who play with them once and then discard them... so their lives are extremely tragic.

Although they are all quite pitiful, I am not in the charity business, so it is impossible for me to buy them all.

Besides, my funds are limited.

"Well, has there been any you fancy, Your Highness?"

Since that's the case, I'll take a look around and see if the big-breasted loli I'm hoping for will be born here.

however……

Unfortunately, there wasn't a single busty loli I could even find attractive (〃＞皿＜)！！

Just as I finished inspecting the last loli slave, a very ordinary magical energy suddenly rushed towards me, and it even resonated slightly with the magical energy within my own body...

This magical power could absolutely not have originated from a human; perhaps it was…

Chapter Nine: The Grayish-White Werewolf Loli

There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious around here...

As I was looking around, a dark paper wall, at least the size of a door, caught my attention not far away.

Could it be that place?

Or perhaps it's in this half of the cage, which is covered by a black cloth?

Since both possibilities are possible, let's take it one step at a time.

"Speaking of which, what is this other half?"

Now that Robert has removed the row of black cloth covers on the left, let's start the investigation from the closest one.

"Ah, this way... I suggest Your Highness, you'd better not look here, this is..."

Before she could finish speaking, my eyes were already close to the nearest black cloth cover, and using the dim light around me, I peered through the gaps in the cover.

"Holy crap... what the hell is in here?"

I was startled and my body went numb. I quickly took several steps back and fell to the ground.

"vomit……"

Suddenly, an overwhelming wave of nauseating acid shot up my throat, and I immediately turned my head to the side and vomited the acidic liquid...

Because... I saw it...

A bunch of indescribable things, if I'm not mistaken...

These must be people who have already begun to rot and decay?

Even more serious cases... have colorful internal organs spilling out, with countless white worms wriggling incessantly on them...

As I was thinking about it, the acid in my stomach suddenly surged up into my throat again, and I vomited once more.

"Your Highness, I haven't finished yet... Those are basically slaves with incurable diseases. Even if they are alive, they don't have much time left... So we can only leave them to die. When the designated date arrives, I will send someone to drag them away and dispose of them."

Indeed... I've come to truly realize now that slaves truly have no human rights in this world...

Even if they were sick, slave traders would generally not provide them with medical treatment.

Unless it's a "goods" that can fetch a high price, such as the busty older sister slaves displayed at the entrance, they will generally consider it on a case-by-case basis, because merchants always make decisions with profit as the primary consideration.

"Speaking of which... back to the point, do you... have something even more amazing hidden away?"

After vomiting for a while and finally returning to normal, I wiped the filth from the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand and forced a wicked smile onto my face.

Because my body has felt that magical power more than once, and the last fluctuation of the magic power became increasingly violent, it can be determined that this unusual magic power should have the same intelligence as a human.

"What are you saying... Your Highness?"

Upon hearing what I said, Robert couldn't help but take off his round top hat, pick up the handkerchief at his waist, and begin wiping the cold sweat from his bald head. It was clear that he had something to hide.

"Let me give you an example. Would you possibly be harboring orcs?"

This is just my guess, because there should be beastmen in this other world, and they should be the fierce and powerful kind...

With such violent magic, it's impossible for it to be a docile race like elves. The only one that comes to mind is... orcs.

"How did you know...?"

In an instant, Robert was speechless, and the lens of his glasses cracked with a "snap".

Then he quickly covered his mouth, apparently having let something slip.

"What?! You dare to harbor orcs? That's a serious crime!"

As she spoke, Louise once again grabbed the sharp knight's sword from her waist and swung it directly at Robert.

"Ahhhh!"

Indeed, when faced with the legendary strike from General Louise, Robert immediately closed his eyes and screamed in terror.

However, Louise's sword did not strike him; instead, it struck the wooden box next to him.

In an instant, the large box was split in two, and what appeared to be grain inside was scattered all over the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just that the slave market has been so difficult lately that I have to spend a lot of money to smuggle some orcs... to sell to some nobles for their ornamental purposes... It's purely out of necessity. Please, Your Excellency General and Your Highness Princess, spare my life."

It seems that Robert was truly terrified this time, as he quickly knelt on the ground and began desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

It is understood that even if the orcs' lair is conquered and any live orcs are captured, they are generally not allowed to live. The main reason is that orcs have extremely keen hearing and sense of smell. Even if they are imprisoned in the death row in the castle, they can basically be detected by their own kind. Of course, the final result is to summon their companions and forcibly attack the city to take them back.

Therefore, unless it's through illegitimate channels, such as smuggling, where orcs are captured from distant lands and transported here, the possibility of their companions finding them can be largely avoided. As a result, the labor costs, smuggling fees, and food costs for the orcs are extremely high.

However, this is also why the Kingdom of Allen has ordered a ban on smuggling orcs. The main reason is that the risk cannot be reduced to zero. If the orc can be completely tamed, the royal city can turn a blind eye. If not, as long as the orc injures someone, the captured owner will basically be hanged, and the smuggling orc will be executed on the spot, not to mention the slave traders who smuggle orcs.

"In that case, show us around."

I've only ever seen beastmen in anime, so I don't know if they have those cute animal ears and fluffy tails.

Just thinking about it makes my heart pound with excitement (p≧w≦q)!

“Oh, Your Highness…”

Louise was taken aback by my decision, as she hadn't expected that instead of executing Robert, I would go and see the orcs.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness, I will show you the way right away."

After saying that, Robert seemed to see a glimmer of hope when he heard that I wanted to see the orcs. He scrambled and crawled towards the dark paper wall that was about the size of a door.

"Let's follow suit."

We glanced at each other, then passed through the dark paper wall about the size of the door, and then through a metal tunnel, into a cold and damp room.

Of course, the wonderful magic that I resonated with also began to grow stronger.

Sure enough... the orc who called out to me was inside!

"However... Your Highness, your perception is too strong! I didn't expect you to be able to sense the orcs from so far away,"

"Okay, then open that for me."

I quickly pointed to the square cage covered with a black cloth that resonated with my magic and said.

"Ah...this, this is..."

Seeing the direction I was pointing, Robert panicked even more, as if there were orcs inside who didn't want anyone to know.

"I told you to open it, didn't you hear me?! (oへo╬)"

Seeing his dawdling and hesitant manner, I really wanted to kick his big, ball-like butt.

"Alright then... since Your Highness insists on seeing it..."

With his weakness in his hands, Robert had no choice but to lift the huge black cloak, take the key from his waist, and open the outermost iron cage with only a small skylight. The cage then collapsed in all directions as if it had been dismantled.

It seems that this slave trader went to great lengths to prevent the orc from escaping.

In an instant, the iron cage crashed to the ground, and a small, gray-white figure came into view in the dim light.

"Awooo——————!"

Upon seeing the grayish-white figure in the light, it let out a howl like a wolf, and instantly a strong gust of wind, along with some lighter objects around it, swept directly towards everyone.

This forced everyone to cover their heads in case they were hit.

But this sound...

So young and innocent, they're just too cute!

"This must be a werewolf..."

This is the first time I've ever seen such an adorable little werewolf... It seems there's no need to worry about the slave selection this time.

I've decided on her!

Once the lights fully illuminated the cage, it was indeed true that the little werewolf was very small, and looked to be about the same age as me, around five or six years old.

She had long, dark gray hair, a pair of long, furry ears that were dark gray and white, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes that stared at us with hostility. Most importantly, despite her extremely thin body, she had a chest that was around a C cup!
