The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 76 - SLAVE GIRL NAMED RAZEL

“ You know him Merlin? “ ask General full question mark.

“ Well, I met him once master when in the city center, the royal guard pushed him to fall“ explained Merlin as he embraced the girl.

“ What's your name? “ ask General Luzen's wife.

“ I Razel..” The girl's tiny lips mention a name with still holding back a little of her crying.

“ Razel,.Well, now that you are ours, let's go home “ said Merlin.

Finally they took him home and boarded the caravan.

Merlin sat next to her husband, General Luzen, while Razel, the jet-black haired girl, sat before them.

In the caravan, the general had a look at the girl, and was a little fascinated, considering when he first saw Merlin, young, innocent and beautiful.

The general's gaze was caught by Razel's clear black eyes, but the girl quickly lowered her head not daring to look at the General.

“ Razel, why can you be sold into slavery? “ asked Merlin to break the silence on the caravan.

“ That time I was with my father already packed up and wanted to move to Drake's castle, we decided to move, we, because in Hazmut the taxes are very high and many of the royal officials are greedy and often arbitrary to the people.

But when I was about to leave, someone found out about our plan and reported it to the royal side.

I was told to run all the way by my father, so that my father was caught, I watched him myself from a distance, he was beaten and forced to become a Hazmut warrior, and in a different place I was captured by bandits, then the bandits handed me over to the slave merchant by asking for a high fee “

“ Do you want to Drake's fortress? “ this time the General opens the voice.

“Yes sir, because what I heard there was very prosperous, the leader was very wise and had managed to conquer the Zeron army “ Razel looked down not to look at the General when he spoke.

The general smiled and looked at his wife.

“ Damn your fate Razel, means your father is still in Hazmut? “ ask Merlin back.

“ Yes, I parted from my father “ Razel said.

The general whispered something to Merlin.

“ Razel, we will free you from your status as a slave, now you are free, you may choose to stay anywhere, but I hope you can stay with us at Drake fortress “ said Merlin.

“ But madam, I have promised myself, whoever sets me free from confinement in the slave market and he treats me well, then I will be his faithful service. So ladies, and gentlemen.let me remain your faithful servant, you need not free me from my slave status. “ Razel said with a slight plea.

Merlin and the General threw each other a glance. They were confused by Razel's decision.

“ But, don't you want to be Razel's free man? “ asked Merlin a little still astonished.

“ No matter madam, I want to serve someone who has helped me, I want to be a servant, after all I have no place to go home “ Razel said.

“ Um, well.well if that's your will.” said Merlin.

They finally reached Drake's fortress.

As he got off the caravan, Merlin approached Razel. While the General met Ghosse and passed to the castle hall.

“ Not yet mistress “

“ He was before you, and I was his wife “ Merlin smiled at Razel.

“ Ha?.so it was Mr Luzen? And the mistress is the mistress Merlin?.really?.” Razel's innocent face is like a kid who just met his idol.

“ Yes. Come on Razel, I'll take you to your room “ Merlin embraces Razel and leaves the castle grounds.

Five days later. Merlin continued to monitor Razel, the girl was very diligent, dexterous and strong, not easily tired. Merlin was more and more sympathetic towards him.

In front of the vineyard, Razel met Merlin who was sowing grape seeds.

“ Mistress, I have cleaned the medicine rack, swept the floor of the hall and dried the children's bed linen, what else should I do madam?..would I help sowing the grape seeds? “ Razel reported politely while his two hands put together were in front.

“ Ah, your work is so fast Razel, it seems like one of you is the equivalent of two workers,.” Merlin's small laugh made Razel's reddish cheeks pop up holding her smile.

“ Alright, you please clean my room, because aunt who used to clean is not feeling well, please change the curtains all of you yes, and after that rest “ orders Merlin.

“ Good mistress “ Razel slightly lowered her head and then passed taking equipment to clean Merlin's room.

Razel's headed for the General and Merlin's room. He slowly opened the wooden door. Then start cleaning the room.

Starting from sweeping the floor, cleaning the table from dust, wiping the mirror and starting to change the curtains.

He shook the curtains that were half open, he sneezed because of the dust flying from the curtains.

‘ Turns out it must be replaced ‘ Razel murmured in his mind.

Razel dragged the small chair next to the table and rode it, as his body was not up to reach the top of the curtains high enough.

The girl began to put up curtains with small maroon-colored flowers.

In between the door that opened a little, the General who passed through his room accidentally turned to look at the girl, at once he was shocked by the presence of Razel in his room.

‘ What is he doing in my room? ‘ muttered the General, and wanted to reprimand him immediately.

But his steps stopped for a moment when his fingers had not yet touched the door that had indeed opened, he saw a sight that fascinated him.

Razel, the girl rolled up her black hair, leaving strands of dancing hair on the side of her forehead and her nape in the breeze from the window, with tiny, reddish lips, also her beautiful eyes with perfectly curved eyelashes from the side, her face in the golden light from behind the window painted such a perfect silhouette.

For a moment the general was silent with the sight before his eyes. It was as if he had forgotten his intention to reprimand Razel who was in his room.

At once Razel accidentally turned to the General who was watching him from the open door, and the girl was surprised not to play, so her body was not balanced because of shock, then he fell out of the little chair he was in…

“ Aaa!! “…

BUCK!!...

The general spontaneously went into the room and was about to help him, without thinking about it the man ran over to Razel and leaned over, holding the girl's slender arms and waist to help her stand up.
