"Well, it was a wonderful magic. I am impressed that you were able to use such magic so effortlessly and without chanting!

"Who are you?"

I ask briefly, wary of a middle-aged man approaching me, rubbing his hands.

His smile deepens and he opens his hand wide for Sam.

"You don't have to be so cautious. I am just a small merchant. I have a doctor with me, if you would like him to examine Miss Erica.

"You have a doctor?"

Yes, of course. We are traveling with a trading company, so we have several doctors.

What is your purpose?

The merchant's offer was appreciated, but it did not seem to be just out of the goodness of his heart.

To tell the truth, I would like to show Erica to the doctor right away, but I do not want to get into trouble again as a result.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just a merchant who wants to sell my services to the Countess Walker family.

"What? ...... Countess Walker?"

Lizzie and the others, still kneeling on the ground, responded to the merchant's words.

"Oh? Were you all unaware that Lady Erica is the daughter of Countess Walker, and were you two fighting with each other? It seems that you have been threatening the dummies with aristocrats since a few minutes ago, but your house might be more dangerous than ours, don't you think?"

"Oh, no."

Lizzie turned pale.

She had never dreamed that the person she was fighting with, using her status as a viscountess, was the daughter of a countess with a higher title.

But that's a story for later.

"It doesn't matter. But more importantly, you have a doctor, don't you?"

"Of course I'm here. Please come to my tent.

"Just to clarify, how do you know Erica?"

There is not a merchant in King's Landing who doesn't know who Erica is. She is the sister of the magician and former court wizard Ulrike. I find it rather unbelievable that these women would pick a fight with her without knowing it."

"It's not just good intentions, is it? What do you want? Let me be clear."

"That's my boy! You talk fast! No, no, we don't ask for money. I don't mean to be difficult. I'm just trying to make a profit for you, sir.

Don't be so presumptuous. Just say it.

"So, let's get straight to the point: Would you be willing to sell the three people you enslaved to me?"

"What?"

Sam was puzzled by the merchant's offer.

Frankly, I don't need slaves.

They made the move on their own, they lost, and I ended up with the slaves.

Considering Erika's pride, there was a possibility that she would throw the slaves out, saying she didn't need them.

"Apparently, Bo-chan doesn't need slaves, and they are in the way, aren't they? The Earls of Walker would not have to worry, but having these men as slaves would be troublesome. If so, would you be willing to sell them to me?"

In other words, they are willing to take care of the trouble.

Then there's no need to hesitate.

If Erica had stayed awake, she might have forgiven them and let them go, but not Sam.

There was no way she was going to release the people who had wronged her precious Ur's family, who had planned to enslave them.

"--Okay."

"Please don't! Please! If I had known you were Countess Walker, I would not have been so rude! My sincerest apologies! So!"

"Thank you for your decision. Slaves of noble birth are not always available, but they are in demand. Men and women alike are at the throats of every well-heeled man and woman.

"--Hey."

"Well, I'll give you what you want. I'd rather take Erica to the doctor as soon as possible."

"Yes, of course. I'm sorry. Then we'll discuss the price later. Now, please take Miss Erica to my tent. The doctor will be there.

Ignoring Lizzie's pleas for forgiveness, Sam and the merchant proceeded to leave.

The smiling merchant looks at them, and a group of people who appear to be his men approach from a distance and try to take the fallen Dorgana and Lizzie and the others away.

"Don't touch me! Please help me! Please!"

Lizzie screamed desperately and Lloyd resisted, but no one offered a helping hand.

The spectators, too, were defeated by the overwhelming difference in strength of the women, after they had decided on the duel and falsely accused each other, under the pretense of power.

They deserved what they got, and there was no reason to help them.

Sam ignored Lizzie's tearful pleas and headed for the merchant's tent with Erica in his arms.
