I opened the door.

Elena stood outside the door in her pajamas. A fresh scent of petals wafted towards me. Her hair wasn’t completely dry. She’d obviously just taken a shower.

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

“Young Master Will, it’s so late. What are you doing?”

Elena looked at the gunpowder powder that I’d just finished mixing on my table and asked curiously.

“I’m just making a toy. Don’t worry about it. Elena, let me ask you, do you know the backgrounds of the maidservants who came with you?”

I returned to my seat and asked Elena.

“Yes, I do. Lord Zucker asked me to record the backgrounds of all the high-end ‘horse shows’ so that I can introduce them to the guests in more detail and eliminate their worries.”

Elena’s bright eyes dimmed a little as she lowered her eyes and replied.

“Tell me more.”

“Yes, Young Master. Of the nine maids who followed me here, only one of them is a pure human. The rest are half-orcs from the demon territory. According to Lord Zucker, they are the same as that fox girl. They also have the blood of half-orcs in their bodies. It’s just that their characteristics are not obvious enough.”

“Is that what the circus owner told you?”

“Yes.”

“What’s the situation with that human girl?”

“She was adopted by Lord Zucker. Someone sold her to the circus. Lord Zucker saw that she was pretty, so he let her live with the slave girls.”

“Do you know about the experiences of those half-orc girls in the demon territory?”

“I don’t. Lord Zucker didn’t tell me. Well, Young Master, I was actually sold to the circus because my family was poor. It’s just that my memory is better than others, so Lord Zucker kept me by his side to nurture me…”

Elena’s voice trailed off as she spoke.

I didn’t ask any more questions. I leaned back in my chair and recalled Evelyn’s guess.

Just as she had thought, the slave girls were mostly half-orcs. Only very few humans were sold to Zucker because of their family.

Zucker only told Elena such information because he didn’t want the buyers to doubt the background of the slave girls.

Based on these statements, Evelyn’s guess was most likely correct. However, if I want to be completely sure, I would have to ask the circus owner, Zucker.

“Young Master, is there anything troubling you? Why don’t you let Elena massage your shoulders? Elena’s skills are pretty good.”

Elena looked at me, who was frowning, and asked.

“There’s no need. Elena, go back and rest early. I still have a lot of things to trouble you with tomorrow.”

I sat up straight and replied to Elena.

It was a taboo for assassins to let others touch their bodies at will. Once it becomes a habit, it would make them lose their vigilance.

This kind of thing, in words, was a sixth sense.

It’s just like being watched on the streets. Even if you don’t see it, you can still sense that someone is watching you. Moreover, you can even lock onto the target the moment you turn around.

“Ah?! Young Master Will… don’t you need Elena to serve you? I thought that once you were done asking…”

Elena was stunned for a moment before looking at me in disappointment. Her face turned slightly red.

I was also stunned. It was good to be enlightened, but could you not be so enlightened in this aspect? Look at how old I am.

Speaking of which, I didn’t seem to have told Elena my age…

“Ahem! Elena, don’t think too much about such things if I don’t mention it.”

I replied with a cold face.

“Yes, but you called me over so late at night. I’m a slave you bought for 15 kingdom gold coins…”

Elena replied aggrievedly, crossing her arms and squeezing them against her chest, her nightgown sinking into a deep cleft.

It had to be said that she seemed to be even more tempting than before…

I looked away a little.

This was the knowledge that Zucker had imparted to them. Together with the effect of the slave brand, the person who bought them could order them around at will…

Just imagining it was enough to make one’s blood boil.

Perhaps.

I could try using the Devil’s Contract on Elena. As something created by the goddess, it should have a stronger dominance than the legendary legacy of the Demon King.

If I could properly convey my thoughts to Elena, she might become an even more reliable helper in the future.

“Elena, have you ever tested your magic attributes?”

I asked.

“No. Lord Zucker would never let us learn magic.”

Elena shook her head.

I realized immediately that I had asked a stupid question.

That’s right, it was impossible for a slave owner to buy a slaves that would pose a threat to him.

There were too many things that magic could do. Even wind and water magic, which were mostly used for support and healing, had their own offensive incantations.

Once a slave learned magic, they would have the ability to perish together with their master under certain conditions, especially such slaves who cater to their master’s fetish.

“Give me your hand. I’ll use a spell on you. With luck, you might become a Mage.”

I held out my hand to Elena.

“Become a Mage… Young Master Will, are you joking? Elena is just a slave. I’m not worth it…”

Elena stared at me in shock. She took two steps back and waved her hands frantically.

“Whether it’s worth it or not, it’s up to me to decide. Moreover, it’s only a possibility. If you don’t have the talent to awaken magic, this spell will at most strengthen the connection between our consciousnesses. I don’t have to say anything and you will understand what I mean. Come.”

I gestured with my finger again.

Only then did Elena hesitantly put her hand in mine and close her eyes.

“Relax, Elena. Let go of your consciousness.”

“Mm…”

The moment my consciousness entered Elena’s mind.

Crack!

Something shattered.

Elena quickly opened her eyes and touched her neck.

“Young Master Will, this is!!”

“Nothing. I just unsealed your slave brand.”

Just as I thought, the goddess’s Devil’s Contract successfully removed the slave brand and replaced it.

“Young Master Will, is… is this really good for you? Elena being a slave is clearly more beneficial to you. Are you really not afraid…”

Elena was so excited that her words became incoherent.

“Alright, alright, Elena. I know what you’re trying to say. Even without the slave brand, I believe you won’t betray me, right? Moreover, this spell will connect our consciousnesses. As long as I want to, I can know what you’re thinking. So, don’t think too highly of me.”

Looking at Elena, who was overwhelmed with excitement, I still ended up casting a damp on her.

At the end of the day, I was still making use of her more. Even if I’d removed the slave brand, I was only using another method to control her.

If she continued to think for me like this, I would feel a little sorry.

“No, the moment Young Master Will bought Elena without any desire, Elena decided that you were the best master. No matter what, Young Master Will is Elena’s master,”

Elena said with certainty.
