CHAPTER 374
The barbarian race is a race of born warriors, whether women or men, so it is not strange that they have tall statures and strong bodies. Men generally measure around 2 meters and women average 1.8 meters.
It is because of these same characteristics that barbarians generally do not associate romantically or sexually with other races, as men tend to be strong in relationships and consider women of other races weak.
On the other hand, barbarian women are also attracted to strong warriors. While it is true that strong men exist in all races, barbarian women prefer tall and burly men, as they are synonymous with strong warriors.
Unfortunately, as in all races, slaves exist, and subduing a barbarian, whether male or female, is not difficult. The woman in front of Andrew actually has thoughts like these.
Although she prefers tall and strong men, being a slave she knows that she no longer has the freedom to choose her partner. For this reason, she did not feel any repulsion towards Andrew because he was not a man according to her tastes.
Despite this disagreement, she knew that she had to satisfy Andrew, to have better treatment as a slave. Without any hesitation, the woman approached Andrew and stopped a few centimeters from where he was standing.
Andrew did not attack immediately, as he wanted to appreciate the beauty he had in front of him, so he began to walk around her as if checking her attributes. The girl remained static as if Andrew did not exist.
This surprised Andrew, because it didn't matter if she was a slave, no one had the composure to remain peaceful when they were looked like Andrew was looking at her right now.
This made Andrew curious and he couldn't help but ask, "I'm surprised by your composure. Don't my actions bother you?", to which the woman answered sincerely, "I am now your property, it is normal to evaluate the product you purchased". Experience more tales on empire
The girl's response surprised Andrew even more, but soon after his expression changed to one of sadness. Andrew, because of the memories of his past life, was not very sympathetic to slavery, but he still had to use it, because he had to adapt.
Despite this, he did not want his slaves to see themselves as objects, as he felt they lost their value. Although it may sound contradictory, Andrew has always thought that a free person will always be more valuable than an enslaved one.
Sonia and the other courtesans of the Cannaris Palace were the proof. They all started out as slaves, although a slave contract did not bind them, but now that they are free, they are more enthusiastic about their work, which has given Andrew better benefits.
Knowing this, he wanted to correct the attitude of these new courtesans and asked, "Have you spoken to Sonia?", to which the girl replied with a short, "Yes." Andrew smiled bitterly at how uncommunicative the girl was and so he asked again, "Didn't she tell you that you could earn your freedom if you work hard?"
At Andrew's question for the first time, he could see a change in the girl's expression. This surprised him because he thought that all the new girls would already know this, but seeing the confused expression of the woman in front of him, he understood that he was wrong.
Because of this, Andrew had to delay what he planned to do because he could not leave this matter unsolved. While it's true that he could fuck this barbarian and then tell them all the benefits she would get from working hard, Andrew knew that if he did it this way it wouldn't be pleasurable.
Sighing, Andrew said, "Come on, we need to talk to the other girls." Although the woman did not understand what was happening, she nodded slightly and followed Andrew to the room where Sonia and the other courtesans were training the future courtesans of the Star Palace.
When Sonia saw Andrew arrive in the company of the girl she had just sent, she wrinkled her eyebrows, because she knew that they couldn't have finished so quickly and immediately assumed that something had happened.
"What is happening, young master?" Sonia asked, approaching. Although she was worried, it didn't reflect on her actions, and Andrew, seeing her composure, smiled, because he could only applaud her internally for maintaining a calm expression even when she knew something had happened.
Sonia had become very clever and Andrew was surprised at the great change she had undergone since receiving the apostle seal, but he did not praise her, but instead lectured her, "Sonia, why haven't you explained the benefits to the girls?".
Hearing Andrew's question, Sonia wrinkled her face and tilted her head as if she didn't understand the question. Upon noticing this, Andrew sighed and said, "They don't know anything about their possible freedom and other benefits."
These words made Sonia widen her eyes because she understood what was happening. She hadn't really told them anything, but this wasn't because she wanted to hide this information, but rather she thought that the other girls helping her train these new courtesans had already told them about it.
Incredulous Sonia turned to look at the other girls as if asking, "Didn't you tell them anything?", to which the other courtesans, understanding this, made expressions as if to say, "We thought you had already told them."
Seeing how the girls and Sonia exchanged glances, Andrew understood what had happened. In short, Sonia assumed that her teammates had told them and in turn the girls thought that Sonia had already said it.
Letting out a sigh, Andrew said, "Well, that doesn't matter. Please tell them everything, I can come another day to evaluate their performance." Sonia smiled embarrassedly and replied apologetically, "I'm sorry, young master, it's my mistake."
Andrew didn't pursue this matter much, because it wasn't anything serious, so smiling he said again, "Don't worry, just tell them, I'll come back another day." With that Andrew left and Sonia gathered all the new girls.
"I thought the girls had already told you this, but it seems I made the wrong assumption," Sonia suddenly said and continued, "No wonder you seemed so unmotivated."
The new girls were confused by Sonia's words, but she paid them no attention and began to tell them about the benefits and possible rewards that they would receive if they did a good job.
Sonia explained everything to them calmly and in detail and the new courtesans were increasingly surprised the more they listened. When Sonia finished her explanation of the girl who had met with Andrew, immediately asked, "Are you saying that if we do a good job as courtesans he will give us our freedom?"
"Not only that, even if you are slaves, you will receive a salary for your services, as well as various products for your care and beauty," Sonia said, causing the girls to gasp, as they couldn't believe it.
Atna noticed that the new girls still seemed reluctant to believe Sonia's words and she intervened, "Girls, Sonia's words are true. All of us were in a similar situation to yours, but now we are free."
The new girls didn't seem to believe her either and one of the elves asked, "If what you said is true, why do you still work as courtesans?", to which Sonia responded with a smile, "Because we like this job."
The elf who had just asked, as well as the other girls, did not believe her, because what woman would want to work selling her body? And as if knowing their thoughts, Sonia said, "I know you don't believe me. Wait a moment".
Then, Sonia left the room and after a few minutes, she returned with a scroll in her hand. The contracts that Sonia and the other courtesans had were different from those of slavery, but their restrictions were not different.
Sonia showed them the parchment that was her contract. There, Sonia's conditions were established as Andrew's property and when the new girls saw this they were surprised.
They knew that, although this contract was much less effective than the slavery contract they had, the fact that Sonia had it in her possession was proof that she was free since Andrew had no way of holding them without it.
However, the elf who asked a moment ago seemed very intelligent and said, "The young master could have lent it to you, how do we know that you are really free?", to which Sonia responded by taking out a matchstick and burning the parchment.
The new girls were surprised by her action, but the elf still refused to accept and said, "Surely there is another contract," to which Sonia could only smile bitterly because she did not expect this elf to be so distrustful.
Letting out a sigh of resignation, Sonia said with authority, "You know, it doesn't matter if I'm lying to you, in the end, you're a slave, right?" Sonia's words made the elf shudder because Sonia was right.
There was no reason to lie to them since they were slaves. Whether they wanted to or not, they still had to do what they were told. Understanding this, the elf couldn't help but ask again, this time a little embarrassed, "Aren't you really lying to us?", to which Sonia replied, "It's true."
"It may seem strange to you, but we really are free and we do this because we want to. The young master takes good care of us, protects us, and treats us with respect and dignity. Over time you will notice too", Sonia added.
Seeing the sincerity on Sonia's face, the new girls became excited and now had expressions of longing and hope. Although they knew they might be being deceived, the hope they had been given was not small, so they eagerly began to ask more questions.
Sonia and the other courtesans of the Cannaris Palace answered all the questions one by one and when they cleared all their doubts, they resumed training, but this time with a different attitude.
