A/N: "It's going to be a disgusting story, so you may not like it."

T/N: Contains forced incest

A sobbing voice was echoing in the dimly lit room as dusk was approaching.

I don't know whose voice it is, but it probably belongs to more than one person.

There are a lot of women in this room, but no one tries to comfort them.

Because that's what they always do.

But I'm not strong enough to get used to the sobs and pretend not to be upset.

Just listening to them made me feel uneasy, and I pulled the blanket closer to my face.

"Are you cold, Sis?"

My younger brother, Kianes, responded to my movement and said in a quiet voice, "I'm cold, sister.

There is only one blanket in the house, and it is used by me and Kianes. I pulled the blanket away from him, and which he seems to have taken away from me.

"No, it's okay. I'm sorry."

"You can use it. It's cold, isn't it?"

With that, Kianes moves the blanket towards us.

"I'm fine. You're colder than me, aren't you? Here, it's warmer this way."

Kianes hands were bound with metal chains.

I'm already unchained, but I still remember the feeling of being tied up. The chains were chilled by the cold winter air, and it hurt so much that I thought my wrists would tear.

When I hugged Kianes and touched the chains, the unique coldness of the metal stole the body heat from my fingertips.

In order to make the chain a little warmer, I let out a gasp of air.

"Ow! ......!"

"The bruise. ......"

I'm sure it's because he's been bound by chains for so long that he has bruises on his wrists.

I felt sad when I saw the reddish-black color of her skin against the slight rays of the setting sun.

I wrapped Kianes' hands in a blanket so as not to expose him too much to the cold outside air.

"It's okay! I'm strong!"

Kianes was trying to be strong, but it was clear that he was pushing himself too hard.

If he stayed here, his mind would be exhausted before his body.

"Yes, you're right. But don't overdo it, okay?"

"I know, I know. I know. And don't push yourself too hard either. I'll protect you."

"Thank you."

I felt tears well up in my eyes as I saw my brother trying his best to keep his promise to his father even in this situation.

"I want to go back to the village. ......"

"Yes. ......"

When I closed my eyelids to cover my moist eyes, all I could think of were the memories of the village.

Kianes and I were born in a small village in the mountains.

It's an ordinary farming village where not many merchants come.

We always had a hard time finding money, but our family was always happy together.

It was not long ago that all of this life was destroyed.

It all started when a merchant told the village about a rumor. The rumor was that the city of Nambonan was looking for mercenaries at an unbelievable rate.

Nambonan City is a rich city.

I knew it well because I had been there several times with my father to sell crops, and since a rich city was recruiting mercenaries, I was sure they would be paid well.

My thoughts were the same as the thoughts of everyone in the village.

My father, brother, and other men from the village had gone to Nambonan City as mercenaries and rarely returned.

I was told by one of the men who escaped with his life that Nambonan City was gathering mercenaries to fight against the Lord.

There are only commoners in Nambonan City, not even knights. It's really a terrible story.

If I had known that they were recruiting mercenaries to fight against the lord, my father and brother would never have gone to Nambonan City.

My father and brother never came back. All the remaining members of the family spent many days in sorrow.

But the misfortune was not over yet.

Most of the mercenaries that Nambonan City had gathered were killed or captured by the lord, but it seems that some of them escaped.

One of the mercenaries that escaped came to our village and started looting.

The mercenaries took many things from our village. Not only money and food, but also the lives of everyone in the village.

It just so happened that we had a place to hide in the barn, which saved me, my mom and Kianes.

It was only the three of us left in the family for a month, but we didn't have time to be depressed.

There was nothing left in the house, and not many survivors in the village.

Kianes and I began to go into the mountains to gather food to help our mother.

Then one day, Kianes and I went to the river to catch fish.

We were so engrossed in catching fish that we didn't notice the kidnappers who approached us.

No, even if we had noticed them, we would not have been able to escape. There was no way that Kianes and I would have been able to defeat the grown men.

This is how Kianes and I were caught by the kidnappers and brought to Nambonan City.

The kidnapper was apparently a servant of a merchant who works in Nambonan City.

I think it's ironic that we were kidnapped by a merchant in Nambonan City.

Not only did they cheat on my father and brother, but they also kidnapped me and Kianes.

Most of the women are kidnapped by the same kidnappers as me and Kianes, and locked in this room.

The entrance and exit of the room has metal bars, so it is a prison itself, except that the people inside have not committed any crime.

"I hope mother is well. ......"

Me and Kianes suddenly disappeared. I wondered if my mother was okay.

I wondered if she was worried about us.

I found myself with tears running down my cheeks.

"Don't cry, Sis. I'm with you, so please, don't cry. ...... sister......"

I had to be strong as a big sister, but I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

My tears seemed to have become a catalyst for Kianes' tears, and her voice gradually became tearful.

"It's okay, it's okay, ....... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Kianes. ......"

I hugged his to my chest so that he could not see my face.

It was a little while later, when the area was completely dyed in the dark.

"There was even a boy here ....... Are they sister and brother ......?"

An adult woman sitting close to me must have noticed that we were talking quietly, because she started talking to me.

Most of the people who were brought here were very dark, but sometimes they were very talkative.

As far as I knew, Kianes was the only boy in the room, so she might have been curious and wanted to talk to him.

"Yes, I'm Tico."

"and I'm Kianes."

The woman also gave her name, and we talked about our villages.

While I was in a depressed mood, I could forget about reality while we talked about our memories.

The woman seemed to like gossip, and often told stories that she must have acquired in this house.

"The owner of this house is said to be a famous merchant in Nambonan City, though he was born in the Levios territory, not Nambonan City. Would you understand if I said Levios Kingdom?"

I only knew the name because it was the domain of the king of the Levios Kingdom.

I don't know where it is, but it must be so far away that you have to cross the great river three times to get there.

"I know the name."

"I know the name, too. I heard it from an old man in the neighborhood."

When I said that, the woman gave me a heartfelt look of disgust and said as if to throw up.

"So, do you know this? People in Levios' territory don't mind doing bad things, you know? Do you know why?

We had been kidnapped and brought here, and I knew from experience that they were people who didn't mind doing bad things.

We both looked at each other and had a look of uncertainty on our faces.

"In Levios' domain, children who break the spirit's teachings are praised."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"It's not true."

Kianes and I denied the woman's words.

The woman did not seem to be offended and continued.

"No, it's true. No, it's true, I heard it. I heard that all the children in Levios' territory ignore the teachings of the spirits. I had a talk with a priest who was traveling there, and he told me that. Levios territory is a really scary place. ......!"

The woman seemed to be really frightened by what she had said, which made me feel uneasy.

"The owner of this place was born in the Levios territory, so he could do such atrocious things ....... ...... I hate it. ......"

The woman was no longer looking at me or Kianes.

She must have been taken out of her room several times before.

At night here, men called "servants" come in and take away a few women.

I don't know what kind of criteria they use to select them, but I was told that the women who were unlucky enough to be taken were treated badly in another room.

The women would come back to this room the next morning, looking pitifully weak.

Some of the women never come back. No one talks about it, but I think they must be dead.

This is why women who have experienced the "outside room" even once begin to sob in the evening.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Kianes and I have never left this room since we were brought here.

We even poo and pee in the tub in the corner of the room. There was no room for escape.

As I pondered what to say to the woman who was beginning to give off a gloomy vibe, a loud voice echoed through the room.

"There are footsteps! Coming ......! Ah, ahhh!"

The surroundings were already dark, and I couldn't tell who was saying those words.

But the tone of his voice, tinged with fear, was so sharp that it pierced my brain.

The sharp words easily cut through what little peace was left in the room.

Everyone raced to wrap themselves in blankets and hide from the servants who would be coming.

"Sis!"

"Yes!"

For the time being, I imitated everyone else and got under the blanket.

It's a good thing that I'm not the only one.

"Aaahhhh! Aaaaah!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched scream was heard from behind the blanket, followed by a thick male voice that seemed to control it.

The servants were trying to take the woman away.

"Get up now! Come here!"

"Help me! No! No more! Take me back to the village! Help me! Somebody help me! Dad! Dad!"

My hands tighten around the blanket.

I'm scared.

The woman's scream was getting farther and farther away. It was as if I was sinking into the depths of darkness.

"Heee!"

"Aaah!"

I could hear the sound of a blanket being flipped over, as if it was looking for someone.

It was approaching us with a scream and at a great speed.

"Sis, ......."

"Kianes, it's okay, it's okay. ......"

I said to myself.

I could not remain silent, even though my voice might be heard.

I couldn't contain the fear that was rising in my throat.

"Kyaaa!"

Suddenly, the blanket was taken away with a tremendous force.

When I opened my eyes, there were two men standing there.

"Is this him?"

"Yes, that's him. He has a sister."

He was looking for me. ......

My heart began to beat wildly and my hands began to shake as I realized that I was about to be taken out of the room.

The shaking was even transmitted to Kianes, who was in close contact with me.

"Stop it! Don't take my sister!"

Kianes slipped in between the two servants and me and stood up.

But the servants only looked at me.

"Your name is Tico, right? I'm taking you with me. Now get up."

"Just be quiet, boy."

The taller servant's hand reaches out to grab me.

It was Kianes who reacted quickly.

"I'll protect you, sister!"

Kianes kicked the taller servant in the shin as hard as he could.

The only problem was that his hands were chained together, making it difficult for him to keep his center of gravity.

Besides, Kianes was only twelve years old, and his strength was far below that of a muscular adult male servant.

But it seemed to be enough to make the servant angry.

"You little bastard!"

A dry sound echoed in the room as the servant slapped Kianes on the cheek.

The sound was so loud that I couldn't help but imagine the pain Kianes had suffered, and I felt a cold sweat run down my spine.

Another woman screamed in response to the violence, which set off a chain of events that sent the room into a frenzy.

"Hey! You've been taking advantage of me! You're a man, and you need to know that I'm letting you stay in this room out of pity?

Kianes' hair was gripped tightly by the violent servant and he was forced to turn his face upwards.

I tried to say I was sorry, to ask for forgiveness for what Kianes had done.

But I couldn't move. I was scared.

I was just scared that a grown man would use violence in such an intimidating way.

"Hey, don't do that. Take the brother with you, don't let him get hurt yet."

"Oh ...... Oh, right. ...... Damn it, that's why I hate male kids. I'm sure you'll be fine with just this girl. I'm not sure what to do with him."

I felt my skin crawl at the lowly smile of the violent man, but I was more worried about Kianes.

He was thrown out of the room and lay on the floor shaking. He must be crying.

"If you don't want to end up like your brother, get up. This is the last time I'm going to be nice to you."

The shorter servant's tone was calm and cool, but there was an eeriness to him that the violent servant didn't have.

It's a ruthless feeling.

I stood up, trying not to make any pretense of disobeying the ruthless servant.

My legs were shaking with fear, and I could feel that my knees were about to break.

My whole body was shaking, and my breath was labored as if I were drowning at the bottom of the water.

Even so, I mustered up my small, squeezed heart and continued to stand.
