_______________.

Border of Gyerre Territory and Moguro Empire.

After arriving at the border, Cage takes out several clothes from her spatial bag.

Hanna furrowed when she saw the clothes. "Why this is torn and dirty?" She asked.

Jack is also curious but continue wearing the clothes handed to him.

"We will infiltrate Moguro Empire as a slave." Cage answered.

"But Young Master Cale said that we should infiltrate as a travellers." Jack said, but he still continue wearing the rag like clothes.

The dirty and torn clothes is a great contrast to Jack pale skin. Even he was in disguise with brown hair and eyes but because of his clean and kind demeanor he didn't look like a slave at all.

"It is much easier to go to the empire as a slave than a traveller. I just forgot to mention it to the Young Master earlier." Cage said as she started wearing the clothes. "Don't worry, I'm an expert on this." She added.

The twins didn't asked anymore question and just followed what Cage instructed.

After wearing the clothes completely, Cage looks at the twins dissatisfied. She got some dirt and mud from who knows where and started to rub it on Jack and Hanna's face, hair and clothes. She also put some on her.

Hanna grumble. 'I will not let Mary see me look like sh*t'

After all the twists and turns to look like and smell as a slave, the siblings followed Cage on a narrow alleyway. It takes 15 minutes walk and several turns before they arrive in front of a dilapidated house in the slums.

The house looks abandoned, half of the roof is destroyed and the walls are full of holes from mites. This is a common sight in this place, as long as you will not check inside.

After sneaking inside the house, Jack gasped in horror.

Inside the dilapidated house are several malnourished children, sick old people and some women and men quivering. Their hands and feet are tied, some have bruised and bleeding.

Jack wants to check on a child laying motionless on the corner as if he was already dead, but Cage stopped him.

"We will save them later but first we need to infiltrate in Moguro Empire."

"But.. "

"No but! If you save him, our disguise will be exposed. We will failed to infiltrate in the Empire and we may not save anyone." Cage whispered angrily.

Jack wants to say something but he saw Hanna shaking her head. He crouched down on the corner.

'I hope Young Cale is here, he will surely know what to do.' He thought.

Cage knows that she is being ruthless but this is reality, we cannot save everyone. When she says that she was an expert on this, it is true.

After the death of her best friend, Taylor Stan. She was excommunicated by the church of the God of Death. Cage wandered in different places, acting as a traveller, a beggar and most of the time as a slave. She infiltrated several auction houses to catch and kill those human traffickers and slave traders.
