Tangled By Fate

Chapter 185 - THE CONDITION OF THE PERFORMERS

Veronica shook her head. "I don't want that much muscle. Girls like muscles. What if a girl falls for me?"

"…" Sebastian was speechless.

'Why didn't I think of that? If a human trafficker falls for me and tries to rape me, can I fight with this female body?' he began to worry.

Merlin resigned, "Fine, I'll make a potion to turn you into a slim guy. So, anything unusual did you see?"

Veronica shook her head. "Not really. We are just enjoying here–"

Before she could finish her sentence, the girls in the room started to act strange.

They collapsed one by one without making any sound, leaving Veronica, Merlin, and Sebastian in shock.

"What's wrong with them?" Veronica stood up. Her face was slightly pale.

Merlin and Sebastian looked around without a word.

Sebastian stepped closer to a table and sniffed on the wine glass.

"Just as I expected," he said. "They have mixed sleeping pills in the wine."

"Mistress, did you drink or eat anything?" Merlin turned to Veronica.

"No, I was too nervous to eat or drink anything," she replied truthfully.

Sebastian stated, "The traffickers made a move. They want to make us unconscious so that they can send us away without a problem."

Veronica suggested, "Then we should at least pretend that we are unconscious. This way, we will know where they will take us."

"That's a good idea!" Merlin approved.

Just as planned, the three of them laid down on the couch and pretended to be unconscious.

A few minutes later, the door was opened and some hurried footsteps entered the room.

Someone came inside in an unhurried manner and scanned the room with a pair of sharp eyes.

"It looks like it worked again. They are finally asleep," the person spoke.

From the voice, Veronica knew it was the pumpkin-like woman. She could recognize her hoarse voice from anywhere.

The woman instructed, "Tie them up and then take them to the basement. Don't forget to cover their mouths so that they cannot make sounds or ask for help after waking up. If they do, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, Missus!" Her underlings obeyed her.

While the performers were being tied up, the woman strolled inside the room. She paused in her tracks when she saw an unconscious girl with silver hair.

"This girl is pretty," she remarked. "If she is a virgin, she will be sold with gold coins."

The dwarf came forward and rubbed his hands. "Indeed. The master is very pleased with her beauty. He even told me that he would personally check her. He told me to warn you not to harm her. He didn't want a single scratch on her."

"Fine, we won't tie her up." The pumpkin woman snorted. "She already passed out. I don't think she will wake up soon. By the time she opens her eyes, she will already be in her cage."

"The master told me to take her to his room in the basement, along with these two beautiful ladies." The dwarf pointed at two women.

'What? Is Mistress not going with us? Are we going to be separated?' Sebastian started to panic.

'If Mistress Veronica is going somewhere else, which other two will accompany her?' Merlin wondered.

Since their eyes were closed, they had no idea where they were taken.

They stayed quiet and breathed regularly not to get any troublesome attention.

For some reason, the traffickers were being gentle with them. They were expecting something like kicking or pinching just like what they saw in the dark alley.

However, it didn't mean they weren't being molested.

A trafficker slipped a finger in between Sebastian's legs.

The sensation was quite different. He wished to kick the guy and break his fingers but he did his best to contain himself.

After they were carried to somewhere they had no idea of, they were gently laid on a soft mattress.

Merlin slowly opened his eyes as he heard people locking the door from the outside and then sat up.

He saw two more women with him. He was relieved to see Sebastian and Veronica along with him.

'So, the shorty was talking about us. I guess their master truly liked us,' he thought.

"It's only us here. You can relax," he declared.

Sebastian opened his eyes. He was also relieved to see Veronica.

He skimmed the room and inquired, "Are we in an office?'

His remark wasn't wrong. It was a rectangle-sized room. There was a table with a pile of papers. There was a bookshelf in the corner and different colors of folders were neatly kept. In the corner, a single-sized bed was placed.

Three women were currently sitting there.

"Isn't this a chance for us to gather some information?" Veronica's eyes sparkled.

"Let's check the documents first," Merlin suggested.

They didn't think they would be lucky enough to get such valuable information. Some of the names in those documents raised their eyebrows.

Sebastian dejectedly commented, "I can't believe higher ranking aristocrats are involved. They look so honorable from the outside."

"I knew these people had powerful backing but to have 'them' as their backing, it's shocking," Merlin remarked.

Veronica checked some financial reports and stated, "They get a handsome amount of money from trafficking human beings. Virgin women are too valuable in other countries. They seem more expensive than any of us."

Merlin halted before saying, "…I will think of it as a compliment."

Sebastian sang along. "Me too. I don't want to be sold and become a boy toy."

"You won't be a boy toy. You will be a girl toy," Merlin pointed out the mistake.

"That's even worse!" Sebastian yelled.

"Before you become a girl toy, I think you will turn into a boy." Veronica pointed at his chest. "Your… breasts are growing smaller."

Both Merlin and Sebastian looked at their breasts. Merlin was calm unlike his partner beside him.

Sebastian gasped immediately. "What the hell! Why are my boobs shrinking?"

Merlin slapped the table as he remembered something, "Ahh! I think it's a side effect. If the potion user gets sexually assaulted, the magic of the potion starts to wear off. That's what is happening to you."

At that time, they heard footsteps coming closer.
