Colonial Suit

In the vast starry sky, a large prison ship was speeding through space. On the ship, Avril lay by the porthole, silently watching the starry sky outside.

She had already left Kanali, but Avril was extremely lost. She didn't know where she was going or what the future held.

Avril didn't regret leaving Camille. She wanted to see the outside starry sky. She had been planning for this day for a long time. Even the timing of her running away from home was premeditated. But she never expected so many things to happen later. Even more so, she didn't expect to fall into an irredeemable situation because of it. Slave, just thinking about it was a terrifying word. Avril never thought that one day this identity would fall on her.

The light in the cabin was very dim. Avril tightened the clothes on her body, wrapping herself up even tighter. In fact, the temperature in the cabin was not low, but she was still cold. Cold from the heart.

Looking at the starry sky outside the window, her mood was so bleak. Because she knew that she probably wouldn't have the chance to soar freely again.

"What are you thinking about?"

A coat with body temperature was draped over Avril's body, and Melia's voice sounded in her ear. Avril didn't turn her head, just said quietly.

"Sister, am I very useless?"

"Why do you say that?" Melia curled her lips. "Just because of the setbacks during this period? Avril, this doesn't seem like you. Haven't you always been very optimistic and strong? Where did Avril, who used to play water polo with me and argue tit-for-tat, go?"

"But I..." Avril tightly grasped the corner of the coat, feeling Melia's body temperature on it.

"It's because of me that my sister has also fallen into trouble. And I don't know... whether we have a chance to go back..."

"What if we can't go back?" Melia said nonchalantly. With a look of disdain. "Haven't you seen it after such a long time? This world... is a world of the strong. It won't change no matter where you are. Go back to Camille and continue to be loved by Father? What good is there besides being a good baby? That's not the life we need. Remember? The first time you played water polo with me, you shed your quiet appearance and showed your lively side. I know that's the real you."

"Avril." Speaking of this, Melia pulled Avril over, a rare trace of tenderness appearing on her face. "Believe me, any setbacks are temporary. As long as you want, as long as you don't give up. One day, you will get everything you want."

"Including... freedom?" Avril buried her head in Melia's arms, timidly said.

"Including." Melia answered affirmatively. With a look of unwavering conviction.

"But we are now..."

"That's also temporary." Melia interrupted Avril's words unceremoniously, and said decisively. "Avril, I won't let anyone hurt you. Absolutely not."

Because... I am your sister.

These were the words Melia didn't say out loud. But Avril seemed to understand. She lowered her head gently. A trace of emotion appeared in her eyes.

Just then, the cabin door opened automatically. Chris walked in.

At this moment, he was wearing a gorgeous pajamas, looking lazy, holding a flower of an unidentifiable name in his hand. He walked into the room, and said to Avril with a smile. "I knocked on the door."

"Get out!" Melia shouted unceremoniously. With a look of disgust.

It was a pity that her words were too weak for Chris. Chris didn't even look at her, and walked to Avril on his own, and said affectionately to Avril. "Your beauty is really intoxicating. Miss Avril. Especially this kind of weak and helpless appearance, just like a jade orchid in a secluded valley, can you accept this amethyst dream? Only your beauty is worthy of its fragrance."

"I said get out!" Seeing Chris being so rude, Melia became even more angry, and stretched out her hand to protect Avril behind her. But although her speed was fast, Chris was even faster, and without seeing him move, he slapped Melia's face. He hit her so hard that she retreated several steps. When she stopped, a trace of blood was faintly visible at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister!" Avril exclaimed, and was about to help Melia, but was grabbed by Chris.

Chris still had a gentlemanly smile on his face, put the amethyst dream in Avril's hand with one hand, and then sighed softly. "Actually, I'm not used to hitting women, but I remember reminding you, Miss Avril, my patience is limited. Before, for your sake, I tolerated your sister's offense. But your sister doesn't seem to realize how much tolerance this is."

"Roll your mother's tolerance!" Melia shouted angrily, without wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, jumped up and kicked Chris. She used to be a famous water polo player on Camille, and although she hadn't undergone combat training, this kick was extremely fierce. Even a slight whistling sound was heard in the air.

But before she could kick Chris, she saw Chris raise a finger and flick it gently. Bang! Melia flew out like a scarecrow and crashed heavily into the cabin door.

When she slid down, she was drooping her head and had lost consciousness.

Chris then sighed and shook his head. "Look, what a violent girl, maybe you need someone to discipline you properly. I don't want a violent woman on my ship."

Saying that, Chris clapped his hands, and several followers immediately walked in from outside. "Take this Miss Melia away, and teach her what is called politeness and restraint. If she likes violence, give her violence. But before I see her next time, I hope she can learn to change."

"Yes, Young Master Chris." The followers saluted respectfully, and then quickly carried Melia away, not forgetting to close the cabin door when they left.

The room immediately became quiet.

Chris then turned his head and showed Avril a very elegant smile.

"Sorry, I made you worry. But don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you are so beautiful, so touching to me. How could I be willing?"

"Sister..." Avril didn't care about Chris's words, just asked anxiously. "Where are you going to take my sister?"

"Just let her learn politeness." Chris replied. Then he raised a hand, and affectionately picked up a strand of Avril's blue hair, and gently stroked it in his palm. "What beautiful hair, just like the sea of ​​Seria, so blue and clear. Sometimes I wonder, are you an angel given to me by God, that's why we had this encounter? Miss Avril, at this time I don't want you to care about others anymore. That will make me feel uncomfortable. Gentle as you are, you will naturally understand me, right?"

Avril still insisted, revealing a persistence that did not match her appearance. "Please don't hurt my sister. She didn't intentionally offend you."

Sigh..." Chris was silent, a trace of unhappiness flashing obscurely in his eyes. But in a blink of an eye, he put on a faint smile again.

"Of course, if this is your request. I can forgive her again.

But Miss Avril, what good is it for me to do this? You saw it with your own eyes, she is full of hostility and aggression towards me. And her identity happens to be my slave. Do you think I should condone her and let her continue like this?"

"No, no, no." Chris shook his head. Shaking Avril's blue hair in front of him a few times. The smile gradually became a little cold. "This is not the kindness of the master, but doting. It will spoil her. Then what should I do when she offends me next time? Directly give you a cold corpse?"

"No! Please don't do that." Avril was startled by Chris's sudden words. Her face suddenly turned pale. "I... my sister has a bad temper. But she didn't intentionally offend you, please let her go. As long as you let her go, I'm willing to do anything."

At the end, Avril's eyes were filled with tears, but strangely not a single tear fell. Looking at her pear blossom with rain expression. A strong desire to conquer arose in Chris's heart. The smile on his face faded little by little. He turned and walked to the porthole, leaving Avril with a back view.

Looking at the vast starry sky outside the window, Chris was silent for a long time before slowly saying. "Miss Avril, you know how infatuated I am with you. If this is your wish. Then it will be realized. At the next supply station, I will ask someone to send her away and lift her slave status."

"Ah!" Avril covered her small mouth, obviously not expecting such an answer. Not only did a burst of surprise surge.

But Chris's next sentence made her surprise freeze on her face.

"But as a price, Miss Avril. I hope you will accompany me forever. Obey me wholeheartedly, respect me. And..." Chris turned around, his eyes staring at Avril's eyes. "I want you to fall in love with me."

What!?

Avril was struck by lightning, and she was stunned.

Fall in love with him... Is... is this what he just said?

What a joke?

Could it be that love can also be used for trading?

This is really absurd, the most absurd thing Avril has heard since she was born. But for some reason, seeing Chris's insistent eyes, Avril felt that the other party was definitely not joking. But incomparably, incomparably serious.

Gradually, Avril's heart calmed down. And restored the initial tranquility.

She took a deep breath and said to Chris. "I understand, Master Chris. If this is the price I have to pay. Then I will try my best to complete it."

"Very good, then the deal is done." A smug smile appeared on Chris's face. Stretching out a hand to Avril, Avril hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and walking over.

She told herself over and over again that this was a deal. A deal that must be completed. For her sister, for Melia who had always protected her. No matter how unwilling she was, no matter how absurd she felt, she had to do it.

Trading love.

Bang, the cabin door suddenly opened, and a follower rolled in in a mess, opening his mouth and shouting in panic.

"Sir, there's an anomaly!"
