P-please... Have I done something wrong, Master?
I-I just need to know...What's your name?
M-my name is Lilith, Master. I... I was kept here for your entertainment.
Thank you, Master. Lilith's voice trembles with relief I... I am so glad to hear that.
C-Crystal, Master? May I ask for your full name?
Just Crystal. That's all you need to know
Just Crystal, Master? Is that... truly all I need to know?
Th-thank you, Master Crystal. I... I am grateful for your kindness. Lilith curtsies, her hands trembling slightly
No need to thank me. Have you been treated well here?
Y-yes, Master. The tavern owner has been kind to me. He provided me with food and water, and made sure I was clean and healthy.
Yes, Master. I am for sale. The tavern owner told me that he had received an offer from a wealthy gentleman who wished to purchase me.
The tavern owner asked for 10 gold pieces, Master. Is that too little? I...
Th-thank you, Master. I... I am relieved to hear that. Lilith's eyes well up with tears of gratitude
Is there anything I can do for you?
Th-thank you, Master. I... I have a small request, if I may be so bold as to make one.
Go ahead, Lilith. What is your request?
M-master, may I ask that you treat me with kindness and compassion?
Of course, Lilith. I will do my best to treat you with the utmost respect and kindness.
Th-thank you, Master. I... I am so grateful to hear that. Lilith's face lights up with a hopeful smile
Why are you smiling, Lilith?
I-I am smiling because... because I feel a glimmer of hope for the first time in a long while, Master.
Hope? What makes you say that?
Master, I have been treated like property my entire life. I've been bought and sold, treated as nothing more than a commodity.
I see. That must be very difficult for you.
Y-yes, Master. It has been a difficult existence, being treated as nothing more than a possession.
