Chapter 68: Kidnapping

The morning sun shone down, illuminating the entire world.

Morning is a beautiful day, and there are countless proverbs about the morning.

The ancients said, "The plan for the year lies in spring, and the plan for the day lies in the morning."

Some people say: The early bird gets the worm.

In short, there are many proverbs of this kind.

Roa sat quietly in his chair, looking expressionlessly at Eris, who was hanging her head low.

Eris's fiery red hair slid down her neck and onto the desk. Her head was bobbing up and down.

Roa was all too familiar with this situation.

Wasn't this exactly what he looked like in his previous life during math class?

The teacher lectured above, and he slept below.

But this time the roles were reversed, with Roa lecturing above and Eris sleeping below.

Roa glanced at the textbook he had worked so hard to write and felt like he had been a fool.

Roa got up and quietly approached Eris from behind. He turned his right hand into a knife hand and struck Eris on the forehead.

Roa wasn't afraid of hurting Eris. Anyway, Eris was definitely durable.

Instantly, Eris, who had been hanging her head low, was hit hard on the forehead, and her entire head slammed into the desk, making a thud.

Of course, Roa didn't really use much force, just enough to make her feel pain, not enough to really knock her silly.

Rudeus snickered beside him, looking at Eris with a playful expression.

Roa said expressionlessly, "How can you sleep at your age?"

Eris, whose entire face was buried in the desk, hadn't reacted yet. The feeling of intimate contact with the desk made her cheeks hurt. She clenched her fists tightly, her fiery red hair standing on end, and her whole body exuded an extremely manic aura.

"You, you bastard!" Eris shouted almost through gritted teeth. She propped up the desk with both hands and suddenly raised her head, glaring fiercely at Roa.

Her fingers cracked as she clenched them, and she threw a punch at Roa's abdomen. Roa dodged slightly, and Eris's punch missed, but her eyes still stared at Roa hatefully.

This time, Rudeus's smile gradually disappeared, and a dangerous smile gradually appeared on Roa's expressionless face.

His handsome face was filled with a strange brilliance, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised as he looked at Eris with interest and said to her, "Eris, it's very disadvantageous not to know magic. Are you sure you want to keep being stubborn with me?"

Eris shouted loudly, "It's none of your business!"

Roa didn't say anything more. He thought for a moment, packed up his textbooks, and walked out of the house. He said, "Since you don't want to learn, I won't force you."

After saying that, he left the house leisurely.

Leaving behind a somewhat stunned Eris.

Then, that expression turned into joy. Rudeus, who was standing beside her, shook his head. This child probably didn't know what was going to happen tonight.

Roa was obviously setting a trap for her, but even though it was such an obvious trap, Eris couldn't see it.

Eris was very happy, at least she was happy now.

She hadn't been restrained by Roa all morning. Without that annoying guy around, she once again experienced the feeling of "freedom."

She played all morning, and in the afternoon she learned swordsmanship with Ghislaine. Roa also practiced with them at the training ground. At first, when she saw Roa, Eris subconsciously shrank her neck. She was always afraid that Roa would settle the score later.

But when she saw that he was studying with them with an indifferent attitude and didn't pay any attention to her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although it was a little strange, his reaction was ultimately a good thing for her, so why should she think so much as long as it was a good thing?

That was Eris's thought.

And the facts proved that Eris was indeed unlucky.

Eris had a very comfortable day. There was no annoying Roa, and she could swing her favorite swordsmanship to her heart's content. Everything was back to the way it used to be.

In the evening, Eris even had a good dream, dreaming that she beat Roa up badly.

Until she was awakened by violent shaking, she had already discovered that the comfortable bed she had been lying on had been replaced by a dark, hard box.

A damp, musty smell wafted over, and Eris almost wanted to vomit just from smelling it. She wanted to shout and scold, but she suddenly realized that her mouth was stuffed tightly with a piece of cloth. She subconsciously wanted to use her hands to remove the cloth from her mouth, but she suddenly realized that her hands and feet were tied tightly.

Suddenly, Eris's eyes widened. She seemed to have realized something. Eris began to struggle frantically, trying to break free with brute force, but the rope was tied very tightly. The more Eris struggled, the tighter the rope became.

Eris's struggle not only didn't work, but it also alerted the people sitting in the back of the carriage.

A rough, muffled voice came, a man's voice. He cursed, "What are you doing? If you move again, I'll kill you."

He kicked the wooden box hard, and the wooden box slammed into the side of the carriage, making a loud bang. The strong inertia caused Eris's head to hit the wooden box hard.

The intense pain made Eris wake up for a moment, and at the same time, another sound of a head hitting the wooden board came.

Eris's originally moist eyes lit up instantly. She wasn't the only one who had been kidnapped. There was another person beside her, that person.

Was it Roa?

She immediately thought of that usually very strict boy. Eris moved with great difficulty, reaching out towards the source of the sound.

And at some point, the sound of the carriage had stopped, and the bumpy feeling was gone. Suddenly, the box seemed to be lifted up, and that bumpy feeling came again.

Eris's expression was pale. Her hand, which had been touching the other person, missed because of the sudden change, but she could feel that the other person was nearby.

But why wasn't the other person making a sound?

If it was Roa, it should be easy to break through, right? All kinds of doubts swirled in Eris's mind.

The door was opened, and the group walked forward for a moment. A slightly mocking voice came, "Yo, it seems that guy really did it. Not bad, we can sell them for a good price now."

"Yeah, we've finally made it. After this deal, we won't have to do this kind of thing anymore."

With the sound of voices, the iron door was opened, and then Eris felt the world spinning. The box slammed hard on the ground, making a loud bang. Eris's head made intimate contact with the wooden box again, the pain almost twice as much as Roa's knife hand.

Finally, the wooden box was opened, and Eris was finally able to see the light of day again. She greedily took a deep breath, and the foul smell in the wooden box made her stomach churn.
