I ignored the window in favor of my current situation. We were in a cave, so I've no idea how long it's been since we were moved. Also, I would've noticed if somebody moved me and my twin. Was something there in the flower field?

Useless thoughts, stop thinking about the. Focus on the present. My scythe is still too big and heavy for me to handle, so all that's left is using my daggers. I looked around my cage and it looks like the bars were made if iron. Engraved shackles like those put on my twin sister clamped around my wrists and legs.

I noticed that they were draining my Mana at slow pace. If they were spying when I and Lyra trained (played), then they must've noticed the huge amount of Mana within her body. Since I didn't show everything to Lyra, they probably concluded that I was not that much of a threat without magic.

I'll make them regret that decision.

I grabbed the daggers from my inventory. Iron dagger on my left, and Slime dagger on my right. The iron bars were sturdy, but if there was one thing I learned about slimes in this world, it's that slimes produce acid within their bodies that can melt iron.

MP: 400 / 525

I summoned one slime to melt the bars. While the slime continued on melting the iron bars, I stood watch, trying to see if there were any guards around. Whenever one passed, I hid the slime and slumped down on the floor, blocking the melting iron from their sights. This didn't stop them from spitting on me, as well as hurling the common vulgar comments.

Sucks to be you, after being a member of one of the most toxic fandoms in my past life, all your swearing amounts to what an 8 year-old would say.

He left after having his fill of verbally assaulting me about how noble children are spoiled, how nobles ruined their lives and had to resort to crimes to get food on the table, and how unfair the world is.

Since I had no idea how other nobles think, I dismissed his claims and filed it into the corner of my mind. I'll deal with that when they want to threaten me or my family.

Once he was out of sight, the slime went back to work and 5 minutes later, the iron bar completely melted, creating a hole big enough for me to squeeze through. I moved silently, activating my [Stealth] skill that was already level 4.

The cave area I was in was just a room with a linear pathway in the exit. I creeped silently, and saw one man stacking up boxes and carrying them out with haste. I wasted no time after confirming he was the only one in the area.

He was the man earlier who hurled complaints about nobles at me. He might be a victim of others, but right now, in my eyes, all I see is a threat to the life of Lyra's and I.
