The large market in the capital of Melromarc was bustling with activity as always. Vendors were hawking their wares, customers were arguing and haggling over prices, and the guards were ensuring that no one was stealing anything... However, a particularly loud wailing could be heard coming from the edge of the square. There, harnessed to a cart, was a naked girl of about 12 years old, with raccoon ears and a raccoon tail. It seems she was a slave of a merchant, who forced the poor thing to pull this heavy cart. The little one whined loudly and cried, it was painful. However, the guards did not react to this - in Melromark slavery is officially allowed, and therefore they do not care about the pain of the slave. The owner of the poor thing swung a whip at her

The evil merchant: "Go, I said, fleabitten animal! Quickly! Stop whining!"

the baby immediately cowered and tried to get under the cart, but the bridle and harness on her prevented her

Raphtalia: "I can't! Please! Don't hit me, master! I can't! The cart is too heavy! It hurts!"
