The Slave Market

We made or way to the market where Rose got fresh vegetables, fruit, bread and a few other odds and ends. She stopped at where a few kids had gathered and gave them a loaf of bread and they happily went on their way.

"So any clue what you are looking for?" I said as I saw an assortment of different races. Though they where called indentured servants they all wore slave collars. Most of them had only become such after they had been unable to pay off a financial dept though owed to another. They unlike slaves though had to receive a wage of some sort so they could pay off the debt as well as a limit as to the number of years they had to work for the person who held their contract. There were of course no elves, gnomes, or humans, least not with collars on.

"I don't know, someone who can help around the shop." She smirked.

"A cowgirl maybe. You could serve free milk." I joked as we walked past a couple.

"Eww." Rose gave me a look.

"What its the same thing?"

"They are hard workers but I am not serving breast milk to our guest." She gave me a look and an elbow. "A cat girl maybe? No dad has allergies."

"Guess that counts out all the furries." I joked. Their where quit a few demi-humans about. They where a minority and where treated less then even orcs and goblins.

"Move aside, fresh bitches coming through." I heard a voice say and a male goblin was walking with several female goblins on a chain. They wore the bare minimum of clothing if one could even call it clothing. It was mostly furs and clothed stitched together. If I had to guess they where from goblin town.

"Fucking goblins. They would sell their own kind for a copper." Rose said as she sneered at the head of the goblin troop. I saw the last one that really stood out. She was to tall to be a goblin and to short to be an orc. Normally goblins where just about the right height for a blow job a friend of mine used to say but she was about chest height.

She was quit pretty. Goblins for the most part where like every other race being as some where good looking and some were not, and a few where just fucking ugly. This one though was quit easy on the eyes. I would say more cute in the face then sexy. She had a nice pair of tits on her that bounced as she walked and soft curving hips. As she passed I got a good look at her tight round ass. She was very fuckable for lack of a better word. She tripped and fell and when the chain tugged her forward and landed on the cobblestone street. Rose rushed to help her up a second before I could react.

"Fucking... I swear girl... Can't you see where you are going." The goblin leader said as he came over with a riding crop. He went to swing it at her but rose got in the way. "Get away from my property you bitch. She is mine until I sell her."

"Put one hand on my friend and you want live long enough to sell any of them." I said putting my hand on my dagger making him stop in his tracks.

"Nothing but trouble this one. She isn't worth the four silvers I paid for her." The Goblin sneered. I noticed quit a crowd had gathered around us now though they kept back to see if this was going to be a fight.

"Fine, I will give you four silvers for her." Rose said loudly.

"What, no. To little." He sneered

"You just said she isn't worth that much, I don't know about the rest of the people around here but who would want to buy from a goblin who can't keep his word." I looked around and people laughed.

"I would have to agree." A voice said. I looked up and saw the queen.

"My Lady." A bowed as did everyone else.

"You set the price when you stated her value for all to hear. To sell her for more would be fraud."

"Fine, four silvers, now and you take the bitch." He held out his hand toward Rose.

"First I would like to see a bill of sell with her signature on it." The queen said.

"I... I have no paper... her father sold her to me to pay his debts."

"And the others?" The queen asked.

"Same." The goblin stated, he was a fucking idiot.

"Guards arrest him for slavery and free his slaves. I will not have any person sold to pay the debts of another, such is the laws written by my husbands hand." She said looking around. Even those who would not listen to an elven queen still had to follow the kings law. The guards took the goblins keys and undid all of the other goblins chains and collars while putting a pair of shackles on him.

"Further, I am here to tell you all that as of this morning Duke Warrick has named himself king of the east. As such any man here or through out the kingdom who is willing to fight will have his debts paid in full by the crown and he will be paid a fair and equal wage as fitting a soldier to be paid to them or their families. Any man who wishes to do so can see my men." The Queen pointed and looked around. I saw several men come forward and make the way through the crowd followed by several more who had just been waiting for someone else to go first.

"So I see you make it a habit of defending young women." The Queen came over and held out her hand for me to stand up.

"It's a really bad habit of mine your majesty." I smiled.

"Thank you your majesty." Rose said doing her best curtsy.

"It is my honor dear. Many years ago it would have been my kind sold here. I only could have wished for someone to treat me as kind as you treat others." The queen smiled and stepped forward giving Rose a kiss on the forehead. I thought Rose might jump out of her skin as excited as she was. The queen excused herself and made her way through the crowd as her guards cleared a path.
Rose turned back to the last goblin girl.

"There, you're free to go." Rose smiled.

"I... I have no where to go..." She said a little confused. "My family sold me. I am a slave. That is all I am good for."

"Bullshit. How about you come with us and we will get you something to eat and some food and we can talk about you working for me. I will even pay you." Rose smiled.

"Okay." She said shyly.

"Do you have a name?"

"No. They only called me hob or mongrel."

"We will have to fix that." Rose said.

"I have to ask. You are really tall for a goblin." Rose smiled as she led the way.

"I am a hobgoblin, what you would call half goblin." She said shyly.

"Who was your mother and father?" I asked.

"My mother was a goblin, I do not know my father." She said. Human maybe. Her skin was a softer shade then most goblins. We went back to the tavern. Rose's dad wasn't too thrilled but Rose wouldn't back down on the matter.
