Elizabeth hated the slave trade. It was such a stain on the pride of her country. She glanced around at the crowd noting that most of them were either taking cautious glances at her due to her massive height or staring in awe at the beautiful girl who was now for sale. However the fact that she was a Sister of Bulwark made her quite a special 'guest' in the crowd, but it was common for a Sister to interrupt such trades due to their dominating presence and outspoken sense of justice. This 'butcher' wasn't about to lay a finger on this girl. She began to move toward the platform, the crowd's eyes instantly locking onto her giant figure, her armor clacking as she walked. [b][color=f9ad81]"I'll be taking her in as a Sister. Should you resist, you will be infringing on military business.. And you know what that means."[/color][/b] She stated in a commanding voice, looking down at the auctioneer. A murmur filled the crowd as they listened to the giantess' statement. Ellie caught words like 'unfair' and 'unjust'. She cracked. She turned the face the crowd, her irritated expression causing the crowd to go silent, [b][color=f9ad81]"Do you know what's really 'unjust'? Selling these poor women and children to do your bidding. How would you feel if you saw your child or friend up here being sold to a pig like him?"[/color][/b] Her voice boomed as she pointed at the butcher noble. [b][color=f9ad81]"Just because they have no where to go, doesn't mean you treat them like they're objects. If I could, I would take all of these 'slaves' under my custody, but the Sisters only allow one Squire per Knight. But if I find out that you're mistreating these people, you'll have something other than death to fear."[/color][/b] After one last glare at the crowd, she crushed the chains that held the girl from her vision, with her bare hands. She picked up the girl and carried her the same way you would for a princess. Calmly walking out of the crowd. Curses and objections flew around the crowd as she walked away, the auctioneer attempting to calm the crowd down, claiming that there was nothing he could do about it. Truth be told, there really wasn't anything he could do about it, but Ellie knew that she was going to either be commended for her courage or be reprimanded by an official. It didn't matter to her, because she was able to secure the girl of vision. [b][color=f9ad81]"Sorry about that."[/color][/b] She smiled at the girl in her arms to reassure her that she was safe now.
