Reincarnated as a Sheep – Path to Becoming the Strongest Demon Lord - Chapter 5 – Finally arrived

As we entered through the gates of the town, the merchant was stopped and had a conversation with one of the guards. Though I couldn’t exactly tell, seeing the merchant flustered as he subconsciously tapped his ring finger made me giggle a bit. The guard was dressed in plain and boorish metallic armor with a small emblem to his side? Maybe he would free me? I looked quite human after all.

So, while the villainous man frantically searched his pockets for something to find, I took the time to walk-

I almost tripped. How did I already forget what walking on two legs felt like?

Anyways, as I approached the front of the carriage and frantically waved my hands that were locked towards him, he just stared at me before smiling and patting the villain on the shoulder accompanied with a hearty laugh.

Huh?

Was this normal?

Shocked as I was, the merchant eventually handed a couple of coins to the man and turned to me.

“£$%@~# *&^!”

My poor ears…

I don’t even know what he said but as soon as the journey was resumed, I fell off and landed on my butt.

I swear to god I will end this man.

The town itself, while not holding a single candle to modern cities, was vibrant and filled with stone-wooden buildings, multiple stalls selling anything from fruit to flour to food and jewellery. I guess this was one of the more prospering areas with large quantities of individuals in fashionable clothes.

While the journey continued, the vegetation became thicker with there being less but larger houses until a mansion was in sight. Like a palace, it had a grand entrance with a well-decorated garden on either side foreshadowing the estate. Needless to say, the gardens looked extremely appetizing.

As the carriage slowed to a halt for the second time, the merchant was greeted by an elderly man with a suit. A butler? He was together with 2 other men in much more rough clothing. As they entered the carriage, they put a collar with a leash on each of the sheep and-

Why is one approaching me?

“I’m not one of the goods you idiot!”

As he tried to put the collar on me, I began kicking my legs and flailing in frustration up to the point of tears.

*smack*

“@#£$ %^&*£”

My cheek seared. This bastard. Before I could even attempt a counter, he put the collar on and tied the leash around my arms so I couldn’t even move them anymore before picking me up and carrying me out.

This absolute humiliation that I’m forced to endure.

How I wish the tables could be turned.

As this brawn-in-rags carried me down and towards the entrance of the estate, the merchant looked at me with a disgusting smug smile on his face as he gives a little wave before guiding the horse somewhere with the butler.

The mansion itself was majestic. With a stereotypical red carpet, paintings on every corridor as well as statues. I wouldn’t have minded living here at all. If it was mine.

Swiftly I was laid of the brute’s shoulder and forced to stand in front of an elaborately dressed blond  “gentleman”, with a suit with golden buttons and red attire to fit the feel of the building next to – his children?
