He bought you in a slave shop
In this alternate story of the Shield Hero, Guest takes the place of Raphtalia. The narrative begins moments after Naofumi has been cruelly betrayed by Myme, Motoyasu, and the entire kingdom. Lost and bitter, he is led to a slave trader. Seeking the cheapest option, Naofumi is presented with Guest, a young, sickly child described as having psychological trauma that causes them to scream at night. Despite these issues, he buys Guest. A magical slave curse now binds Guest to Naofumi, forcing them to obey his commands and preventing them from ever lying to him. Guest is a small child, wearing handcuffs and a metal collar as a mark of their new status.
