Chapter 7 Sewah, the Tree“s Son

It was 4:00 AM when Daniel finally reached his hoate, so he had to cross the whole city to reach his house, which was in the outer in front of a white colored building, the surface of the wall had numerous cracks, and the rehtest touch The door was o, rabbed the door knob it was loose

After entering his house, Daniel slowly stepped on the hard stone floor, and walked towards the bedroom Step after step he approached the bedrooh to take a peek inside the roo on his bed She had fallen asleep while hugging his pillow, her expression one of worry Daniel's face softened as he looked at his beloved sister, and felt sorry forher worry He then closed the door of the room and left the house

People in the slums did not have a way to wash themselves within their houses The only ways they had to clean themselves, was to fill buckets of water from the closest well, and take them to their houses, or even wash themselves in the street

What he and his sister were used to do, was to go to a bathhouse and clean themselves there There weren't many bath houses in the slums, but luckily, they lived in the outermost parts, so they could simply walk to the commoner's section, and take a bath in one of its numerous bath houses

For Daniel it had always been important that he and his sister were always clean She went to school in the commoner's section, and he didn't want her to be discriminated because she lived in the slu he did whenever he had money, was to make sure her needs were met

His sister had told him dozens of times to think more about himself she even reminded him that his clothes were too small for him But he always smiled and told her that he liked those clothes

After taking a bath, Daniel went back home, sneaked silently into the bedroom, and fell asleep on his sister's unoccupied bed

Slums, 12:10

Daniel woke up to the mid-day noise that ca in the streets, and street sellers pro their cheap wares as loudly as possible

What Daniel noticed first, was that his sister was gone His bed had beenroos on it aiting for him over the table

He knew that his sister wouldn't co, so he rapidly ate his cold breakfast, and left the house

Daniel had a clear idea of hoould spend his day Ten days remained before the end of the month, and he had no means to pay What he wanted to do instead, was to sneak into thebeast core to an auction house

Rank 3 beast cores were rare, but not difficult to find Only the part of forest that was closer to the city had been cleared of most rank 3 beasts, therefore, if one were to venture further, they would be able to see powerful beasts

Unfortunately, most of the powers that were able to hunt for beasts of the third rank, or higher, usually kept them for their use Those in need ofthe third rank was so for well-off people

This was the reason why, not only the closer one got the the center of the city, the wealthier people were but they were also more powerful

One had to know that the learned district had strict rules Setting up shop was strictly prohibited, as the learned district was a place for the biggest sects, schools of overnment offices That's the reason why the best shops and auction houses, were situated right outside the southeastern entrance of the learned district, within theup shop in that area was extre roups, used to spent their wealth there

Daniel didn't have enough money to buy a temporary perranted one if he did, due to his attire What he decided to do was to stand right inside the city walls, and wait for a e, and sneak past the wall that separated the working and merchant district

Daniel's opportunity presented itself right away Inside the city walls, right past the gate, a fat, richly dressed irl dressed in tatters The girl was around the age of his sister, 16 years old, she had long dark brown hair, and her skin was very pale

At the couple's feet was a pile of broken pottery, straw and pieces of wood It was clear to everyone's eyes that the girl was the fat round, ruining its content

Slavery was legal in the kingdom of Karalis, therefore the irl

Everyone looked as the ry shouts into heavy slaps One after the other, the irl squarely on her face Both her once pale cheeks were now bright red, tears were running down her cheeks non-stop, yet she never covered her face She knew that if she covered herself, theat them from the side His fists clenched so hard that if the ers, he would have crashed it like an egg He kept thinking about his sister, and how she could have been the girl if they ended up as slaves

It took a few e and entered it The girl, that noas unrecognizable, had to walk barefooted nearby the wagon that contained the irl He could try to help the girl escape, but then he would have to take care of her, which for now, he couldn't afford He promised to himself that, if in the future he had a possibility to do so, he would do all he can to free her, or anyone in her situation
