Bab 196: A HIDDEN CONSPIRACY (2)

Joda had been dragged by the two scowling men who turned out to be the guards of the Merchant, Thrall. They had moved from the shores and into a waiting carriage. The Merchant and his guards had debated loudly to Joda's annoyance whether they should let him get dragged behind the carriage or allow him to board the small vehicle.

The Merchant had finally decided to let the young slave walk along with two others. He had told Joda and two more slaves he had bought that day that it was the young boy's fault they were going to walk and this had caused glares and looks of hatred from the two new slaves as their bounds got attached to the carriage before it started moving.

Joda had ignored the young children and instead focused on the town they were traveling through. He made a mental note of all the things he saw. Their architecture, their fashion, and their general way of life. After traveling for about twenty minutes, they made it to Thrall's house.
