章 975: Skounae

"Tell me, Valga, are there not still other Vretis out there who endure every day in hopes of one day being freed from their servitude?" Sorkoza asked.

"This..." Valga had a troubled expression.

She knew that Sorkoza was correct. She could not bring herself to say that the Vretis outside this city was not his responsibility. After all, she was once one of those lost Vretis until the Duke saved her.

"Valga, if we are incapable of caring for our own kind, how can we ever expect anyone else to care for us? We do not require pity; however, if there is no window from which to view our circumstances, both inside and externally, it will be difficult to invoke any long-lasting changes." Sorkoza explained calmly.

He then continued, "You may not understand right now, but today will forever be marked as a crucial event for the Vretis. And, whether it is known to him or not, it will all be thanks to that human."
