บท 57: Blood of God

Kelly cupped her mouth in shock. She threw down the whip in her hands and hugged her father Mark, "Father, what happened?"

Kelly was crying. She saw the blood on her hand, her voice sour, "Why… why... are you covered in blood?"

Mark had wanted to sell the gemstone with the ichor. All he asked for was a thousand gold. With the money, he could escape his identity as a slave and take his daughter away from this life of servitude. He could buy a large piece of land and an identity as a free citizen, forever freeing himself from the shackles of a slave. From then on, he could perhaps become a merchant, or a craftsman.That way, his children and grandchildren would never have to become a slave.
