Director Cou's Reprimandation

The guard had a hand on his cheek, startled eyes staring at Director Cou.

"B-but Director Cou-" he stuttered out. Barely forming the first words out before Director Cou cut in.

"You chose to waste my time with your useless antics! So what if a measly slave tore out a few scraps?! Beating her senseless was not the answer! Now we will lose money by paying for a medic to look after her!"

Furiously waving towards the young girl panting heavily in her unconscious state. The guard desperately glanced between his chief and the slave eyes furrowed in a manner of confusion.

By this time, most field slaves were half drawn into the conversation paying no mind to the bulky guards stationed near them, as they were also finding their entertainment from the scenario.

"Sir she is just a mere slave, we have many to spare." the guard stated finding no fault in his own words. Until a searing sting was felt once more on the opposite cheek from the first. Placing his other hand to subside the pain, he remained quiet.

Finding no point in arguing with the guard Director Cou chose to calm down and resolve the issue.

" This is why you will never be more than what your are....." Cou breathed out, clasping his hands together, he lifted his head high to present the superiority between statuses. "... Very well, since it was a young slave girl that created this sort of issue from the beginning let us resolve it by reprimanding every young slave girl fitting her age rank."

"B-but sir how does that make sense? Her stealing had nothing to do with the other girls.... we will lose profit if the rest of the girls are absent due to their healing process..."

Directing a glare towards the guard that questioned his decision, yet could not tell his own faults. Director Cou turned his back " If the slave felt the need to steal, she was uneducated. Signifying that the rest of the girls her age would have the same kind of common sense that she does. Catching this bad habit early is crucial in making them understand where their place is. Besides you stated that there are 'many to spare' so you will prevail...hmp."

A smirk graced the features of Director Cou reveling in his achievement of leaving the guard in stunned silence.

Gesturing towards the young girl, he began his venture back to his quarters hands grasped at dorsal view.

"Make it note that the slave girl gets the nutrients she needs, along with her visit to see Doctor Fue. Bring your batch of slave girls year 8 to 13 to my offices by the time you make them start work tomorrow. They won't have a criteria for that day."

As he graceful departed from the field, the guard turned red, clutching his whip and clenching his teeth. Letting out a frustrated scream he lashed at the ground, startling everyone that had been enthralled at Director Cou's reprimandation.

"Get back to work! ALL OF YOU!!! " rubbing his hand against the red face that consisted of rage and embarrassment he turned his back.

Not being told twice everyone did as he commanded while, a stationed guard near Shu headed towards the unconscious slave girl.

Observing their departure towards the main houses out in the horizon, Shu's brow crinkled worried for the events she will experience in the day to come.

Nonetheless, she continued with her rhythm.

'Grab, Twist, Pick.'
