Missing Slaves

Unerolia sat forward in her chair and I could see her grip tighten on the armrest while she fought to maintain that look of a proper lady.

"What do you mean by that? How did so many of our slaves go missing? Why was I not informed of this?"

The Julian guy hesitated again before turning to the slaves and made a shooing motion.

All of them understood and filed out of the room without complaint, though I wonder how they were dealing with this since it was their own colleagues that had gone missing and they were also at risk of it.

He waited until the door had shut before turning back to the Marchioness.

"At first, we thought it was just runaway slaves since the ones that went missing are criminal slaves."

Unerolia nodded, "Yes, I am aware of that. I believe that it was reported that there was a pending investigation and hunters have been deployed to search for them?"
