Chapter 128: Not Yet the Time

Noen stood in the wheat field, overseeing the slaves at work.

This had initially been his father's responsibility, but in recent days Ibia and his father had to take a trip, so the task had fallen onto him.

Noen was a kindhearted soul, simply minded and not prone to cunning, being a slave under Casas's care. Now, in charge of these working slaves, he would, at most, smash his whip on the ground for sound when he saw any of them slacking.

It was for this reason that the working slaves did not fear him but instead grew close to him because of his disposition, bringing him clean water or softened hard bread, which Noen, being too polite to decline, would invariably accept.

After a few days, Noen had become well acquainted with this group of slaves. During their free time, they would gather and converse, the slaves marveling at how such an old servant could have a son like him.
