Chapter 67 – Missing villagers

Year 2, Fall, Third Month, Fourth Week.

“Sir, I'm sure there's a very good explanation…”

“Of course there is, feel free to share it with me…”

Horacios forced a smile while trying to think of what could have happened to the burned buildings. He hated that he had to address the Supervisor as his superior, the man was just a servant of the City Lord while he was noble, at least by birth. After sneering at the Supervisor's lowly heritage and cursing him a couple of times in his mind, he returned to think of the situation. If something happened, the Guards watching over the fields would have sent for him, but…

“Sir, maybe an accident happened, the buildings caught fire and the Guards decided to take the harvested crops to the Guard's Tower…”

“I see… And how did they managed to move the crops without a cart? Do they have a cart? I supposed they took the villagers with them too.”
